Lakeview Terrace, a review by addicted2dvd

Lakeview Terrace
A young couple (Patrick Wilson and Kerry Washington) has just moved into their California dream home when they become the target of their next-door neighbor, who disapproves of their relationship. A stern, single father, this tightly wound LAPD officer (Samuel L. Jackson) has appointed himself the watchdog of the neighborhood. His nightly foot patrols and overly watchful eyes bring comfort to some, but he becomes increasingly aggressive to the newlyweds. These persistent intrusions into their lives cause the couple to fight back.

Stars:
Kerry Washington
Samuel L. Jackson
Jay Hernandez
Patrick Wilson

My Thoughts:
This one I watched on Starz On-Demand. It is one I enjoyed quite a bit. I did find the beginning a little slow but that is to be expected with this story line. And it really does work for it. Samuel L. Jackson done a great job as always. I am definitely planning on adding this one to my collection.

Pixar has yet to disappoint me (except maybe "A Bug's Life", but I will have to revisit it again sometime, before I can make a real call on that). The story is funny and has a great love-story in it. The animation is awesome! This is what Blu-ray and HD is made for

Also the two bonus shorts "Presto" and "Burn-E" are great. Especially "Presto".

8 Simple Rules: The Complete First Season, a review by addicted2dvd

8 Simple Rules: The Complete First Season (2002/United States) Legendary sitcom stars John Ritter and Katey Sagal team up in 8 Simple Rules, ABC's hit family comedy that is laugh-out-loud funny.

A little rusty in the parenting department, Paul is forced to meet fatherhood head-on when his wife Cate returns to work. Two teenage daughters and a wisecracking son make Paul's new situation daunting but never dull. Cybill Shepherd, Jason Priestley and Terry Bradshaw are just some of the guest stars joining the fun in Season One. Experience all 28 episodes, plus exclusive bonus features, including a hilarious bonus reel, in this sensational 3-disc set. Episodes: 1. Pilot 2. Wall of Shame 3. Bridget's First Job 4. Wings 5. Son-in-Law 6. Cheerleaders 7. Trick or Treehouse 8. By the Book 9. Two Boys for Every Girl 10. Give It Up 11. Paul Meets His Match 12. All I Want for Christmas 13. Rory's Got a Girlfriend 14.

Last night I finished off this set... and enjoyed every minute of it. I have been a fan of John Ritter every since first seeing him in Three's Company. And I been a fan of Kaley Cuoco for a bit now as well. I found this series to be a lot of fun... contains lots of laughs. It is a shame we lost John Ritter at the beginning of the second season. Despite that loss I want to add the second season to my collection... hopefully before too long so I can see how the show went on without him. This first season set has a surprising high number of episodes considering it isn't that old of a series. Favorite episode of this season? I guess I would have to go with Come and Knock On Our Door where they poke a little fun at Three's Company. Where John Ritter's character has a dream that both daughters are living with one guy... and he is in the place of Mr. Roper. It even looks like the same exact apartment from Three's Company. I thought it was a clever thing to do... was a lot of fun to watch. The only real extra on this set is a Blooper Reel. But if we were only going to get one extra on this set... I am glad we got this... as I had just as many laughs watching this short Blooper Reel as I did the entire season of the show. And that is saying a lot! The Blooper Reel made it look like they had a blast on the set working with John Ritter as it seemed he made the set a lot of fun to work on. If you never seen this series you should definitely give it a chance!
