Low Price Pilot


I've often wondered what happened to Sharon Gless after "Cagney and Lacy". Now I know, she's still appearing in top notch serials.

Now if Hulu would start running old "Cagney and Lacy" episodes.Get more detail about Pilot.

Save The Matrix Revolutions


The Matrix trilogy truly resides in my mind as the the best sci-fi trilogy of the 90s/21st Century, full mind-blowing action. The Matrix Revolutions may not be as memorable as The Matrix or The Matrix Reloaded, but it is definitely worth watching. Picking up right after The Matrix Reloaded, the fate of Zion rests in the balance of Neo.

The films starts great with an excellent chase scene in The Matrix to save Neo, the middle of the film contains contains a spectacular battle sequence as the machines invade Zion, and a Superman style fight amazes me the most at the end. The Wachowski Brothers are truly genius when it comes to satisfying an audience, a great score also helps enthrall us. The only downside to the film is it can be very dull at times between the big fight sequences.

The only available DVD version is the 2-Disc version which is great! The movie can be found quite cheap quite often, and it is worth the price (I would pay 30 for it!). The Second disk is packed with special features that truly take time to watch through completely. The only downside to the film is that their are no commentaries to go alongside the film. I have no regrets since I purchased this film and never film. A trilogy I will never forget.Get more detail about The Matrix Revolutions.

Discount Garfield


My son has been watching this and I find it unspeakably insipid. Silly stories, boring characters, etc. The animation is also mediocre, with characters moving too much in needless gestures. It is all irritating background noise.

This is not one that parents can watch with their kids and pushes the minimal value of the newspaper comic way beyond the limits of its value.Get more detail about Garfield.

Cheapest Because Of Winn-Dixie


It was good to find a kids movie that my 6 year old son, 3 year old daughter and my husband and I could ALL sit down and enjoy. Very heartwarming, cute movie.Get more detail about Because Of Winn-Dixie.

Buying Simple Explanation


By the time of the writing of this review I'm sure you're all very much aware of the situation. The House team lost a player and his name was Dr. Lawrence Kutner, played by the utterly sublime Kal Penn. For no particular reason that I can define, I am a massive fan of Kal Penn's and was overjoyed when he first joined the House team. His aura and presence is something very special and the show will really struggle to get over him. Next to House, he was one of the funniest and more intelligent Doctors on the team, albeit a bit unorthodox.

This particularly sombre episode opens with yet another peculiar case, but this is now with a fantastic guest star in the guise of Meat Loaf as the dying husband of a dying wife (it's complicated, the sicker she gets, the better he gets, and he is in the last stages of terminal cancer). The team starts off one man down as Kutner is nowhere to be seen or heard; but they carry on as normal. Throughout the first quarter of the episode, it consists of the intermingling of the intriguing diagnostic case and the bigger question of "Where is Kutner?"

Thirteen and Foreman decide that they must find out what's up with Kutner, so they pay a visit to his apartment, only to find him lying dead on his bedroom floor with a hole through his head. Kutner had committed suicide much to the distress of an extremely shocked team and a surprised House. Nobody saw it coming and House becomes more intrigued in the death of Kutner than his own patient.

After the death, and quite unsurprisingly, the episode takes quite a dark tone and you really understand what the team would be going through. Thanks to the fantastic acting, I also found myself resenting Taub who was someone who exhibited such lack of emotion towards the tragedy, I actually came to suspect that there was a possibility he killed Kutner (which let's face it, would have been interesting). But as of this moment in time, that is not the case.

This was a really good episode and although we know why Kutner is no longer in the show, it's still a sincerely sad thing to see him gone and would have rather see him go on a better note leaving the possibility for a return in any possible further seasons. Alas that was not meant to be and although a sad episode it was, I couldn't help but think that on an emotional scale, this was one of the strongest of the lot this season, possibly matching that of the first episode of season 5.Get more detail about Simple Explanation.

Buy Collision: Christopher Hitchens vs. Douglas Wilson (Amazon.com Exclusive)


Do some youtube searches instead to find debates on the topic.
This video is like some silly MTv show. I appreciate MTv and I appreciate the topic of the debate. But not together. Half an hour into the mess I found myself thinking "Allright, that's a lot of build up - shouldn't the actual debate start now?" It never did. I repeat; check out youtube or just search the internet for videos on the topic and the protagonists.
