Doctor Who: The Complete Sixth Series

November 26, 2011 by Momstart 2 Comments

I’ve been waiting for Doctor Who The Complete Sixth Series to come out after being teased with only the first half of the series. I had to know what happened to River and wow, the series is getting interesting. In the first half of the Series Dr. Who was killed, but we didn’t know who did it they were wearing a space suit. Now as I was watching that episode we found out that there was a little girl a space suit back in 1969, I think was the year. That girl was River, but I never once thought it was the same spacesuit, but now it makes sense why the doctor would send them there. Are you confused yet?

Doctor Who has a way of confusing you into enjoying what you’re watching. On November 22^nd, Whovians can join The Eleventh Doctor (Matt Smith) and Amy Pond (Karen Gillan) as they make their triumphant return in a season filled with fresh thrills, new monsters and pulse-pounding adventures. Plentiful extras include a 60-minute Christmas Special; Doctor Who Confidential, an inside look at each episode; audio commentary; trailers and more.

Doctor Who: The Complete Sixth Series is excellent. I think when I reviewed the first half of Doctor Who The Complete Sixth Series I said that I miss David Tennant, well, I’m over it. Matt Smith is a really good Doctor Who. I’m really interested to see how it ends and if they are planning on ending the series all together or if the Doctor finds a way to save his own life even if it creates the biggest time paradox ever. Did River really kill The Doctor? Does she even know who she killed. I need Spoilers people!

10 Reasons Why I Love Doctor Who Series 6 Part 1 and Waiting for Part 2

July 29, 2011 by Momstart 10 Comments

It was just a few weeks ago, I was in my hotel room on one of my blogging trips watching TV and got to see an episode of Doctor Who Series 5, but at the time I didn’t realize what series I was watching and I didn’t care. I was just so excited to be watching Doctor Who on TV. Since we don’t have cable we watch everything as it comes out on DVD and we haven’t purchased Dr. Who Series 5 yet, not having seen Matt Smith play the role yet; I’m still personally in turmoil over David Tennant leaving the role.

But now, I’ve seen Matt Smith in action as Doctor Who and figured out who River is, but there is a huge gap for me as to how Amy and Rory met and what they did the season before. So I HAVE to go back and watch Doctor Who: Series 5. Here is why I LOVED Doctor Who Series 6 Part 1.

1. Doctor Who: Series 6, Part 1 is a two-disc DVD and Blu-ray set containing the first seven episodes along with two Monster files, “The Gangers” and “The Silence,” two of the Doctor’s most challenging opponents.

2. River Song is such an awesome character.

3. In the season opener, “The Impossible Astronaut,” four envelopes are received, numbered 2, 3 and 4, each containing a date, time and map reference, unsigned, but in TARDIS blue. Who sent them? And who received the missing number one? This strange summons reunites the Doctor (Smith), Amy (Gillan), Rory (Darvill) and River Song (Kingston) in the middle of the Utah desert and unveils a terrible secret the Doctor’s friends must never reveal to him. ‘Space 1969’ is their only clue, as their quest lands them – quite literally – in the Oval Office, where they are enlisted by President Nixon himself to assist enigmatic former-FBI agent Canton (Mark Sheppard) in saving a terrified little girl from a mysterious spaceman.

4. I knew right away who that little girl was.

5. Following the two-parter, the Doctor, Amy and Rory journey on the high seas of 1696 aboard Avery’s (Bonneville) pirate ship to solve the mystery of the Siren (Cole).

6. In a bubble universe at the very edge of reality, the Doctor meets an old friend with a new face, and in a monastery on a remote island in the near future, an industrial accident takes on a terrible human shape.

7. The two-parter episodes always leave me hanging and wanting more Doctor Who ASAP.

8. Everyone that ever owed the Doctor a favor returns to repay the debt.

9. The battle of Demon’s Run, and the Doctor’s darkest hour. Can even the truth about River Song save the Time Lord’s soul? Only two things are certain. Silence will fall. And a good man is going to die…

10. I was on the edge of my seat and still am. I have unanswered questions from the first episode. Was that the real Doctor who died?

