Editorial Review:
John Adams is a sprawling HBO miniseries event that depicts the extraordinary life and times of one of Americas least understood and most underestimated founding fathers: the second President of the United States John Adams. Starring Paul Giamatti (Sideways Cinderella Man HBOs American Spendor) in the title role and Laura Linney (You Can Count on Me Kinsey) as Adams devoted wife Abigail John Adams chronicles the extraordinary life journey of one of the primary shapers of our independence and government whose legacy has often been eclipsed by more flamboyant contemporaries like George Washington Thomas Jefferson Alexander Hamilton and Benjamin Franklin. Set against the backdrop of a nations stormy birth this sweeping miniseries is a moving love story a gripping narrative and a fascinating study of human nature. Above all at a time when the nation is increasingly polarized politically this story celebrates the shared values of liberty and freedom upon which this country was built.Running Time: 501 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS UPC: 883929020065 Manufacturer No: 1000038820

Band of Brothers - Blu-ray 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.
I had purchased this set originally when it came out and had a little difficulty with one of the discs so I had planned to replace the set at some point. The series itself is the quintessential story of a company of men going from basic training to combat during World War II. The best as far as I'm concerned. When my wife and I recently bought a Blu-ray theater system I decided I might start replacing a few discs but assumed they would probably be just Sci-Fi. I was glad I happen to spot this series while looking through the Blu-ray section. I couldn't beleive how reasonably priced this set was on Amazon. I immediately ordered it and the quality is astounding. You won't believe how real the picture and sound are even though they were remarkable with the original set. It truly looks like there is depth to the picture and if you have surround speakers it will blow you away. Superb quality DVDs with many extras including interviews and commentary by members of Easy Company. Don't miss out on this set if you enjoy dramas and if you have a friend or family member that enjoys war movies, I strongly urge you to get it for them. If you enjoy this be sure to catch "Saving Private Ryan".

There is really no need for a long review for this TV series. All that you need to know, is buy it. It is the best TV series ever released, and it is the most visceral, emotional, gritty, and realistic representation of the battlefield I have ever seen.

Flawless Show, Efficient Packaging 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.
I'll blow through the review of the show, because enough people have gone into detail with their own reviews. The Wire is, quite simply, a masterpiece of television. Of any medium, really. It gets better with each season, and stands up to repeated viewings. It's also funny, a quality that is sorely under-reported in most reviews. There are legitimate, real laughs to be had throughout the program. You'll love it.
Amazon has two review categories for video games. The quality of the game, and how fun the game is. For DVDs, particularly with box sets like this becoming so popular, they should have ratings for the show and for the packaging. The packaging is good, it's attractive, it's not unnecessarily large like the Complete The Sopranos. But it's not great, either. The DVDs come in attractive cardboard sleeves, which is fine with me, but they aren't assembled very well. At least, mine wasn't. Fortunately, I don't keep the DVDs in the sleeves anyway, but, if I did, they would undoubtedly break after repeated use.
Buy it. It's worth it.

Sex and the City- The complete series 1 out of 5 stars.
1 of 2 people found this review helpful.
This series would have been a great buy if it had worked. We popped these discs in and they played on every dvd player we could find but there is something wrong with the discs. They will not play every episode. It's as if they get stuck because of a bad manufacturing. I'm convinced it is not our dvd players. It was very frustrating to have spent the money for the complete series and still not be able to watch every episode. I don't have alot of faith in returning items and i'm not convinced we would recieve a better set anyways.
It is a great series that ended too soon. 5 out of 5 stars.

This was an excellent gift for my wife. She has enjoyed the various episodes on the first and second season. This was a complete set in a nice velvet pink case...which she also loved, with tons of laughs and insight. I would recommend this set for any women who loves Sex in the city.
Avoid This 1 out of 5 stars.

Product was shipped on time and packaged great! I ordered one for my mother-in-law and one for my husband. It will make a great Christmas gift!
Great Season! Nice Comeback From Season 3 Part 2! 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
I was very worried after watching Season 3 part 2 that this season was going to be awful. However, this season surpassed all of my expectations! There are a few new characters that you will love, a few twists and turns that keeps things interesting, and Drama takes a bigger role (which is kind of fun). Overall, I think this is a must-have for people who have watched the first three seasons, and it definitely gives the series the bump it needed after a disappointing second half of season 3.
Enjoy!
lifestyles of the decadent and rich gets glowing reviews 2 out of 5 stars.
0 of 6 people found this review helpful.
I thought that series on hbo would compare well to series found on regular tv channels, such as CSI on mainstream television. Boy was I wrong. Most of the tv shows seems to be the life and times of people within a certain geographic region with a little skin to show as well. Even at least sex and the city was witty.
But this show is insulting to demeaning to women, and sets a bad example to society. It seems like the only thing on these boys minds are sex, self pleasure, and how to make a lot of money no matter the ethics and morals involved. If you can relate to this show and want to live this type of lifestyle, then I can see how you would like it. Otherwise, there really isn't all that much to this show. It appeals to the base nature of men, and not necessarily those looking for something a bit less superficial. Likewise to hbo's new series "True Blood". Rednecks and vampires.. hello? that is like mixing water and oil. Trying to mix the charismatic, powerful, and sexy to the stereotypical redneck just doesn't make sense..

