Synopsis: Praised by critics and loved by fans, the one-hour, comedic drama tells the story of a shallow wannabe model who dies in a sudden accident only to find her soul resurfacing in the body of a brilliant, plus-size and recently deceased attorney, Jane.

Review: We began watching Drop Dead Diva from the beginning.  I wasn't sure how much longevity it had, but boy was I wrong.  This DVD represents the third season of this charming comedic-drama.   The third season was more of the same great show and its so wonderful to have a show with a lead that is full figured, you just don't get enough of that on television when the majority of our country is closer to her in size than these tiny actresses.  Its hard to relate sometimes.  This show leaves you with a positive feeling and an overall sense of fun, even when the situations get dramatic and messy!  We highly recommend this one.

Synopsis: SEASON 6 of the pioneering series THE UNIVERSE takes viewers further than ever, to the extreme edges of our solar system where chaos and catastrophe bring epic drama to the planets - including some of the most horrifying days on Earth. Through stunning CGI, witness the birth pangs of the solar system, shocked into existence by a nearby supernova, and enduring over 700 million years of brutal bombardment by deadly asteroids; colossal cataclysms that shaped the planets and transformed their climates forever; and startling new scientific discoveries revealing a hellish history of continuous devastation on Earth.

In signature cutting-edge style, THE UNIVERSE features astounding NASA footage and the opinions of leading astrophysicists to probe even more deeply into the billion-years-old story of the world beyond Earth presented in stunning high-definition on this Blu-ray set

Review: The Universe was cut a bit short last season (season five) with only eight episodes.  This new blu-ray release of season six includes a full 14 episode season!  This is great news for us fans.  If you're familiar with the Universe show then you're getting more of the same high quality science and CGI fun.  If you're not familiar, know that you can jump into this one at any time and there is no time like now.  This set is great for homeschoolers and classrooms and those who just love to learn about space in a very entertaining way!

DISC 1: Catastrophes that Changed the Planets / Nemesis: The Sun's Evil Twin / How the Solar System Was Made / Crash Landing on Mars / Worst Days on Planet Earth

DISC 2: God and the Universe / UFO The Real Deal / How Big, How Far, How Fast / Our Place in the Milky Way / Alien Sounds

DISC 3: Deep Freeze / Microscopic Universe / Ride the Comet / When Space Changed History

Synopsis: Did you know that 1% of the white noise you see on your television is actually background radiation from the Big Bang? From the formation of the earth and the emergence of life, to the advance of man and the growth of civilization, the CGI-driven special HISTORY OF THE WORLD IN TWO HOURS offers viewers a rapid-fire view of 14 billion years of history - an epic story that reveals surprising connections to our daily lives, for the first time in majestic 3D!

Review: The History Channel is renound for their quality documentary and educational programming. The History of the World in Two Hours is quite an undertaking! And its just like it sounds..they literally slam through millions of years of history in a few hours, lightly touching on most subjects and breezing by others. If you're looking for something in-depth, this one isn't for you, however, if you're looking for something well produced, fun and informative..check this one out! Its a blast.  This new release puts this great special onto a high-definition, 3D format!  This one is idea for those that have access to the technology.  The 3D is absolutely fantastic.  The select CGI effects come right out at you and really enchance the whole experience.  This makes the special even better for kids!

Synopsis: A Confederate soldier, out to exact revenge on the Union soldiers who murdered his wife, follows their trail to the raucous, traveling town alongside the construction of the transcontinental railroad.

Review: We're a fan of westerns here at the Legion.   When AMC announced that they were following-up their fantastic drama "The Walking Dead" with an original western surrounding the events of the building of the transcontinental railroad, we were intrigued.  When we saw the pilot episode we were interested and as the show moved on, we were absolutely engaged and addicted.  This is without a doubt a new era for the western.  The character-driven drama follows a former confederate soldier, Cullen Bohannon, as he seeks out the Northern soldiers that murdered his wife.  The show takes on far deeper dimensions as you start to meet those surrounding this huge American venture.  The show has action, suspense, drama and sex.  This one is not to be missed!  We'll fill our time impatiently waiting for season two by watching through this season one blu-ray again and we recommend that you do the same!

