Once again, Disney feels the need to re-release a "Little Mermaid" film. In 2000, Disney released "The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea" as a direct-to-video sequel to 1989's "The Little Mermaid." Disney is now re-releasing the sequel as a Special Edition. Unfortunately, the movie doesn't fair so well.
First and foremost, the songs are not good at all. They don't live up to the standard set by the original film. The melodies are not catchy and lack pizzazz. This was virtually Danny Troob's only attempt as a music composer. It is in fact his last. However, Troob has a longstanding relationship with Disney in their music department. He has worked as an arranger and orchestrator for such legendary films as, "Beauty and the Beast," "Aladdin," "The Lion King," among many others. Sadly, his work as a composer is sorely ...

I first heard Brian Regan do some stand up comedy back in 1998 at "Comedy Day 98" in San Francisco Golden Gate Park. While it was only a brief segment, Regan left me with a splitting side ache from laughing so hard. Everything in his comedy bit was common day occurrence, and yet he put a new spin on them unlike any other comedian.
Regan comes to DVD in "The Epitome of Hyperbole" in which he analyzes numerous topics, covering: reading, movies and parties, art and language, law, TV, space and marriage. No stone is left unturned.
Brian has a sense of humor that sometimes doesn't agree with the typical audience. Some comedy bits sound like a rambling tangent, which results in a punch line that is lost in translation. Meanwhile, other times he nails the bit.
Regan is a comedian that ...

"Chuck" is not highly original, but there is something about it that captured audiences last season. This show, for the most part, falls under the sleuthing-spy-action-comedy genre. But instead of the complete seriousness of the other crime-spy shows, "Chuck" brings humanness and comedy to the screen.
Chuck, or Charles, Bartowski (Zachary Levi) is computer geek that works the tech department at the local Buy More (closely associated with the real world Best Buy). Having been kicked out of Stanford University for cheating, Chuck moves in with his sister, Ellie (Sarah Lancaster). Chuck and his best friend, Morgan (Joshua Gomez), are the quintessential adults that never grew up. They still live in their own fantasy world. All that changes on Chuck's birthday.
One night, Chuck receives and email from his ex-roommate at Stanford, Bryce Larkin (Matthew Bomer). The moment that he opens that ...

It is refreshing to see a TV show come along and breathe new life in the programming schedule. "Pushing Daisies" does just that. The show is not all that complex, which may eventually be its downfall. The show brings together the feel and elements present in the movie "Big Fish" and the Showtime series "Dead Like Me." If that is your type of entertainment, then this show is just perfect for you.
Ned (Lee Pace) is a 30 year-old pie-maker with a special gift (or curse). With a single touch of his finger, Ned can bring the deceased back to life. With a second touch, the newly alive returns to being deceased, this time for good. One little problem. If the brought back to life beings are not touched by Ned within one minute of being brought back to life, someone ...

With songs by George and Ira Gershwin and Gene Kelly’s rapturous dancing and choreography, movie musicals just don’t come much more exuberant or gorgeous than ‘An American in Paris.’ Winner of the 1951 Best Picture Oscar (and five other Academy Awards), ‘American’ stands the test of time, largely because while artists of similar stature in their own right have come along since, there’s no one really like the Gershwins or Kelly. This film provides the real articles at the top of their form.
Kelly plays the title role, Jerry Mulligan, an ex-G.I. who after WWII has stayed on in Paris to paint. He’s content with his penniless, bohemian existence until, in quick succession, he is taken under the wing of a smitten, rich American patroness (Nina Foch) and falls for local shopgirl Lise (Leslie Caron) who, unbeknownst to Jerry, is engaged ...
