Playboy: Sexy Lingerie, Vol. 5 and 6 (2006) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Playboy Sexy Lingerie V & VI is one hour and forty-one minutes and was released on DVD on October 17, 2006. After the original Sexy Lingerie came out, the word lingerie seems to have gotten lost in translation. Volumes two through six show more nudity the lingerie. In volume 5, only in Vision in White and In The Mood and in volume six in the segments called Picture Perfect were the only three segments that had any lingerie in it at all. The rest of the clips the Playmates are topless or fully nude. Here are my comments on the following scenarios.
Volume V
Fashion Passion-More on nudity then there is lingerie
Heavenly Heat-From lingerie to being topless then nude
The Heist-Fully nude and wore very little, if any, lingerie
Video Vamps-Fully nude 95% of the time and the other 5% was lingerie
Writer's Block-From sexy dresses to sexy lingerie to nudity
Room Mates-Lingerie, topless and full nudity
Vision in White-White lingerie and topless
Legs-Leg lingerie and topless
The Wild Side-Some lingerie and some nudity
In The Mood-60% lingerie and 40% nudity
Night Life-Most of the time fully nude
Playmates that are feature are:
Samantha Dorman-Playboy Playmate of the Month for September 1991, featured in volume four
Debra Jo Fondren-Playmate of the Month for September 1977 & Playboy Playmate of the Year for 1978

Well Suited - First Julie Lynn Cialini and then Maria Checa are wearing men suits and are shown taken it off. The last 60% of the segment show the two ladies dancing together.

My biggest beef about this video is if you are going to call it Sexy Lingerie, then show the sexy lingerie or call the video something else. Only volume one lived up to its title and was the best of the Sexy Lingerie series. Playboy Sexy Lingerie V & VI deserves a B- for false labeling.

Lost: The Complete Fifth Season (Collector's Edition with Bonus Disc and DHARMA Luggage Tag) (2009) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It's the beginning of the end for "Lost" -- only one more season to go, and plenty of strange destined events yet to be explained.
And "Lost: The Complete Fifth Season" may be the best season of the show yet, with some unexpected glimpses back into the Island's history, mysterious people, and more explorations of the mysterious Jacob. It feels like the entire season is packed with strange twists and unexpected turns, complete with a trip back in time that illuminates everything that has come before it.
Jack joins forces with his former enemy Ben, trying to bring the Oceanic Six back together and get them back to the Island. But Charles Widmore has been sending assassins to kill Hurley and Sayid, and someone is sniffing around Kate's relationship to Aaron. Their only hope of getting back to the Island is to follow the instructions of Eloise Hawking, a woman who has intricate knowledge of time and space -- and the Island.
Meanwhile, the Island is randomly leaping through time, flinging Sawyer, Juliet, Daniel, Charlotte and all the others from one time period to another. And when the Oceanic Six (minus a few) arrive on the Island again, they find that it is now 1977 -- Sawyer, Juliet and their friends have all been living there for the past three years, as part of the Dharma Initiative. Sun and Ben end up in the hands of the remaining Others -- along with a supposedly dead man now returned to life.
But as the fateful Incident approaches, Jack and Co. end up having their plans unravel around them, and a bunch of gun-toting Dharma people out for their blood. With the help of Daniel Faraday and his mysterious journal, the splintered little group sets out to somehow reset everything that has happened on the Island -- even as Ben and the Others approach an ancient monument, where the Island's fate will be changed forever.
There's a sense of melancholy in the fifth season of "Lost." Okay, it's never been a cheerful show, but it's clear that many of the plot threads are being wound together, and the characters that are killed have wrenchingly tragic send-offs. What's more, this short season reveals a whole lot more about the Island than we ever knew before -- the stone foot, the Incident, Eloise Hawking's knowledge about time, and the Island's mysterious ruler Jacob.
And it's packed solid with plot, full of twists, gory action, flashbacks, flashforwards, and a sense of supernatural suspense. The first half of the season is all about the Six slowly being drawn back to the Island (almost against their will, really) while the second is about the disasters that ensue because of their presence, and the fight against the inevitability of time. It's just a big thick rope of plot twists that tightens itself as it approaches the explosive finale.
Fortunately this season is also graced with exceptionally good dialogue, and some funny moments often supplied by the ever-lovable Hurley (example: writing down the "Empire Strikes Back" script from memory). And it evolves into straight-out science fiction after sort of flirting with it for the past few seasons.
Matthew Fox does a pretty good job as the increasingly irrational, obsessed Jack, but he's overshadowed by Josh Holloway. Holloway is pretty darn brilliant as the new alpha male in the jungle who suddenly has his peaceful domain disrupted. Michael Emerson is also excellent as the vaguely creepy Ben, whose frustrations and anger start boiling over as he tries to somehow fix whatever has gone wrong, only to make a terrible mistake.
Actually, most of the cast does an excellent job: Naveen Andrews, Elizabeth Mitchell (especially in the finale), the dry-witted Ken Leung, Jeremy Davies, Yunjin Kim, Daniel Dae Kim, and the ever-awesome Jorge Garcia. There are also some other incredible actors who become pretty prominent here, including François Chau, Zuleikha Robinson, the ageless Nestor Carbonell, and the mysterious Fionnula Flanagan.
And Mark Pellegrino is introduced as the mysterious Jacob, whose identity, nature and goals are all murky. You're left wondering who this guy is, and if we'll see him again.
"Lost: The Complete Fifth Season" is a tightly-written, intensely-plotted stream of bittersweet sci-fi, and it leaves you hungry for whatever is next. Only one more season yet to go.

