The Incredible Mr. Limpet (Snap Case) (1964)

The Incredible Mr. Limpet (Snap Case)

Ever wonder what would happen if the imaginary worlds of Bedknobs and Broomsticks and SpongeBob SquarePants were to collide? If so, chances are good you’ve yet to discover The Incredible Mr. Limpet. Starring the irrepressible Don Knotts, this 1964 family feature combines live (land) action and animated (undersea) sequences with delightful results. During World War II, Knotts is mild-mannered, spectacle-sporting bookkeeper Henry Limpet. More than anything–he’s a fish fan and a p Read more…

Toy Story 2: Special Edition - DVD

Los Angeles Daily News, October 20, 2000

“The computer maestros at Pixar Studios are working at the top of their game, but just as importantly, so are the screenwriters.”

Andy heads off to cowboy camp leaving his toys to their own devices. Things shift into high gear when an obsessive toy collector named Al McWhiggin (owner of Al’s Toy Barn) kidnaps Woody. At Al’s apartment, Woody discovers that he is a highly valued collectible from a 1950s TV show called Read more…


The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency (2008)

The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency

The lead hails from the U.S. and the creators come from the U.K., but The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency celebrates Botswana, “the finest place on God’s Earth,” as surely as a woman’s intuition. In his final directorial effort, Anthony Minghella joins forces with producer/co-writer Richard Curtis for the pilot, in which Precious Ramotswe (Grammy-winning singer Jill Scott) makes her debut. After her father dies, Mma Ramotswe sells his cows and opens an agency, because she “want Read more…


Jeff Dunham – Arguing With Myself (2005)

Jeff Dunham - Arguing With Myself

Arguing With Myself, a recorded live performance of ventriloquist Jeff Dunham, portrays a comedian whose revival of an old-fashioned art has made ventriloquism more relevant to modern societal concerns. Starring his six main characters, from Bubba Jay, a Nascar-obsessed hick, to Peanut, a flamboyant gay monkey, Dunham’s puppets have dirty but relatively inoffensive senses of humor that mock the American Dream. One can easily see why Jay Leno champions Dunham, as his skits conta Read more…


Blue Collar Comedy Tour – One for the Road (Widescreen Edition) (2006)

Blue Collar Comedy Tour - One for the Road (Widescreen Edition)

The redneck wits of Blue Collar Comedy Tour: One for the Road have gone a little more posh in this, their final appearance together. Performing in the gorgeous, historic Warner Theater in Washington, D.C., there’s an air of class about the proceedings quickly and good-naturedly undone by the quartet’s material. Bill Engvall discusses what it was like to assemble a trampoline for his kid and make a couple of discoveries while trying it out: “One, the dog doesn’t like to jump. Two Read more…

Blazing Saddles (30th Anniversary Special Edition) (1974)

Blazing Saddles (30th Anniversary Special Edition)

essential video

Mel Brooks scored his first commercial hit with this raucous Western spoof starring the late Cleavon Little as the newly hired (and conspicuously black) sheriff of Rock Ridge. Sheriff Bart teams up with deputy Jim (Gene Wilder) to foil the railroad-building scheme of the nefarious Hedley Lamarr (Harvey Korman). The simple plot is just an excuse for a steady stream of gags, many of them unabashedly tasteless, that Brooks and his wacky cast pull off with side-split Read more…


My Big Fat Greek Wedding (2002)

My Big Fat Greek Wedding

It’s not surprising that My Big Fat Greek Wedding grew more popular over the course of its theatrical release (whereas most blockbusters open big and then drop precipitously)–not only does it have believable situations and engaging characters, but these characters (particularly our romantic heroine, Toula, played by writer and performer Nia Vardalos) look like actual human beings instead of plastic movie stars. The result is the very accessible tale of Greek-American Toula (who Read more…


I Love Lucy – The Complete Seasons 7-9 (1951)

I Love Lucy - The Complete Seasons 7-9

From Lucy-tormented Hollywood A-listers and bongo-propelled production numbers to archival goodies such as long-lost footage, there is much to love in this collection of all 13 episodes from The Lucille Ball-Desi Arnaz Show (also known as The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour). Following I Love Lucy’s sixth and final season, these monthly (give or take) specials reunited America with Ricky and Lucy (and Keith Thibodeaux’s adorable Little Ricky, still living the country life in Connecticut.
