Seriously Funny



saw this live
I have to say kevin hart is hilariously funny! Saw him perform this stand-up live in richmond,va and was non-stop laughter. This dude is definitely going places and I can't wait to get this on dvd!

OMG!!!
I saw this last night on Comedy Central and I couldn't stop laughing....Best stand up show I've seen in a long time.

Laugh til you cry
I saw this last night on Comedy Central, 3 words- OMG! This is super funny. Kevin Hart is underrated, and he keeps delivering great material. And none of it was recycled from the first one. I am pre-ordering now. Love it!

The Super Hero Squad Show: Volume One



Fun show but only 7 episodes on the disc
Great show for my kids but also some in jokes for those of us who know the real Marvel characters and a couple of puns that will go right over kids' heads. My biggest and guess only complaint is that there is only 7 out of the 26 episodes from the first season. It appears to be the first seven episodes. The stories on the show are minimally based on any actual classic Marvel story (although the episode title screen is a re-imagined comic cover). Basic good guy vs. bad guy with main characters of Iron Man, Hulk, Surfer, Thor, Falcon, Wolverine, Reptil vs. Dr. Doom, Abomination and MODOK. A lot of esoteric guest characters and every character is given one obvious personality quirk. Again this is really for little kids but you'll laugh too.

The episodes are:
And Lo...A Pilot Shall Come!
This Silver, This Surfer!
Hulk Talk Smack!
To Err is Superhuman!
Enter: Dormammu!
A Brat Walks Among Us!
Oh Brother!

Also there's bonus...

Love Superheros
We purchased this for my 4 year old son, as he loved to watch it on TV. He runs around like a nut when he hears the theme song. My husband and I both actually like this show too. The only drawback about Superhero Squad is they use the word "hate" and we've tried to keep that word out of our son's vocabulary as long as possible. Otherwise, it is an excellent, entertaining show.

Not the complete season!
The show is hilarious and is a great "first" superhero cartoon for my son.
He has been singing the "Super Hero Squad" song and running around acting like the different characters.
However, this is not the entire season. There are only a few episodes and some commentary.
I was a little misled.

The Outside



The outsider
A different kind of surfer dude movies. Michael Graziadei. The young kid is trying to live up to his surfer Mother. Take a watch

great story
A super surf movie depicting the hazards of poorly chosen path of an extremely gifted surfer. A must see for people interested in surfing.

Worth watching for sure
I would love to suggest this movie. It's a great story and seem to be very much involved in the movie. Enjoy this one alone or with someone and you will get drawn in to Ned and his mother's story.

Chloe



Chloe: An interesting look at redemption
Atom Egoyan's new film Chloe tells a story that's been told many times before, the tale of the woman scorned. But the new perspective that Egoyan brings to the erotic thriller genre, that makes it more original and provocative than any film I've seen this year.

Julianne Moore's portrayal of the heroine, Catherine Stewart, is near perfect. Moore has really been at the top of her game lately. In A Single Man, she played a character that she also brought great depth to, despite having only about fifteen minutes of air-time. In Chloe, she plays an upper middle-class gynecologist, who has been married to David (Liam Neeson) for many years. She suspects that he's having an affair, after noticing his flirtacious banter with a waitress, and after missing a flight, and his surprise birthday party. And just like that, her long simmering suspicions rise to the surface.

Finding no answer other than infidelity, she hires an escort, played by Amanda Seyfried, in the title...

awesomely sexy
i thought it had a really good cast and that the dynamic between the characters was really good too. it was nice to see amanda seyfried doing a new kind of role and she did an excellent job at portraying "chloe". julianne moore is pretty much awesome in whatever she does and this was no different. liam neeson wasn't there for some of the shooting because of natasha richardson's skiing accident; but he managed to film all his scenes over a short period of time. i thought this movie was very good (including the storyline) and very sexy too. you aren't really sure what is going on (the truth) until near the end of the movie. the sex scenes are also very hot. i recommend at least giving it a chance and not to be fooled by the negative reviews.

Mistrust, like many doors, sees us sometimes walk through
A chance meeting sets some things into motion - one of those being the testing of a husband's faith. See, a married man misses a flight home, missing his surprise party in the process. This makes his wife wonder what he was up to, and a text with a picture of a young girl makes her wonder even more. solution: in the bathroom, on a night out, the wife meets a girl named Chloe. She seems nice enough and claims to be clean and that sets the wife's mind into motion. she decides to take Chloes and get her to tempt her husband. The problem is that she doesn't know Chloe or know anything about what she wants at all, making things turn out to be - complex and then some.

