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

Vinnie and the Boys...take 1 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

This is clever,sexy, and overall very, very addicting!!! I loved this show from the first episode. This is a guilty pleasure that all guys should take in. There's hot woman, plenty of herbal indulgence, and all the drinks you can kick back.
Adrian Grenier is Vincent Chase, a up and coming actor who's keeping it old school with his loyalty to his friends and brother, taking them along for the rollercoaster ride that is his acting career. Every girl seemingly is charmed by Vince...his life is right out of a bachelors fairytale! Let your mind wander freely...
I can't make up my mind who my favorite character is but "E" is 1 of 2 characters I love. Kevin Connelly plays Eric, Vince's best friend turned manager...He doesn't put up with with anybody's crap, hard nosed and hopelessly destined to fall in love with whoever he talks to for more than a week..."E" keeps it real thru the whole fantasy world of Entourage with probably the most believable of the characters( you can see K.C. getting decked by Stallones boy in Rocky 5)"E" evolves into Vinces manger as the series evolves...
Kevin Dillon is the ever annoying Johnny "Drama", Vinces half brother who is always looking to snag Vince's coat tails to keep his "B" level acting career going...he's a trip conming equipped with the most quirky personality on the show...he knows no shame and is officially the cook for the crew...
Jerry Ferrara, who palys the role of "Turtle", the mooch of tag a long...but he is about as cool as anyone can be in this role!!! Always looking for the angle to get hooked up on Vinces Celebrity status, Turtle is the wise cracking side kick type who adds the smart a@@ banter that keeps you laughing and keeps you watching...he is officially Vince's Driver...I'd love that job!!!
Ari Gold is my other favorite character played to a tee by Jeremy Piven...he so often type casted as the nerdy sidekick or villan as he was in "Old School" but not anymore...Piven has broken that cycle playing Vinces "ULTRA CRASS" agent. Ari is always in the mix of the main plot, trying to get the big pay day for Vince in the form of his first breakout movie role. I love Ari...he's hard to stomach but then at times so am I...birds of a feather i guess???!
This 1st series is funny and grabs a hold of you in anticipation for season 2...

VICTORY!! - Drama 5 out of 5 stars.
8 of 8 people found this review helpful.

The gang is back and this time around Vinny is going to be in the newest hit movie "Aquaman" directed by James Cameron. Vinny's co-star for Aquaman will be Mandy Moore. Come to find out, Vinny's heart was crushed by Mandy on the movie `A Walk to Remember'. Yep... our woman hungry movie star Vinny at one time actually had his heart broken. He was in love. Mandy is now happily engaged to someone else and all she wants to be with Vinny is friends. Or does she. Ah, gotta love some good drama. Speaking of drama, Johnny Drama is headed to Comic Con to dress up as his old character from Viking Quest (think of the old TV show Hercules) and sign autographs and make a few bucks. Vince is going to promote his movie so of course Turtle and Eric go also. But here at Comic Con, the tides have changed and Johnny is the big star. He's got hot women all over him and everyone wants to talk to him. Turtle later on finds an up and coming music star and wants to manage him, even though the guy stole Vince's car. E finds new love in Ari Gold's boss's daughter.

Now even though the gang is a good group of guys and actors, I think if someone else would have played their characters (from the beginning of the show), we would still be laughing (maybe not Drama though). I have one exception though and that is Ari Gold who is played by Jeremy Piven. The guy is a genius. Just about all of his lines are a godsend to the show whether they are crude, witty, loving, mad, scared, sarcastic, or genuine, they are all great lines. Most of the time funny as hell lines. His actions are another thing that's great about him because he seems to be a big ball of energy that's about to explode. I've always liked him in just about everything he's been in, but he has really found himself in this show.

One other guy I'd like to mention is the newcomer Lloyd. Ari's new assistant. I didn't think I was going to like him that much, but he has brought a LOT of comedy to this show. Main reason for that is because he's Asian and he's gay. So now Ari has even more ammunition for his onslaught of mean sarcasm. And because Lloyd is a man, Ari is a little harder on him than if he was a woman. But Lloyd is VERY feminine and will cry and get hurt and will just ignore Ari if he wants to which aggravates Ari even more. You can't help but root for Lloyd almost all of the time. Such a great new character.

When it comes to the jokes and glamour, not much has changed, but that's good. The writing is still hilarious and very witty. The show is full of guest cameos which are great if you are a big movie fan like I am. I believe season 2 is better than season 1 and I really liked season 1. This show honestly gets better as it get older.

Highly recommended.

