Birds Of Prey




The Birds of Prey Complete Season 1 Dvd has been released in the U.S. Although it consists of only 13 episodes, this show had a lot of untapped potential that was only waiting to be discovered.

The basic premise of the show is that batmans war on crime finally came full circle as the villains got their revenge. Barbara Gordon (Batgirl) was shot by the Joker and is now wheelchair bound. Selina Kyle (Catwoman), Batmans one true love and mother of their child (Helina Kyle) was stabbed and killed by Clayface. As a result of this Bruce Wayne leaves Gotham, and instructs Alfred to look over Helina and Barbara. Inspite of their tragic pasts, Barbara and Helina work together to protect New Gotham from criminal elements just like Batman did several years ago.
This series started to pick up a lot of steam near the end. The final battle in the clock tower Against Harley Quinn was the series highlight. Mia Sara who portrayed Harley, did a spectacular job, and should be considered to reprise her role should Harley appear in the upcoming 3rd Batman movie. If your a Batman fan, dont miss this show.

Samantha Who?!?




Samantha Who? Exactly my thought when i first heard of this show. It just so happened I finished most of my new DVD purchases and had nothing to do one night so Samantha who it was.

Samantha, a woman who just awoke from a coma, has amnesia. She must rediscover who she is, her likes and dislikes, and why almost everybody hates her. She learns that she lead a very mean and selfish life, and that she now has the chance to change herself and live life to the fullest.... Although this may sound like a snore fest on paper, Christina Applegate delivers a witty and charming performance making this show, a part of you must see TV.


At about 30 mins an episode, this show is loaded with fun, humor, and twists galore. I'm not a big comedy fan as i dont laugh easily, but I recommend this show whole hartedly. Check out the DVD which has just been released and the second season coming out soon.