Synopsis: Season two of Dark Blue continues to thrill as Dylan McDermott stars as Carter Shaw, part of a crack undercover team of police officers so covert, many of their own colleagues are kept in the dark. The strong-willed Carter often pushes the limits of the law in his efforts to bring down bad guys through complex undercover assignments. His team includes Ty (Omari Hardwick), whose commitment to his covers have left him struggling to define the boundaries between work and his home life; Dean (Logan Marshall-Green), a shoot-from-the-hip cop whose activities make his fellow team members wonder which side he's really on; and Jaimie (Nicki Aycox), a green patrol cop brought in for her shady past and excellent skills in lying, who's out to prove that she has what it takes. New to the team this season is Alex Rice (Tricia Helfer, Battlestar Galactica), a sarcastic and ambitious, Berkeley-educated FBI agent brought in to oversee these covert cowboys. But it's Carter she really has her eye on….

Review: Dark Blue is one of the last good cop dramas on television.  This cable drama is one of the coolest and best written we've seen in a very long time.  The second season of Dark Blue is now available on DVD, only online from wbshop.com (see our link above).  The show has gotten darker and darker with the lines blurred between good and bad and an uncertainty about who is on what side.  This season kept us on the edge of our seats until the finale and its epic conclusion.  Unfortunately, the show wasn't renewed for a third season, so this DVD set represents the final season of this show.  This is your chance to complete the series.

Synopsis: Ray Romano's eight-day drive through the south on a stand-up comedy tour becomes more than he bargains for when longtime friend and opening act, Tom Caltabiano, brings a film student along to document their thousand-mile journey. Together, all three struggle with Ray's obsessions, phobias, and insecurities in this unscripted exploration of newfound fame.

Review: Ok, let me preface this review by saying I can't stand Ray Romano. He's whiney and annoying and his show had a great cast..all except him.  So, now you know my bias and you can keep that in mind when reading this.  That aside, this indie film is an ok watch.  It premiered years back on HBO and is finally getting a DVD release.  Its basically a look at the "real-life" obsessions and quirks of Romano on the road.  I found this more tolerable than his actual shows, so I can recommend it, especially if you dig Ray.

Synopsis: Susan (Eva Green, Cracks, Casino Royale) is a scientist whose research has caused her to neglect virtually everything else in her life, including love. That is until she meets Michael (Ewan McGregor, The Ghost Writer, Angels & Demons), a talented chef, and suddenly everything starts to change not just in Susan s life, but in the entire world. While Susan and Michael are experiencing new and unforeseen depths of feeling, all around the globe a new epidemic is causing people to lose their sensory perceptions. Are Susan and Michael s increasingly intense feelings for each other in spite of the epidemic, or because of it? A life-affirming look at what it means to love and be loved in turbulent times, director David Mackenzie s PERFECT SENSE is equal parts touching romance and chilling thriller.

Review: The Perfect Sense is a wonderful new art film starring one of the best actors of our time, Ewan McGregor.  The film is basically a huge metaphor for the compatability and the love of Susan and Michael, with a backdrop of a world pandemic that effects the senses, eventually turning people into a form of zombie!  This one is absolutely unique and glorious in its storytelling capacity and is one that everyone can enjoy.  This film will leave you with a sense of joy to be alive and a great perspective on love.  We highly recommend.

Synopsis: FDR (Chris Pine) and Tuck (Tom Hardy) are covert CIA operatives and best buddies...until they both fall for charming and sexy Lauren (Reese Witherspoon). Their friendship is put to the ultimate test as they wage an epic battle for her affection, using their surveillance skills and an array of high-tech gadgetry -- may the best spy win!

Review: Alls fair in love and war, right?   This new action-comedy pits Tom Hardy (Rocknrolla, The Dark Knight Rises) against Chris Pine (Star Trek) trying to win the affections of Lauren, played by the always cute Reese Witherspoon.  This one goes way over the top with outdoing each other in hilarious sequence after sequence.  I wasn't sure if this one would fly, but it really kept getting better and better.  There are plenty of laughs and some great romantic notions in this one.  We highly recommend.

Synopsis: Academy Awardr Winner Cuba Gooding Jr.* and Academy Awardr Nominee Terrence Howard** lead a powerful ensemble cast in this high-flying epic inspired by the real-life adventures of the first African-American combat unit to serve in World War II. Italy, 1944. As the war takes its toll on Allied forces in Europe, a squadron of black pilots known as the Tuskegee Airmen are finally given the chance to prove themselves in the sky...even as they battle discrimination on the ground. Featuring jaw-dropping aerial action and thrilling special effects, Red Tails is a breathtaking tribute to the unsung heroes who rose above extraordinary challenges and ultimately soared into history.

