"My name is Brian Finch. I was your average 28-year-old screw-up until I took a pill called NZT. Suddenly I had access to every brain cell. And that's why the FBI hired me. There's just one problem. The NZT will kill you unless you have this shot."

Brian is a guy with a lot of dreams but no ambition to actually make them work. When we find him he's pushing an album that he hasn't even written the songs for. Hey, don't we all? His friends and family nod understandingly, all knowing he'll never get around to any of it. He likes to get stoned, and there goes any real ambition he might have actually had. That is until he runs into an old bandmate who used to be just like him. Now he's a power broker with money to burn. He offers to share his secret with Brian. It's a clear pill he calls NZT. The pill allows you to remember everything you've ever seen or read in your life. The problem is that the crash is bad, and when Brian goes for more, he discovers his friend is dead, and he's in the middle of murder and drugs and the FBI on his tail for both. Of course, on NZT he solves the problems for the FBI. They believe he is the only man they've ever found who is immune to the side effects of the drug which always lead to death. But Brian's not immune.

Last Spring Eagle Vision released four discs that were collectively known as The Frank Sinatra Collection. But when a man's been singing for nearly 70 years, you can't hold a career like that on just four discs. There was always going to have to be more. The more has arrived in the shape of three more DVD's brimming with Sinatra. This time there are 3 DVD's to add to the growing collection. Each features performances, often from television specials. Each is a landmark even in Sinatra's incredible career. Each will bring you back to that ol' Blue Magic.

He was The Beatles before The Beatles were The Beatles. His voice would make women swoon and men want to be him. He romanced some of the most beautiful women in Hollywood history, and he sat at tables with kings, princesses, and presidents. He was The Voice. The Chairman of the Board. He was Old Blue Eyes. His name was Francis Albert Sinatra, but we all called him Frank. He had an unprecedented singing career that literally covered seven decades. Eagle Rock Entertainment gives us a few frozen moments in time for three of those decades. The Frank Sinatra Collection is a group of television specials that give us a wonderful glimpse into several stages of the man's career. Witness the evolution of the song selections as well as the man himself.

This movie definitely gives credence to the saying, “keep it in the family,” given that it features the two leads falling in love. I know what you’re thinking: that’s nothing new. Almost every story in existence features a love story in one fashion or another. You are correct, but here’s the kicker: they are both married into the family; he to their deceased daughter and she to their cheating son. That should make things a bit awkward around the dinner table at the holidays.

Nothing like walking in on your husband with his mistress, who also happens to be his assistant. That is the moment that defined the end of Jesse’s marriage. At that point you usually just walk away and only communicate through lawyers, but in her case, the tragic death of her father-in-law forces her to remain a part of their lives. Though divorced, Jesse remains behind to help her former mother-in-law with packing up her family home in order to move in with her ex-husband, whose callousness also extends to his own family, as the audience will discover under the guise of a sneaky, underhanded deal that he is negotiating.

The setting for Gunsmoke was the by-now-famous Dodge City, circa 1870’s. Phrases like “get out of Dodge” would enter the popular lexicon as a result of this resilient series. Marshall Dillon (Arness) was charged with keeping the peace in Dodge City. The only other character to see the entire 20-year run was kindly Doc Adams (Stone). Star Trek’s own Doc, Leonard McCoy, took many of his traits from Doc Adams. He was the humanitarian of the city, always looking to help someone. Like McCoy, he had a taste for bourbon and a soft heart underneath a rather gruff exterior and was always ready with free advice. Dillon’s love interest throughout most of the series was Miss Kitty Russell (Blake). While there were certainly a few romantic undercurrents, the romance never came to fruition. Miss Kitty was a prostitute on the radio and was likely one here as well, but CBS chose to underplay that aspect of her character as a “saloon girl”. Finally Dillon’s faithful sidekick deputy was Chester (Weaver). Chester often found himself in trouble and was the naïve son figure to Dillon.

Gunsmoke is the longest-running scripted live-action television show in history. The series ran from 1955 to 1975. At first it was a half-hour black-and-white show that evolved into a color hour by 1967. It actually started before the days of television, premiering on radio in 1952. Then it was William Conrad as the tough-as-nails Marshall Matt Dillon. When television came into its own, Gunsmoke made the jump to the bright living room box and made history. Westerns would ride across our small square screens for the next three decades, making it the most successful genre of that time, and it was Gunsmoke that started it all. The television version of Gunsmoke was originally conceived as a vehicle for John Wayne, who opted to remain in movies. Yet it was Wayne himself who suggested James Arness, and it turned out to be a career for the one-time “carrot” monster from The Thing. Gunsmoke started before all of the big westerns and was around when most of them had departed.
