We Are Marshall Review (DVD)

About?: In 1970 after a football game the team from Marshall University flies back home, the whole team get on the plane except for coach Red Dawson (Matthew Fox) . On the way home the plane crashes and everyone on the plane dieds. The school was going to suspend the football program, but with the help of most of the students they continue with the program with the new head coach Jack Lengyel (Matthew McConaughey).

My Thoughts: We Are Marshall is a great film. I enjoyed every minute of it. I think this is Matthew McConaughey's best performance to date, he does a great job, especially in the beginning were i thought he was really funny. The score was excellent from the times when they would be playing football they were playing drums from a band. Just like you would hear if you were at a real game which made you feel you were right there in the action. I thought We Are Marshall looked great too. There are times during the games were I thought the scenes looks gorgeous. I really enjoyed this film.

DVD Content: The DVD comes with in one disc and is presented in widescreen 2.35:1, with English Dolby Digital 5.1 and 2.0 Stereo and a French 5.1 track. The special features include a "Legendary Coaches: How the Coaches Overcome Adversity" and a theatrical trailer. The features runs around 131 minutes.

DVD Thoughts: The DVD is pretty bare compared to some other DVD out but the Legendary Coaches feature was entertaining and its around 30 plus minutes. I would like to have seen some more extras but that not the case. So it hard to recommend the DVD.

Overall: We Are Marshal is a very good film. From start to finish it had me hooked the performances were stellar the cinematography was excellent and even up to the score. While the film section was good it did lack however on the extra features side I thought. All in All this is a great film and recommend this just for the features I give We Are Marshall a:
4 out of 5

The Office "Dunder Mifflin Infinity" Review (TV)

About?: Ryan (B.J. Novak) comes back to the office but this time not as a temp but as Michael's boss. The whole office officially finds out about the "Jim and Pam" thing, Them dating. Michael goes on a quest to show everyone that technology is not the way to go with the company. We also lean about the future of Angela and Dwight and Ryan and Kelly.

My Thoughts: This weeks episode is funny as Ryan comes back to the office he tells them that Dunder Mifflin is starting use a website to talk with customer service and that the employees will be using blue tooth phones to communicate. Creed becomes suspicious and tell Michael that the business is getting all the old people of the office out of the way. The transformation of Creed is hilarious as well as the scenes with Angela and Dwight. The scene at the end with Michael's car was great I couldn't stop laughing it was great.

Overall: Again, The Office does a great job at entertaining you with another great episode with good acting from Steve Carell and great writing. The Office is just a good show all around with Dunder Mifflin Infinity and I give it a:

30 Rock "SeinfeldVision" Review (TV)

About?: After coming back from the hiatus, Liz Lemon (Tina Fey) comes back to work after the recent break up of her boyfriend to find that Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin) is putting Seinfeld into every NBC show they are running without his consent. Tracy (Tracy Morgan) gets kicked out of his house and stays at the studio, while Jenna (Jane Krakowski) is back from Broadway after gaining weight by eating pizza during each show.

My Thoughts: This is the season premiere of the "award" winning best comedy series. With the return of Jerry Seinfeld to television, That alone demands a watching. This was a good episode to start the season off. The scenes with Kenneth (Jack McBrayer) and Seinfeld were hilarious I could not stop laughing it was funny. Seinfeld was good, he didn't have that much tv time thought I wished more. The episode was funny and the writing on this show is superb and I loved every minute of it.

Overall: 30 is one of my favorite shows, every single member of the cast does a great job and with Alec Baldwin, and Jerry Seinfeld on this episode, you can't go wrong. Lets just hope it continues throughout this season. I give 30 Rock's episode "SeinfeldVision" a:
4 out of 5

My Name Is Earl "The Gangs of Camden County" Review (TV)

About?: Earl this week meets with the Warden (Craig T. Nelson) and helps him break up the fighting between two of the gangs inside the prison in order to get certificate to shorten his time in jail. While Randy unsuccessful in getting to jail with Earl, he decides of another way of getting in.

My Thoughts : For some reason I didn't like this weeks Earl that much, maybe it the idea of Earl working for the warden just to get "certificates" for getting out of jail earlier. Also I didn't enjoy the way the Warden was scared when a person slams into the window, I didn't find that at all funny. Don't get me wrong some parts were funny like the reason for the fighting and I did like the end were Randy gets to be with Earl by being a guard.