Review: This film is a focus around four pilots of the first African American flight squad, during WWII.   This is the kind of film that could come off as pandering, but does a great job of mixing the action of great flight sequences with the tale of this legendary crew.  The cast is there, although I can't stand Terrence Howard, he does turn in a good performance.  I much prefer Cuba Gooding, Jr., who is not only sincere, but fantastic.  This one has great choreography, especially in the action sequences.  This one is definately worth the watch.

Synopsis: Get ready for some really, really big fun when Elmo is accidentally turned big and towers over Sesame Street! While Abby tries to figure out how to get Elmo small again, kids will learn all about measuring in this extra tall tale. Then, Elmo makes friends with a Monarch butterfly and cooks up even more big fun in a silly cooking competition! Featuring three full length stories, two engaging new songs with Elmo and a special animated book extra, everyone will want to have Big Elmo Fun!

Review: Everyone loves Elmo..how can you not?  Sesame Street is a fantastic show for kids and has dominated airwaves for decades.  This new DVD features three great tales of everyone's favorite furry red monster.  The first and funnest one is where elmo gets turned into a giant.  This one is sure to please your little ones and you can't find safer and more constructive entertianment for your kids!

Synopsis: Starring Emmy® and Golden Globe winner Anthony LaPaglia, Poppy Montgomery, Oscar® nominee Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Enrique Murciano and Eric Close, this hit procedural drama focuses on a special New York–based FBI task force known as the Missing Persons Squad. At the start of the third season, the newly promoted Vivian has replaced Jack as the leader of the Missing Persons Squad. Jack, who is experiencing his share of marital difficulties, is not displaced for long, however, and soon resumes his post. Meanwhile, Vivian is having trouble hiding her health condition from her co-workers and Martin and Samantha's relationship reaches a defining moment. Through it all, the team strives to solve the cases they are constantly challenged by. Guest stars this season include Emmy® winner Chad Lowe, Tony Goldwyn and John Krasinski, as well as Timothy Busfield and Martin Landau, in recurring roles. 

Review: This new DVD collects the complete third season of the tv show Without a Trace. This show is about a missing persons unit and their searches for the helpless and the relationships within the team.  This season has a number of great episodes, especially the first one where they search for a missing blind girl.  The season ends with a huge cliffhanger shootout that continues into the season four premiere.  We can't wait to check out the DVD release of season 4.  Any fan of the show will be pleased with this collection, which you can only get online!

Synopsis: Ultimate Vampire Warrioress Selene (Kate Beckinsale) escapes imprisonment to find herself in a world where humans have discovered the existence of both Vampire and Lycan clans, and are conducting an all-out war to eradicate both immortal species.

Review: Just when you thought a franchise was down for the count, Underworld comes roaring back to life with a vengeance.  The war between vampires and lycans gets a nice big wrench in it, as we fast forward to a time where they were discovered and almost wiped out by the humans!  This one is all action and attitude.  Selene is tougher than ever and the story doesn't disappoint!  This one is priceless in 3D and thats how we recommend watching a great action film like this one!  You will not believe the quality as things come flying right out at you.  This is a new era for 3D technology and Underworld:Awakening has taken it to an all new level!

Interest Range: Action, Fantasy

Synopsis: This horror-thriller follows a group of teenagers dealing with the sudden return of a friend who went missing a decade ago. When the friend falls ill, they take her to a hospital but end up trapped in a labyrinthine haunted house.

Joined by Miyu, Yuki s younger sister, the five quickly rush Yuki to a hospital, where something seems terribly wrong. No one is there to help them and not a patient is in sight. In the midst of the confusion, Yuki disappears. The night of terror that ensues, where Ken, Rin, Motoki and Miyu must navigate the labyrinth-like corridors of the hospital as well as their own minds, are forced to confront their past, unearth long-suppressed memories, and test the resilience of their sanity.