Playboy - California Girls (2000) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Playboy comes out with a new video called California Girls. It has Suzanne Stokes (POM 02/00) on the Cover. Sounds like a pretty hot video, with fresh new faces right? Not really. Suzanne's segment lasted one minute and forty-five seconds. That's it! I timed it. The scene shows Suzanne in various skimpy bikini's, and every once in a while the camera pans past her and she isn't wearing the bikini. Before you know it, the scene is over.
Playboy defines this video on the back of the cover as a collection of playboy's greatest California scenes from the past. There's no new stuff here. Ninety percent of the video consists of segments from previous videos. Maybe it's 100%, and I just haven't seen all the scenes before. Some of the scenes date back to the late 1980s and early 1990s. As you can imagine, this results in very poor and grainy DVD quality for these segments.
There are scenes from more recent videos, such as Playboy's Pajama Party. The scene of the girls lying around the pool from the Pajama Party is included on this video. Nice segment, but I already have it. Also included in this video, are various scenes from the Wet and Wild videos. Once again, some of them are nice, but it's old stuff. The only thing new in the video, as far as I can tell, is Suzanne's short appearance and a four or five minute scene featuring Summer Altice. Summer's segment shows her running and posing on the beach in and out of a bikini. This was probably the highlight of the video because it was new, or should I say, it's new to me. This segment will probably appear in the 2002 Playmate Calendar.
Overall, not much if anything is new here. If you are a collector, you should probably pass. If your new to Playboy video's, you can get a decent assortment of scenes with beautiful naked women.

Without a Trace - Season One (2002) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Without a Trace focuses on the Missing Persons Unit of the FBI in New York City. This group of five headed by Jack Malone (Anthony Lapaglia) must find out who the missing person was to find out where they might be. They work backwards in time and forward in a race to find the missing person before 48 hours are up. Because after 48 hours chances of finding them alive are very slim.
This show is without a doubt one of the best on TV. I happened to stumble upon the reruns and was watching because I thought Anthony Lapaglia looked familiar. Of course I was thinking of Simon Moon from Frasier. By the time I could get my husband to confirm my suspicions I was hooked on this show. It is so well written and filmed that you can't watch and not become addicted.
The cast of this show is great. These five actors will make you forget your watching TV and make you believe your part of the team trying to solve the case. The writing is wonderful. In addition the way the show is filmed will leave you wanting more. I just can't say enough about this show. It has been awhile since I've been so excited about a TV show.
This DVD package is so great. The quality is excellent. And the extras are very entertaining. You go behind the scenes to learn how the show was developed and how the cast was picked. Then you can learn how the sets were made and discover that they actually have an ex-FBI man as an advisor to make the show look and feel real. This is just great. This shows the interest and pride the producers take in the show to go to the length of having an advisor help in making it real. I think this has a great deal to do with why the show is such a success and seems real.
This DVD is a must have for any fan of Without a Trace. It will provide some of the most entertaining hours on TV.

