Seinfeld Season 4

Good Day,
   I believe this latest post is the longest one I've done. It took seemingly forever to review (about 2 months). Anyway, in all its glory, here is the link to Seinfeld Vol. 3 (Season 4). Not too many reviews left to complete and since I finished this only 2 months ago, this is pretty darn current.
  Enjoy.

Family Guy Volume 3

We are now officially up to date as all the reviews left are from June to present. This review was actually finished in early July. You can read the Family Guy Volume 3 review by clicking on the link. There are only 5 DVD reviews left that I haven't posted so after that you'll be at the mercy how quickly I can get reviews done. I do have a big backlog of misc reviews I did in my past (wrestling reviews, some CD reviews, and some book reviews) that I will post eventually so that should tide you over for a while! There is also the wedding blog which is updated semi-frequently and the comic book blog which is still closed for now. I am working on what exactly to do with that. Anyway, enough rambling for today. Enjoy the review.

More Updates

I have finished my three updates for the day. I'm trying to get them done three at a time and work was pretty quiet this morning so I was able to put today's three reviews. All three were done in 2004 as well. I was most prolific in the summer of 2004 when I was between jobs. Anyway, here are the three reviews up there: The Who's Tommy, Taxi Driver, and This Is Spinal Tap. Well, I'm still at work and things need to get done, we'll see what updates come tomorrow!

2 Reviews and TPL Returns

Hello all,
  I hope you enjoyed your weekend. Mine was great, fun and relaxing. I am winding down on my Cablevision job and after today I only have two days left, the 17th and the 18th of this month. I have a lengthy vacation coming up and I hope to do some work on the website if I have time. I will be prepping for a teaching gig at a private High School and I want to get some lesson planning out of the way. I highly look forward to this job, though. Anyway, since I'm almost done at CV I have been slacking off big time. I hardly work hard and it has given me time to update the site a bit. Today I posted two DVD reviews and TPL comes out of retirement (at least for a week) in a new format. You can read The Pull List by going to the "Friends" link at the top and it'll be there. The two DVD reviews I posted were both done near the end of June. They are: The Polar Express and The Concert for Bangla Desh. Both were very good. I only have 3 reviews left to post and I'm working on a fourth. Well, that's it for today, see you later

Vince Vaughn Day

Hello,
   I enjoyed a nice 5 day vacation recently and boy was it needed. I went upstate to visit my family and not having to worry about work or anything was great. I finished off a DVD review up there but didn't do any work on the weekly TPL. As you may have noticed; the title of this subject is Vince Vaughn Day. The reason for that is that two Vince Vaughn movies have been uploaded to the website today, Dodgeball and Wedding Crashers. One is the unrated version while one is not. It's up to you to find out. I have two DVD reviews done and waiting to be posted (both are hockey DVD's) and I am working on a third now. The Wedding Crashers DVD is actually from this month (finished 7 days ago in fact) which is nice to finally be up to date. I never thought that would happen! Well, have a nice day. I am getting cable installed on my first floor today so I am just waiting for him to show up.

Hockey Day in US.

Hello All,
   It seems like a while since I last updated this! Truth be told, I have these two reviews done for about a week and a half but I usually hold off on updating until I have a spare review or two in the can. Don't ask me why, I just don't want to put up the latest thing I did, I always want something else available. This review will focus only on hockey as I take a look at the two highest scoring NHL players of all time. First off is the Ultimate Gretzky Special Edition DVD. This was re-released recently and I picked it up since it included 5 whole games. The second was something I originally had on VHS when it was released years ago and it is Mark Messier: Leader, Champion & Legend. This was a shorter program but included additional features that prompted me to pick it up. Both reviews are now up for your reading pleasue, I have one comic-themed DVD done with another comic-themed DVD on the way. Speaking of comics, TPL will be up shorty after this hits the air.

Enjoy!
