Our intrepid adolescent heroes wake up to find their beloved television stolen, and embark on an epic journey across America to recover it, and, who knows, maybe even score. On the way they encounter a murderous smuggler of a deadly virus and his treacherous wife, an FBI agent with a predilection for cavity searches, a couple of rather familiar looking ex-Motley Crue roadies, Mr. Van Dreesen singing “Lesbian Seagull”, a little old lady and of course Mr. Anderson and his trailer. Can the Great Cornholio save the day? Just when you thought the TV series was bad enough, here comes a full-length feature film. With a surprisingly stunning cast of voices including Bruce Willis, Demi Moore and Robert Stack, this is evidence that even Hollywood Stars need to eat to stay alive. I felt that the bulk of the film was degrading to the point of offensive. There were pockets of humor that made me laugh, but the overall film was pure stupidity. If you like sick, perverted humor and pointless plot, this is the film for you.

A horrific plane crash leaves 48 passengers alive and stranded on a remote island in the South Pacific. The survivors include Doctor Jack, now freed prisoner Kate, one hit wonder rock star Charlie, Iraqi military vet Sayid, and a mysterious man named Locke. For a while their goal is simple survival, but they soon realize that it was far more than mere chance that brought them together, and each of them has a purpose that will help them unlock the island’s secrets. This has to be one of the best shows on Prime Time Television. Lost is one of those shows that ropes you in and keeps you coming back for more. The only other show with this much following is the new Battlestar Galactica on sci-fi. Lost has great stories and the character development is very intense. The final scene of each episode leaves you with a cliffhanger forcing you to see the resolution in the next chapter. Michael Giacchino’s score for the show adds a new dimension to the suspense. The best part about this show is the fact that you really don’t have any idea what will happen next. This makes for great storytelling and top-notch entertainment. If you missed this show from the first season, I would strongly suggest that you spend the money and catch up.

Also, for you L & H purists, THE TREE IN A TEST TUBE, the duos only surviving color film, is included. There is also a 1950 TV interview with “Ship’s Reporter” Jack Mangan.

Benny Hill--Britain’s baron of bawdy buffoonery--bursts into full bloom in this boisterous collection from his golden fan-favorite era, The Hill’s Angels Years! Wildly popular all over the globe thanks to his trademark smirk and affinity for comic naughtiness, Benny rejuvenated the sketch-variety genre with his multi-award-winning Benny Hill Show. Satirizing everything under the sun, but sanitizing nothing, Benny and his crackerjack team of entertainers invented a squadron of crazy caricatures: lovable imbecile Fred Scuttle, avant-garde French filmmaker Pierre De Terre, and the verbally challenged Mr. Chow Mein. Backed by Benny’s half-dressed flock of frisky foxes, The Benny Hill Show continues to stand the test of time by making the world laugh itself silly. This is classic British humor at its best. If you don’t like British humor, give this a try anyway. Benny is really funny! This 3 DVD set features all 10 riotous episodes from 1982-1985. These are full-length episodes that were not shown in the US. A & E has put together a nice package here for die-hard Benny Hill fans.