The Gokusen - Class 1 - The Unteachables (Premium Box With Jacket) (2004) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great little feel good show. It sets out to tell the story of a Yakuza heiress who becomes a High School teacher and it does just that, no more or less. It's not particularly flashy or creative but succeeds in telling a straightforward simple story. The character types are familiar but not at all boring and they're instantly likeable. Especially our lead character Kumiko Yamaguchi, otherwise called "Yankumi" by her students. Fitting of a Yakuza heiress, Kumiko is a kick butt badass who will sacrifice anything for her students. The animation is very nice for a thirteen episode series, surprisingly better than I expected. If you want to watch something light and short to kill some time you should try out The Gokusen.
The set comes with a neat red jacket similar to Kumiko's with the words "The Gokusen" printed on it. There's a slight glitch on the first dvd, at one point the subtitle timing is completely off but it corrects itself quickly. Overall not a bad buy.

Scooby-Doo: The Mystery Begins (with Ty Scooby Doo Plush) (2009) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First, I want everyone to know that I love the first two Scooby-Doo live action films. I thought the casting was done well, the stories were fine, and they looked good. I thought the second one was a little cooler because it had a lot of the "monsters" from the original Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? series coming to life.
With that being said, I was a little concerned with this third entry in the series. Usually a movie with this many red flags spells absolute disaster and almost guarantees a turd of a film. Let's spell out the red flags: its direct-to-DVD, it's a prequel, it's totally recast, and it's got a new director. Wow. That's a lot to have going against a movie. Interestingly enough, it didn't prove to be true for this flick.
Scooby-Doo: The Mystery Begins somehow rises up above the crowded direct-to-DVD sequel / prequel cesspool and actually is successful at being entertaining and not completely cheap-looking. You can tell that director Brian Levant really wanted to escape the stereotype that these types of movies get and show that he was serious about the subject matter and franchise. Warner definitely played it smart with Levant, being that he is responsible for bringing to the big screen some very successful family movies and iconic animated TV shows like Beethoven, The Flintstones feature films, Jingle All The Way, and Are We There Yet?
The casting was done pretty well. All the actors fit the parts, although not without a few minor problems. Robbie Arnell would have completely been convincing in the part of Fred, except that for some reason he wasn't made to bleach his hair blond for the film. What was the reasoning behind that? I mean, he did take the part of an iconic blond character. The least he could have done is bleach his hair out to put the finishing touches on the role. My only other problem was with Nick Palatas' performance as Shaggy. He was really good and definitely looked the part. It just seemed like he was going a little overboard with the cracking squeaky voice sometimes. It seemed a little forced at times. I thought it was cool that they kept Frank Welker as the voice of Scooby-Doo, as he has been doing the character for the past seven years in different series and movies.
Even the special effects were done well. The ghosts all looked just as good as any of the ones in the two movies they released in the theaters. I have to say, though, that there were scenes of the Scooby gang that were missing Scooby-Doo that felt kind of awkward. It almost seemed like they cut him out of the scenes to save money on their CGI budget. There were some parts with Scooby that looked a little less than stellar and where it looked like the actor in the shot with him was having trouble interacting with an invisible dog. They were all minor problems, though. It shouldn't take away from your viewing pleasure.
Overall, I have to say that I was pretty impressed with this movie. It was kind of fun to see the gang paint The Mystery Machine, meet each other, and solve their first crime together. If you're a Scooby-Doo fan, I'm pretty sure this movie will live up to your standards.

