Windsor Castle - A Royal Year (2006) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is an inside look at the inner workings of Windsor Castle that most folks don't get to see. Planning a royal party is like planning a battle. Everything has to be exact and perfect. The dining table is so long that a man has to walk on the table with special shoes just so he can light the candles. After these grand dinner parties, the queen ensures that the floral arrangements are delivered to different charities. You can see and hear from the people that have to run this huge palace. Also shown are some rooms that are not open to the general public. You can even see the cast of Les Misarables move their show to the house of Windsor for a special performance. You know you're rich when all you have to do is snap your fingers and bring a whole musical to your home. There's a lot of great info here. Even the man that changes the flags makes an appearance. He's the guy that changes the flag as soon as the queen leaves or comes back home. If you are interested in the royals, this dvd is for you. It's full of wonderful factoids. It's also great for the kids.

The Mentalist: The Complete Second Season (2009) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Mentalist is back and better than ever with 22 new episodes of innovative and manipulative crime-solving techniques. Season two starts off with a bang and keeps on delivering. There are lots twist and turns as Patrick Jane (Simon Baker) manipulates everyone and everything around him to uncover the truth behind the murders.
The story lines are better than ever and manage to develop the background, personalities, and lives of the main characters. We get insight into the childhood issues that drive both Jane and Cho. We get pulled in deeper as we watch the relationships between the characters grow and develop. The chemistry between Jane and Lisbon (Robin Tunney) continues to grow and the energy between them is electric.
This is the one show on TV where there is so much misdirection and redirection that guessing the ending isn't probable, even when all the info is sitting right in front of you.
If you're looking for excellent performances, spectacular writing, and a show where you can't predict what's coming next then this is definitely a show you want to watch.

California Bureau of Investigation consultant Patrick Jane (Simon Baker in his Emmy-nominated role) has a blatant lack of protocol but is self-assured and driven. The former \'psychic" uses his talent for seeing the clues everyone else misses to solve the most baffling crimes. But there\'s more than crime that makes this season a must-see: Lisbon and Cho reveal hints about their troubled pasts. Violence fells one CBI boss, and the new boss seems more interested in authority than teamwork. And as the Van Pelt-Rigsby relationship heats up, it threatens to cool down their careers. Match wits with the hit series that balances nimble humor with dark thrills.
