the shield

I just finished watching the first dvd of the second season of 'The Shield' and I was disappointed because it didn't include commentaries on each of the four or five episodes that were on the dvd.
Only the first episode had a commentary on it, but it did include audio for each episode in like three or four different languages so I am half tempted to try and teach myself Portuguese by watching the dvd in Portuguese.
No, I was only trying to be funny.
I'm really not that ambitious.
I liked the first part of the second season of 'The Shield', but like I said before I like to see more sex and nudity when its a cable television show that I'm watching.
I also starting watching the first season of the show 'Lost' on the netflix website and I was very surprised by how good it was.
It was so good in fact I'm going to go put 'Lost' in my queue now.

Little Miss Sunshine

Last night I finished watching the movie 'Little Miss Sunshine'.
I liked it so I give the dvd of 'Little Miss Sunshine' a score of 80 out of 100.
Last week when I realized that this was the next movie that I would recieve in the mail I began to dred getting the mail because I automatically thought that this was a movie that I wasn't going to like.
When I first signed up for this dvd service I first selected the movies that were voted to be the top one hundred movies and this movie was on that list, otherwise I probably would of never of rented this movie.
But I am really glad that I did rent this movie because like I already stated I really liked this movie.
The dvd was actually two sided on one side was the widescreen version and on the other was the big screen version.
I assummed that each version was the same movie but just in different formats so I didn't bother to watch both versions on my laptop.
The dvd also had to two commentary tracks for the movie, one of them featured the two directors or producers, I forget what title they gave themselves but they were husband and wife as well.
The other commentary track featured the two directors and the writer of the script.
And the dvd also included featured some music video by one of the bands that had their music in the movie and it also included two or three alternate endings, but no real interviews with the stars of the movie.
And of course the other stuff that you would consider standard for dvd were also included, you know different languages, scene selections, and the trailers to other movies.
If the dvd would included interviews with the cast of the movie, a making documentary sort of thing, and more deleted scenes then the dvd would of gotten a higher score in my book.
But either way I would suggest that you watch this movie because if I were rating just the movie instead of the movie and the other stuff on the dvd then I would say that this movie is one of my new favorite movies.
