Who doesn't love watching Nurse Jackie's life unravel for no other reason than her self destructive addiction? The final season doesn't disappoint. The hospital's fate is uncertain, the characters all prepare to move on to other endeavors, and Jackie muddles through the same way she always had. Not to spoil the ending, but it's abrupt and satisfying.

It's a decent set- you get channels from stations from about thirty miles away...you get more channels and better reception than the old bunny ears that we had (which were from the nineties)...placement is still key for good reception (too low to the ground and you get nothing)...and better than paying for cable tv since we either wait for stuff to go on Blu-ray or stream anyways...

This is a Reese Witherspoon vehicle, so it helps to be a fan. The story is about conquering personal demons, challenging your limits, and defying expectations. Very cool to see the Pacific Crest Trail and the special features about the hikers.

That Thing You Do has been a favorite since it came out in the late '90s. The music is good. It's like VH-1's Behind The Music in the 1960s. The retrospective cast reunion was the best special feature. There are some familiar faces from this film that you'll recognize (Furiosa!!!) from today's blockbusters.

 Ghostbusters 1 & 2 [Blu-ray]
Ghostbusters 1 & 2 [Blu-ray]
Ghostbusters: Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson star as a quartet of Manhattan-based "paranormal investigators". When their government grants run out, the former three go into business as The Ghostbusters, later hiring Hudson on. Armed with electronic paraphernalia, the team is spectacularly successful, ridding The Big Apple of dozens of ghoulies, ghosties and long-legged beasties. Tight-lipped bureaucrat William Atherton regards the Ghostbusters as a bunch of charlatans, but is forced to eat his words when New York is besieged by an army of unfriendly spirits, conjured up by a long-dead Babylonian demon and "channelled" through beautiful cellist Sigourney Weaver and nerdish Rick Moranis. The climax is a glorious sendup of every Godzilla movie ever made-and we daresay it cost more than a year's worth of Japanese monster flicks combined. Who'd ever dream that the chubby, cheery Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man would turn out to be the most malevolent threat ever faced by New York City? When the script for Ghostbusters was forged by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis, John Belushi was slated to play the Bill Murray role; Belushi's death in 1982 not only necessitated the hiring of Murray, but also an extensive rewrite. The most expensive comedy made up to 1984, Ghostbusters made money hand over fist, spawning not only a 1989 sequel but also two animated TV series (one of them partially based on an earlier live-action TV weekly, titled The Ghost Busters. Ghostbusters II: Ivan Reitman's sequel to the phenomenally successful Ghostbusters is looser and more self-assured than the original. The film opens with a title reading "Five Years Later" and finds the ghostbusters living in hard times. A restraining order has forbidden the boys to partake in paranormal warfare, and as a result they have had to seek other lines of work. Ray (Dan Aykroyd) and Winston (Ernie Hudson) spend their time performing at children's' birthday parties, and Egon (Harold Ramis) is busy conducting experiments investigating the effect of human emotions on the environment, leaving ghostbusting behind. Venkman (Bill Murray) and Dana (Sigourney Weaver) have split up. Venkman now hosts a local cable show called "The World of the Psychic." Dana, now divorced and the mother of a little baby named Oscar, works as an art restorer in a museum -- and this is where the plot kicks in. While Dana is restoring a portrait of a 16th-century tyrant by the name of Vigo the Carpathian, the portrait becomes hexed. The evil Vigo wants to return to life by taking over the body of Dana's little child. Vigo has enlisted Dana's boss, Janosz Poha (Peter MacNicol), to compel Dana to cooperate. Soon dirty sludge and slime flow through the streets of Manhattan, and the ghostbusters have to reunite to save the city from a funky paranormal evil.

Whether you saw these films on the big screen or just the big screen TV in your living room, they remain eminently watchable, fun, and great nostalgia. Extras include a discussion on what it was like making the films and the theme song videos from Ray Parker Jr. and Bobby Brown. Great to see those again, too.

 Castle: The Complete Sixth Season [5 Discs]
Castle: The Complete Sixth Season [5 Discs]
The sixth season of this crime drama opens with Beckett (Stana Katic) accepting a marriage proposal from Castle (Nathan Fillion). However, their road to the altar gets a little bumpy when Beckett also accepts a new high-profile job in Washington, D.C. Meanwhile, things don't go smoothly for Castle and Alexis (Molly Quinn) when he doesn't approve of the new boyfriend she's brought home from Costa Rica. Castle gets a glimpse at what parenthood would be like a second time when he and Beckett temporarily care for a baby who was carried into a church by a man dying from gunshot wounds. And Ryan (Seamus Dever) and his wife excitedly prepare for their first child, but she goes into labor while Ryan is investigating a dangerous arson case.

Castle and Kate plan their wedding, solve crimes with their friends in the Homicide division, and deal with poor decisions of Castle’s young adult daughter. If you’ve gotten to season 6 you love these characters and can’t wait to see what’s next in store for them. I love the inventive crimes (except their serial killer storylines which tend to fall flat). The character relationships continue to flourish, remain funny, and just silly enough to keep you watching.

Big Bang Theory: The Complete Seventh Season [Blu-ray/DVD] [Only @ Best Buy]
This release includes all 24 episodes of the brainy sitcom The Big Bang Theory, following the romantic and practical misadventures of two genius physicists, who are at the top of their fields in science, but at the bottom of the totem in playing the field. The two continually attempt to bring their social skills into par with their laboratory skills, and living across the hall from a charming blonde actress gives them plenty of motivation.

At its best, we care about the characters and want to watch them grow and change. Season 7 doesn't disappoint. The extras include the BBT Comicon panel and the actors behind the scenes discussing their characters. Rewatchable..

The flat screen TV has a barely there frame; the screen goes right to the edges. It takes a little getting used to. We’ve had the TV for over a month and it performs well. When watching the TV you can’t just enter the channel you want, like channel xx, because channels are listed as xx.1, xx.2, etc. Compared to our previous TV, this is a little more key punching to do. It’s a minor complaint for an otherwise very nice TV.

This blu-ray player has a nice compact size. The remote is necessary for all functions. The remote has clear buttons that allow for one-step controls; there are fewer menus to scroll through to get what you want. It’s simpler to use than more complex blu-ray players. We’ve been using this player for over a month now and it works well.

This movie is based on the true story of a Maersk container ship being stalked and captured by Somali pirates off the horn of Africa. Though the captain attempts to thwart the pirates, he is kidnapped for ransom and dramatically rescued by the US Navy. The drama is compelling. It was interesting to see what life is like on a container vessel. Whether you remember these events unfolding in the news or seeing other acts of piracy reported in the news currently, this film provides insight into what is occurring.

What is the width of the TV?

Best Buy doesn't have the width listed for some reason, and I need to know if it'll fit on my TV stand.
It's 35.5 " wide.
