REVIEW: The Smurfs Season 1 Volume 2

My biggest complaint about this dvd is that Papa Smurf isn’t as featured on the cover as he should be.

What can I say? If you were raised on the classics then you want the Smurfs- not for the same purposes as Gargamel, but you still have a hunger for them. They’re happy, little tales of happy, little people leading happy, big lives. . . . . . see what I did there? Continue reading “REVIEW: The Smurfs Season 1 Volume 2”

Review – South Park The Cult of Cartman: Revelations

Everyone knows South Park – so everyone also knows they “go too far” a lot. Personally, these days, I’m not offended by anything. And I believe most of young America feels the same way. I believe this is also why South Park is still flourishing after seasons and seasons of success.

And this is especially true of the episodes featured on The Cult of Cartman dvd collection. Continue reading “Review – South Park The Cult of Cartman: Revelations”

In front of what feels like millions of screaming fans, a giant wrecking ball demolishes a fake on-stage building, leaving an empty stage in need of rocking.

Concert DVD Review – John Mayer: Where The Light Is

Concert DVDs have to be tailor-made to fit the desires of uber fans of the particular artist at hand. Let’s face it, a person typically doesn’t want to sit and watch a two-and-a-half-hour concert of someone they’re barely familiar with. It can get boring if you’re not a fan. That’s why filmmakers sprinkle in candid moments with the performers and backstage hijinx.

That being said, if you aren’t a fan then you might not enjoy this particular DVD. There are several other concerts available on DVD that would entertain even those completely unfamiliar with the performers. And while I did enjoy Where the Light Is, I would not put it in that category.