Amazing show, immensely entertaining! 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

I stumbled on an episode of this show and have been hooked ever since. The characters are down to earth and loyal to each other, which is not something you see in the drama-filled reality series that television is so fond of lately. I have bought all three seasons and am patiently waiting for season 4 to come out on DVD and season 5 to start! It's an addiction, but a healthy one:).

love it!!!! 5 out of 5 stars.

just another attempt to leave you hanging. I am the only one that thinks it shouldn't take three years to put the DVD out?

As good as season 2 5 out of 5 stars.

Season 3 part 2 is awesome. I had season 1 and 2, so decided to buy the missing ones. Season 3 part 1 kind of let me down as it was not nearly as witty as season 2, which left me on a high note. Luckily Season 3 part 2 (effectively season 4) is as good as season 2. Ari Gold, who is really the center piece of this series has some great lines, the rest of the characters grow in their own areas and start having personalities of their own which makes the series that more enjoyable. This is a great buy and will leave you craving for season 4.

The more things change the more they stay the same 4 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I finally watched this movie as a rental and liked it surprisingly better than I expected.

I liked it enough to buy it used from Blockbuster for $10, if that says anything...

It's long. And parts of it are a little corny, but the kind of corny that serious fans of the show will be able to overlook without a second thought. It seemed to me that a few of the actors have had some face work done. It looks tacky but when they're dressed like a million bucks, who really cares.

Girlfriends who drop their lives on a moment's notice to fly with you to Mexico don't really exist, and wouldn't we all love to live like Samantha Jones and have the freedom to jet back and forth every other weekend from LA to NYC?? But see, that's the point. You gotta watch the movie knowing it's all about fun and not much about reality.

In the end I guess that's why it's so darn satisfying...
and keeps us always wanting for more.
At the very least, my Carrie craving has been satiated for at least another two years... when they finally come out with another sequel!

Two Seperate Packages 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Personally, this is the beginning of the flourishing of the careers of all those crazy guys (except for Ari). What I don't fully understand is how they would sell this season in two parts like that. To make more money? Still, this is a great addition to a wonderful series.

clever and funny 5 out of 5 stars.

My husband and I ration episodes because we enjoy this show so much. The characters (esp. Drama and Turtle) are likable and the stories are witty.

I love this show! 5 out of 5 stars.

I don't have HBO but I love this show. I bought a bunch of the DVD's after I gave birth to my daughter and needed something to watch while she was sleeping/nursing. It reminds me of Sex in the City in some ways, except more for guys but I simply adore Ari, one of the main characters. I love this show.

The boys are back! 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This installment of my favorite show did not disappoint. Turtle, E, Drama and Vince are back and up to their same ol' antics. I recommend this series to anyone who is looking for a great new show to watch.

Best Season So Far! By Far! 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Seriously, this season makes the first two look silly! It was so much fun to watch. You will love watching Ari and his office drama, while Vince holds all of the chips in the relationship. The gang has their own problems, but Vince is living large, and Ari is sweating bullets. It is entertaining and extremely fun. You will have a blast with this season!

My only negative comment is that I hate the fact that they broke season 3 into two parts (basically because it is just annoying). I will tell you that you should buy both parts of season 3 at once, so that you can enjoy it more fluidly than I did.

Have fun!

Short Review From someone who never saw BOB before~ 5 out of 5 stars.
9 of 10 people found this review helpful.

First of all let me just say that i have never seen Band of brothers before so I'm not a blind fanboy or anything like that , and because I'm not an american so i thought this mini series is not going to be interesting to me , However this mini series is highly praised everywhere and it have 9.6 score on IMDB plus it won the Golden Globe award and Emmy as the BEST series made for TV , so i said to myself lets give it try

So far i have seen only 5 episodes on the BLU-RAY and i have to say that the picture quality is insanely good i own over 30 Blu ray movies and series like Planet Earth, Band of brothers picture quality beat every movie i have ever seen ,yes even Disney Blu rays like pirates, the colors is perfect and its crystal clear, its just UNREAL how good its, i was really surprised i didn't expect TV series picture quality to beat Movies picture quality (Its simply the Best picture quality so far on blu ray to me, but sometimes picture quality jump from crystal clear to "extremely" Grainy on some parts which is intended i believe)

Blu-ray.com reviewed the series today also and gave the picture quality 5/5 and everything else 5/5 kinda XD

I have only seen 5 episodes so far! and i don't want it to end ;( that's why i'm watching it slowly, to be honest i have always hated and avoided World war Movies because to me they are boring as hell, i have heard the story god damn million time in books/video games and Hollywood movies even school books and most of the times each version of the movie is different so you don't know which version is real or accurate about what happened in the world war 2 because a lot of movie directors change events and make them different to sell tickets, but with band of brothers the men who went to the war speaks to you and tell you there REAL story "there is picture in picture mode where you can watch the movie and small screen like 1/4 of the TV pop and the Real people who was at the event speaks and its optional"

Band of brothers is a masterpiece its Story,Characters,Script, Events,Sound is too good plus its very emotional story.... i don't know where to start about this series it just blow my mind from its goodness

I hope this review was helpful to you

I just didn't like it 1 out of 5 stars.
1 of 11 people found this review helpful.

