THE COMPLETE FIRST AND SECOND SEASONS:
BOSTON LEGAL: SEASON ONE (reviewed by Brett Cullum, overall score
90/100):
"Boston Legal showcases what makes a David E. Kelley show great:
brilliantly cast characters, lots of off the wall humor, impossible
romantic matches, and the goofiest trials you've ever heard of which can
go anywhere."

CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN 2 (reviewed by Eric Profancik, overall score
82/100):
"The same silly stunts. The same bad jokes. The same nonsensical
madness. The same Steve Martin in physical pratfalls. Same. Same. Same."

DEADWOOD: THE COMPLETE SECOND SEASON (reviewed by Neal Masri, overall
score 96/100):
"More than anything else, Season Two is the story of a society being
built by the blood and sweat of those tough enough to live there."

THE DIRTY DOZEN: TWO-DISC SPECIAL EDITION (reviewed by James A. Stewart,
overall score 89/100):
"Even if you've never seen The Dirty Dozen, you've heard of it. You've
seen bits of it turn up in countless other action movies. If you watch
action movies, it's time to see one of the originals."

THE 4400: THE COMPLETE SECOND SEASON (reviewed by Eric Profancik,
overall score 90/100):
"In another way to look at that statement, it's a very delicate and
polite way of saying that the season starts of riveting and fresh but
ends up feeling a tad stale."
FULL REVIEW: http://www.dvdverdict.com/reviews/4400season2.php
HARLAN COUNTY USA (reviewed by Russell Engebretson, overall score
100/100):
"Director Barbara Kopple's Harlan County USA won the 1976 Academy Award
for Documentary Feature and was granted a listing on the National Film
Registry. It established a benchmark for subsequent documentaries that
has rarely been equaled."

TRANSAMERICA (reviewed by Jennifer Malkowski, overall score 93/100):
"As an indie screenwriter, Tucker resists easy resolutions at every
turn, instead offering the half-victories and small steps that
characterize life much more fully than most Hollywood movies would have
us believe. Somehow his resolutions are just a lot more fun than most
independent films, too."

VIRIDIANA: CRITERION COLLECTION (reviewed by Brett Cullum, overall
score 89/100):
"If you're a fan of the arty Davids (Lynch and Cronenberg), this is
required viewing. Viridiana provides all the arty melodrama of A History
of Violence coupled with the stunning visuals of Eraserhead."

WINGS: THE COMPLETE FIRST AND SECOND SEASONS (reviewed by David Johnson,
overall score 83/100):
"Man, there are probably a ton of bad airplane-themed taglines I could
conjure: 'Take off with great comedy!' or 'Put your seats in a full,
upright position -- and laugh!' or 'Always bet on black.'"
