Scandal – The Complete First Season

by 14 Comments

For those of you that missed any episodes of Scandal, you can now buy the complete first season on DVD.

Synopsis:  From the creator and executive producers of “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Private Practice” comes a drama revolving around the life and work of a professional crisis manager and her dysfunctional staff. A former consultant to the President, Olivia Pope dedicates her life to protecting and defending the public images of America’s elite. After leaving the White House, the power consultant opened her own firm, hoping to start a new chapter – both professionally and personally – but she can’t seem to completely cut ties with her past. Slowly it becomes apparent that her staff, who specialize in fixing the lives of other people, can’t quite fix the ones closest at hand — their own.

When it comes to TV shows, some of my favorites are ones that include a little suspense and detective work. I started watching Scandal with my oldest daughter last week and hopefully will finish the season this weekend.

Take a peek at this video clip below:

Disney’s Oz The Great And Powerful

by 11 Comments

Disney’s fantastical adventure “Oz The Great and Powerful,” imagines the origins of L. Frank Baum’s beloved character, the Wizard of Oz. When Oscar Diggs, a small-time circus magician with dubious ethics, is hurled away from dusty Kansas to the vibrant Land of Oz, he thinks he’s hit the jackpot—fame and fortune are his for the taking—that is until he meets three witches, Theodora, Evanora and Glinda, who are not convinced he is the great wizard everyone’s been expecting.

Reluctantly drawn into the epic problems facing the Land of Oz and its inhabitants, Oscar must find out who is good and who is evil before it is too late. Putting his magical arts to use through illusion, ingenuity—and even a bit of wizardry—Oscar transforms himself not only into the great and powerful Wizard of Oz but into a better man as well.

Being a fan of The Wizard Of Oz since I was a child, I cannot wait to see this. Oz The Great and Powerful” opens in U.S. theaters on March 8, 2013.

From creative genius Tim Burton (“Alice in Wonderland,” The Nightmare Before Christmas”) comes “Frankenweenie,” a heartwarming tale about a boy and his dog.

Radio Rebel DVD Review

by 16 Comments

This weekend I got a chance to watch Radio Rebel with my daughters. My daughter Hannah liked the movie so much she asked to take the DVD in her room to watch it again. When it first started playing, she immediately recognized characters from the Disney Channel.

In Radio Rebel, high school student Tara is so shy that she can’t even write one word on the white board in front of her class. What everyone else doesn’t know is that Tara happens to be Radio Rebel, one of the most popular DJ’s in Seattle. At home in her room, Tara puts on her headset and does her daily podcast where she becomes confident, outspoken and even inspiring because she is an anonymous voice on the airwaves. Once her step-dad that happens to be the owner and producer at SLAM radio find out about his step-daughters success as Radio Rebel, he moves her from her room to a sound studio to do live shows for him.

The plot in the movie gets even better when Radio Rebel starts talking and questioning her school’s staff and Principal Moreno cancels Prom and gets all the students UPSET.

Take a peek at the clip below:
