Joss Whedon attempted to follow up his successful series Buffy the Vampire Slayer with the science fiction-themed Firefly. Although the series failed to garner a mass audience, it did have a loyal following. Those fans will be pleased by this box set that contains every episode of the series that aired, as well as three never-before-seen episodes. All 15 episodes are presented in anamorphic widescreen. English, French, and Spanish soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital Surround. Commentaries are available on four of the episodes. Production featurettes, a blooper reel, and a tour of the set with Whedon round out this solid package that should be of interest to genre enthusiasts as well as Whedon's fans.

Another show that received an undeserved cancellation too early from the network that refused to air the episodes in the original order. Joss Whedon struck another hit with this 'Space Western'. With a great cast and the same witty banter you have come to expect from his shows, we can only hope that Firefly will make a comeback someday. A must see for anyone, in my opinion.

This was a great show that Fox underestimated. I loved it when it was on and was so sad to hear that it was cancelled and I would not get to find out what happened! Thankfully this DVD set was released, abounding with unaired episodes for those who stuck with the show and gave it a small following. A unique show in today's reality-driven world, give it a chance and you won't be disappointed.

This is the best mmorpg to date. I have played this game since the beta limited testing and it never failed to keep my interest. It has plenty of quests to do, zones to discover, and adventures to have. It even has a draw for women (being a female gamer myself, this was important). Easy to get into and understand, this game is for everyone. I can only hope that the popularity of WoW will create a drive for an even better new game!

I got this game for Christmas (with my DS) and I love it!! It has really improved my peripheral vision especially. The exercises are fun too, so it is more like playing a game then training your eyes. I recommend this to ANYONE!! :)
Season 1 of the crime drama begins with forensic anthropologist Temperance "Bones" Brennan (Emily Deschanel) back in D.C. after months away identifying genocide victims. Agent Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz) promptly hijacks her to help him with a case. Brennan initially refuses, but her boss at the Jeffersonian Institute, Dr. Daniel Goodman (Jonathan Adams), insists that part of her job is being lent out to the FBI. She agrees to work with Booth, but only if she can be his partner in all areas of the cases. The first of these cases establishes the premise for the next 21 episodes. After a body surfaces, the remains are transferred to the Jeffersonian, where Brennan and her devoted "squints" leap to action. Brennan's team includes her assistant, the socially inept but brilliant Zack Addy (Eric Millegan); bugs and slime expert Dr. Jack Hodgins (T.J. Thyne); and her best friend, forensic artist Angela Montenegro (Michaela Conlin). The main suspect turns out to be a powerful senator, but despite warnings from the FBI to stay away, Brennan continues with her investigation. Throughout the season, Brennan and Booth are devoted to uncovering the truth, repeatedly finding themselves in dangerous situations and relying on each other for backup. Booth eventually confides to Brennan that he wants to bring closure to victims' loved ones to make up for the lives he took in his sniper past. Brennan, meanwhile, is dedicated to identifying the deceased as a result of the mysterious disappearance of her parents years ago. The duo work together to solve crimes involving small-town cannibals, promiscuous private-school teens and a homeless society in an underground tunnel. As each case draws to a close, the bantering pair grow more intimate, a closeness heightened during the season finale, when unearthed bones provide a link to Brennan's past that may reunite her with the family she thought was lost forever.

In a time when a lot of good shows were being cancelled or ending their long runs, along came Bones. I only started watching it because of David Boreanaz, but quickly fell in love with the CSI-ness of the show. I have gotten so many other people hooked on the show by lending out my DVD sets. If you like the crime solving show genre with a bit of character story thrown in, this show is for you. I only give Season 1 4 stars because I think they were overly redundant with things like stating that Booth was a sniper - and that was not done subtly. The DVD features on this set are nice - but be careful with the disks, they are 2-sided.
Fontopia in-the-ear design cuts outside noise so you can get into your music without distractions. Super-small 9mm drivers generate powerful sound with resonant bass.

I am on my second pair and these are my favorite headphones. My ears are too small for regular earbuds - they hurt and fall out, so I gave these a try - they come with 3 different sizes of silicon adapters and the smallest ones fit me comfortably. I can wear them for hours, they block out background noises (like planes) - I have even used them at work for video and audio editing. The only con is that you have to be gentle with them - my first pair doesn't work anymore because I pulled to hard on the cord to pull it out of my ear and the connection between the cord and bud was broken. Still, I bought a new pair and will be more careful with the cord in the future! :)
What's great about it: adjustable, great sound quality, blocks out other noise
What's not so great: connections - need to be gentle
Hugh Grant heads up the ensemble cast of this charming romantic comedy from Richard Curtis, who took his first turn behind the camera after penning the scripts for such well-received films as Four Weddings and a Funeral, Notting Hill, and Bridget Jones's Diary. Love Actually criss-crosses the love lives of several characters over the course of the Christmas holiday and makes its way to DVD with a widescreen transfer and Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound. For Spanish- or French-speaking viewers, there are dubbed audio tracks and optional subtitles. Fans of the film can get a glimpse into the production process and set happening with a full-length audio commentary track by Curtis, Grant, and cast members Bill Nighy and Thomas Sangster. Additionally, there are deleted scenes introduced by Curtis, a feature covering the music on the film's soundtrack, and the video for Kelly Clarkson's "The Trouble With Love Is." A full-screen version with identical features is also available.

Of the >400 movies I own, this is my favorite. It could be classified as a Christmas movie or a romantic comedy, but either way - this star packed film is not just for the ladies! Wonderful storyline, interesting characters and the way that they all come together into one story makes this a must see. Also has one of the best soundtracks, in my opinion - make sure to listen to the songs throughout the movie. :)
What's great about it: star studded
What's not so great: a little bit of a chick flick