The final episodes 5 out of 5 stars.

The final episodes of SATC are a must have for any fan! I hate how they split up the final season into two parts, but I still have them both. The series ends on a perfect note and the commentary from MPK is good because he tells a lot of inside stuff from the series. The only thing I don't like about season 6 is that for being a finale season, some of the episodes seem like filler episodes that aren't even that great.

"She's Got Two Jobs...She's A Pastry Chef And A Sniper." 4 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.
"Flight of the Conchords" is a quirky, deadpan HBO series about a pair of New Zealanders, Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement, trying to break into the New York music scene. The duo is more funky than any folk singers have ever been, and find themselves in a variety of Spinal Tap-esque situations involving the band, their one fan, Mel, and their incompetent manager, Murray.
The humor here is very dry and delivered in an extremely deadpan manner, so fans of broadbrush or slapstick comedy may not find this to their tastes. People who like wry and intelligent humor will love it. I was especially amused by the episode where the guys were discriminated against by a fruit cart owner because they are New Zealanders ("I don't want our customers complaining that our fruit tastes like New Zealanders.") It couldn't have been resolved better than when the vendor discovers that he was confusing Australians and New Zealanders, ultimately befriending the guys in a horrible case of mistaken identity. Another favorite was the episode where Bret was haunted by visions of David Bowie in his sleep with hilarious results, and the final episode featuring a guest spot by the wonderful Demetri Martin.
Each episode features a couple of short music videos, all of which are over-the-top funny, and are the antithesis of conventional musical productions (thank goodness). The DVD set is well worth owning, but a major complaint is the total absence of extras in a series this recent. If you like offbeat, bizarre comedy, "Flight of the Conchords" is well worth checking out.

the darkest and therefore misunderstood season 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.
i completely 100% love the fifth season of sex and the city. true it is extremely short and overpriced but the 8 episodes are pure gold. A lot of the reviewers bemoaned the fact that this season suffers from a lack of laughs and is more serious and the characters feel unlike themselves. I tell those reviewers to take a closer look at the end of season 4, the journeys and behaviours of the four leads is completely truthful and relatably to real life after where we left them last. They are all burnt out, they have all had there hearts broken yet again and now they have realised that they are no longer as young as they once were and therefore feel terrified by the fact that they are still alone. I felt most for Carrie in this season, true she acts selfish towards some of friends at times in this season but she is so afraid of what will happen next after all that has happened - the breakup with Aiden and the departure of Big, that she reverts completely into herself and attempts to keep her friends static around her, as is witnessed in 'Luck be an old lady'. The other characters too experiences emotions that are unlike anything that has come before them. As Charlotte points out ot Miranda in the previous season just before Brady's birth that 'she needs to start letting people in' Miranda feels the full force of that this season when she attempts to balance both her social life with her family life and like Carrie fears what will come next. Charlotte is forced to confront the fact that her Mister Perfect fantasy of a husband was not a fantasy but turned into a nightmare, and that she must finally look elsewhere for the love and intimacy she desires so much. Samantha feels she loses a part of her identity upon opening herself to Richard and being burnt because of it, but it is only when we fall down do we stand up and learn how to be stronger as she learns in the final episode.
This season represent a bridge between the fun wild days of the first four season and the more adult and mature world of the sixth season and movie. It also shows that to move on we must standup by ourselves and move forward into whatever murky future lies ahead because only through that do we grow as human beings.

Editorial Review:
Each episode of "Sex and the City" deals with the romantic challenges that single women face when they start seeing the big three oh in the rear view mirror & start finding new suitable mates. These challenges are revealed through the eyes of several friends, each of whom has their own ideas on how to catch Mr. Right. There's Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker), who pushed the envelope of dating & sex in the name of journalism; Samantha (Kim Catrall), a PR Executive who has seen (and done) it all; Charlotte (Kristin Davis), an art dealer who believes love conquers all, despite a tottering marriage; & Miranda (Cynthia Nixon), a lawyer now contemplating motherhood.
