Plot:
Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie original debuted as super-short spots on the popular TRACEY ULLMAN SHOW in 1987--and proved so popular that they soon graduated to their own series, THE SIMPSON, on Fox. A mixture of zany action and pop culture satire, the show was a huge hit--and some twenty years later is still going strong.

THE SIMPSONS MOVIE finds the family in their usual spate of comic chaos, including Grandpa's prophecy at church and Homer's acquisition of a pet pig. Unfortunately, when Homer dumps a silo full of pig crap into Lake Springfield, rendering it toxic, he attracts the attention of the EPA and makes Grandpa's prophecy come true. Is Springfield domed? Er, doomed?


Extras:
1. Two Audio Commentaries
2. Deleted Scenes and Slightly Alternate Ending
3. Special Stuff (Homer on The Tonight Show, On American Idol, etc.)
4. A Lot of Trailers

My Thoughts
It's been awhile since I've seen a recent episode of The Simpsons...some people think the show has run its course, while others think it's still very entertaining.  This movie is much the same way...some found it hilarious while others just thought it was more of the same.  All I know is I laughed at it...quite a bit.  In fact, rewatching the trailers just now, I laughed out loud again.  If you enjoy The Simpsons as much as I do, I'm sure you'll have a good time so go ahead and run out and get it.  Or, as President Arnold Schwarzenegger says in the movie, "I was elected to lead...not to read!"

Overview	The thrills never let up as James Bond dives into this riveting adventure filled with explosive confrontations and amazing underwater action! Sean Connery brings his characteristic style and magnetism to agent 007 as he travels to Nassau to track down a villainous criminal who is threatening to plunge the world into a nuclear holocaust.
My thoughts	Thunderball THAT is scary! But all in all it's still a very satisfying film. Few of the following Bond films would be as good as the four first ones, in my opinion. But my Bond marathon will go on regardless.

Tom's Random Reviews, a review by Tom

Title: Corner Gas: Season Six

Director:
Rating: NR
Length: 420 Min.
Video: Anamorphic Widescreen 1.78
Audio: English: Dolby Digital 5.1, English: Dolby Digital Stereo
Subtitles:

Plot:
How do we Canadians say farewell to a dear friend? We tap a keg and wake up the next morning on a stranger's futon. The morning haze will be flooded with memories of Brent switching to self serve; Oscar, Emma and Lacey canoodling in the new hot tub; how Davis landed himself in sensitivity training by Karen's hand; and when Wanda and Hank found themselves 'celebrities' during the Turn Off Your TV Week competition against Wullerton (spit). And did you dream it, or did a mighty wind blow the sign right off the roof of The Ruby? Yes, maybe you should have stopped at nine, but for now, don't hold back. Chug! Chug! Chug! Cheers to six hilarious seasons of great Canuck-O-Vision. You'll never look at Sasketchewan the same way again - or that new friend's futon.

Extras:
Closed Captioned
Featurettes
Interviews
Scene Access

A good final season. Some really fun episodes in it. And a very fitting series finale. Like the series, life goes on as usual for the characters. I liked the fact, that they hinted here to come full circle, but didn't: Corner Gas is based on the stand-up by Brett Butt. In this episode, Brent Butt character found success as a stand-up (talking about daily life of our characters). But in the end he decided this isn't for him. If he had continued so, it probably would have led to a Corner Gas series inside the Corner Gas universe.
