Bones: The Complete Fifth Season

An Explosive, Emotive, and Heart-Pounding Thrill Ride
At the beginning of the fifth season of the wildly popular forensic drama "Bones," many viewers tuned in trepidatiously after the spectacularly strange fourth season finale. Thankfully, all fears were allayed and relieved when the fifth season kicked into high gear in the very first episode and maintained that pace throughout the season; "Bones"' fifth season is perhaps its greatest yet.

The one thing that has always set "Bones" apart from the countless other procedurals on the airwaves right now is the focus on the characters solving the crimes rather than the crimes themselves, and the strength of this approach shines through brilliantly in every episode of this season.

David Boreanaz and Emily Deschanel return to the roles of Booth and Bones and deliver their strongest performances yet as each character is shaken to their core. As Booth struggles to regain his sense of self, he has to confront the knowledge of his feelings for his partner, while Bones herself...

A critical but ignored strength of this amazing show
I absolutely love this show. It might be the most amazingly well-crafted t.v. show ever, along many dimensions. I agree with all of the positive comments of other reviewers. I don't have one negative comment to make, even though, I, too, miss Zach and thought he was a terrific character, well-acted. I even think the Daisy character provides an important role in the balance of the cast, as long as she is not there all the time. No show is complete without little jabs from a distracting annoyance. (Remember Eddie Haskell on "Leave it to Beaver?")
On the other hand, EVERY review that I read left out what, to me, may be the most important dimension of the show. The unspeakable gore and horrifying plots would be meaningless and perhaps sadistic if regarded as entertainment alone. The scientists, each using his or her unique area of expertise, employ the most subtle of clues to recreate an individual's identity and dignity. In addition, often the victim's family and friends...

STILL THE BEST
BONES is far, and away better than all of the other procedurals on the air. The two leads ( Emily Deschanel, and David Boreanaz ) are hands down the best romantic couple around, and the supporting cast is pitch-perfect. The only disappointment I felt about season 5 was that I had half-hoped that Zach might return. The cases are as gruesome as ever, but are never allowed to take away from the developement of the characters. Can't wait for season 6.

The Pink Panther Film Collection (The Pink Panther / A Shot in the Dark / Strikes Again / Revenge of / Trail of the Pink Panther)

Like Old Friends, They're Always Great To See!
Having been a fan of "The Pink Panther" series from childhood, I was ecstatic that this set was being released, as the films are otherwise out of print on DVD (although luckily I still have my trusty VHS copies in reserve). I am tempted to give the set five stars simply because it is a wonderful day to see these films back in print, but realistically I had to take it down a notch as there a couple of negative considerations, the most obvious of which, of course, is the absence of "Return of the Pink Panther" from the collection, ostensibly because of legal hang-ups. Whatever the cause, the absence of the first of the 1970s-era "Panthers" is sorely missed. The other minor negative is the relative absence of special features on the movie DVDs, although the original "Pink Panther" has a wonderful trivia track. I would have really loved commentary tracks with Blake Edwards and some of the actors. I am somewhat ambivalent on the extremely unusual...

Great Collection but......
This is a great collection but there is a big problem, it did not include the best film of the series, "The Return of the Pink Panther (1974)", with this film the collection would have been "Perfect"

Decent package, but missing essential material!
I was very excited when I heard they were releasing a Pink Panther collection on DVD. So much so that I held off on buying any of the currently available individual DVD titles. The day the set arrived I raced home to watch... and disappointment struck.

In the first place, the set does NOT contain RETURN OF THE PINK PANTHER; one of the best/funniest in the series (in my opinion). I now understand this was because of legal/copyright issues, but still a major disappointment. If you buy this set, you will need to go out and purchase Return separately to have all the Sellers' renditions of the film.

Secondly, the other (non-Sellers) films in the series are not included. I wasn't too disappointed about this because Peter Sellers is, in my opinion, what made the Pink Panther series so great, but the other films are pretty decent as well (and this is supposed to be a Pink Panther collection, not necessarily a Peter Sellers collection). Son of the Pink Panther was a...

Awkward: Season Three, Part One

Love it
Amazing show, always keeps me on the edge of my seat. Season three is my favorite of all by far!

Excited.
So happy for this DVD to come out. I love the direction this show is taking. It's the right amount of humour mixed with obsurcity. I am interested to see Jenna's change in direction in life based on this part of the season and the season 3 part 2 promo. I like how she is challenging what she thought was good, and unfortunately, is changing, not necessarily for the better. This show is not afraid to tell it as it is, and I must commend it for that.

Awkward
Awkward isn't "awkward". This is a sharply written, well acted comedy series. While Season 3 wasn't my favorite season, it still was better than most comedies on TV.

Breaking Bad: The Complete Series Box Set [Blu-ray]

Paper or Plastic?
I don't follow a lot of tv shows as my life is busy enough as it is. That being said, I was intrigued enough by what I read in the sunday paper that I stayed up past my bedtime to catch the premier episode. I am also a fan of Brian Cranston from his earlier work on Malcolm in the Middle. I enjoyed the show immensely, and am glad I stayed up for it. Having recently turned 50 myself (as Cranston does in the first episode), the show touched on a number of issues I can relate to. His transformation from hard working, underpaid father to crystal meth artist will be interesting to watch, as will how he deals with his own moral dilemnas.
"I'm awake" he responds, when asked by his new drug partner why he was doing this (making meth). I guess that I will be awake as well, every sunday night to watch how this every day man continues to deal with his epiphany, his awakening. His mortality....