What brings best friends together? For Daphne, Velma, Fred, Shaggy and Shaggy's spunky pup Scooby-Doo, it's a mystery! The feature-length live-action "Scooby-Doo! The Mystery Begins" original movie takes you back to when four teenage sleuths (plus one dog detective) first met. Unjustly accused of staging a spooky practical joke complete with ghosts, the kids are suspended from Coolsville High. To clear their names, they team to solve the supernatural mystery....and head straight into nonstop laughs and adventures. Special fun, special friends and extra-special effects make this "how-it-all-began" story - from boy-meets-dog to the first trip in the Mystery Machine and more - a doggone great time.

Escaflowne - The Series (Limited Edition Boxed Set) (2000) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Do I really need to ring Escaflowne's praises for you? Most everyone who is into anime has already seen this series but for those of you who are not but may have seen and like movies like Princess Mononoke this is the series to pick up. It is by far the most accessible of any anime series I have seen and is perfect for a budding anime guru. In fact this is the very series I will show to my friends who have yet to see any anime they think is worth watching.
Visually, Escaflowne is pretty remarkable for a TV series that shows obvious signs of extremely high production values. The story may not be the most intricate in the world of anime but it more than suffices. What is most impressive about Escaflowne is the characters. Van and Hitomi are some of my favorite characters ever and are both completely believable in their respective places; Hitomi as the fish out of water teenager and Van as the young kind thirsting for revenge. I also enjoyed many of the supporting characters such as Dilandu and Folken; even the bad guys were given a proper history and motivations rather than simple blind obedience to whatever evil scheme might be in style. In fact evil itself is somewhat grayed as no character is truly evil, only misguided doing what they believe is right and just.
I would recommend Escaflowne to anyone and everyone; it is a series that can have appeal to the very young and old alike. Truly masterful work.
Note that anyone who has seen this series on Fox Kids has been watching a kiddied down version of a show that wasn't really meant for children to begin with. Don't let that Escaflowne-lite ruin your opinion of the show.

An Evening With Lena Horne (2006) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a classic performacne by a classy lady. Her voice sounds only slightly older than it did in her one woman show The Lady and Her Music. However in terms of viewing pleasure one might prefer to listen to the CD of the same title as viewing this video may not be as exciting to watch as her one woman show. But the description of this DVD says it was her last performance. Not true. She was doing some kind of live performance in 1996, as it says 'Rehersal 1996' on her PBS Biography "In Her Own Voice". Also she did appear on the Rosie O'Donnell show in 1998 to promote her Being Myself album. And I read on the internet that she did a brief show for J&R music in New York for BET to promote that album. So this DVD may be her last recorded performance, but it wasn't her last. However Lena fans should still enjoy this video. Too bad she doesn't have more videos done in the 1980's and 1990's. I did read that she did a concert in 1989 on PBS, perhaps to promote her "The Men In My Life album", released in 1988. Maybe that can be put on DVD. Hopefully The Lady and Her Music will oneday come to DVD.

Two days after her two triumphant sold-out Carnegie Hall concerts, Lena Horne took the same show into New York City's Supper Club to be videotaped for a special on the Arts & Entertainment Network.Her quintet with Donald Harrison, Mike Renzi & Rodney Jones was augmented by the Count Basie Orchestra for four songs. Ms. Horne was in great spirits and brilliant form and this show turned out to be her last public performance.After one more studio album a year later, Lena Horne made good on her pledge to retire.Like everything else she did, she left in style with this stunning 72 minute performance.

Inside Creedence Clearwater Revival (2005) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Because if I ever hear of one that's out on DVD, I will be the first one to buy it. Frankly, I don't get it. I know people filmed them, and I know that people can remaster image and sound. I know that The Band, Crosby, Stills, and Nash, and even Hendrix has an access of footage that exists. If anyone is holding back on us fans, please cease. Anyway, this DVD is not as essential as you might think (well, the CREAM DVD is, it is full of nice info. and hilarious interviews), but that doesn't mean that you shouldn't buy it if you are a true fan. A musician here shows you how to strum and fingerpick a couple of Creedence tunes, although this is not a tuturial. I just wish the other band members, including its author John Fogerty, would've allowed themselves to be interviewed. Plus, I know there is studio footage somewhere. But in the meantime, just enjoy this "inside" look--it is a good film and it's nice to see Stu Cook today, but don't expect a great archive of unseen material and in-depth liner note-style comments. The film is more like an appreciation of them--but how can they help it? It is very difficult to slam a group that played this well and wrote so many wonderful and timeless songs.

