True Blood, first season.

I just finished watching the dvd's for the first season of True Blood, and I liked it.
I watch a lot of movies and tv shows on the netflix website which doesn't include any extras that I would like to see come with the dvd's.
I pretty much expect to see several things on the dvd's.
One of those things would be a 'making of video' which wasn't included in the dvd's of this tv show.
Also I would like to see interviews with the actors and/or directors of the movie/tv show, which wasn't included in the dvd's of this show.
And the last two things that I would like to see included on the dvd would be audio commentaries and footage or scenes that were edited out of the final cut.
There were audio commentaries included on each dvd of this show but there wasn't an audio commentary on each episode of the show.
But there wasn't any scenes that were edited out of the final cut of the episodes included in the dvd's.
But there were some interesting little bonus features that were included on the last dvd of this season that gave me some insight into the world of True Blood.
If I were rating these dvd's just on the episodes themselves then I would give a rating of 100, which is the highest rating.
But since I'm rating the dvd's as a whole then I give the first season of True Blood a rating of 95, which still is really good but I would of liked to see some more extras.
This is a good website to give you more information about the True Blood.

the great masters of the italian renaissance

I rented the dvd that I mentioned above from netflix.com and I just spent the afternoon watching it.
I think my time could of been spent in a more entertaining way, but if your studying the renaissance and or painting then maybe you might want to take a look at this.
I am not really looking forward to watching the rest of these dvd's, but once they arrive I will watch them none-the-less.
I shouldn't really imply that this dvd was worthless or that I didn't learn anything or that I wasn't at least a little bit inspired, but I am implying that this dvd was boring.

New rating system.

From now on the rating system will be as follows:
The highest score will be 100.
The lowest score will be 0 (zero).
This way I can differentiate the movies and books I really really really like from the ones I really like.

For example, I really really really like the tv show Californication so I give it a score of 100.
And, I liked the dvd that I just reviewed, Pollock, so I give it a score of 90.
And I give the dvd's of the first season of Torchwood a score of 60, although I would of given it a lower score if it weren't for a couple of the episodes that I really liked.

Pollock

I just finished watching the movie 'Pollock'.
I watched on dvd from the website that I have already mentioned.
The movie Pollock is about the American Painter Jackson Pollock who became famous during the early 1950's.
It was a really good movie and dvd.
If you are an artist then I would suggest watching it for sure.
I give the dvd five stars out of five stars.

Californication and Torchwood

Californication is my new favorite tv show, but as of right now I am only able to watch it on dvd or on the netflix website because I don't have cable.
I finished watching the first season of Californication on the netflix website and I really really liked it.
I give the first season of Californication, as seen on the netflix website, six out of five stars.
Earlier in the week I received the final dvd of the first season of the British tv show Torchwood.
I of course receive dvd's in the mail from netflix as I have stated many times in the past.
The last dvd of the first season of Torchwood was actually really disappointing because it was just all of the extras that were already included on the other dvd's.
Overall, I think Torchwood was okay.
Although some of the episodes were really good, but they weren't all good enough.
I give the first season of Torchwood on dvd three and a half stars out of five stars.
I am really looking forward to the next season of Californication...where as with Torchwood I could take it or leave it.

I am considering changing my grading scale from out of five to a one hundred point scale...
