Wings: Evolution of Air Power (2002) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I would have given it five stars, but the special "Wings Over Afghanistan" did not feature the aircraft, but merely mentioned jets in the context of Afghanistan missions. I would have liked to hear more about all of the various aircraft used in Afghanistan as well as see them in flight.
The special on the Thunderbirds was spot-on, delivering an in-depth look at maneuvers and training of the Air Force Thunderbirds. I'm not sure what I expected the third special to be, but it would be an excellent introduction to someone not familiar with powered flight and "heavier-than-air" flying machines.
For a short time I worked on F-15 Avionics and was afforded much exposure to various flightcraft. My brother just recently finished 6 years of being a crew chief for C-5s, the largest transport plane currently in use, and my grandfather was a mechanic on P-38 Lightnings during WW2.
I would recommend this set for the look at the Thunderbirds, and the mild education on flight physics, but I would suggest you keep looking if attack aircraft interest you.

Knit and Crochet Today: Series 200-B (2008) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great purchase. We don't get this program where I'm from and it's a joy to be able to learn from these discs. It's packed full of ideas and with a pattern disk to boot. The interviews are amazing. I've gotten as much out of the knitting and crocheting in the DVD as I have out of the interviews. They are worth the price of the DVD. I've pre-ordered the 200-A and hope they'll put out the 1st and subsequent seasons so I can buy them as well.

Tekwar (2008) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have been looking forward to this series for a while. Only one rant, where are the first 4 episodes. No Pilot, Tek Lab, Tek Lord or Tek Justice. How can it be a complete series without these.
It kind of pisses me off

The Girls Next Door - Season 2 (2005) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)By now the world knows these three beautiful women by name: Holly, Bridget, and Kendra are no longer described simply as "Hef's Girlfriends" (although they are...all 3 of them). Thanks to the E channels hit reality show the Girls Next Door, people are able to get to know these women, and take a quick glimpse into the amazing lives that they lead at the Playboy Mansion.
Holly is girlfriend #1 -- she sleeps with Hef in "their" bedroom, has been dating Hef for the longest (going on 6 years now!), and in general maintains the status of Lady of the House. She's a real sweetheart, and while she dreams to someday be able to marry Hef and start of family of her own, she still enjoys the close friendships she's made with Bridget (who has been dating Hef for about 4 years), and Kendra (who has been dating Hef for about 2 years now). The three of them together equal tons of fun, and they each bring a unique personality to the show.
This DVD boxset is awesome. It is 100% completely uncensored -- so anything that is either blurred, bleeped, or edited out for content control while the episodes air on live TV, is likewise left alone for the DVDs. Boobs, butt, and cuss words abound, so even if you've seen all the episodes on TV, I guarentee the experience is quite different once you view them again on DVD.
One of my favorite features of these discs would be the commentary. All three women provide commentary for each and every episode, and I fully recommend taking advantage of that fact. They will nitpick the episode apart, tell the audience when and where the network took a few too many liberties with the editing, and basically provide a little extra insight, and some interesting little tidbits. Holly personally stated that she loves doing the commentary for all the episodes because it gives her the opportunity to sometimes "set the record straight" and "have the last word" on some of the many mansion escapades!
Don't miss out, because these are seriously some of the most entertaining DVDs you'll own! I've considered it a very wise investment!

