A great edition in the series, with lots of the usual fun that Ian McShane’s Lovejoy brings.

The real reason to see Horns, of course, is for Daniel Radcliffe, who is quite good as Ig, American accent, horns, and all.

Hiccup and Toothless are still a great team and How To Train Your Dragon 2 is a nice middle chapter in their story.

Ian McShane is charming and funny and even a little bit tough when necessary. He is wonderful as Lovejoy, and his show is as charming as its star.

Luca’s intuitive yet iconoclastic approach to crime-solving is a lot of fun to watch, but it is the romance of Luca and Lara that is sure to keep viewers interested and involved.

It covers all aspects of Oz, from Garland’s recording of “Over the Rainbow” to costumes to casting, to fan reaction to the film – and yes, even includes stories about Ebsen and the Munchkins

Inspector Manara features a winning mixture of comedy and mystery.

It may seem impossible to American viewers to take Lisa seriously when watching her switch gears so quickly but that is exactly the show’s charm.

The true pleasures of the show are in the charm of its star and the great settings and art objects he shares with the audience.

Girl Crazy is an extremely silly romantic comedy, but offers fast-paced fun.

This welcome arrival to DVD is good fun and should be enjoyed on repeat viewings.

With an emphasis on scares, it’s great to re-welcome Dan Curtis’ Dracula to the filmed pantheon of the infamous bloodthirsty Count.

When Huston, Bogart, Astor, and the rest of the crew got together it was movie magic.

It is quickly becoming a wonderful tradition for film buffs and Bogie enthusiasts – in a relaxed and beautiful setting.

A fine film for any music fan to watch.

A great companion guide to the series, as well as a reference guide to Portland’s creepiest inhabitants.

It brings to mind classic Bugs Bunny – alas, none of the characters have quite the personality of Bugs, but then, who does?

A welcome addition to fans of David Suchet’s definitive portrayal of the little Belgian sleuth.

Equally at home in drama or comedy, Joanna Lumley seems to have found a new calling in these travel programs.

This delightful new box set of Christie mysteries is worth the effort of reading a few subtitles.

These films should keep Christie and British mystery fans entertained, too.