Overall: This weeks episode for me didn't do it. I thought it was a weak episode and didn't like this "certificate" ideas of getting Earl out early. This is a big downgrade from last weeks episode. I give "The Gangs of Camden County" episode a:
2.5 out of 5

The Comedians of Comedy: Live at the Troubadour Review (DVD)

About?: The Comedians of Comedy is a group of comedians who are doing stand up live at the Troubadour, the comedians consist of Patton Oswalt, Brian Posehn, Zach Galifianakis, Maraia Bamford, David Cross, Sarah Silverman, Blaine Capatch, Jon Benjamin, Jasper Redd, Andy Kindler, Morgan Murphy, Doug Benson, Dana Gold and Eugene Mirman.

My Thoughts: All the comedians bring different types of comedy and they are all funny. I enjoyed the stand up very much. I did wish they each all had a little more time to tell jokes, each comic got around 10 plus minutes to do their stand up, each had some good stuff. For me the ones that stood out were Brian Posehn, Blaine Capatch, Jasper Redd was good and Zach Galifianakis and I enjoyed. Sarah Silverman and Steve Agee song, that was good.

DVD Content: The DVD contains the feature stand up that runs for 135 minutes and is presented in 1.78.1 widescreen with 2.0 Dolby Stereo. The extras on the DVD include Behind-the-Scenes Footage, Never-Before-Seen Outtakes and Deleted Scenes, The Legendary Troubadour.

DVD Thoughts: The Behind the Scene is very short, around 2-3 minutes, and we get to see the transformation of Zach in to Seth Galifianakis. Most of the extras are about Patton Oswalt, one was about a Heckler and Patton Oswalt making fun of him. another, him telling a story and the last a joke about diet. Lastly short info about the history of the Troubadour. All the extras were way to short and I would have like to seen more of the backstage stuff.

Overall: The DVD of The Comedians of Comedy is solid on only the feature side the extra content were very short but still funny. I thought that the sets for each comedy was too short also but what they have were funny and entertaining. That is why I gave The Comedians of Comedy: Live at the Troubadour a:
3.5 out of 5

I would have never though I would laugh about rabies and this episode makes it possible. The main Pam and Jim question as well as Karen's was answered and I expected it to happen, Jim and Pam getting together.

Overall: "Fun Run" is a solid episode with a good amount of laughs and each of the characters get a good amount of screen time. This episode does have a answer to the whole Jim and Pam "thing" which was good. This episode, "Fun Run" is a good way of starting off the new season on a good note. I give this episode a:

My Name Is Earl "My Name is Inmate 28301-016 Part 1 + 2" Review (TV)

About?: This is the season premiere of the third season of My Name is Earl. At the end of the second season Joys was being trailed for a crime she committed during the beginning of the season. As Joy (Jamie Pressly) is plead guilty and was about to go to jail was when Earl (Jason Lee) told the judge that he did this crime no Joy. Instead of Joy going to jail, Earl when to jail. The Third Season starts up as Earl is in jail. Earl tries to stay invisible so he doesn't get into trouble but while there Earl meets a childhood "friend" who is on his list (played by Ben Foster) and he wants to kill Earl because of what happened when they were kids. Earl tries to cross him off the list while not being stabbed. Another plot is what is happening with Randy (Ethan Suplee) about being lonely without Earl and Joy's guilt of Earl going to prison for her. So Earl has her take care of Randy awhile he's in prison.

My Thoughts: As we find out what is going to happen with Earl and his jail situation I was cautious about what direction they can push the show. At first I was really reluctant because I was thinking how will he work on his karma. Seeing the first episode of this season I really enjoyed this Ben Foster who is a guest staring as a man in jail who Earl wronged one time in his life. The story of this Karma was good I was very pleased. The scenes that were in the jail were entertaining but I thought that the scenes with Joy and Randy was bogging down the story a little bit and at time where boring.

Overall: This is a good and solid episode to start up the third season of My Name is Earl. My Name is Inmate 28301-016 Parts 1 and 2 still get some good laughs, that why I rated My Name is Earl a:
3.5 out of 5
