WWE: For All Mankind- The Life and Career of Mick Foley DVD Review
You can own this DVD today 

Synopsis: The first ever comprehensive documentary on the life and career of hardcore legend Mick Foley with a limited edition 'Mr. Socko' sock puppet included! Filled with inside commentary on his most brutal matches, career struggles and multi-character evolution. Includes bonus matches and legendary moments from throughout his career. 

Review: Are you kidding me?  The Hardcore Legend himself is finally immortalized on DVD by the most legendary wrestling association of all time, the WWE!  I knew going into this DVD that I would be getting an education.  Most of what I know of Foley is from clips on other documentaries.  You see, I didn't have cable TV until the late 1990s (thanks a lot mom and dad! sheesh), so I missed his original Cactus Jack run in WCW and by the time I had cable I was a WCW guy all the way, so I skipped over the attitude era all together!   I always knew he was a legend with WWE fans and so I wanted to see what it was all about and I learned a few things.  Firstly, I learned that he gives EVERYTHING in the ring for the fans...or rather gave, as he can no longer compete.  He brutalized himself in every possible way, short of death, for our fun.  Also, he's a really warm and charitable person and a great father....all things I have to respect the hell out of!  Those signs in the crowd that you sometimes still catch today on RAW...the ones that say "Foley is god".  They're so right.  Foley is god and this DVD, which includes a wonderful documentary and some full key matches, along with a Socko puppet (score!)  is a MUST have for any wrestling fan.

Complete your Ben 10 DVD collection with the Ben 10 Omniverse Volume 2 DVD

Review: Ben 10 is one of those rare shows that has been going strong for a decade now in its various incarnations.  Not a lot of animated series can tout that fact!  This newest DVD gives us the second set of 10 episodes in the Omniverse series!  This is a great jump from some of the previous single disc releases for Ben 10.  I can justify buying 10 episodes at one time.   This new incarnation of Ben shows us older characters and a jump in time in the universe that we all know and love.  My 10 year old son is a huge Ben fan.  He watched this DVD set and gave it a HUGE thumbs up.  I found this new series to be a lot of fun and the DVD set is a good value for the money.

Synopsis: Brace yourself for awesome action and legendary laughs in this fun-filled animated TV series based on the Academy Awardr-Nominated hit movie Kung Fu Panda! As the chosen Dragon Warrior and sworn protector of the Valley of Peace, Po the panda is highly skilled, ever vigilant and hungry for justice...and dumplings.

Review: Our kids LOVED the Kung Fu Panda movies, so when Nick announced the new Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness TV show, we were instantly sold.  The kids absolutely love it and we dig that its funny, safe and fun for them to watch.  This DVD release gives us seven episodes from the series, which was a big hit with the little ones.  We definately recommend this and hope that they continue to release the first season on DVD!