Event of the Year on DVD: The Royal Wedding

June 4, 2011 by Momstart 1 Comment

I’m wondering if in 20-30 years people will wonder, what was I doing during The Royal Wedding? Did you stay up and watch it, or get up early depending on your time zone? My neighbor recorded it and played it for me and our kids the following day. Zoe and her friend just LOVED it. I was in shock, I didn’t think my four year old would like it at all, I figured she would think it was boring and bolt. Nope, she watched it and said, I’m going to marry a prince. When asked how many princes she thought lived in the world, she said, two. One for me and one for Emily (that’s her friend’s name)

The royal wedding of Prince William to Kate Middleton was the event of a lifetime. BBC Video is making available this beautiful, commemorative DVD of the event on sale on May 24^th! This wonderful keepsake will capture all of the pomp and pageantry of the historic occasion like no other memento. The DVD will include the complete ceremony plus highlights from the official BBC pre- and post-wedding coverage. Also included is the special bonus program, “William and Kate: A Royal Engagement,” presenting the story of William and Kate’s relationship via interviews with colleagues, friends and family. Lovers of the crown will want to own this special, commemorative DVD of this most delightful of events, the Royal Wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton.

Her dress did give me the green eyed monster, but most wedding dresses do. I love dresses and somehow I’ve passed that gene onto my daughter. She’s in a dress everyday, and I did mean to say gene and not character trait because I never wear dresses, so how does she know that I love to wear dresses. As a mom I just don’t get the chance to wear many dresses.

Own the Royal Wedding on DVD today.

BBC Earth Human Planet

April 25, 2011 by Momstart Leave a Comment

We love nature films, especially ones that are done so well. BBC Earth is one of the best when it comes to showing us our planet in ways we could only imagine. Human Planet is a three disc extravaganza of astounding images of our beautiful planet released on Blu-ray April 26th, 2011. Human Planet takes us through nature as humans. We’re the main focus of Human planet. The camera follows how people live in all the different parts of the world.

The three discs are broken down into:

Disc 1 – Oceans Deserts Arctic

I love the ocean, the sounds of the waves, the animals that live in it (except for jelly fish I was stung by a man of war once OUCH) and the fun you can have when you catch a wave. Watch the evolution of surfing here:

And I was amazed at how far a pregnant woman could walk through the desert to find a place to give birth and at how cold some people can stand it.

Disc 2 – Jungles Mountains Grasslands

It wasn’t until I watched this scene in Human Planet that I ever would have considered birds to be a pest that needed to be fumigated against. This scene you’re about to watch is a little bit upsetting, but when I think of people going hungry verses the loss of all these birds I pick people.

Disc 3 – Rivers Cities Extras

Living in the US we’re so fortunate on how close and convenient every thing is. Could you actually imagine making a trek through the snow and ice, climbing a mountain just to make it to school? You have to watch this clip from BBC Human Planet just to get a glimpse into how hard it can be.

Human Planet was amazingly put together. As you travel around different places you’ll find some very extreme cases of how others live. John Hurt narrates each segment sharing with us so much variety on human behavior amazing, complex and profound. The Human Planet series weaves together 80 different stories illuminating humanity’s uncanny ability to adapt and live in every corner of our diverse world. Each episode centers on a particular habitat, and by using innovative and cutting edge filming techniques, they are able to reveal how we as a human race have created astonishing solutions to the extreme adversity brought on by our environment. Us city dwellers have a LOT TO LEARN about true adversity and challenges.

The Discovery Channel version will be presented by Charles Parnell and consists of six episodes that will take viewers to the farthest reaches of the globe culminating with, "Life at the Extremes a “best of” episode. The Human Planet Blu-ray will include all eight episodes with three hours of footage that was not seen in the North American broadcast. It includes, Cities, which will be exclusive to the DVD and Blu-ray. Also only on the DVD and Blu-ray is the “making of” bonus features and the exclusive feature called Zanskar, Zanskar showcases the astonishing life struggles of a resilient group of people living at the edge of the Himalayas.

The educational aspect of Human Planet reminds me of how everyone lives differently. We may look at some of the things shown in Human Planet as wrong, but it’s because we live our lives in a lap of luxury. I think Human Planet is a great way to educate others and remind ourselves how humans survive all around the globe. Own it on Blu-ray Human Planet

Win It:

The official Human Planet Facebook page launched a “Human Planet Trivia Challenge Game” last week. There you will have opportunities to win DVD/Blu-ray copies as well as coffee table books and framed photographs from famed nature photographer, Timothy Allen.

Merlin The Complete Second Season on DVD

January 22, 2011 by Momstart Leave a Comment

I’ve always been a fan of imaginative worlds that might have existed once upon a time; legends. Legends and folklore captivate my attention and one of the best legends around is the story of Camelot, King Arthur and the nights of the round table. Merlin a BBC America production has been viewable in America on one of my favorite channels, ScyFy. Merlin the Complete Second Season became available on DVD January 18th.

