DVD Review: The Simpsons Season 12
BEST. DVD COLLECTION. EVER.
One night in April of 1987, my brother Dan insisted that the whole family stop whatever we were doing to watch some show I’d never even heard of called The Tracey Ullman Show. One of us must have grumbled about it, because he launched into a defensive explanation immediately.
DVD Review: Death Note, L change the WorLd
The Death Note franchise takes on the question of what L did with his last 23 days. Of course this storyline is unique to the live action series, not the manga or anime series. Death Note: L change the World is fun, fantastic, full of action and lots and lots of L being L.

DVD Review: Kaze no Stigma, Volume 2-Fire
Highlights
The second and final volume of Kaze No Stigma provides 12 episodes that do help tie the series together but at the same time leaves us wondering… why? The first 5 episodes cover the budding relationship between Kazuma and Ayano. Or should I say, the goofy ways Ayano's Father try to get them together. They also introduce the new character, Katherine McDonald, who is also a Fire user from America out to prove that her family is tops in the Fire world.

DVD Review: Dragon Ball Z: The History of Trunks review
Trunks, as everyone knows, beat an opponent that Goku had trouble taking out. Who he was and where he came from was only slightly touched upon in the main run of Dragonball Z and you were never told the whole story. Well, Dragonball Z: The History of Trunks tells the story of when he came to be and the future he came from.
DVD Review: G.I. JOE The Complete Series
Originally airing in the early 1980s when Hasbro re-launched its classic toy line of military action heroes, this series introduced characters with unique personalities and his or her own military specialty. It was basically a 30-minute commercial but I loved every minute of it. I haven’t seen any of these episodes since watching them after school in youth. I may be clouded by nostalgia but I get a kick out of reliving the adventures of Duke, Scarlett, Snake Eyes, Flint, Lady Jaye and rest of the Joe team.
DVD Review : Sons of Anarchy Season 1
So, when you need to have a cutting edge subject to formulate a drama around, who do you think of? I know that one of the most public of street gangs, the motorcycle club, didn’t spring to the top of the list. But with great writing and excellent casting, Fox has pulled it off with Sons of Anarchy.

DVD Review: Devil May Cry: The Animated Series, The Complete Series.

DVD Review: Flight of the Conchords: The Complete Second Season
Flight of the Conchords is one of those shows that, though many of your friends may be into it as well, still feels like it’s “your show”. The series is based around New Zealand’s comedy-folk-hip-hop duo, Flight of the Conchords, and their struggles to make it big (or play a paying gig) in New York. What sets Flight of the Conchords apart from other comedy TV shows is the plot-relevant music videos seamlessly intertwined into the story of each episode.
DVD Review: I Love You, Man
The term 'bromance' has become steadily more accepted in pop culture thanks to favored heterosexual mates for life like Joey and Chandler from Friends, Silent Bob and Jay from Kevin Smith movies, and then Judd Apatow's stream of buddy flicks. Bromance is about the love between two straight men who are extremely close to one another, almost to the point of parodying an actual romance. In April the newest bromance comedy was released starring Paul Rudd and Jason Segel, titled aptly I Love You, Man. Hilarious and full of heart, the film did very well in the theaters with a generally high review rate from critics. It is now out on DVD and Blu-ray, so it's time to cue your Rush music on your iPod and slappah de bass!
