2 Broke Girls: Season 3 DVD Review


Synopsis: Season Three serves up sweet surprises for two of Brooklyn's hottest waitresses, Max (Kat Dennings) and Caroline (Beth Behrs), who continue to dish up sarcasm and smarts. They've got a new cupcake business at the diner's back walk-up window, and Caroline and Max negotiate a work-study program at the Manhattan School of Pastry: Caroline works in the office so Max can study professional baking. Plus, love - and the aroma of freshly cooked tarts - is in the air! Caroline has the hots for the school's hunky master chef and Max falls head over sticky buns for the outrageous class clown.

Review:  2 Broke Girls is one of those rare shows that features a fantastic feature film star in Kat Dennings.  She brings an instant credibility to this series, which features fantastic character banter and some really therapeutic situations for those that have or do struggle with money.   The third season of the show has introduced a handful of new characters and plenty of crazy new situations.  This show is really funny with a very adult and naughty twinge at times.  This one is a must see.

Synopsis: In 1986, the whole world was invited into Pee-wee's Playhouse, the home of some of the wackiest characters ever seen!

And now, for the very first time, you can see every detail of Pee-wee's Playhouse as it's never been seen before: in brilliant high-definition! That's right, boys and girls! Every episode of this iconic Emmy(R)-winning children's series‘ first two seasons is right here, painstakingly remastered from the original film.

5 Exclusive Featurettes derived from All-new Interviews from 25 Cast and Crew Members.


Review:  Ok, so who doesn't love Pee-wee's Playhouse?  If you grew up in the 80s this show was a Saturday morning must see!  Paul Reubens brought this hilarious and bizarre character into our homes with two feature films and a five season television series that even spawned a great toyline.  This DVD set was remastered from the original 16mm film and audio sources!  This is the best possible version of Pee-wee that you can have!   This one includes the complete seasons one and two of the series.  I really enjoyed seeing this again and sharing it with my own kids, who are already big fans!   The just don't make kids shows like this anymore!

Gone With the Wind 75th Anniversary Blu-Ray Review
 


Synopsis:  Clark Gable, Vivien Leigh, Olivia de Havilland, Leslie Howard and Hattie McDaniel star in this classic epic of the American South. On the eve of the Civil War, rich, beautiful and self-centered Scarlett O'Hara (Leigh) has everything she could want - except Ashley Wilkes (Leslie Howard). As the war devastates the South, Scarlett discovers the strength within herself to protect her family and rebuild her life. Through everything, she longs for Ashley, unaware that she is already married to the man she really loves (Gable) - and who truly loves her - until she finally drives him away. Only then does Scarlett realize what she has lost ... and tries to win him back.


Review:  I will preface this by confessing that Gone With the Wind is my all-time favorite film.   I love every second of this classic feature.  This film is adored by millions to this day and what better way to celebrate the pinnacle 75th anniversary than with this box set.  The goodies inside are adorned by a gorgeous box. The insides give us an amazing book, collectible hankerchief and music box, along with the Blu-ray version of the film.  There is nothing about this set that doesn't scream fantastic.  This is not only a must have, but it would also make an amazing gift.  The price is right and the extras are abundant (see below).  There is so much win here, and if you don't agree, frankly my dear,I don't give a damn!  You like what I did there?  Yeah, I knew you would.
