My Thoughts:
This is a good movie... not the best one I ever seen... but definitely worth checking out. I would say try to catch it on cable... or rent it first before you commit to buying it. But over all... I am glad I have it in my collection.

Genre: War, Drama, Adventure

Overview:Lawrence of ArabiaLawrence of Arabia; 1957, The Bridge on the River KwaiLawrence of Arabia can now be experienced like never before in this landmark 50th Anniversary Edition.

My Thoughts:
One of the true masterpieces of cinema. Also a personal favorite. There is nothing I can say that hasn't been said already, no praise high enough. I have no criticism of this film. Every part is magnificent. One of the finest films ever made.

The blu-ray transfer is magnificent; this beautiful film has never looked better.  It's so far above my old copies on DVD and VHS that it's another planet.  The restoration is spectacular, especially with all the missing parts of the film put back in.  I do wish that the audio transfer hadn't made the score quite so loud in comparison to the much softer vocals, but that's my only complaint here.  Maybe that would be fixed if we had surround rather than stereo.  Loads and loads of extras here in the limited edition that I look forward to checking out later.

Highly recommended for all film lovers.  An absolutely essential film.  Skip this only if you don't have the attention span for a four hour epic.  In which case I feel very, very sorry for you.  One of the BEST films of all time.

Bechdel Test:  Fail

Overall: 5/5

The Big Bang Theory: The Complete Sixth Season, a review by addicted2dvd

The Big Bang Theory: The Complete Sixth Season Wikipedia |IMDb |Trailer/Intro | Whether on or above Earth, hilarity is outrageously universal in TV's most popular comedy featuring four forward-thinking but socially backward geniuses. Fun discoveries multiply: Leonard learns jealousy is bad for a relationship (with Penny) but science is good for seduction (of Penny). Howard finds life in the International Space Station is no escape from terrestrial turmoil between his overbearing mom and his new wife Bernadette. Raj meets someone special who may be a good match, if only he can keep her from fleeing mid-date. Even Sheldon learns a few things: a) what not to say when called in to meet the university's employee's relations director, b) what happens to childhood TV idols and c) that a Dungeons & Dragons adventure can be the icebreaker his relationship with Amy needs. For those who need laughter with scientific regularity, this 2-disc, 24-episode Season Six set of The Big Bang Theory will rock your cosmos. Episodes: 1. The Date Night Variable 2. The Decoupling Fluctuation 3. The Higgs Boson Observation 4. The Re-Entry Minimization 5. The Holographic Excitation 6. The Extract Obliteration 7. The Habitat Configuration 8. The 43 Peculiarity 9. The Parking Spot Escalation 10. The Fish Guts Displacement 11. The Santa Simulation 12. The Egg Salad Equivalency 13. The Bakersfield Expedition 14. The Cooper/Kripke Inversion 15. The Spoiler Alert Segmentation 16. The Tangible Affection Proof 17. The Monster Isolation 18. The Contractual Obligation Implementation 19. The Closet Reconfiguration 20. The Tenure Turbulence 21. The Closure Alternative 22. The Proton Resurgence 23. The Love Spell Potential 24. The Bon Voyage Reaction

Well that is it. I already finished watching this set. Another great season filled with laugh out loud moments. I really couldn't suggest this series high enough. I feel safe in saying this show is my favorite current sitcom... if not my all-time favorite sitcom. I always find it so easy to watch this show. No matter how long ago I seen the episode before. Matter of fact (while I am not going to do it... I could easily start at season 1 again now.... and re-watch all 6 seasons again. This season while probably not my favorite season... is definitely up there... a must see!
