After hearing that this movie won 4 oscars I thought it would be, well, good. I hated this movie. The plot is so loosely explained that the whole time you watch you have to question what even happens at times. There is never a real clear explanation to how and why a psychopathic muderer who has supposedly killed thousands of people gets away clean EVERY SINGLE TIME. There are so many things that when you think about it are just dumb. Why would a man return to a murder sight at dusk especially after he has taken a suitcase with 2 million dollars in it from the scene? Tommy Lee Jones's charactar Sheriff Bell is so stupid. The whole movie he wanders around making a bunch of philisophical views about good and evil rather than do his job. As for the mood of the movie it sucks. Most movies play music during a movie to set the mood. This movie has almost no music and the feel of the movie is just plain disturbing. It seems as though the person or people who thought of this story are almost as disturbed as Chigurh. The end of the movie has to be the worst ending to a movie that I have ever seen. The lead charactar gets killed OFF SCENE. Sheriff Bell goes into a hotel with his gun drawn and you think that this is the final showdown. But no, nothing happens. Then the psycho is driving a car and gets t-boned in a 45 or 50 mph impact and survives while two boys checking on him inform him an ambulance is on the way. You hear the sirens for like 5 minutes and no ambulance is shown. Then he limps away down a residential neighborhood and you are supposed to believe that no one sees him. And HMMM limping away from a car crash after to avoid being caught by the cops sounds like the end of THE BOURNE SUPREMACY. Then at the very end of the movie Sheriff Bell blabbers about some dream for like 5 minutes and then the credits role. Of all the movies I've ever seen this is by far the worst movie that I forced myself to watch. Would not want anyone I know to disown me for recommending it to them.

![The Office: Season Two [4 Discs] [DVD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/304b2327-370a-41e7-956a-951dd4939472.png)
Season 2 of the hit mockumentary opens with the hardly coveted Dundie Awards, the annual ceremony honoring Scranton employees in such esteemed categories as Hottest in the Office and Whitest Tennis Shoes. In a typical move, regional manager Michael Scott (Steve Carell) emcees the show and picks the winners-but doesn't pick up the tab. In other Michael developments, he spies on staffers' emails, mistakes an IT guy for a terrorist, burns his foot while cooking bacon bedside, and becomes a reluctant homeowner. He does manage to find some success in the dating department. He goes out with his likable real-estate agent Carol (played by Carell's wife Nancy Walls) and hooks up with his recently divorced no-nonsense boss Jan Levinson (Melora Hardin). The latter affair starts as a one-night stand but leads to a slightly warped (and somewhat imagined in Michael's eyes) love triangle between the three. In other office romances, Dwight Schrute (Rainn Wilson) and Angela Martin (Angela Kinsey) start a top-secret love affair, Kelly Kapoor (Mindy Kaling) crushes on Ryan Howard (B.J. Novak), and Jim Halpert (John Krasinski) continues dating Katy (Amy Adams), the "hot girl" he met in the Season 1 finale. But it's Pam Beesly (Jenna Fischer) whom he not-so-secretly pines for, even though she's engaged (for three years and counting) to insensitive warehouse worker Roy (David Denman). Much to Jim's dismay, Roy finds a moment of drunken clarity on Michael's ill-fated booze cruise and finally sets a date for his and Pam's wedding. Pam's thrilled at first, but then she starts thinking beyond the reception desk when a Women in the Workplace seminar inspires her to attend art school. Jim wholeheartedly encourages the idea, which is quickly shot down by Roy, planting seeds of doubt in Pam's mind about whether Roy is really the right guy for her.

This show has to be the funniest show I've ever seen. The humor is so cleverly written and the camera work makes it all seem very real. Each charactar is very funny and they all have a unique personality. Steve Carell is the funniest and he is great as the sometimes dumb Michael Scott. I love this show more than any other show on TV.

2 Fast 2 Furious is a good movie but I don't think it is as good as the original. Some scenes are very noticeably CGI shots and they really don't look real at all. There are way more race scenes and more action. Paul Walker and Tyrese are a great team and Tyrese is really funny throughout the movie. The bonus features are really cool and some are pretty funny. This is a very fun movie to buy if you are a fan of street racing and fast cars.

This has to be the best Need For Speed installment since Carbon in 2006. The graphics look great but there are some very noticeable glitches such as buildings and vehicles popping up right before your very eyes. The career mode is pretty cool and the city is very similar almost too similar to the city in Need For Speed Most Wanted. One of the biggest problems is that a few cars that are in the PS3 and XBOX 360 versions are not in the PS2 version. It seems that recently EA has developed a hatred of PS2 owners by intentionally giving the PS3 and XBOX 360 versions of certain games features that the PS2 version could have but don't. This is still a pretty good game.

