    Star Trek: The Original Series - Season Two (Blu-ray) HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

    Panasonic BD10-A will not play Season 2. I had an upgrade when the James Bond Discs came out. I guess I'll return them and wait till I can afford another player which won't be soon.

    Why Are Criterions STILL Overpriced?

    Before cable the only thing on TV late night was old movies. Most of the time they were the best thing on but often they were the only thing on. No computer, no video games, no choice. Kids were rejecting their parents world more violently than ever and were not interested in the music, The War...

    The Taking Of Pelham 1-2-3, anamorphic?

    The original cast was good but we have good actors now too. The problem is that Tony Scott = overlystylized, badly edited wankfest. I wait at the station for the original to come rolling in.

    Saturday Night Live - Season 34

    No classics but I enjoyed it overall. Michaela Watkins is coming to the fore and she gave snarky bloggers a taste of their own. The Vincent Price special was well done but I remember who those people are. The Wii bit was rather MADTV for anyone who misses that show. I thought the Jonas Brothers...

    24: Season Seven

    But if he doesn't contact the woman again, the threat is over. Starting the relationship was his own threat to his own plot, as are any additional murders. She must make some damn fine lasanga.

    Saturday Night Live - Season 34

    So the show hosted by the guy I've never heard of is much better than the one hosted by Steve Martin. Seth is more confident on the news and he managed a good Really?! on his own. Wiig is a genius but I would like to see more of the other gals.

    24: Season Seven

    Ok, I was wrong about that guy who blew up a while back. He wasn't a terrorist who could be distracted by a threat to his family. But the man in charge is major evil and... he has a girlfriend? And when his relationship is threatened at a crucial moment he leaves his men? Plot contrivance-wise...

    Fringe - By J.J. Abrams

    No question. I'm sure many SVU fans watch that show thinking "Slap the cuffs on me Mariska. I've been a baaad boy!"

    Blu-ray Review HTF Blu-ray Review: Rent: Filmed Live on Broadway

    I would be all over a recording of the recent South Pacific. The lead actress was terrific as were the bits I saw on places like Letterman.

    Fringe - By J.J. Abrams

    TV is full of pretty, tiny women who fail to convince as agents or detectives. Anna Torv looks like she could actually handle a gun and beat somebody up. This business about her "tiny head" is a result of comparing her to the many actors on TV who are quite short and look like they have big...

    24: Season Seven

    Last week was my favorite so far. The tension was genuine and I certainly didn't know how the situation with the First Man was going to turn out. Though not bad, I thought this week was the weakest do far. It was so easy for the bad guy to threaten on of his underlings family. Shades of worst...
