PLEASE NOTE: This review is for the BLU-RAY titled "Season 2, Part 2" listing...NOT for the DVD listing, as the DVD listing is correct in that it is Season 2, Part 2. However, the Blu-ray listing is for the COMPLETE Season 2.

Disregard the current listing and cover-art. This is the Complete 2nd Season with all 26 episodes. Amazon.ca has their title wrong. They have already been notified by TVShowsOnDVD that it's incorrect. Please see their news item dated 4/11/13 on the issue for confirmation of my claim.

Although I have not seen these episodes, I give this release 5 stars, because if it's as good as the first season, it will rock. For those put off by the cartoony looking characters..don't be...the writing and the stories in this series are just awesome, with each episode ending with a post story line cliff-hanger. Voice acting is excellent as well. Can't wait to see this season as I hear they introduce more characters including The Vision, which ironically was just introduced in the Facebook game "Avengers Alliance."

OK, I'd like to start off saying that I haven't bought a PC game in well over a year. Just nothing out there that I would want. However, LOTR: BFME might just be a game that gets me to break my game buying hiatus. Well, there's a couple coming out between now and then that I may buy if I can afford to. But anyway, there's a few issues that I worry about with this game.

Yes, the graphics are good, based on a up-dated version of the Command & Conquer: Generals engine, which is supposed to be able to support thousands of 3D animated troops on the field. But what about replayability? Being that this game is based on a 25 mission campaign as such, what will be the replay value? Will there be "skirimish modes"? Or once you're done with the campaign, you're done? Let's hope not. In fact, I'd like a random campaign generator that allows you to use the main Middle Earth strategic map to cruise around and fight your own battles. I wanna fight a battle at The Shire, darn it! Imagine an Urak-hai ransack of The Shire! Dead little Hobbitt'sis every where....

But anyway, this game, at least for its graphics and revolutionary RTS control features, should be a good addition to any RTS fan's collection.

A little clarification is in order here. Some people have asked/inquired about when "The Adventures of Batman & Robin" were going to be released. Well, ahem...it's the same show as "Batman: TAS". The first 65 episodes (1st Season) of Batman: TAS were called just that. The 2nd season, 15 episodes were renamed "The Adventures of Batman & Robin" because, surprise, these featured Robin. However, in syndicated re-runs, the entire series was renamed "The Adventures of Batman & Robin". 5 more episodes were later produced and aired, bringing the total up to 85. This closed out the series known as "Batman: TAS"/"The Adventures of Batman & Robin"

The series "The New Batman Adventures" was a completely different show. This is the one that included Superman in the title as well. This show had different animation. This show consisted of two seasons of 16 and 11 episodes respectively totalling 27 episodes. Rumor is that WB will release these sets as well. But not until the original Batman: TAS is done.

"The Superman Adventures" ran for 54 episodes consisting of 4 seasons from 13-28-10-3 episodes each respectively. I can see this series being broken up into two volumes of 27 episodes each. Which would mean that the entire "The New Batman-Superman Adventures" series would consist of yet another 3 DVD volumes.

It seems that everywhere you look on-line to fine the DVD tech specs you get different answers. Well, I'm here to set things straight.

Despite what some sites say, this R1 release is issued in Anamorphic Widescreen (1.78:1) with English Dolby 2.0 Surround. Surprisingly it's a good strong surround mix. Dialogue, despite some negetive reviews of the broadcase version, is strong and easily understandable.

The R2 release however appears to be in Dolby 5.1, which is ashame because the R1 could have benefitted from a 5.1 mix. But anyway...

Picture quality? Pretty good for a TV show. The only issue is with out-of-focus background lights. They have that digital compression "dot crawl". But other than that, all live action and special f/x look extremely sharp and clear.

Just recently bought this series in geer up for the new release of the Robocop Trilogy. Now, I'd like to see the mid-'90s Robocop series released on DVD. The only thing lacking in this series is the lack of use of Robo's automated targeting grid system. I always found that aspect very cool about the theatrical movies.

Well, I too, like others, really wanted to enjoy this film. So I went out and bought it to add to my Western collection, and gearing up for May's release of Wyatt Earp, I sat down to watch it.

Well the cinemaphotography was good, considering that it was shot around Calgary, Alberta. The two main characters were well developed. Probably too much really. But the secondary characters and most importantly the villians had very little character development. So when the final gun battle started, the viewer know little to nothing about who Costner and Duvall are shooting to kill. Therefore, you really have no emotion attached to the off-ing of a bad guy. In other words, when a bad guy was blown away, you were left asking, "Who's that?" or "What's the significance of that guy?" If you knew who these guys were, you'd probably give a darn when they'd expire. But you don't. It's just another guy who got blown half-way across the street by the "splatter gun".

Oh don't get me wrong, the final shoot-out was probably one of the best both visually and sounding Western shoot-outs ever portrayed on film, but like I said, you just didn't know who anybody was. I enjoyed it thoroughly, but had the director, I'm assuming Costner, spent more time telling who the bad guys were, the movie would have probably been one of the best westerns of all time.

I recently picked this up cheap at the local Wal Mart. It was one of those cop-type films of 2003 that I have been wanting to get. So I was gleeful at the price...bargain bin deal if you know what I mean.

But anyway, this movie reminded me of cross between 1993's "The Fugitive" and ironically 1981's "First Blood" (Rambo I). The Fugitive because of the cat and mouse game played between Tommy Lee Jones and Benicio del Torro, and First Blood because of the setting and "hunting tactics".

The movie starts out with del Torro in the middle of a battle zone during the Kosovo conflict in 1999. This was the most intense and realistic battle scene of this conflict I have ever seen on film. Great special effects and tension. You've got del Torro sneaking around, playing dead half the time, evading Serb soldiers to get to his final target, a Serbian commander who's ordering the shootings of every ethnic Albanian. This scene is what finally made del Torro flip.

So del Torro is back in the states 5 years later and starts going on a killing spree, killing a group of hunters in the north west around Portland, OR. It is then that we're introduced to Jone's character who was del Torro's killing instructor in the military. So from here on out through the rest of the movie, we see a cat and mouse game between the two ranging from environs from the forest to a waterfall/river/damn, to the city streets and industrial complex. It ends with an extremely bloody knife fight where both fighters end up near dead.

But anyway, the thing that really pulled me into the film was the great soundtrack. Very powerful and emersive 5.1 surround track. Especially the Kosovo battle.

To the viewer from Georgia, get over yourself. America is a faith-based country which in my opinion is a lot better than secular Europe where every moral fabric is breaking down.

But anyway, I haven't bought any of Rhino's G1 Transformers sets, but may sometime in the future. However I am collecting Rhino's Beast Wars sets.

I haven't seen any of these Transformers episodes since they first ran back in the '80s. But what I do remember of them, Season 3 was the one where I was starting to get the age (junior high) where buying toys became uncool. Little did I know that as a 20-something adult that I would start buying Star Wars toys. But anyway, Season 3 (and 4) of the G1 was an interesting one where a whole new set of Transformers emerged from the aftermath of the movie. I remember I found it interesting, but it just lacked the nostalgia that the first 2 seasons had with their classic line-up of 'bots. Quite frankly I could never get used to the new line-up. So my interest wained.

But I love Beast Wars. Go figure. But to say that the religious right killed Transformers? As Bill O'Reilly would say "The Most Ridiculous Item of the Day".
