The Big Bang Theory Box Set

I didn't know what to expect when I sat down to watch this new CBS series. What I got was a smart, funny, story about two brilliant physists who have a beautiful woman move in next door. Johnny Galecki from 'Roseanne' fame stars at Dr. Leonard Hofstadler and the BRILLIANT Jim Parsons who is mostly unknown stars at Dr. Sheldon Cooper. These two are the oddest of odd couple's. The writing, the acting, and some of the lines leave me breathless as I am laughing way too hard. This show refuses to dumb it down for the masses and even has scientists on their writing staff so the science is correct.

Sit down and watch this show, you won't be disappointed.

The Ruling Class

Peter O' Toole is phenomenal in this British Black Comedy about the different classes in British Society. Peter O'Toole plays Arthur a young man who believes he's Jesus Christ and through a series of events goes from someone who loves his neighbor to a serial killer.

My favorite part of the film is the musical numbers, especially Peter O'Toole singing "These Dry Bones." Very bizarre, very funny, very black comedy. If you love British films, this is one you MUST see.

4 out of 5 stars.

The Magic Christian

No, this isn't a film about Jesus and Hogwarts. Its a funny film that came out in the late 1960's early 70's and stars Peter Sellers and Ringo Starr. The film takes a look at the idea that people will do absolutely anything for money.

Peter Sellers plays a millionaire and Ringo is a poor orphan he adopts. Together they prove through example after example that people will swim through poo for Quid.

If you can rent this film. Peter Sellers is stellar as is Ringo. Together they are a force to be reckoned with.

CSI: NY Box Sets Season 1, 2, & 3

When CSI came out in 2000 I was totally psyched. I fell in love with the characters of Gil Grissom, Catherine Willows, Nick Stokes, etc. Then CSI:Miami came out and I wasn't that impressed. Then I heard they made a CSI:NY and I love Gary Sinise but I just wasn't sure. Then I went to New York City. WOW! Can we say New York City ROCKS boys and girls?

So I got home and turning to my trusty Netflix, I rented in succession Season 1, 2, & 3. I watched every episode and found that CSI: NY reminded me of Season 1 of CSI:Las Vegas. I absolutely loved it, I love the characters, who are younger and have think Brooklyn accents. Gary Sinise is phenomenal as Mac. Very tight cast, and I can't wait to see what happens next.

If you love CSI the original you'll love CSI:NY.

G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra

Ok, let me be frank I grew up with Barbie dolls. I had no knowledge of the story behind G.I. Joe. That being said, I found myself enjoying the film immensly. The story revolves around Duke and Lisa and how they have changed in the 4 years after a devastating event. Each one on the opposite side, Duke with the G.I. Joes and Lisa with M.A.R.S under the watchful eye of James McCullen/Destro.

The film was what I expected, little plot some nice storylines and TONS of explosions. It was fun, frantic and time flew as I watched it and I was disappointed when the credits rolled.

Overall I'll give it a 3 out of 5 stars.
