DVD Review LIZ & DICK

Exploitive much? Lindsey Lohan brings her tabloid gravitas to a movie picking over the bones of the woman, whose life was the material of tabloid legend. Not very good as a biography, not very good as a movie, this film careens from cringeworthy to boring. For Lohan completists only (or maybe Grant Bowler fans).

DVD Review DOWNTON ABBEY SEASONS ONE & TWO LIMITED EDITION

It is rare when something lives up to the hype. Downton Abbey is Golden Globe winning, Emmy winning and everybody is talking about it and making fun of it. It is a phenomenon that is found on public television. It is simply great fun to watch. Highly recommended.

DVD Review ROSEMARY'S BABY (BLU-RAY)

Perhaps not the ideal film for expectant mothers to watch, Rosemary's Baby remains a masterful bit of horror that still has the ability to disturb and terrify. And it's even better on Blu-Ray.

Highly recommended.

DVD Review ANCIENT ALIENS: SEASON FOUR (BLU-RAY)

Series writers might be stretching sometimes to fill an hour on a topic occasionally, but pound-for-pound this is easily my favorite History Channel series. Mock it if you want, but this show always makes me think about the big picture just a little bit differently.

DVD Review BEST OF ANCIENT ALIENS (BLU-RAY)

Being a completist I'm not much of a fan of 'best of' collections, especially for a series I enjoy like Ancient Aliens. Give me the season sets on Blu-Ray or give me nothing.

DVD Review ANCIENT ALIENS: SEASON TWO

Subject matter like this - ancient aliens visiting Earth in the past - is pretty much designed to preach to the tinfoil hat choir (I can say that because I'm one of them), and if you are already in that group -"hello, my name is Rich" - I have no doubt you will find this series quite interesting, even if the transfers are only fair-to-middling.

Very little is said about this Swedish thriller on the DVD cover, but the ominous, creepy picture more than likely says a lot for what's in store here. Then again, given the ambiguity, I could be totally wrong.
