"Just a Pocketful of Sunshine" Natasha Bedingfield Pocketful Of Sunshine Review

This review is from: Pocketful of Sunshine (Audio CD) by Natasha Bedingfield

"I gotta pocket, gotta pocketful of sunshine" That is the beginning to the title track of Natasha Bedingfield's 2nd album. The album itself really is a pocketful of sunshine. The vibrant, poppy tone that is mixed with a good message is part of what makes Ms. Bedingfield's music so enjoyable. The opening track "Put Your Arms Around Me" shows that the album is going to be good. With all of the songs mixed together, it is evident that Natasha didn't hit the "sophomore slump." However, each song is different. A different beat, almost a different genre. Each song manages to tell a story in a new, wonderful way. Whether it is the jazzy tone of "Peace of Your Heart" or the reggae-like beat of "Love Like This" the album puts you in a great mood.

The Second Half of Eureka On DVD

It's certainly been long enough, but Eureka Season 3.5 will be released on DVD on June 20th, 2010. I really love the show, but the half season releases are pretty annoying. Yeah, I'll buy the DVD because I didn't really see season 3.5, but really just put a 4 disc set out!

"Betty Goes Bye-Bye" Ugly Betty Season 4 Review

It was Thursday night in September. The weather was nice, not too cold, not too warm. TV on the other hand, well, at that point its Thursday line-up had a lot to be desired. So I turned on Wheel of Fortune to see if the woman who was up $10,000 would hit the bankrupt slot or guess that the answer was "Granny's Homemade Apple Pie." Usually I would flip through the channels during commercial breaks, but like I said there was nothing else on. And then I saw a commercial that caught my attention. Popping up on the screen of my television was a 20-some odd girl with big blue braces, red glasses, and frizzy hair. "Ugly Betty! The world premiere at 8/7 central!" the narrator declared. And I decided to watch. 9 months 11 months later I found myself purchasing Ugly Betty - The Complete First Season and then 14 months later I purchased Ugly Betty: The Complete Second Season and then a year and a half later I purchased Ugly Betty: Season 3 and then I found myself watching season season 4.

And it wasn't too long before I found myself reading on Wikipedia that the brilliant, award-winning show was cancelled by ABC. Once again, ABC cancelled a great show. At least we got four seasons out of this one. But before I continue I just have to put this out there, SPOILER ALERT! In season 4 we open up with Betty getting her braces removed, but of course it was just a dream. We see her getting her new job has a junior-editor. We see her getting back together with Matt (with whom she broke up with in the season 3 finale). And as we go on further into the season seeing her house burn down. We see a lot more, and with only four episodes left, I just hope that "Ugly Betty" ends as good as it began.

And now to the DVD. The box set will most likely consist of 5 discs. Special features will probably include commentary, either video or audio, featurettes, and webisodes of "Mode After Dark."

"Welcome to the Deep End" The Deep End Season 1 Review

This review is from: The Deep End (DVD)

ABC is infamous for some pretty good law shows (Boston Legal, The Practice). So for me, The Deep End had some pretty high expectations to live up two. And it surpassed everyone. Although the first season was only 6 episodes, it was able to make its mark on me. The show begins with 5 law school graduates applying to become lawyers at Sterling, Huddle, Oppenheim & Craft. They all get the job, but they soon realize that working at Sterling is going to be anything but easy. Let's just hope that this show isn't cancelled prematurely like the other great shows on ABC.

Now to the DVD. Here is what we know, the season is 6 episodes long. This means that most likely the DVD set will be 1 or 2 discs. In the special features section, commentaries will almost definantly be included. This is because ABC already includes the option to watch the episodes on their website with commentary.

"An Extra Ordinary Series" Extras Review

This review is from: Extras: The Complete Series (Includes Series Finale) (DVD)

*Before you read anymore of this review, please excuse the corny pun in the title* I was hesitant about watching this series, mainly because I didn't see much of Rickey Gervais' work, but hte work I saw I didn't like that much. But when some of the episodes were on HBO I started to watch. And I started to laugh. The show was very funny. Whether it was the bubbly and eager additude of Andy (Gervais) or the bumbling wit of Maggie (Ugly Betty's Ashley Jensen). As for the DVD itself, the packaging persists of nice artwork in an accessible style. Inside of the package is seasons (or series) one and two and the "Extra Special" series finale. Each season contains 6 episodes. Each season features those six episodes on two discs. The quality of the picture is outstanding. If you are, or were, a fan of the show this purchase is definitely worth it.

"Psych! Psych Season 4 Review

This review is from: Psych: The Complete Fourth Season (DVD)

What can I say about such a series, I could call it funny, witty, and wonderful. But using these words almost under-minds how great a show Psych is. It has such interesting, funny plot lines that may keep you on the edge of your seat while laughing. The show follows fake-psychic detective Shawn Spencer has he solves cases for the police department as well as others. But he can't do this alone. He gets help from his reluctant partner Gus, Junior Detective Juliet O'Hara, his dad Henry, extremely doubting detective Carlton Lassiter, and police chief Karen Vick. Season 4, itself, starts out with a great opener (Episode 4.1 Expedition British Columbia) in which Gus and Shawn take a trip to Canada for some fun, but Shawn can't help but to solve another crime using his fake psychic and real detective skills. And then there are more great episodes. But one of my personal favorites is episode 4.7 High Top Fade Out, where we learn a little more about Gus. We learn that he was in a college acapella band. And things get a little crazy when one of his ex-band mates is murdered. And then the fall finale episode 4.9 Shawn Takes a Shot in the Dark. Maybe the most exciting episodes in the series, the fall finale shows Shawn being kidnapped by- well I won't ruin the surprise for you- and everyone of his friends and co-workers pool together to find him and solve the case.

But this isn't just a review of the season, but a review of the DVD. Well, that is kind of hard when the DVD hasn't even been released. But there are some things that we do know. The first thing is that the box set will be 16 episodes on 4 discs (4 episodes on each disc). If Universal is consistent with the last three box sets, there will be commentaries on select episodes. And podcast commentaries on other select episodes. Then gag reels and psych-outs.