Review: There are a few gimmicks in the horror genre that keep things fresh.  Excessive gore is one...mind games are another..and 3D is the ultimate.   This is Japans first horror 3D offering and it is intense!   There are times when a great psychological horror film in 3D would be pointless..this is not one of those times.  This set comes with a 2D Blu-Ray option, but you'd be missing out by utilizing it in that format.  The 3D is so intense that the objects float right in front of your face.  We found this one to be top of the line both in story and in 3D effect.  There was no ghosting and a fantastic utilization of the technology.  We highly recommend.

Synopsis: Laura Linney returns in her Golden Glober winning role for a new season of The Big C, the hit Showtime original Series about living. with cancer. After spending season one ignoring her illness, Cathy Jamison has decided to fight back. "Bring it on," says Cathy, as she enters an experimental clinical trial while continuing to live life to the fullest in this heartfelt and surprising comedy.

Review: This DVD set collects the complete second season of the Showtime network cancer drama The Big C.  The show is largely a drama, although its intertwined with some great laughs here and there to keep you going.  The show centers around a woman, Cathy, trying to cope with her cancer.  This season she is going to fight back.  The show gives you some of the harsh realities of the iillness, along with some great character driven looks at different patients along the way.  This one is a great watch, especially if you have to cope with medical issues in your life.

Synopsis: Two wacky, novice filmmakers receive a billion dollars to make a movie, only to squander every dime. Afraid for their lives, they attempt to revitalize a failing shopping mall to make the money back. Featuring cameos from some of the biggest names in comedy!

Review: Ok, now if you're a fan of Tim and Eric, then you're going to love this one.  Hands down, no brainer for you.  If you're not familiar with their work, look it up first and make sure you dig their style.  There is a lot of uncomfortable silence and ackward close-ups involved in their unique brand of comedy.  This film is hilarious from start to finish.  It does have a few moments that drag..but very few.  Some fantastic guest stars in Will Ferrell, Will Forte and Zach Galifawhateverhisname is from the Hangover.  This one is a gut-buster for anyone that enjoys oddball comedy.

Synopsis: While digging into their town's infamous past, a group of high school students unwittingly unlock an even darker secret. Now, an evil spirit has been awakened and will stop at nothing to find his true heir

Review: Playback is a film that focuses on horror through technology, much like other recent films like "The Ring".  This is a b-movie to be sure, and it will appeal more to the younger crowd overall.  The film was rather well made and acted.  We found it to be entertaining and it will definately be a good time to any modern horror fan.

Synopsis: Rachel McAdams and Channing Tatum star in a must see love story that's inspired by true events. A car accident puts Paige (Rachel) in a coma, and when she wakes up with severe memory loss, her husband Leo (Channing) works to win her heart again.

Review: The basic idea behind this film is that a wife gets into a car accident, losing her memory of ever even knowing her now husband.  The husband devotedly sticks by her and tries to make her fall in love with him all over again.  This is the kind of film that could quickly be subjugated into the "chick flick" category, and in some ways I suppose you can, but what the actors managed to do here is take what could've been very dull and cliche and made it emotional, heartfelt and very real to the viewer.  They did a fantastic job putting this one together and I think that everyone will get something great out of it.

Gremlins  -  Gremlins 2

Gremlins Synopsis: Gremlins is a wildly original roller-coaster ride of hilarious mischief. One minute your hair will stand on end, the next you'll hold your sides with laughter at the havoc these supposedly gentle furballs create when the rules surrounding their care and feeding are inadvertently broken one fateful Christmas. Written by Chris Columbus and directed by Joe Dante, Gremlins unleashes special effects that dazzle and enchant and merriment that lingers in the memory. Blu-ray disc edition features over 10 minutes of additional scenes, a making-of featurette, two commentaries, a photo/storyboard gallery and theatrical trailers. 

Gremlins 2 Synopsis:  The follow up feature to the cult hit Gremlins 1. Billy Peltzer and Kate Beringer move to New York City and meet up with their Mogwai friend, Gizmo, when a series of accidents creates a new generation of diverse gremlins. Billy, Kate, and Gizmo must once again use all their experience to prevent another catastrophe.

Review: The Gremlins franchise is one of the best to come out of the 1980s.  The follow-up film was a great example of what a sequel could be!  It built on the first film with returning characters and expanded on the mythos.  The films, which center around the lovable Gizmo and the strict rules that must be followed to keep him from spawning green, gooey and gross Gremlins!  This is the first time we can own these two films on blu-ray, high-definition.  Often times these vintage films don't transfer well to blu-ray (Ghostbusters) and can be a major disappointment.  So, should you upgrade from DVD to blu-ray on these new releases?

