“It’s been a long time getting from there to here.”

But it's finally arrived. We now have all four seasons of Star Trek: Enterprise on high-definition Blu-ray collections. On the surface, this was the easiest show to release on Blu-ray. It's the only Trek series already in widescreen format, and it's the only one to have been filmed, at least partially, in high definition to begin with. There was a risk, however. The series has gotten some of the most mixed reviews of any of the shows in the franchise. The truth is, it's been getting kinder buzz in the years since it left the air. In fact, most people, myself included, feel that Enterprise was at its very best when it was taken off the air

"If you want to achieve something, you'll find a way. If you don't, you'll find an excuse. And we're all utterly sick of hearing excuses."

There are no excuses when it comes to Cinemax's Strike Back. Finding a way is exactly what this team does and what this series is about. These guys can shoot it out with about 200 terrorists and come out with barely a scratch. We're talking action of the highest order. And that was just season 1. Wait until you find out what these guys are up to in season 2. Regulars won't survive, and a lot of bad guys are going to get killed

"So no one told you life was gonna be this way. Your job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's D O A. It's like you're always stuck in second gear. When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month or even your year. But I'll be there for you..."

And for ten years and 236 episodes, they were there for you. It was part of NBC's famous Must See TV Thursday Night. The show has been a perennial Top 10 placeholder in the Nielsen ratings.

It’s that time of year when the studios enjoy churning out their holiday films to help get people into the holly jolly spirit of things.  Thankfully for us bah-humbuggers out there, studios also release films that kick dirt in the face of the holiday season.  Silent Night isn’t the film to play after a night of caroling while trimming the tree and listening to the fire crackle.  Instead this is the film to watch with a six pack and a group of friends to just blow off some steam.

In 1975, Gerald Ford was President of the United States, Wheel of Fortune made its debut, disco was groovy, and Patti Smith burst onto the music scene with her debut album, Horses. She would go on to become known as the “Godmother of Punk” and greatly influence the New Wave genre of music. I admit, before watching this concert, I had only heard one of Smith’s songs — her #1 single, “Because the Night” — so I was curious to hear more of her material. The fact that my aunt says she still owns an LP of Horses she bought as a teenager intrigued me more.

"What's out there? Out in the great beyond? And what's beyond that? What's beyond beyond? The answer is, I don't know. And quite frankly, I don't want to know."

There is a lot of talent in front and behind the camera on this film, and if this film delivered on its potential this could be a surprise moneymaking giant.  Unfortunately this film doesn’t manage to live up to its potential and becomes a missed opportunity for all involved.  I’m not saying I didn’t like the movie; in fact I enjoyed quite a bit, but when you have Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn and Jonah Hill headlining your movie

Our friends over A&E are staying in the baseball post-season spirit by giving us three copies of 100 Years As The Heart Of Red Sox Nation. Now you have a chance to visit the "green monster" any time you like. The best part? It's free.

To win just follow these instructions.

The title might be a bit misleading this year. Alicia is not so "good" this season. She's tougher and more willing to make the hard choices. She's more cutthroat in court and even when it comes to asserting her position in the firm and with her cheating husband. This is not the "stand by your man" show it might have appeared to be when it began. It's evolved, and that only makes for better television.

Our pals over at CBS/Paramount have given us a copy of NCIS The 9th Season to give away. You get all 24 episodes on 6 discs. Join Gibbs and his team for a 9th year of explosive drama.

To win a copy of this prize, follow these instructions.
