What It’s About: When I heard they were going to give Izzy a brain tumour next season I was super-happy because she sucked the big one in season four and are we sick of Katherine Heigl yet because I want to smack her smug face. That said, this season of Grey’s was better than last and hopefully the next will improve even more.
So Meredith and Derek were all back and forth and back and forth and will they just make up their freaking minds? Christina was desperate for a new Cardi mentor and wanted to get in with Hahn but got cock-blocked by Izzy. Izzy…ugh. Callie’s world kinda dissolved Georgie cheated and she couldn’t handle her new job but at least she made new friends. And poor Bailey’s marriage is falling apart. McSteamy did NOT get enough screen time. Here’s looking for a new season where M and D make up their minds and someone gets a chance to be happy for a bit.
Technical Stuff: Looks great and sounds great. Buena Vista rocks.

Final Verdict: If you’re a biggie fan, buy it. Otherwise rent to get caught up.

What It’s About: Being preggo I appreciate preggo humour more than ever. Thankfully, you don’t have to be carrying a baby to love Baby Mama. Amy Poehler and Tina Fey star in this comedy where both get to show off their comedic chops, if not to the full extent.
Fey is a single successful woman who can’t have a baby and ecides to have a surrogate carry it for her. Poehler play the wacky surrogate and their chemistry is solid. Yes, some jokes are lame-o and the plot kinda seems out there but the strong cast and great performances make this one get 4 stars from me. It made me giggle a lot!
Technical Stuff: The picture is sort of soft and dull for some reason. Don’t get it… The sound is perfect and it also comes in Spanish and French, and subtitles are available English, Spanish and French.
Synopsis: Comedic geniuses Tina Fey (30 Rock, Saturday Night Live) and Amy Poehler (Saturday Night Live) team up to celebrate a modern twist on motherhood!

Kate (Fey) is a single, successful career woman who wants something more: a baby. But she gets more than she bargained for when she hires Angie (Poehler), a free spirit from South Philly, to be her surrogate in a hysterical mama match-up. From birth class to baby-proofing, they’re the ultimate odd couple that critics are calling “the best female comedy duo since Lucy and Ethel” (Claudia Puig, USA Today).

With hilarious performances from an all-star cast featuring Greg Kinnear, Dax Shepard, and Sigourney Weaver, Baby Mama is as full of laughs as it is heart!

Final Verdict: Buy it, mama!

What It’s About: Betty is the bomb and in the second season the show got even better. Betty’s life got super complicated with Charlie being pregnant and all, all leading to a fantastic season finale where Betty had to choose between Henry and Gio.
The plotlines were delicious and the show is one of the few on television that makes me laugh out loud. Betty is fantastic and doesn’t get the love she deserves. If you still aren’t watching—what’s your problem??
Technical Stuff: Looks and sounds great. Buena Vista never seems to disappoint with technicals.
Synopsis: Betty Suarez is smart sweet and hard working. They only problem is that she's not thin and beautiful like all her co-workers at Mode the high-fashion magazine where she works. The only reason the publisher hired her to be his son's secretary is that he thought Betty was someone who Daniel would never sleep with. Betty's hard work and determination earns Daniel's respect as she helps him find his way through the shark infested waters of the fashion industry.
Extras? On set with The Besties; The Suarez Tour; Wilhelmina Slater: Love to Hate Her; Las Pasiones de Telenovelas; I Heart Betty; Betty Bloops; Deleted scenes
Final Verdict: Buy it. Love it.