I feel it is necessary for me to express a negative view on this TV mini-series that is somewhat legit and reasonable, unlike those found here.

Band of Brothers has wonderful cinematography and very impressive production values, but the stories just doesn't hold my interest through the whole thing, and yes I know they're real stories. I enjoy Enemy At The Gates, The Deer Hunter, and the first-half of Full Metal Jacket, so it's not like I wanted more action. It's just that both the action scenes and the drama scenes do not reach out to me. People say that BoB is so realistic you feel like you're there in the battlefield. Well to me, I wanted to go to sleep. I didn't feel like I was there in combat with these men, otherwise I would be wide awake and on the edge of my seat. I just felt bored out of mind.

I thought I would be in for a wonderful cinematic experience. After all, when people claim that "every episode is a masterpiece" and "BoB is the best damn television I have ever seen," how could you possibly go wrong? People love it so much, they recommend it to everybody, even those who hate war movies. It's also recommended to people who enjoy Saving Private Ryan. I mean, all the signs were there... they were all pointing to this as something that I should thoroughly enjoy. But after the first episode, I just lost interest.

Despite my lack of interest, I was looking forward to "Bastogne" and "Why We Fight" anyways because everyone was talking about it. When I watched "Bastogne" I felt disappointed. It just didn't live up to the hype that people were claiming it to be. I was anticipating "Why We Fight" because many viewers mentioned the "hair-raising experience" of the episode and how just this one episode warranted "an Academy Award" on its own. So of course I was excited, and like "Bastogne" the concentration camp episode didn't move me at all. I felt no emotions when the gates open, and I'm a sentimental person okay... I cried when Mufasa died in The Lion King.

The series jump from character to character but there are a handful of main characters that they focus on. The problem with me is that I just don't care about them. The only real life soldier who I enjoyed viewing is Capt. Speirs. He was just too cool to ignore. If there was more of him, I would give this mini a higher rating.

Now, when people herald Band of Brothers as the greatest television EVER, and that every episode is a MASTERPIECE... that means a lot to me. I don't know whether it was the hype that made me give this series a terrible rating, or if it was the realism. Maybe I have a problem with realistic movies, I don't know but certainly the realistic aspect of Band of Brothers didn't make me appreciate it that much more.

Since this is a subjective review, I give Band of Brothers one star because I watched the entire series so that it can lend credibility to my opinion. If I have to give an objective review, then I wouldn't bother rating this. Plus, I watched many of the episodes a couple of times (Currahee thrice, Bastogne twice, Why We Fight twice, Crossing Point twice, and Points twice) just to make sure that I didn't really like it and that it wasn't just because I had a bad day when I viewed it the first time. But in truth, I didn't like any of the episodes.

I would also like to say that when people claim Band of Brothers as the best television they have ever seen, I hope they're joking because I would rather watch Futurama, Animaniacs, The Wire, Oz, The Sopranos or even Seinfeld than Band of Brothers. I build myself up to disappointment I guess.

Overall, I did not enjoy my viewing experience with Band of Brothers. I would recommend this, however, to everyone else because everyone else seems to love it... but this just isn't for me.

I saw the original movie while in the theaters, and then saw the Special Edition on DVD. I loved the movie either way it was viewed; however, I can say I enjoyed the Special Edition a little more because of the extra scenes that gave more to the movie.

Terrific 5 out of 5 stars.

Perfect for the ones who have followed the seasons, but a little racy for the kids. Loved every minute of it.

Sex and the City - The Movie (Widescreen Edition) I didn't expect to like this movie and was pleasantly surprised. It had all the same emotion and fun of the TV series. The stars remained true to the characters they had created for television and we watched them grow into their new lives and still remaining best friends. The men in their lives understood this sisterhood and embrassed it, therefore becoming integral to these women. All said I have watched this movie three or four times so far and all of my girl friends have equally enjoyed it. Give it a 4 star, hands down.