Doctor Who: Attack of the Cybermen (Story 138) (2009) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This season opener from 1985 (season 22) has it all! Cybermen in the London underground, a new doctor, mercinaries, diamond robers, new aliens (the cryons), a working cameleon cirtut in the TARDIS, Haley's Comet, a return to the frozen Cyber tombs on Telos and even a return visit to the junk yard where Doctor Who all began in 1963... Whew!
The story grabs you from the first minute and never lets you go; Right up to the bloody, corpse filled final seconds. New doctor Colin Baker realy shines here. Everything we were hoping Colin Baker's doctor would be is evident here. He is brash and bold and taking on all comers including the Cyber Controller himself. The sixth doctor has no problem picking up a gun (or Cyber laser)and defending himself and the earth from who or what ever threatens. This is Colin Baker's best performance; I still find it regretable he was never really given a chance to grow into the role ( He was one of the scape goats for the 1986 hiatus).
You get excellent performances from the supporting cast as well which just adds to a gripping ending since none of them live to see the end of the episode. There are multiple reference to the show's past and a timely subplot envolving the Cyberman's plan to crash Haley's Comet into the Earth (Haley's Comet was in our "area" for real in 1985). I could go on and on about this episode but lets not spoil it for those who have not seen this episode yet. If you are one of them I say go for it and buy this one; Trust me! you will not be disapointed!
Ofcourse, every Doctor Who episode has it's nae sayers and this one is no exception. Some say the plot is too convoluted, the Cyber Controler is too "rotund", and the Cybermen in the frozen tombs on Telos do not look like the ones in the old Troughton episode "Tomb of the Cybermen". To these points I say keep in mind the BBC did not spend a ton of money on Doctor Who back in the day (1963 to1989). They would never spend money on two diferent styles of Cybermen. Infact they would never spent much money on the show at all...Isn't that what we loved about the show in the first place. For the short commings in this episode I say I would put this episode up against any in the show's history. Come July 7th I will be in front of my TV, popcorn in hand, and ejoying one of the most riviting yarns in Doctor Who history....Now where is my cat lapel pin????

Jon and Kate Plus Ei8ht: Season Three (2008) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm assuming people looking at this already know whether or not they like the show, if you don't know or haven't seen it yet it's not hard to catch the episodes playing almost round the clock in syndication on TLC. The third season is still the lovable Gosselin family, the episodes are the finest of the series so far as it showed us the families real daily lives around the home more than recent episodes but the children were older and more mature than earlier seasons. This set also has the especially enjoyable episodes that focused on individual time between Jon & Kate with each individual child on their own special day. Episodes included in this 4 disc set are:
Trip To The Zoo
Day In The Life
Twins Turn 7!
Kate Hires A Nanny
Winter Preparation
Potty Training the Boys
Family Photo Shoot
Kate's Wardrobe Makeover
Gosselin Family Christmas
Plane Ride to Utah
Gosselins Go Skiing
Twins Get Musical
Cooking with the Twins
Carpeting the House
Valentine's Day
Color me Gosselin
Leah and Joel
Aaden and Hannah
Alexis and Colin
Mady's Day
Cara's Day
Jon & Kate's Special Day
Oprah Here We Come
Household Chores
Gosselins Take the Stage
Games Gosselins Play
Memorial Day Picnic
Discipline
Jon's Hair Raising Experience
Jon & Kate Family Movie Night
Plus Special Features: Behind the Scenes of Jon & Kate Plus 8 (which originally aired as an episode).
Viewer FAQ (Which originally aired as an episode)
Music Video: A Hug & A Kiss (Which was promoted and aired once on television)
All episodes this season are shot and shown in 16:9 Anamorphic Widescreen Aspect Ratio. Audio is Dolby Digital 2.0. There Are English Subtitles, the set is rated G and has a running time of approx. 698 minutes.
This season is in my opinion the best Jon & Kate has to offer. I haven't enjoyed recent episodes as much as these ones, possibly because they've been away from home alot doing too many out of the ordinary things that I can't relate to when I always found that sense of home to be the heart of the series. Hopefully now that they've settled into their new house the show will return more to the format I enjoyed. Though the hype the show has received and the affect it seems to have had (in my opinion) on the family will never allow it to be as great as it was in this third season it is still and probably will always be an enjoyable family series for most and they're who I recommend this to.

When the Gosselins dreamed of having a family, nonstop chaos wasn't exactly what they envisioned. But the arrival of a set of twins and a set of sextuplets within five years has added up to Jon & Kate plus 8. And their dream family has turned into a mind-boggling juggling act. Season 3 continues to take you into the lives of this unusual and amazing family as they experience the havoc, the challenges and the joys of raising multiples. Sometimes it's a comedy, sometimes it's a drama, but it's always an adventure!Stills from Jon and Kate Plus Ei8ht (Click for larger image)