When I sat down to watch Chloe, I thought I had already seen a million movies like it. The cheating husband and the not-so-blind wife, the person hired to bring it all into focus, and then the drama. The problem was that this is not the story at all - it only seems to be.

I personally liked the cast to...

Wesley: A Heart Transformed Can Change the World



Wesley-One of the better Christian movies out there
Wesley is a drama based on the real life story of John Wesley, the founder of Methodism.

This movie feels like the type of film that should have been made for hundreds of millions of dollars by mainstream filmmakers-but wasn't.

That being said, Wesley is a GOOD Christian film. It may not have a huge budget, and some of the accents are a bit off, but it is a tighter film than some of the low-budget Christian films that manage to get a wide release. There is actually a strong emotional component to the film. It is simply a better film than any of the Left Behind movies, Fireproof, To Save a Life, etc. Burgess Jenkins does a good job in the titular role. Keith Harris gives rather heartwarming performance as the famous hymnist Charles. The supporting cast is usually strong, and the film actually has a lush quality to it.

And the DVD has some pretty entertaining special features to boot. It really makes me appreciate the work into making this superior...

Very Good Quality Christian Film - excellent for Methodists and Moravians alike
First off - a disclaimer - I saw this movie at a preview screening before the final cut was made. Several aspects of the film's quality leaped out at me. First, it is beautifully filmed. Second, the acting by all of the primaries is wonderful. Finally, as a bit of a Methodist historian myself (see my book "the Fruit of the Vine, a history of Methodism in the Southern Piedmont" on Amazon), I was very impressed with the historical accuracy of the film. Most Methodists and Moravians known little of Wesley's years in Georgia and the fact that they were, with the exception of his organizing a small "Methodist" meeting there, a complete failure.

The movie admirably portrays Wesley's awkwardness with women - a problem that plagued him throughout his life, as his later marriage was an utter disaster with a great deal of bitterness arising between him and his bride. The movie also recreates the very real desire in Wesley's life to seek a right relationship with God and to be...

Wesley, a mover and shaker then and now
I am coming from a different perspective then many of the viewers. In 2003, the 300th anniversary of John Wesley's birth, I went around Central and Northern Texas telling about the man, who influenced the world, then and now. His father was a Vicar in the Anglican church and his mother was noted as a non-conformist which was code for being a Puritan. John who was almost left in a burning when he was a child, had become to be known as a firebrand, (a person who is passionate about a particular cause, typically inciting change and taking radical action). He and his brothers had gone into the family business but it wasn't business as usual as John had a extraordinary event that changed him forever. He adopted many of the views of his mother and merged it with his theological training. Those two elements incited a life that eventually changed England. If it were not for John Wesley, England would have surely gone into civil war (not my views but historical chroniclers).
This amazing...

Jersey Shore: Season One (Uncensored)



what a rip-off...
okay basically, did you watch the show? that's whats on the DVD.
the only thing they dont censor is the limited amount of cursing
that wasnt edited out already. everything is blurred out. the
sound, picture quality (WHICH BTW IS ONLY AVAILABLE IN FULLSCREEN)
and anything else you would think a DVD might have as far as an
upgrade from watching it on cable/satellite is not on it.

oh im sorry, they have a lame special features disc and a handful
of deleted scenes. if youve seen this show already, dont buy it,
do not let them get any money from this. its too late for me however.
just dont make my mistake.

if i could give it a 0/0 i would.
DO NOT BUY THIS DVD

Show - Great; DVD - Terrible
Ok, this is not a critique of the show, which I absolutely loved. However, the DVD was of very poor quality. First, it is not "uncensored" like the ad suggests. The DVD presentation is identical to the TV show. Second, there are basically no special features other than some deleted scenes thrown in. Finally, the picture quality was very mediocre and below DVD (480p) standards. It seemed like a DVD put together by someone working from a home computer. All of the touches that accompany a quality DVD release are absent. Honestly, if you have already DVRed the episodes, then this is not worth buying.

Don't waste your money
Yeah the DVD does not prove to be uncensored as it is advertised. Jerry Springer was uncensored, Jersey Shore was just put a a DVD. Same stuff you see on TV you'll see on the DVD. If you're like most and want to see some extra stuff on the DVD then don't bother because it's not there. Just wait for the reruns