What It’s About: Despite being pretty formulaic, NCIS remains engaging in the fifth season. By this point, most shows have jumped the shark but the characters and interesting mysteries keep the show feeing fresh.
Season Five sees the team taking on the normal crimes – murder (often an odd type); drug investigation; and arms deals. It also has a season long story arc run that opens up some of the cast members more and throws some more mysteries on others. DiNozzo’s playboy lifestyle gets thrown for a loop when he is sent undercover to draw out an arms dealer. The great chemistry of the cast works and while I’d like to see the show change things up (like House did last season) it’s still worthy of 4 stars.
Technical Stuff: No issues with the picture or sound.
Synopsis: NCIS (Naval Criminal Investigative Service) is more than just an action drama. With liberal doses of humor, it's a show that focuses on the sometimes complex and always amusing dynamics of a team forced to work together in high-stress situations. NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon), a former Marine gunnery sergeant, whose skills as an investigator are unmatched, formerly led this troupe of colorful personalities. Gibbs, a man of few words, only needs a look to explain it all. The team includes NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo (Michael Weatherly), an ex-homicide detective who may come off as the world's oldest frat boy, but whose instincts in the field are unparalleled; forensic specialist Abby Sciuto (Pauley Perrette), a talented scientist whose dark wit matches her Goth style and eclectic tastes, NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee (Sean Murray), an MIT graduate whose brilliance with computers far overshadows his insecurities in the field and Ziva David (Cote de Pablo), a former Moussad agent who shares a bond with Gibbs over the death of his arch nemesis, Ari, the terrorist who killed former NCIS Special Agent Kate Todd. Assisting the team is medical examiner Dr. Donald "Ducky" Mallard (David McCallum), who knows it all because he's seen it all, and he's not afraid to let you know. Rounding out the team is NCIS director Jennifer Shepard (Lauren Holly) who has a romantic history with Gibbs. From murder and espionage to terrorism and stolen submarines, these special agents travel the globe to investigate all crimes with Navy or Marine Corps ties.

Final Verdict: If you’re a fan, you’ll buy it.

What It’s About: They’re baa-aack! The ladies of Wisteria Lane had gotten quite annoying and not as entertaining in Season Three ( although I still loyally watched) but in Season Four they are back full force. The season was a total winner. Dana Delaney joined as of course, a character with a big secret and she was awesome. She had great chemistry with Bree and the other women. The tornado episodes was a winner and Gabby’s affair with Carlos was hilarious. The show is absolutely back on its feet and I’m a little worried about the upcoming season. The season finale jumped ahead five years which is where we’ll be picking up. Hopefully, the show stays on the addictive track it’s on!
Technical Stuff: Looks and sounds great. Buena Vista never seems to disappoint with technicals.
Synopsis: Take a trip to the steamy side of suburbia as the acclaimed hit Desperate Housewives is hotter, hipper and even more exciting in its sizzling fourth season. "It's time for you to move back to Wisteria Lane," proclaims Entertainment Weekly.

Final Verdict: Buy it. It’s a classic.

Final Verdict: Buy it!!!

What It’s About: I didn’t watch Eli Stone at all on tv and didn’t even know what it was about. I was pleasantly surprised with this new legal drama/ comedy despite it’s obvious attempts to be like Ally McBeal. It’s quirky and different.
It also gets better with each episode so I’m looking forward to seeing what season two brings. It’s about a lawyer who starts to have visions that center around George Michael songs. The vision ends up to be messages and when he follows what they tell him his does good things in the world. It’s a cute premise since he is told he is a modern day prophet which he fights, which of course a prophet would do. Victor Barber is in this one and is quite good (and sings!) as is Natasha Henstridge who I don’t like. She’s just so blah. It’s fun show and deserves a watch.
Technical Stuff: Looks and sounds lovely just like most Buena Vista releases.
Synopsis: Follow Eli Stone (Jonny Lee Miller) on his quirky quest for answers in this exciting and upbeat comedic drama. When Eli awakens to an unending George Michael soundtrack that only he can hear, gets dive-bombed by a WWI biplane on a busy San Francisco street, and faces a fire-breathing dragon outside his office window, there are two possible explanations: delusions caused by a potentially fatal brain aneurysm or the chance that something greater is at work. He might just be a prophet sent to change the world. Victor Garber and Loretta Devine lead an acclaimed supporting cast in this wonderfully wacky new series, Eli Stone: The Complete First Season. Complete with every Season One episode, exclusive bloopers and behind-the-scenes footage, this 4-disc box set will surprise, inspire and leave you feeling like you gotta have faith.
Extras? Extended pilot episode with audio commentary; Deleted scenes; Eli Oops! (bloopers); Acting on Faith: Eli and George Michael; Turning a Prophet: The Creation of Eli Stone; Creating Visions: The Effects of Eli Stone; Inside the Firm: The Natasha Henstridge Tour