Reading Rainbow Digitized?! It's Amazing!
How can you not love RR and what LeVar Burton has contributed to reading and learning over the last 30 years? So excited to have this available in digital format.

Fantastic show from my youth
Now I get to enjoy it with my kids. I only wish there were more of them. We've watched the 20 or so episodes available many times. Please work to bring more episodes to Amazon!

Love this for my kids as much as I did when I was a kid
I was so excited to see this collection and couldn't wait to show these episodes to my children. I was thrilled to see they enjoyed them as much as I did when I was a kid. Such a classic, educational, and fun show. Highly recommend this collection to anyone with children in their lives or to the young at heart.

The Resident Evil Collection (Resident Evil / Resident Evil: Apocalypse / Resident Evil: Extinction / Resident Evil: Afterlife / Resident Evil: Retribution) [Blu-ray]

You know what these movies do right?
They're ridiculous, they know it, and they don't give a damn what you think. In point of fact, they prefer if you don't think.

Let's get one thing straight, I am a huge fan of the game series. I own Resident Evil 1-5, and I'm probably going to buy 6 soon. I am fully aware that these movies deviate from the games in every way, but for some reason I still love them. They're dumb, stupid fun.

Resident Evil is actually a great movie in and of itself. It's suspenseful, and well made. I appreciate the fact that zombies and other monsters aren't introduced till late in the movie.

Resident Evil: Apocalypse is actually my favorite of the bunch. It's a good action movie, and I think they really captured Nemesis. Great movie, and awesome action.

Resident Evil: Extinction is a little slow, but is ultimately a good movie. The story of this series has never been cohesive, but the plot of this one in particular is just ridiculous. At this point the movies...

Resident Evil Collection Contains 5 Films on Blu-ray
Milla Jovovich deserves better treatment. The Resident Evil Collection includes 5 films on their own disc but a bonus disc would have been appreciated by fans. Afterlife is presented in Blu-ray 3D (but not Retribution 3D sold separately). You also get the 2D version of Afterlife for those who don't own 3D TVs. Overall, the picture quality is average but the audio is very good. The audio formats and subtitles vary by film. This set does have some extras but this is not a deluxe collection for RE fans. There is roughly 6 hours of bonus content for 5 films which is good but not great. If you already own the trilogy be aware that nothing new is added so you may consider buying Afterlife 3D and Retribution 3D in their stand-alone Blu-ray releases. Resident Evil: Damnation (2012) is not included. These are 4 star films in a 3 star package.

At this price, I feel like a thief. Great film series for the price of one 3D Blu-Ray.
5 films for the price of one 3D blu-ray film. It is a steal. I only paid $29.99 at the time and it was something I was not about to pass up considering I enjoyed the RE films. People who are not hardcore RE fans may not enjoy these films as much because knowing the games allows the viewer to pick out little nostalgic pieces they threw into the films that were shown in the video games. The quality of the blu-rays are outstanding though. If you enjoyed the films or are simply a die-hard RE fan, get this. At this price, no matter what, you won't be disappointed.

Sekirei: Complete Series (Blu-ray/DVD Combo)

Two seasons of lovliness - WHEN IS SEASON THREE COMING!!!!!!!
At last the first two seasons of the most enjoyable beauty bashing series is in one full collection. Minato is the most luckless man in the world, until the most lovely girl comes crashing out of the sky. She is cute, she is busty, and she can break stone walls with a single punch. Musibi is a fist type sekerei and she has taken the normal man and made him her master. But Minato can not rest on being happy with one lovely young lady - five others also choose him to turn on their special powers and together prepare to fight to the end of the Sekirei project and the one wish that the Sekirei and master get to have when they win.

This is the first two seasons, and despite the high Ecchi level has a great story, a lot of action and humor, and a few heart wrenching moments. I already have seen both season three times and it never get old. Now with the end of season two, there has to be a season three as we need to know who will finally win the whole thing. Watch it for...

Should have known there would be a two pack.
I bought both seasons separately. I could have saved some money if i waited. If you have Netflix, watch the first season. If you are not hooked by the end, then skip this show, but i was hooked. I have not even watched the second season yet. I plan on it, though.

A Great Harem Anime Series (We need a Season 3!!)
I originally saw this series on Netflix and I enjoyed it right away. The plot, characters, originality, ecchi humor, chemistry, music and anxiety for future episodes are all blended well together.

This anime was based on a manga with the same name. "Sekirei" literally means "Wagtail," a species of bird (look it up). The anime follows the manga rather well, even though it's not a complete replica. If you've read the manga, you should definitely watch the anime (and vice versa).

This Blu-ray/DVD combo is definitely worth the money. You have all the episodes from both seasons, along with commentaries from the Funimation voice actors, trailers and OVAs.

Personally, I have always preferred the subbed version over the dubbed version. For me, it's hard to take the dubbed version seriously when you hear some corny dialogue. Still, it's worth seeing at least once.

According to the commentaries, Season 3 has been announced but no one knows for sure...
