DVD Reviews: Marmaduke

Marmaduke I just dare you not to LOVE this big, sensitive talking Great Dane! From Twentieth Century Fox, this film is too laughable to pass up! With Owen Wilson as Marmaduke, and George Lopez as his partner in crime cat, Carlos, this film rocks. Marmaduke lives in Kansas with Debbie and Phil and their three kids, Brian (around 7), Barbara (teenager, comes with cell phone) and Sara the 2 year old (and, of course, Carlos the Cat). Phil gets a great offer from Bark Organics, a natural dog food ... continue reading...

DVD Reviews: Brothers and Sisters:Season 4

Brothers & Sisters: Complete Fourth Season I had not seen Brothers & Sisters before, (does that make me un-American), so when I viewed all 24 episodes over a two day period, I experienced moments of compassion, moments of utter boredom with the trivialities that families entail, and moments of sorrow and joy with their accomplishments and tragedies.

Book Reviews & Giveaway: Dog Tags

Dog TagsFor some reason, I love David Rosenfelt's dog infused mysteries. He may be a crime writer sleeper to some, but to me he's right up there with the Numero Unos - the big boys. Like Nicholas Sparks, Rosenfelt's melodic and paced writing only creates more friction - and although his characters fight crime, they remain good people without the Sturm Und Drang angst of Robert Bourne et al. Let's face it, sometimes Patterson, Ludlam and Crighton are DRAINING. Rosenfelt clicks quietly, ... continue reading...

DVD Reviews: Cougar Town: The Complete First Season

Cougar Town: The Complete First SeasonI just finished watching Cougar Town: The Complete First Season, the ABC comedy by Coquette (Cox/Arquette). Episode to episode zipped like a silver bullet, crashed onto the screen and flashed me, leaving me sentimental, hysterical and wishing that Jules, Bobby, Travis, Andy, Baby Stan, Ellie, Laurie, Kylie, Greyson (NOT TOM!), and Barb were my new best Friends! Hilarious episodes tramp onwards, one after another, in this comedy hybrid: part Seinfeld, a ... continue reading...