Merlin is about the forging of a strong relationship between the future King Arthur and his servant the warlock Merlin. In a land where magic is strictly prohibited, Merlin secretly uses it every day to protect the future of Camelot and his best friend Arthur. I watched Season Two and loved it! I was so happy to see the Lady Morgana finally embrace her path to the dark side. She is completely evil now in Season 3, oh wait, I’m getting ahead of myself but I can’t help myself because she is one of my favorite characters.

You’ll find that I enjoyed Merlin the Complete Second Season so much that I had an extremely difficult time waiting for Season 3 to begin. I know Merlin felt like he really couldn’t trust Morgana, but I almost feel that if he would have shared his secret with her, he would have saved the whole kingdom a lot of trouble. Just my 2 random cents there!!

Synopsis: Merlin is back with even more magic, adventure and romance as the young wizard struggles to protect Prince Arthur in the perilous world of Camelot. While battling deadly assassins, mystical monsters and the most powerful sorcerers Camelot has ever seen, Merlin must work harder than ever to conceal his unique abilities, as King Uther redoubles his war against magic. And Merlin isn’t the only one whose destiny calls—Lady Morgana , Uther’s ward, discovers dangerous secrets she dare not reveal; Lancelot returns, changing everything for both Gwen and Arthur; and King Uther fall in love, little knowing that the charming Lady Catrina is secretly a hideous troll. And as Arthur continues on his path from arrogant prince to the noble and just King Arthur of legend, we see the return of the one prophesized to kill him—the mysterious druid boy, Mordred. Featuring exciting new villains, white-knuckle stunt sequences, and spectacular CGI monsters, Merlin season two is more thrilling than ever.

I received a copy of Merlin The Complete Second Season from BBC for my unbiased review.

Life is the latest wildlife blockbuster from the BBC’s award-winning Natural History Unit, the producers of Planet Earth and The Blue Planet. Oprah Winfrey is the narrator in this 4 disc epic.

We love movies like Earth by BBC, and Life is packed with excitement, revelation, entertainment, and stunning screen firsts. I love the scenes, and colors, they looks so good that at times it is hard to believe that all of this is actual footage. I would even go as far as saying that Life is step above Earth. This breathtaking ten-part blockbuster presents 130 incredible stories from the frontiers of the natural world and I am mesmerized, I especially like the slow motion scenes, so amazing. Through these excellent camera shots I was able to discover the glorious variety of life on Earth and the spectacular and extraordinary tactics animals and plants have developed to stay alive, individual creatures under extreme pressure to overcome challenges from adversaries and their environment, pushing the boundaries of behavior. Becoming an excellent educational video worth watching!! Own it on DVD on June 1st.

Hamlet Review

May 13, 2010 by Momstart 7 Comments

I have watched BBC America’s new version of Hamlet about three times since it arrived last month from Warner Brothers. Two of my all time favorite actors are starring in this play brought to DVD and TV by BBC. When David Tennant first decided to take a break from Dr. Who, he was cast as Hamlet on stage in the London Theater. I wanted to go see the performance live, but that was next to impossible since I live so far away and tickets would have been insane just to fly to London. So, when I found out they were going to make a DVD that I could buy I was ecstatic. I was even more excited when I found out that Warner Brothers was going to send me one to review free.

I’m a huge science fiction fan, that goes back to the beginning of Star Trek Next Generation. Patrick Stewart was a great captain of a spaceship named Enterprise, and now he’s well known for other movies like Xmen, but nothing has been as good him in this:

“Patrick Stewart as Claudius”

Synopsis: David Tennant and Patrick Stewart star in this critically acclaimed production of Shakespeare’s masterpiece from Britain’s renowned Royal Shakespeare Company. No recent stage production in Britain has attracted the excitement and nearly unanimous critical praise as this Hamlet. Tennant’s interpretation was recognized as defining the role for a generation, and Stewart’s complex Claudius won the Olivier award, Britain’s highest stage honor. In this specially-shot screen version, filmed on location rather than in the theater, Tennant and Stewart reprise their roles. Dynamic, exciting and contemporary, it breathes new life into Shakespeare’s greatest play.

