DVD Review: Red Dwarf: Back to Earth
Nine years later… Later than what, we don’t know… but Red Dwarf is back and it is as good as ever. I first watched the series in the early 90’s and I have loved it ever since. Red Dwarf is a rare case in which a synthesis of Sci-fi and sitcom actually worked, and actually survived for as long as it did. Many other shows that tried to do what Red Dwarf did came and went during the run of the show, including an American version of the show. They even tried to bring over Kryten. Seeing as this show had lasted for so long, and the fans are clamoring for new Dwarf this seemed like the perfect opportunity to put out a new set of episodes, since the Red Dwarf movie had fallen into development hell so long ago.
DVD Review: Claymore: The Complete Series
Sexy women who are half-beast or demons, fight other demons with really big swords in order to protect humans. Claymore covers the life of these women who have been trained to be cold blooded killing machines that only want to die as a human rather than as a monster. The catch is that for them to be able to fight these demons, they must use their demon powers and the more they do that, the more they become the very demons they want to destroy. What a dilemma!