What It’s About: Season three of House got boring. The show was still smart but it was extremely redundant. So this season, with its addition of four new main characters (and a bunch of fun peripherals in the beginning) was a huge treat.
Gregory House is as snarky and sexy as ever, and he has to hire three new team members since he fired his other ones. I won’t tell you who they end up being in case you don’t know (I didn’t), but they’re great. The season finale here had me bawling and the two-parter is probably the best story that the show has ever done. They’re amazing.
And a few episodes in here were just stellar, like the one with Mira Sorvino as a scientist stuck at the North Pole who House has to help via webcam. The little story with Michael Michele is also priceless and thank God doesn’t go the way I feared it would. It’s an amazing season and if you’d given up on House before this, come on back. You won’t be sorry.
Technical Stuff: It looks beautiful. The picture is clean and vivid. The sound is Dolby 5.1 with just the right amount of oomph.
Synopsis: Prepare for even more baffling, complex and shocking medical mysteries than ever before as every episode of House: Season Four arrives on DVD! Reunite with the perplexing and prickly Dr. Gregory House (Hugh Laurie in his two-time Golden Globe-winning role) as he tackles impossible cases while putting a new staff of potential team candidates, including Kal Penn (Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle), Peter Jacobson (The Starter Wife), and Olivia Wilde (The Black Donnellys), through the medical wringer with his trademark sarcasm and irreverent bedside manner. Also making house calls this season are such stellar guest stars as Mira Sorvino (Mighty Aphrodite), Frank Whaley (Swimming with Sharks), Michael Michele (ER) and more! Get ready for another dose of one of TV's most original dramas in "...a show that continues to dazzle" (The Boston Globe).
This four disc collection includes all 16 episodes from Season Four of House!

Extras? House's Soap: Prescription Passion; New Beginnings; Meet the Writers; The Visual Effects of House; Anatomy of a Scene: The Bus Crash; My Favorite episode so far...; "House's Head" Commentary with Creator/Executive Producer David Shore and Executive Producer Katie Jacobs
Final Verdict: Buy it!!!

What It’s About: A smarty-pants professor and his family. He meets a doctor he fancies (Sarah Jessica Parker). And then they date. And everybody talks. And it’s all so tedious and for a movie called Smart People, really lacks any wit.
Ellen Page is adorable and even Parker is quite good. Actually the cast isn’t the problem here, it’s the script. It’s one of those movie that tries to be artsy but ends up being boring. If you loved Margot at the Wedding you might like this ‘cause that was boring too.
Technical Stuff: No complaints here, it looks and sounds lovely, as a new movie should.
Synopsis: From the producer of Sideways -- get to know a lovable yet dysfunctional family everyone can relate to in this lighthearted comedy People (Leah Rozen) calls "smart and enjoyable." When Lawrence Wetherhold (Dennis Quaid) -- a widowed and self-absorbed professor -- falls for his attractive former student (Sex and the City's Sarah Jessica Parker), his all-too-predictable life suddenly turns sunny side up. That is until his freeloading brother (Thomas Haden Church) and his sharp-tongued overachieving daughter (Juno's Ellen Page) speak up, making "chaos" the word of the day. Now on DVD, Smart People is even funnier with never-before-seen interviews, deleted scenes and hilarious outtakes.
Extras? Deleted scenes; The Smartest People - interviews with filmmakers and cast; Feature commentary by filmmaker Noam Murro and writer Mark Jude Poirier
Final Verdict: Rent it. Maybe.

What It’s About: I can’t believe they’re remaking 90210. I am so incredibly excited even though it won’t be as good (to me) as the original. It would be hard to beat the show that I grew up with, right? So I am loving watching it all again on dvd but I have to admit, Season Five was when things got wobbly.
First of all, no more Brenda. Sigh. So gone was a certain edge and bitchiness to the show that no new character ever managed to get just right. And man did Tori Spelling ever get annoying. Her boobs seemed to get harder and her hair got as blonde as it could get. And with it she got dumber. But it was fun to laugh at her.
So while this season is where 90210 started to die, it’s still a goodie and die hard fans don’t care anyway. You’re still gonna watch and you know it.
Technical Stuff: I hate to say the show is old ‘cause then I’m effectively calling myself old but it doesn’t look that great. It’s pretty soft and fuzzy and full screen (bah!) Also, notice some of the original music is gone.
Synopsis: Join the party in Beverly Hills 90210! Watch as the down-to-earth Walsh twins, Brandon and Brenda (Jason Priestley and Shannen Doherty), navigate the treacherous halls of West Beverly High after moving with their family from Minnesota. Together with their sophisticated friends Dylan (Luke Perry), Kelly (Jennie Garth), Donna (Tori Spelling), Steve (Ian Ziering) and David (Brian Austin Green), they take on the challenges of adolescence - with a distinctly L.A. twist!
This eight disc collection includes all 32 episodes from The Fifth Season of Beverly Hills 90210!

