Commander Harmon Rabb, Jr. and Lieutenant Colonel Sarah MacKenzie are JAG lawyers, who together investigate and litigate crimes committed by Navy and Marine personnel. Occasionally, they engage in adventurous activities in order to solve their cases. With Rabb’s fighter pilot background, and MacKenzie’s good looks, they are a hot team both in and out of the courtroom. The adventures continue as Harmon Rab, Sarah McKenzie and Admiral Chegwidden dodge bullets and narrowly escape perils with season four of J.A.G. Season four continues the intense action, adventure, and courtroom drama with more character interaction and a growing story arc. David James Elliot and Catherine Bell are getting closer by the episode. Bud and Harriet are experiencing married life and Rab is hot on the trail to finding his father. Some highlights from this season include the season premiere episode “Gypsy Eyes” continuing the search for Harm’s father in Russia and “Going after Francesca” involving the Admiral rescuing his daughter from kidnappers. This season was perhaps one of my favorites solely because the characters were completely established and the show had a purpose. The fourth season DVD box set presents all 24 episodes on six discs. All of the episodes are in Full Screen Format with Dolby Digital sound. The only extra in this set is a very funny gag reel.

When stubborn farmer, Dan Evans (Ven Heflin), attempts to bring wanted criminal, Ben Wade (Glenn Ford) to the authorities in Yuma and collect the reward, he’s in for quite a challenge. Desperate, the captive criminal offers the poor farmer $10,000 to set him free. While waiting for the train, the two men engage in a brutal battle of wills and as Evans eludes Wade’s gang of miscreant thugs, he must fight his own moral battle and catch the 3:10 to Yuma. A poignant and chilling western, 3:10 TO YUMA evokes more thought and emotion with its timing and clever scripting than most traditional shot gun-riddled Westerns ever achieve.

The Lives of Others traces the gradual disillusionment of Captain Gerd Wiesler (Ulrich Muhe), a highly skilled officer who works for the Stasi, East Germany’s all-powerful secret police. His mission is to spy on a celebrated writer and actress couple, Georg Dreyman (Sebastian Koch) and Christa-Maria Sieland (Martina Gedeck). Five years before its downfall, the former East- German government (known as the GDR, German Democratic Republic) ensures its claim to power with a ruthless system of control and surveillance via the Stasi, a vast network of informers that at one time numbered 200,000 out of a population of 17 million. Their goal is to know everything about “the lives of others.”

The magical underground realm of Fraggle Rock is situated behind a wall in inventor Doc’s laboratory, in this charming series from the master of puppets. Doc’s dog Sprocket knows something is back there, and is constantly trying to get to the fraggles, while far below in the brightly lit caverns, the furry fraggles frolic and play, learning valuable lessons along the way. All 24 episodes of the first season are included here, as Wembley, Gobo, Red, Mobley, and Boober have exciting adventures and present their catchy, infectious repertoire of songs. Adults will revel in the memories while children will delight in the newfound fun, as Wembley cares for a baby Tree Creature in “Wembley’s Egg,” and Gobo brings Doc’s radio to Fraggle Rock in “Manny’s Land of Carpets.” Other episodes include “The Secret of Convincing John,” “A Cave of One’s Own,” and “Doozer is as a Doozer Does.”

Director John Boorman’s harrowing adaptation of James Dickey’s best-selling novel is a nightmarish descent into backwoods Americana.

When four unsuspecting urbanites head into the mountains of northern Georgia for a weekend canoe trip, they have no idea what’s in store for them. The group’s macho leader, Lewis Medlock (Burt Reynolds), is driven by Hemingway-esque notions of man’s ability to conquer nature, while his three friends--Bobby Trippe (Ned Beatty), Drew Ballinger (Ronny Cox), and Ed Gentry (Jon Voight)--aren’t so sure. As the men begin to navigate their way down the precarious rapids, they discover that nature isn’t the only one out to get them. The eventual appearance of two menacing hillbillies turns the vacation into an all-out nightmare.

Known mainly for playing quirkily comic characters, Parker Posey shows she can tackle a serious role just as skillfully in Zoe Cassevetes’s moving film. Broken English stars Posey as Nora Wilder, a thirtysomething whose disastrous dating experiences in the Big Apple have put her on the verge of giving up all hope when it comes to love and happiness. Constant comparisons to her best friend Audrey’s (Drea de Matteo) seemingly perfect marriage, and her overbearing mother’s (Gena Rowlands) fixations on her single status wear on Nora, making her vulnerable to even the slightest hint of male attention, like the advances she gets from a sexy and famous actor (Justin Theroux) who begins bunking at the chic hotel where she works. After a string of equally failed attempts, Nora starts to wonder if there’s something wrong with her. It’s at this ultimate low when a visiting Frenchman (Melvil Poupaud) swoops in with charm and aggressively woos Nora, who, despite being filled with reluctance, cannot shake the feeling that this one might be different. Though Broken English eventually settles into basic rom-com territory, it’s pleasant and good-natured, and Parker Posey is spellbinding throughout the movie.

Ray Barone (Ray Romano) enjoys a successful career as a sportswriter and has a stable, happy family life with a loving wife and three great kids. Unfortunately for Ray, he can’t shake the attention of his overbearing parents who live across the street, but spend so much time at the Barone family residence that they might as well live there.