Playboy Exposed: Party Girls (2006) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I like a lot of the Playboy Exposed DVDs because they're like a sexy reality TV show. To me, a lot of the regular Playboy DVDs are over-produced, so stylized and artsy that they're not realistic any more. Maybe some people like that. But in these 2 DVDs, the girls are mostly just acting normal, with cameras following them around. For the most part, people in them seem to be having a lot of fun too. The main problem with the Playboy Exposed series is that the camerawork and editing are sometimes shoddy. Lighting is sometimes not great either. These 2 DVDs generally have mediocre production values, but "Bachelorette Party" is worse about that, where at times the camera is very shaky and wandering at random. Why didn't they edit more of that out? But dang, there sure are a bunch of sexy girls on there! They're shown at a car wash (in wet t-shirts and flashing), at a clothing store, then at home lying by the pool and stripping for each other inside. It's a plus that the sound is usually live rather than some music track.
"Confessions of a Party Girl" is better filmed and edited, but has less variety since the whole thing is set at a party. Again, it's got very sexy girls in it, with the party scenes of people dancing having a music track, while rooms outside the party, or outside by the pool, usually have live sound. If you like realistic situations as I do, some of the best scenes on here, and indeed on both of these, are when several of the girls are just hanging around nude chatting with each other or doing silly things. They're acting like everything is normal, and I'm going *drool*drool*drool* Another major difference between them is that Bachelorette has only girls in it, while Confessions has several guys added, though they're much de-emphasized.
There's a lot of nudity on both of these, sometimes total and sometimes topless or bottomless. However, there's really no explicit sexual activity on either one. The picture on both is 1.33:1. I hesitated to give these 4 stars because of the rather low production values, and really Bachelorette deserves a 3 because of that, but still I think they're quite hot and worth the money, especially if you can get them discounted.

Up - Limited Edition Luxo Jr. Collectible Lamp Pack (2009) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I had no expectations of being disappointed with a Disney/Pixar BD, and being that it took me a whole dedicated day to get through everything, I now feel it was worth every penny. The film was enjoyable, funny, sad, and scary filled with some nice messages about life and loss. I can understand why the majority of my customers loved it.
The Blu clarity is outstanding, and the amount of reference points are extensive, but one that stands out the most for contrast lines would have to be when the house is entering the lair (balloons against the dark cavern). The sound is selectable between 5.1 DTS, 2.0 DTS and Descriptive English. The 5.1 was beautiful with tons of reference points, sometimes excruciating (that bird screeching) but thorough nonetheless. Now for the supplements (all times in minutes):
DISC 1: (BD)
* 5:46 Partly Cloudy short film. Was hilarious. A great depth test for your display with the clouds. Nice little message of tolerance no matter how difficult someone might be.
* 4:40 Dug's Mission. An almost lo-def looking short take on our main dog dealing with the main three baddies on a chase.
* 22:17 Adventure Out There. A must see documentary about the crew taking the actual trip to the Tepui location in South America. A beautiful travel infomercial in itself. Loved how their guide only wore sandles for the ascent and hikes.
* 4:56 Alternate Scenes Ending of Muntz. Sketches and interviews regarding different endings for that bad guy that they had come up with.
* 1:00 How-to on using the Digital Copy.
* Cine Explore option while watching the film. The two directors give their commentary with multiple pop-up screens showing art, ideas, etc.
* Screen Saver. Allows you to set a time period for your screen saver to activate.
* Maximize Your Home Theater. The standard Pixar multi-step process for setting all of your theater capabilities.
DISC 2: (BD)
Documentaries
* 6:24 Geriatric Hero. History behind the creation of our old guy. All of these documentaries are interview oriented with sketches and film clips to supplement.
* 8:26 Canine Companions. In depth analysis on the breed choices, training and dog behavior studied to get the dogs in the film to be more - dog like.
* 9:00 Russel Wild Explorer. Covers the reasons for his character to have the loss and why he was "egg" shaped as opposed to other sketch ideas.
* 5:04 Kevin (bird). Nice reference to the Swiss Family Robinson ostrich; covered the hardest part of any of these animation films - the feathers.
* 4:38 Homemakers Pixar. Enjoyed the work that went into them studying sub-floors and lighting options in making this look so real in the house.
* 6:25 Balloons and Flight. Tells the now famous number of balloons used; some interesting dirigible history; shows the Pixar group using that local Bay Area air service I keep seeing fly around here (research stuff).
* 7:37 Composing for Characters. Have to be into the musical/scoring stuff for this one.
Extras
* Global Guardian Badge Game. After the initial setup of name, difficulty levels and tutorial material, the game has an extensive amount of country/geography material. Customers grouped around and we did fine for the United States section, but we randomly tried Africa and we bombed (some of the countries they were asking for I hadn't heard of in years) - good learning tool though.
* 9:15 Alternate Scene - Married Life. Another sketch/interview piece about more material being removed/added into that section of the film. The scene itself would have been only a minute longer.
* 6:00 montage. A mix of characters doing funny things - will make the kids laugh.
* Screen Saver option.
DISC 3 (DVD)
* Film, plus special features from disc 1. WITH THE EXCEPTION of no Spanish subtitles/language; English only.
DISC 4 (Digital Copy).
* Code both unlocks the copy and gets you the usual points at the Disney site.
Overall, an excellent product no matter how you look at it. The case has that new single hinge, multi-page off center chassis that has proven to be less than durable, but it should suffice for low usage storage. Enjoy.

