Blu-Ray Review: Final Season of FOX Hit ‘24’ With Kiefer Sutherland
Submitted by BrianTT on December 23, 2010 - 1:25pmCHICAGO – 2011 will be an undeniably different year on the television landscape as it will be the first in some time with no “Lost” and no “24.” When the history books are written about the most-influential and important programs of the first decade of the new millennium, they would be incomplete without a chapter on Jack Bauer and the incredible success of FOX’s “24.” The final season is now available on Blu-ray and DVD, closing an important program with a comparably-lackluster installment but a great BD.
Blu-Ray Review: Third Season of ‘Battlestar: Galactica’ Now in HD
Submitted by BrianTT on August 2, 2010 - 10:08amCHICAGO – How many “Battlestar Galactica” fans don’t already have the excellent third season in some form? The release pattern of “BSG” on Blu-ray continues to surprise this critic as it feels like the niche market who doesn’t own the complete HD series or hasn’t already bought the standard DVD is very small, meaning that the question for most is going to be whether or not to upgrade.
Blu-Ray Review: Second Season of ‘Battlestar Galactica’ Available in HD
Submitted by BrianTT on April 9, 2010 - 11:22amCHICAGO – Releasing seasons of hit shows that have only been available for a few years in the first place on Blu-ray can be a tricky proposition, especially when it’s not the first. What fan of “Battlestar Galactica” doesn’t own the second season of this great show? If you’re one of the few who hasn’t completed their collection because you’ve been waiting for HD, today’s your lucky day.
TV Review: Promising Eighth Season of ‘24’ Starts With a Bang
Submitted by BrianTT on January 17, 2010 - 12:55pmCHICAGO – Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) returns tonight in the eighth season premiere of one of the most influential shows of the ’00s, the often-brilliant “24”. At its best, FOX’s “24” is visceral entertainment, an adrenalin-pumped hour often unmatched by its many copycats.
TV Review: Final Season of ‘Nip/Tuck’ Starts With Lackluster Premiere
Submitted by BrianTT on October 14, 2009 - 12:39pmCHICAGO – Let’s be honest: “Nip/Tuck” has been in need of a face lift for years. The show arguably jumped the shark when The Carver took over (in season three) and has never quite looked the same since. Even with the sizable flaws of the last two seasons, “Nip/Tuck” was never boring. It even showed flashes of creator Ryan Murphy’s occasional genius in the seasons since.
Blu-Ray Review: Complete Your ‘Battlestar Galactica’ Collection With Season 4.5
Submitted by BrianTT on August 7, 2009 - 4:25pmCHICAGO – When the decade began, who would have guessed that one of the best shows of the ’00s would air on The Sci-Fi Channel? I’m as much of a science fiction junkie as the next guy, but the network known for straight-to-cable movies like “Mansquito” and “SS Doomtrooper” wasn’t exactly the go-to place for quality drama. Until “Battlestar Galactica”.
