I love the Naked Brothers Band. I so wish people would quit making fun of them and trashing them because they are SO AWESOME for their age. I recommend this movie to anyone. Boys can learn how to impress girls. And girls can dream about hotties Nat and Alex. I love the movie. I love the series. I say forget about the haters, WATCH THE MOVIE!!!! It is my favorite movie ever!!!!!!!!

The Naked Brothers Band is a mockumentary that follows a world-famous kids' rock band as they struggle with superstardom, love, friendship, a band break up, and adolescence. It stars two real-life brothers, Nat and Alex Wolff, and is inspired by the real-life band they started in pre-school. The cameras follow Nat and Alex through their concerts, their rehearsals, and their private lives as they deal with the growing pains of having friends, having a band and having your friends in your band.
This package DOES NOT include the bonus CD. It was discontinued by the studio.

American Idol - The Search For A Superstar (2002) Review

Okay, it doesn't seem like anyone who has actually seen the DVD has reviewed it here yet, so I thought that I'd be the first.
What it contains: A one hour synopsis of the show, starting with a seven minute recap of the audition process that was already aired as part of the finale (and unfortunately, without much footage of the final 30 being narrowed down to 10). Then comes a summary of each night of performances, each one ending with the elimination and the goodbye video for the eliminated person. Only a few performances are shown, but at least they're shown in full. They are:
Ryan Starr - "If You Really Love Me",
Justin Guarini - "For Once in My Life", "Let's Stay Together" and "A Moment Like This"
Kelly Clarkson - "Natural Woman", "Without You" (the good one from the results show), "Before Your Love" and "A Moment Like This" (from right after she won)
Christina Christian - "Ain't No Sunshine"
Tamyra Gray - "A House is Not a Home"
Nikki McKibbon - "Mary Jane" and "Black Velvet"
Group Sings - "California Dreamin", "Joy to the World" and "That's What Friends are For"
So there are some curious omissions, such as a performance by RJ Helton (who finished 5th, higher than Christina and Ryan) and Kelly's "Stuff Like That There" from Big Band night which was arguably the audience's favorite performance from the entire show. Also, the audio quality for some of the performances is poor in that it's lower than it should be. But overall, the main section of the DVD is great to have even if you taped the shows, since the visual quality is so much better.
The extras, which I won't descibe here due to space, are the best part of the DVD, especially the "Uncensored" blooper reel and the look back at the auditioning experiences of the Final Ten (which contains great interviews and some previously unseen footage, but unfortunately lacks any clips of actual auditioning). They're also almost as long as the main feature of the DVD itself, so they really double the content of the DVD.
A warning to Justin fans: This edition of the DVD does not contain the bonus disc, which has "A Day in the Life of Justin", a 16 minute feature that includes some really great footage (some filmed by Justin himself) of the preparation for the 80's/90's show with the final four.

Jon and Kate Plus Ei8ht: Season Four, Volume One- The Wedding (2008) Review

Jon and Kate Plus Ei8ht: Season Four, Volume One- The Wedding (2008)
Average Reviews:

I really enjoyed the first 2 seasons of this show. Even though Kate would nag sometimes, it seemed like the family had lots of fun and loved each other. By Season 4, the show just seemed so staged. The kids seemed less happy, Kate was always putting Jon down. It is all about free trips and luxry. Just 1 year before we watched the family struggle on long road trips and it was a learning experience. Suddenly it is all limos and handlers for the kids. I watched season 4 to see what happens, but I sure would not want to watch it a second time. The first 2 seasons are fun to look back on andI feel are very re-watchable. Season 4 I feel is not and I feel is not worth the money. I wish they had stopped while they were still likeable.

The Gosselins grow another year older, which means that they can handle more fun than they have before! And it s a good thing because for the Gosselins, it's a monumental year. Not only do they plan for the biggest vacation of their lives, but they also begin making plans to relocate their family to another state and build a home that can finally accommodate their 8 growing kids. But first they must get through the sextuplets fourth birthday, the twins 8th birthday, second grade, and the beginning of pre-school for the sextuplets! Jon and Kate continue to amaze themselves and everyone else by accomplishing things no one ever thought possible with 2 sets of multiples.

American Idol - The Best of Seasons 1 - 4 (2005) Review

American Idol - The Best of Seasons 1 - 4 (2005)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This DVD is good yet disappointing at the same time. This should have been nothing but the best of the best performances. Simply put, there are not enough of them here. Those that are included are true showstoppers, especially those by Clay and Bo, but too many have been left out including Clay's amazing rendition of Neil Sedaka's "Solitaire" which prompted the singer/songwriter Sedaka to say he would love to write and produce Clay's first CD. There are other omissions on this DVD from other finalists but the most serious and blatantly obvious omission is Tamyra Gray's beautiful, moving and haunting performance of "A House Is Not A Home." I'd like to know who the idiot is who chose not to put this on the DVD. I'll never forget a tearful Paula Abdul giving a standing ovation for that one. Did the people who put this DVD together not realize we would like to see more of the actual musical performances. I would have liked to see not only more of the performances by talents such as Clay, Kelly and Bo, but some of the other talented finalists as well including Kimberly Locke and George Huff. At least they were smart enough to put LaToya's amazing "Don't Rain On My Parade" in this collection. But, there should have been so much more. This DVD is a must for American Idol fans but it could have been so much better. That is my biggest complaint: There should have been many more performances and less of the forgettable nonsense.

Stargate Universe SG-U: 1.0 (2009) Review

Stargate Universe SG-U: 1.0 (2009)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is only HALF of the first season. The title of this item says "Stargate SG-U: Season One (2009)" But later down in the Editorial review it states that it's a three disc set that will include 10 episodes from Season 1.
Season 1 will have 20 episodes in it and this DVD set is set for release in Feb 2010, before all 20 episodes of the first season have even aired on TV.
Please let them know you want full seasons and not half seasons on DVD by not purchasing this.
I cant really write a review of season one yet because it's not done airing but from what little we've seen so far it looks promising. I'm looking forward to the rest of the season and hopefully the entire season on one reasonably priced dvd set.
This halfseason release is an insult to Stargate fans
Post Season 1 Edit: Looks like they listened to angry fans, or who knows maybe it was their plan all along, but they released the entire season on DVD and it's available for less than $40 here on Amazon.

If MTV was smart, and they used to be, along with funny, relevant, and entertaining (they even played music videos all the time!) It was on all day in my house, and you could always count on the VJs passing along some wacky facts, or artists dropping by who could actually speak coherently. Anyway, MTV could make their massive video catalog available to the public. You could browse online and choose the videos you wanted, pay $2-$3 each and MTV would either create a custom DVD for you and send it out, or you could download them and make your own DVDs. I would gladly pay to have several DVDs that contained only the videos I wanted. And there are about 100 I want, just off the top of my head.
As it is, I am happy to watch my old and fading copies made back then and occasionally catch an old great on VH1 Classic, rather than have someone else pick out 10 videos, 4 of which I may want, the rest I don't. This one did nothing for me. Luckily it was a gift. I never would've bought it for myself.