Trailer Park Boys: Countdown to Liquor Day (2009) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It's hard to say bad things about the boys in Canada's beloved pseudo-reality TV series, which ran 7 seasons, not counting the one-off "Say Goodnight to the Bad Guys" episode, which preceded this movie chronologically and plot-wise. There was also an Ivan Reitman-produced Trailer Park Boys Movie in 2008 (which didn't quite live up to the madness of the TV episodes).
Ricky, Julian, and Bubbles get out of prison and attempt once again, to stay out of prison. To their dismay, times have changed, and Sunnyvale has pretty much been abandoned. Bubbles's kitties are missing, and Lahey is now really off the bottle, swindling his ex-wife Barb out of property and using that deal to create the Lahey Luxury Estates. Unfortunately, the new property's main sewer runs underneath Julian's old trailer, so Lahey now has to plot to obtain Julian's land to complete his new utopia.
How is this movie different from the other brilliant Trailer Park Boys TV installments? Sarah Byrne, who was responsible for on-the-fly editing style, creating the comic timing of the earlier TV episode returns here. Blain Morris, who composed for the iconic TV theme, scores an understated soundtrack, inserting vintage country and western pieces when necessary, creating some gorgeous vistas alongside Ted McInnes cinematography. Rob Well's Ricky actually shines in some of his more serious - albeit deadpan - moments. The "battery charger advice scene" had me laughing out loud, rolling on the floor in it's sobriety: you can't jump start a dead car battery by hooking it up to your own dead battery! And the "No.1" Car Chase Scene of all time is worth the price of ticket admission alone, as the characters duel it out with a urinary swordfight in a high speed chase through downtown Halifax, Nova Scotia.
I think Countdown to Liquor Day is a Love Letter to all TPB fans. It shows that the boys are symbolically forced to "return" to something that is no longer there anymore. The sense of wonder and enchantment with the real trailers in the backdrop when the camera used to follow Bubbles in his go-cart, has now been replaced by repetitive pre-fab trailers with no distinction from one to another. Mike Smith's own Bubbles seems more like a forced caricature of Bubbles than the fresh, innocent, kitty-loving compassionate, pacific guy who won our hearts over in the film short "The Cart Boy" that started it all, some ten years ago. The other guys - J-Roc, T, Julian, seems growingly impatient with the impending typecast of their roles. The comedy in the earlier versions comes from a certain innocence of the boys thinking they will succeed, even when we know they can't. "Countdown" has a darker, more pessimistic tone: the boys seem to realize they are more apt to fail, and along with that comes a meaner, angrier streak. Where they use to look out for each other in the tight-knit trailer park community, the ethos seems to lean more towards "looking out for No.1." Phrases like "I'm not sure what success is, but I'm pretty sure it's not this," "I'm not feeling it anymore" may be read a number of ways. The boys pleading the film crew to stop filming them in the future is another Easter Egg in plain sight.
Sam "Caveman" Losco, Jacob and the Mustard Tiger, the original TV-Cyrus, and George Green, Barrie Dunn all appear, but only briefly in the backdrop. The comic duo of Trevor and Cory is long gone. Lucy, Sarah, and Trinity appear merely by duty, almost like former popular classmates showing up a for a class reunion. Even the front lawn bee with the spinning wings gets a bow out. Brian Vollmer of Helix and Alex Lifeson of Rush also make guests cameos. And of course, the two Chrysler New Yorkers almost disintegrated as a mile-marker of the evolution of TPB.
The movie is called Countdown to Liquor Day, so naturally the focus is on Jim Lahey and his lover Randy. Though John Dunsworth has pretty much exhausted every possible improvisation of FUBAR drunkenness in all previous episodes and outtakes, he carries the movie when scenes tend - as Clattenburg commented in the first TV season - to walk the tight rope between comedy and drama, and come dangerously close to toppling onto the serious side. Pat Roach is his able male lover, bickering with and nagging Jim in a domestic tale of a same sex couple.
Some of the whackiness of the earlier days are, as always, hidden in the "Deleted Scenes" section; Ricky tricking policemen into arresting innocent hunters during a liquor store holdup is a signature move, Ricky demanding from the film crew just what it is they are filming, Cyrus pulling his gun out during an academic test. There's also IMHO, a superior alternate ending that brings the focus back to Lahey and ends "Countdown" on a positive note, sending a morse code to fans like Seinfeld's final episode. There's a fun, alternate commentary track featuring the three familiar folks at the fansite trailer park boys org: Fishy Neil, Shake, and Tiggy.
The boys and creator Mike Clattenburg is in the process of creating a new show entitled "The Drunk and on Drugs Happy Funtime Hour" scheduled to air later this year. I look forward to new and great things from this troupe. My friend and I drove 1000 miles to Halifax for the premier of this movie, too poor for hotels and as a homage to Ricky...we slept in the car.

