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 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.

Grey’s Anatomy Season 4 a DVD Review

Ah, Grey’s Anatomy the baby of executive producer Shonda Rhimes. Is the fourth season of Grey’s Anatomy still going strong or does it begin to waiver? Let’s find out.

First, let’s briefly recap Season 3 of Grey’s Anatomy. In Season 3 Cristina is left at the alter by Dr. Burke which not only shatters Cristina but Meredith also. Izzy slept with George and told him that she was in love with him. The chief appointed Dr. Torres as chief resident instead of Miranda. Karev falls in love with his mystery patient Ava.

In Grey’s Anatomy Season 4 DVD we pick up where we left off last season. It’s a new day at Seattle Grace and fresh new interns have arrived. To everyone’s surprise Meredith’s sister Lexie is one of the new interns at Seattle Grace.

Cristina is left to pick up the pieces after Dr. Burke’s departure from her life and Seattle Grace. After watching again how love has failed someone Meredith quickly withdraws from Dr. Shepherd.

Izzy bordering on stalking George wants him to face the fact that they are in love with each other. Poor Dr. Torres realizes that her marriage is falling apart. George wants to do the right thing, but as usual love conquers all. Or does it? You’ll have to watch the Season 4 DVD of Grey’s Anatomy to find out.

Dr. Bailey who is the rock of Seattle Grace is having marital problems. We see how a woman whose career takes off strives to find a balance between work and home.

Typically in a medical drama you will see some very interesting medical mysteries, procedures and story lines that shock you and those that also pull at your heart strings. Grey’s Anatomy Season 4 DVD has all of that.

Seattle Grace has found a replacement for Dr. Burke who immediately takes a dislike to Cristina. McSteamy really needs a better story line. Now that Madison is gone it seems like they don’t know quite what to do with him.

One thing I did have a problem with is the back and forth between Meredith and Dr. Shepherd. Although, there has to be struggles and detours before the protagonist ends up with her love interest.

In the Season 4 DVD of Grey’s Anatomy unexpected relationships are formed revelations are revealed. Bonds are strengthened and a few surprises abound.

Overall Grey’s Anatomy Season 4 DVD is worth watching.

Desperate Housewives Season 4 Available on DVD

In the fourth season of the DVD Desperate Housewives we begin with a brief recap of the previous season.

Gabrielle overheard Victor and his father saying that he made the right decision in marrying her because she will bring in the Latino vote. Gabby hurt by hearing this turns to Carlos. Susan and Mike finally made it down the aisle while Lanette found out that she has cancer. Bree arrived at Gabby’s wedding pregnant. And Eddie had climbed onto a chair and put a noose around her neck.

And that’s where season 4 DVD of Desperate Housewives picks up. Our four favorite housewives and Eddie are up to some crazy shenanigans as usual.

We have the revelation of Lanette’s cancer to the other housewives. One housewife loses a husband tragically, while ones husband battles a drug addiction. And one housewife is faking a pregnancy hoping not to be discovered.

We also have new neighbors on Wisteria lane. We have our very first gay couple and the much anticipated arrival of Dana Delany playing the character of Katherine Mayfair. Some of you may not know that originally Marc Cherry wanted Dana Delany for the role of Bree Van de Kamp. But due to other commitments she wasn’t able to accept the role.

I would just like to point out that things do happen for a reason. I don’t think anyone could have played the role of Bree better than Marcia Cross. It was a perfect match.

I also would like to mention that Gabrielle is one of the most hilarious characters on television. Evan Longoria-Parker should be nominated for an Emmy for her portrayal of Gabrielle Sollis.

In the season 4 DVD of Desperate Housewives a tornado hits Wisteria Lane. And we watch the housewives cope with the aftermath.

As always there is deception, betrayal, blackmail, and murder in this season of Desperate Housewives. But there is also love, friendship, loyalty, and overcoming obstacles as all women do but not before a few dirty little secrets are revealed.

So catch up with your favorite Housewives before season five premieres. Desperate Housewives Season 4 is currently available of DVD.

House Season 4 DVD Available Now

Before inserting the first DVD I wondered what the writers could do in this season of House to top the previous ones. And was that even possible? You know how some series start off with that fire and then the spark begins to wane. Would House grow stale and sizzle off?

Oh no, not House. I think this show just keeps getting better. Was this DVD worth its weight in gold? Yes it was. What can I say I love this mans wicked sense of humor.

As we left off in the previous season of House, Foreman had quit. House fired Chase and Cameron had resigned. So now House is without a team and his mandatory quest for replacements begins.

House hates the interviewing process and to Cuddy’s dismay he begins a “Survivor” like quest for his open positions.

The premise of searching for employees in the manner of elimination such as a reality TV show is ridiculous. But it works and it’s absolutely hilarious.

You may think House’s tactics are ludicrous. Crazy even, but I say crazy like a fox. His over the top antics are brilliant when you really think about it.

The fourth Season of House now out on DVD is filled with interesting medical mysteries along with a host of special guest stars. It will have you thoroughly entertained throughout this short but powerful season. With laughter, love, twists and turns with a bittersweet ending.

If you’re not watching House I don’t know what rock you’re living under.

This is on the most innovative, brilliantly written shows on television today. Not to mention the superb award winning acting of its lead character played by Hugh Laurie.

House Season 4 DVD is in stores now and available to rent at your local video store. Get out and pick up your copy of this DVD today.

To keep current with House this season it airs on the FOX network Tuesday nights this fall. And if you are new to House Seasons 1-3 are also available on DVD.
