DVD Movie Review of Hancock starring Will Smith


Will Smith as a superhero intrigued me. This was not your stereotypical action hero. In fact, he was the opposite.


A superhero who was an anti-social alcoholic who didn’t actually like saving people this was something new to me. At last a new twist and I liked it. But was Hancock the type of superhero movie I was used to seeing?


The movie Hancock was more of an introduction to a new type of superhero that we aren’t used to seeing.


This installment of Hancock was more character motivated than action driven. And when I say this installment it means I would like to see more of Hancock in a superhero role.


The action sequences in this movie were miniscule and not too impressive. This was director Peter Berg’s first film using visual effects as critical parts of the movie. Evidently, it’s very apparent when you view the film. When you watch superhero films you expect the action scenes to be spectacular. You even expect to see something you’ve never seen before.


I hate to say the actions scenes in Hancock were lame. I was overly disappointed in Charlize Theron’s brief superhero stint. A woman with superhuman strength is always sexy and scene stealing.


But to Hancock’s credit I liked the storyline. I enjoyed Will Smith and Jason Bateman’s performances. This comedic superhero isn’t hard to watch. Will Smith even gives this superhero some heart. I think that Will Smith fans will enjoy this movie.


Hancock is one of those films you can either leave or take.

DVD Review of Ugly Betty Season 2


Who knew that the hit series Ugly Betty would turn out to be the beautiful swan that it is. Without a doubt, Ugly Betty Season 2 is just as enjoyable as the first.

America Ferrara who plays the role of Betty Suarez has taken the age old adage of inner beauty to new heights.

Ugly Betty Season 2 is filled with a steady stream of storylines. Its soap opera-ish quality means there is constant drama between several characters on the show. This makes this television show hot and fresh; never stale.

In the second season of Ugly Betty, Betty’s family copes with the lost of her sister’s fiancĂ© and nephew’s father. Meanwhile Betty’s father Ignacio is stuck in Mexico hoping to make it back to the States.

Betty’s love life is turned inside out and heartache is imminent no matter what she decides. Daniel Meade continually falls in love with the wrong woman and the one most notable in Ugly Betty Season 2 is Wilhelmina’s sister played by Gabrielle Union.

Mother Meade is still on the run but determined to keep her family together and bring down big bad Wilhelmina.

As always we have Wilhelmina plotting to take over Mode Magazine. Whether it’s by marrying into the Meade family or any other scheme she can come up with. Don’t underestimate Wilhelmina as you will soon see in this season of Ugly Betty.

The two men in Betty’s life this season are Henry and newcomer Gino. In this season we see Betty began to spread her wings. Hard lessons are learned, devilish schemes are concocted and splashes of humor are thrown in where you don’t expect them.

The writing of young untainted love is captured beautifully. Betty Suarez reminds you of when you were young and loved hard and threw caution to the wind and tugs at your heartstrings when she suffers her deepest heartbreak.

Don’t forget we have the top notch love to hate villainess Wilhelmina Slater played superbly by Vanessa Williams. You couldn’t have a complete season without the wild and silly antics of office staff Amanda and Marc. The Suarez family warms your heart and shouldn’t be missed.

There are some shocking revelations and turn of events that you don’t expect. Will the Meade Empire survive it? Will Mode? Will the Suarez family? You’ll have to watch the Ugly Betty Season 2 DVD to find out.

DVD Review of Boston Legal Season 4


Boston legal has one of the most intimate, loving, committed relationships I’ve ever seen on television. And that relationship just so happens to be between two heterosexual males. Denny Crane and Alan Shore of Crane, Poole, and Schdmidt, two of Boston Legal’s finest.

David E. Kelley can make you hope and believe in anything. I actually believe if men could develop and keep relationships such as this one on Boston Legal the world would be a much better place.

In Season 4 of Boston Legal the most notable additions to the cast are John Larroquette and Tara Summers. Boston Legal Season 4 opens with Alan Shore defending senior partner Shirley Schdmidt. Jerry Espenson assists new lawyer Katie Lloyd on her very first case; which happens to be a capital murder trial. Clarence/Clarice Bell gets into trouble with the new senior partner Carl Sack played by John Larroquette. Alan in his newly committed relationship is given an ultimatum, and then enters a sexy litigator from his past to stir up trouble.

Wilds antics definitely ensue with this quirky cast of characters. But don’t let the side splitting laughter fool you. David E. Kelley and his staff of writers manage to brilliantly weave in up to the minute news stories with their ingenious twists along with the most talked about social issues of our day. Anything you might consider taboo is covered on Boston Legal and it’s done by giving equal time to both sides of the issue. If it shouldn’t be said or done then you know Denny Crane either does one or both.

Season 4 of Boston Legal will have you engaged from beginning to end. This is undoubtedly one of the best court room dramas ever done. This Emmy award winning series has single-handedly revived the careers of James Spader and William Shatner.

With that being said Boston Legal Season 4 is definitely one DVD worth watching.

How to help Jennifer Hudson in her time of Need


I was listening to Jennifer Hudson’s self titled CD the other day and noticed since her release of the hit single Spotlight we haven’t heard or seen any other tracks officially released. Unfortunately, it’s due to the tragic deaths of her mother, brother and nephew.

In light of recent events I could understand if Jennifer Hudson couldn’t get out of the bed in the morning let alone think about promoting her debut album. So I said to myself what could we do to support Jennifer Hudson?

So I got my creative juices flowing and this is what I came up with. I propose a celebrity filled video be done for the third track on her album titled, “Pocketbook.”

I chose Pocketbook because it’s upbeat, sassy and playful. Immediately when I hear the song Pocketbook an air of confidence comes over me it makes me feel sexy and powerful. The spirit of the song encompasses Jennifer Hudson.

What I envisioned is an extravagant fashion show. On the runway we will see all the top celebrities walking down the runway just as sexy and sassy as they please with the song Pocketbook playing in the background. In the audience we will have what you call a celebrity spotting. In every key position we will see celebrities. Celebrities doing makeup, doing hair, helping the models get dressed, celebrities posing as photographers, and janitors. You get the picture. And of course Ludacris will come out at the end and do his part of the song.

Jennifer Hudson doesn’t have to appear in this video. All the appearances and celebrity time will be donated in support of her in her difficult time.

All those invited would be all celebrities who want to show support. I would like to see American Idol Alums, Singers, Actors, Professional Athletes, and all her native Chicagoans.

At the end of the video they will show a picture of Jennifer Hudson with a dedication to her family. This is my gift to her and her family. And I hope others will pay it forward also.

If you think this is a good idea please forward this to everyone you know. Good intentions are sure to reach the right hands. Hopefully we can see this come to fruition.

Jennifer Hudson is one of Arista’s recording artists. Her debut Album Jennifer Hudson was produced by Clive Davis and Larry Jackson.