NTSC/Region 1. Subtitled: Countdown To Liquor Day. Ricky, Julian and Bubbles are about to get out of jail, and this time, Julian vows to go straight, even open a legit business. Soon, the boys will all be rich. At least that's what they've told the parole board. But when they arrive back at the park, they find it's not the same old Sunnyvale - and it's not the same old Jim Lahey, Trailer Park Supervisor. Lahey's a new man, hasn't had a drink for two years. And he has plans - BIG PLANS - for Sunnyvale. But unfortunately for Lahey, Julian stands in his way. With his big plans for Sunnyvale going down the toilet, his relationship with Randy broken down, and having the Boys back in the park is all way too much pressure for him to bear. For Jim Lahey, the countdown to liquor day is on. Meanwhile, Julian's having problems of his own and the Boys are forced to resort to doing what they know best - breaking the law. Universal. 2009.

Andres Lopez: Me Pido La Ventana (2007) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If I was stranded on a desert island and could pick only two DVD's to keep my going through the hard times...these would be the DVD's!!!!
I find it hard to believe that with today's technology, people find it difficult to watch a DVD in Zone 4. Refer to your DVD player's user manual to select the Zone or go online and see what information you can use.
Being married to a Colombian woman and to be from North America, Andres comedy transcends generations and cultures. His comedy covers all aspects of life, love, and family and it doesn't matter where you are from, what your nationality may be or which generation you are, Andres captures not only the Colombian people but the global population with perfection!
Colombians...you should be very proud of Andres, your country, and your people!!!