The simple answer....YES!  The transfer into high-definition is clear and crisp.  There is no noticable grain and the colors really pop.  In the first Gremlins we have a lot of dark scenes and the high-def really makes them stand out, so that you can catch more detail.  Gremlins 2 is a little brighter overall, and the dynamics of the Gremlins and their bright colors (especially the girl gremlin) really pops!  This is one of those instances when an upgrade is not only warranted, its absolutely necessary!

Interest Range: Fantasy, Cult Classics

Synopsis: Ralphie May proves he's TOO BIG TO IGNORE in his record breaking 4th Comedy Central Special. Voted one of Variety's 10 Comics to Watch, Ralphie May spreads his comedic wealth further than ever by tackling topics that will make you think and occasionally squirm. With no subject off limits, Ralphie dives in and reveals the hilarious quirks that infiltrate politics, race and even his family. Lovable enough to get away with anything, Ralphie continues to capture the hearts of thousands on his sold out tours and promises to make you gleefully uncomfortable.

Review: Ralphie has been setting stages on fire for years now.  His delivery is smooth and his comedy is well thought out.  He obviously falls back on his weight as a comedic center, but it really works for him.   This new DVD stand-up special is absolutely hilarous.  We always enjoy Ralphie's work..he never disappoints.

Synopsis: Rediscover the magic of one of TV's greatest comedy series! Trip into the living room of comedy writer Rob Petrie (Dick Van Dyke) along with his lovely wife, Laura (Mary Tyler Moore), wisecracking co-workers (Morey Amsterdam, Rose Marie, Carl Reiner) and nutty neighbors.

Review: The Dick Van Dyke Show is one of the classic series that reminds us what comedy really is.  Shows today really miss the mark in comparison.   This DVD set collects 20 episodes from the show that are sure to make your belly ache.  This one makes a great gift and is ideal for someone that wants to relive the show without a heavy investment into full season sets.

Synopsis: Madonna's beautifully crafted film tells the story of Wally Winthrop (Abbie Cornish), a lonely New Yorker, who finds a welcomed escape from her troubled relationship when she begins to explore the ultimate love story: King Edward's VIII's (James D'Arcy) scandalous abdication of the British throne for the woman he loved, American divorcee Wallis Simpson (Andrea Riseborough). Wally's research begins at a 1998 Sotheby's auction of the Windsor Estate and takes her on a journey of discovery that reveals how hard it is to live out the world's greatest romance. As she learns more about the sacrifices Wallis made in choosing to be with Edward, Wally finds the courage to make the tough choices in order to create her own happiness.

Review: W/E is an effort put forth by Madonna and I must say that I'm terribly impressed with her on this one.  This film is a romantic effort that takes the tone of Julie and Julia where a modern girl looks to a real-life romantic tale of the past where a King gave up his crown to be with a commoner and she struggles to find similar devotion and real love today.  This one is a great film and a wonderful commentary on today's culture.  Loved it!

Synopsis: Down a seedy city street, a young woman is obsessed with what appears to be a long abandoned theatre. One night, she sees the front door slightly ajar and impulsively decides to sneak inside. But there in the vast, eerie auditorium, a show unlike any other unfolds before her eyes. Its host is an odd marionette-like man who will introduce her to six tales of the truly bizarre: A couple traveling in a remote part of the French Pyrenees crosses paths with a lustful witch; A paranoid lover faces the wrath of a partner who has been pushed to her limit; The Freudian dreams of an unfaithful husband blur the lines between fantasy and reality; The horrors of the real world are interpreted through the mind of a child; A woman addicted to other people's memories gets her fix through the fluid of her victims' eyeballs; And a perverse obsession with sweets turns sour for a couple in too deep. But as the stories unfold, something strange is happening to the woman. Something irreversible and horrific. Something that awaits its next audience in THE THEATRE BIZARRE.

Review: The Theatre Bizarre is a great new horror compilation.  It features six tales of horror in the tradition of great series like Creep Show.  There are, of course, homages to many of these older films included in these various tales, which I think is fantastic.  We're at a point now with horror that we can look back and see what really works and make it new again.  These tales are told in a unique way and will definately appeal to anyone that misses Tales from the Crypt, like we do!