Featured Actors: David Tennant (Doctor Who), Patrick Stewart (X-Men, Star Trek: The Next Generation), Oliver Ford Davis (Waking the Deadi), Penny Downie, Mariah Gale

DVD/Production Highlights:

Ø This title will have additional awareness as it premieres April 28, 2010 on PBS’s Great Performances

Ø Stars David Tennant (Doctor Who) as Hamlet and Patrick Stewart (X-Men, Star Trek: The Next Generation) as Claudius

Ø Based on the critically acclaimed Royal Shakespeare stage production

Ø Critics Praise include: “without a doubt, one of the finest productions of Hamlet I have ever seen, led by an actor of extraordinary courage and charisma.” – Daily Telegraph and “the finest TV production of Shakespeare… intense and frightening as any modern psychological thriller” Daily Mail

Available on DVD: May 4th

Official Site URL: www.bbcamericashop.com

Watching David Tennant and Patrick Stewart recite Shakespeare’s play Hamlet actually gave even more understanding to a production I already know and love. I remember watching another version and in some scenes I had no idea what was going on. I never before understood why Ophelia killed herself. I thought it was because Hamlet rejected her, but no, that was only part of her losing her wits, it was that Hamlet killed her father. How I could miss that, I have no idea. In this version I even wondered about Hamlet’s sanity myself. He seemed quite crazy, even though he was just pretending to be crazy. Seemed to me, losing his father pushed him over the edge too. I loved how they modernized it. Some of the outfits that David Tennant wore were insane. His muscle man shirt just cracked me up. You have to watch this movie to truly get the spirit of Hamlet.

Warner Brothers sent me a copy of this DVD to facilitate this review on behalf of BBC America.

I also have two children’s DVD’s Care Bears in Share-a-Lot in Care-a-Lot from Lionsgate, and NoonBory & the Super7 from NCircle.

Hamlet:

Enjoy the greatest performance of Hamlet. With David Tennant playing Hamlet and Patrick Stewart as The King and Claudius, what isn’t there to love. When I found out they were having this play in London, I wanted to grab the next flight to see it performed live. I can’t tell you how happy I was to see it be transformed into DVD for all to see. Watching this version made me understand things that I have never been able to understand before. Even my husband felt that the pentameter was perfect for dialogue. We’ve watched it twice together.

Where’s Spot:

My children love Spot and what he’s getting into. In fact, when we went to the library we had to check out some Where’s Spot library books. I love that Where’s Spot was on Playhouse Disney, more people have a subscription to Disney than BBC America, we don’t have either right now so when Warner Brothers sent us a copy to review we were all quite ecstatic.

The 30th anniversary DVD of Where’s Spot has six episodes and what Miles loves is that every episode has a special song. My son loves to sing and when he gets a song in his head it’s a beautiful thing.

Synopsis:

This April, the BBC celebrates the 30^th anniversary of the ever-curious and always adorable puppy, Spot, with the DVD release – Where’s Spot? 30^th Anniversary Edition.

Noonbory & the Super7:

Watching Noonbory & The Super7 with my kids was at first very confusing, then I realized, I was just asleep. It’s not boring to the kids, they love it. So when I woke up I found that it’s teaching the kids about their senses. Touch, Smell, Taste, Sight and Hearing, each represent a different character and then you have Noonbory who seems to be their leader. Kids loved it.

Synopsis:

When trouble is brewing or super silly villainy is taking place in the whimsical world of Tobalooba, it’s up to Noonbory and his sensational team of super-sensing problem solvers to save the day! Each of our superhero borys has a super sense, including sight, sound taste, touch, smell and of course, a little common sense and nonsense never hurts.

Merlin Season 1 Review and Giveaway

April 21, 2010 by Momstart 175 Comments

My husband and I spent the last week watching Season 1 of Merlin. I’m a big fan of the King Arthur legend and even though Merlin, staggers in left field of the legends it is still quite an entertaining series. Merlin finds his way to Camelot, where Uthor Pendgraon is the reigning king. He has outlawed all use of magic and that is quite a complication for Merlin, the warlock. He finds it hard to become Prince Arthor’s friend but over time and through all the trials they both become great friends. Neither one is willing to admit it though, because how can a Prince and his servant become friends. That’s right, Merlin becomes Arthur’s servant as a reward for saving the Prince’s life.

What a pair these two are, also along for the journey is the lovely Lady Morgana who I’m sure is going to become evil and her servant Guenivere. Nothing is as it should be in this version of Arthur and Camelot, but if you have a heart for magic and knights, then you’re sure to love Merlin.