Extras? none
Final Verdict: Buy it.

What It’s About: I don’t think I can make it through another season of The Hills. This last one almost made my head explode. Heidi is probably the stupidest human being on the face of the earth. If you’re not sure—watch the season finale and focus on her job. Lauren is getting really annoying with her holier than thou and attitude and her treatment of Audrina. Lo is a bitch and I used to love her.
So really—I was very entertained which is the point but I wanted to beat them all with their own perfectly manicured hands. This may be it for me. I don’t think I’ll survive Season Four without stabbing myself in the eye. Try this drinking game—everytime someone says like, drink. You’ll be hammered in five.
Technical Stuff: Picture and sound are fine although I have trouble understanding dialogue at times.
Synopsis: Follow Lauren to L.A. as she attempts to balance a demanding internship at Teen Vogue and a full course load with a demanding nightlife and a full social calendar. But at least she won't have to do it alone. Along the way she meets several friends who expose her to a different part of the city, each chasing their own dreams. The Hills tells the story of four young women on their own for the first time and the fun, laughter and drama that they all share.
This four disc collection includes all 25 episodes from The Complete Third Season of The Hills!
Extras: Closed Caption; Deleted scenes; Interrviews; Commentary; Virtual Hills; Fashion: The Life (Presented by Pepsi Style)
Final Verdict: I think I’m over it. Rental.

What It’s About: First of all—if you’re going to cancel a series, don’t end it with a cliffhanger. That’s rude. Second of all—why did they cancel? I mean, besides the fact that no one was watching. I only ever watched the show on dvd but it was so much fun! And now with Tom Selleck? Yummers!
But it did get cancelled and the season finale was a cliffhanger. But I guess I can’t blame them. Bring on a new show about Vegas, baby!
Technical Stuff: Pictyre is good although it has occasional grain. Sound is quite dynamic.
Synopsis: The fifth and final season of sex-fueled dramedy LAS VEGAS sees billionaire rancher A.J. Cooper (Tom Selleck) taking control of the massive Montecito casino and its scheming staffers. In the wake of President of Operations Ed Deline's (James Caan) departure, the security and surveillance of the resort now rests in the hands of his protg, former marine Danny McCoy (Josh Duhamel), and his genius daughter, Delinda Deline (Molly Simms). Alongside manipulative former casino owner Sam Marquez (Vanessa Marcil) and valet-turned-engineer Mike Cannon (James Lesure), the pair manages the daily ins and outs of the casino, including catching cheaters, busting thieves, and keeping the high-rollers happy. Season five unites Danny and Delinda (a classic on-again, off-again couple) as an item once and for all, as they move in together and plan a pregnancy; in the final episodes, Sam sees a therapist to work on her social skills, Mike must contend with a stowaway fugitive, and the entire surveillance staff gets entangled in a frightening hostage situation.
Extras? Gag Reel; VFX Featurette; Hot Stuff; NBC.com Webcasts
Final Verdict: Rent it!

What It’s About: It’s all about Mariska. Not that Christopher Meloni isn’t good. He’s great. But she really shines in this season and finally won the Emmy to prove it. This isn’t a series you just sit down and watch through one weekend—it’s a little heavy for that. But it’s a great one to have on hand anytime there’s nothing on tv.
There are some great guest stars this season like Dean Cain, Mark McGrath and my face, Marcia Gay Harden. It’s the best out of the Law and Order shows by far.
Technical Stuff: Excellent picture and sound. No complaints whatsoever.
Synopsis: The clues all lead to one of the most hard-hitting and powerful seasons of Law & Order: SVU ever as all 22 gripping episodes of the compelling seventh season arrive on DVD in a five-disc set.
Primetime Emmy Award winner Mariska Hargitay and Primetime Emmy Award-nominated actor Chris Meloni return to their critically acclaimed detective roles to investigate some of the most provocative and emotionally intense sexually based crimes ripped from the headlines.
Join guest stars Dean Cain, Academy Award winner Marcia Gay Harden, Brittany Snow, Mark McGrath and more in this Primetime Emmy Award-nominated series that never flinches from tackling today's toughest topics head-on.
