Sons of Anarchy: Season Two (2009) Review

Sons of Anarchy...when I began to see the promos for season 1 I had mixed feelings: I have ridden motorcycles since I was about 15, and I have friends in clubs, so I know the "real deal" lifestyle -- my concern was that this had the potential to be a really great show but if the writing or acting wasn't up to speed it could fall on its face very quickly. All worries fell by the wayside as I became addicted from the very first episode. Kurt Sutter, who created Sons, spent some time around MCs to make sure the authenticity was up to speed. That in itself wouldn't make a good show; Sutter's talented writing and the phenomenal acting of the cast polish this gem to perfection! I immediately purchased Season One as soon as it became available to tide me over until Season Two began, and I was not disappointed when it did: The characters continue to grow, the plot lines are riveting, the action believable and the edge-of-your-seat-tension grows from episode to spisode! I care about these characters, about their lives, and what happens to them. In my opinion this is the finest show to ever make it to TV. And for all of us riders who have been bereft, waiting for something of the quality of "Then Came Bronson," wait no longer...the Sons have arrived as the best thing there is. Long live SAMCRO! And let's hope Sutter gets a bee in his bonnet to make a Sons movie, too! Would love to see the Reaper Crew flying in the wind up on the big screen!

Hang on for this high-octane thrill ride that goes even deeper into the gritty world of an outlaw biker gang! Reeling from the combined pressure of an ATF crackdown and an unprovoked murder, the Sons face a far more deadly threat from a cold-blooded enemy who will stop at nothing to drive them out of Charming—for good. As Jax and Clay square off over questions of leadership and loyalty, lines are drawn and chaos reigns as the club threatens to destroy itself—from the inside out.

Henry Rollins: Uncut from NYC (2006) Review

Once again, Henry Rollins doesn't just get in your face, but he's all over it. His never ending stream of contentiousness is captured for an evening once again for his 2006 DVD. HenRoll's got some great stories that I could listen to him tell over and over, just like you would for a good buddy recanting the war stories from the good old days.
A lot of these spoken word/talking shows seem interchangeable to me, where if you like one, you'll like the next -- and I do like them. Not as many bonus features as "Up for It" had; but ironically, there was a featurette of cut clips from the Uncut performance... wha? Oh well, stuff like that just happens sometimes.

The Henry Rollins Show: Season One (2006) Review

Rollins' show is a thoroughly engrossing mix of no-audience one-on-one interviews where the interviewer actually listens to his guests and holds a genuine discussion with them, along with sharp, no-holds-barred commentary pieces from Henry himself.
And then, there are great musical performances from artists you would rarely see on the usual late night talk shows, and it's the musical part where I give this DVD a huge star-off deduction. Pretty much every musical act does two numbers, but Rollins informs the viewers that the second number can only be viewed on the website. Sorry, I like to enjoy musical performances on my big-screen TV and multi-speaker audio system, not sitting in my office watching them on my computer, and it's mind-boggling--especially in light of Rollins being a musician himself--that this obvious extra of putting both songs on the DVD so fans could at least buy them and enjoy each artist's pair of songs together wasn't done. Instead, we get the straight show as it aired.
Great show; frustrating missed opportunity. How about it next season, guys? Either put both songs together in the show, put the second number after the credits or gather them all in a bonus features section, but please! And maybe even include the missed songs from this first season as extras as well so we can finally enjoy them in DVD quality...