This show is not a good show for kids. One of the main charactars Sam is very crude and rude and that is not behavior that kids should find funny or amusing. If you can get past that the show just isn't funny. Seriously how can a single 26 year old guy with no real job pay for a 3 level penthouse for him and his 13 year old sister and a bunch of expensive camera equipment? And at times it seems as though Carly is more mature and is the one in charge. This is certainly not a show I would let my kids watch because it is so crude and it's just not funny.

A magazine article about real-life car racing gangs for Vibe becomes this fast-paced automotive thriller from director Rob Cohen. Paul Walker stars as Brian Spindler, a youthful FBI agent investigating a series of hijackings by going undercover with a street gang led by charismatic Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel). Caught up in Toretto's world of gang conflict that is resolved in late-night car races, Spindler starts to sympathize with his chief suspect and falls in love with Toretto's younger sister Mia (Jordana Brewster). In the meantime, Spindler initially suspects the wrong gang of complicity in the crimes he's probing, while Toretto remains involved in a forbidden romance, ~ la Romeo and Juliet, with his girlfriend Letty (Michelle Rodriguez). The Fast and the Furious co-stars Ted Levine, Rick Yune, and Matt Schulze.

This is an awesome movie. The cars in this movie are great looking and all the chase and race sequences are probably the best in any film before it. The lead actors all do a great job too. This is a very good movie for those who are fans of street racing. This DVD includes some very cool bonus features as well.

This deadpan release from the American version of the comedy series The Office includes all six episodes from the show's first season, following the everyday misadventures of an extremely earnest and extremely tactless regional branch manager at a paper company, and the employees forced to deal with him.

The Office is a hilarious show. It is the best comedy on TV. It has such clever humor unlike most shows that have predictable one liners. The entire cast is funny too. The only complaint I have about the first season is that are only 6 episodes. This is still a great show to buy and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good laugh.
What's great about it: Funniest show on TV
What's not so great: Not that many episodes

This is very good movie. It's probably not as good as Ultimatum or Supremacy but it's still way better than most action movies. Matt Damon is great as Bourne and the entire cast does a really good job. The action scenes are awesome and the plot is as well. This is a very cool movie for action fans.

Season 4 of the acclaimed mockumentary opens with the discovery that Ryan Howard (B.J. Novak) has ascended the corporate ladder from fresh-faced intern to stylishly bearded corporate chieftain. The young gun promptly exercises his authority by charging Dunder Mifflin into the digital age, an affront to technologically dull Scranton branch boss Michael Scott (Steve Carell). Here are the romantic "fax" of life at the office: Jim Halpert (John Krasinski) and Pam Beesly (Jenna Fischer) are hot, Dwight Schrute (Rainn Wilson) and Angela Martin (Angela Kinsey) are not, and Andy Bernard (Ed Helms) and Angela are giving it a shot. A giddy Jam (Jim/Pam) proudly bring their hushed and long-delayed romance to public light, even spending an unsettling night at the Schrute family farm. Dwight confesses to killing Angela's treasured cat Sprinkles, prompting Angela to terminate their romance, which leaves tight Dwight heartbroken and miserable. Angela, in turn, falls into the arms of newest staffer Andy, but only reluctantly. As for Michael, he huffs and puffs through a 5K fun run; hopes to attend a Web-site launch party in the Big Apple; faces a ballooning personal debt; goes on a wilderness survival retreat; butts heads with desk jockey Stanley Hudson (Leslie David Baker); and travels a bumpy-road romance with high-maintenance ex-bigwig Jan Levinson (Melora Hardin), who's mired in a messy wrongful-termination lawsuit with corporate. All this doesn't stop Michael from obsessing over a model in an office-supply catalog or clubbing for "hot hotties" with Ryan in New York. As the year winds down, slumping human-resources drone Toby Flenderson (Paul Lieberstein) decides to quit his post and move to Costa Rica. This development prompts the arrival of a new HR worker named Holly (Amy Ryan), whose sunny presence clearly begins to brighten Michael's downcast world.

This show is amazing. The humor in this show is what seperates it from all other shows on TV.Most shows base thier humor on jokes but this show is so clever and whitty. Most of the humor comes from awkward situations and petty office behavior. Steve Carrel is great and so is the rest of the cast. This is by far the best comedy series on TV.
What's great about it: Very funny
What's not so great: Jim doesn't play that many pranks on Dwight

This is a movie that I think is even better than The Bourne Identity. This movie has some really cool camera work that makes you feel like you're right alongside Jason Bourne. The on-board cameras during the car chase was very cool and the camera during the action scenes puts you right in the middle of the action. This is an excellent movie if you like action with a great plot.
