Get out the marinara it is time for some Spaghetti westerns. The Wild West Collections presents another duo of old western classics; Rio Conchos and Take a Hard Ride.
I know I've said this over and over, but I'll say it again... Stargate Universe is the best series in the Stargate saga. It's unpredictable, dramatic and less sci-fi than the rest. Regretfully, that's why it was not renewed.
In 1978, Burt Lancaster narrated a documentary series known as The Unknown War. This twenty-part, nearly 1000 minute long documentary, or film really, is about the war on the Eastern Front during World War II. This element of the war saw Nazi Germany battling the Soviet Union. It's safe to say that most Americans probably don't know a lot about this aspect of the War because the Allies were not di...[Read More]
Some wars shouldn't be fought, regardless of soldiers.
I know that I sound like a broken record when I say this, but the BBC knows how to make a production. They go all out on shots, footage, editing and especially storytelling. If you need examples you need only look at a show like Planet Earth for examples of both storytelling and footage.

TCM knows how to put on a good production, as most people with cable television (or satellite -- not judging) will tell you how great the channel can be. When Warner Home Video announced they were bringing the Moguls & Movie Stars: A History of Hollywood to DVD well I simply had to see it. As you would imagine, the quality was just as good as expected, but that was never the concern. For a film se...[Read More]
Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn are phenomenal together on screen. Charming, delightful and now all their films together are packed into one DVD set with Tracy & Hepburn the Definitive Collection.
A year or so ago I was introduced to an up and coming company in America that distributed DVDs and Blu-rays for BBC shows. I ran into a great show called Life on Mars and a very subtle show called Doc Martin. The love affair between the BBC and Digitalchumps has never been better sense.
Upstairs, Downstairs was a popular British drama that got its start in the 70s on ITV. This week, the complete series arrives on DVD in a special 40th Anniversary edition, loaded with loads of extra features. The first season is being sold separately as well, which we received for review.
There are days where I simply love being nerdy.
