SEINFELD: Season Eight - Sony
Seinfeld may be partly to blame for America’s negative view
of New Yorkers. Though it wasn’t the first show to assert
the rudeness of Gotham’s citizens, its characters are
selfish to a fault, not that there’s anything wrong with
that. Self-obsessed comedian Jerry Seinfeld is back in the
title role, and joining him are his neurotic ex-girlfriend,
Elaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus); his chronically lazy pal,
George (Jason Alexander); and Cosmo Kramer (Michael
Richards), who takes the sitcom clichÈ of the weird neighbor
to impressive new heights. Despite their faults, they’re
some of the most hilariously watchable characters in
television history. The eighth season finds Kramer at war
with Kenny Rogers Roasters and its incessant bright light.
After his quick recovery from fiancÈe Susan’s death, George
moves on to a relationship with a prison inmate. Meanwhile,
Elaine capitalizes on a widespread love for muffin tops with
a business venture. Jerry’s near-obsessive compulsiveness
reaches new heights when his beautiful girlfriend (Kristin
Davis) unknowingly uses a toilet-tainted toothbrush. Season
eight was also memorable for introducing the phrase “yada
yada” into the modern lexicon.

ARTHUR AND THE INVISIBLES - Weinstein
Ten-year-old Arthur, in a bid to save his
grandfather’s house from being demolished, goes looking for
some much-fabled hidden treasure in the land of the Minimoys,
a tiny people living in harmony with nature. I absolutely
enjoyed this film from start to finish. This is one of those
films with “staying” power to live on for many years to
come. The story is creative giving you a sampling of action,
drama, comedy, suspense and mild horror. The cast is
superior showcasing a variety of talents from legendary Mia
Farrow and Robert De Niro to Emilio Estevez and Madonna.
Even Snoop Dog does a fine job with his minor role. The CGI
is cutting edge and the music by Eric Serra really ties the
whole film together. I think this film got caught between
two other good films and lost popularity at the box office.
Now is your chance to get the experience with the DVD
release. The DVD is presented in Widescreen format and 5.1
surround. Extras include music videos “Quest for Love” and
“Beautiful Day”, Voices of Arthur and the Invisibles,
Interactive game and theatrical trailer.
