Shalom Sesame: Shabbat Shalom, Grover!: DVD: Sisu Home Entertainment
Review by JAM

Grover, that loveable longtime friend, learns all about why everyone works so hard right before a special day of rest and reflection. Joining his friends in Israel, he learns more about the Jewish culture and their traditions.

In Shabbat Shalom, Grover!, Grover can’t seem to figure out why everyone is so busy just before a day of rest. Join Grover as he learns all about Shabbat, and sing along to Avigail’s favorite Shabbat song, Bim Bam! Cedric the Entertainer also makes an appearance on the DVD with our Shalom Sesame friends.

Our furry friends from just down the Sesame Street have made their way to Israel to meet new people and learn new things as Shalom Sesame makes its way to our shelves. Shabbat Shalom, Grover! continues the journey of Grover and celebrity host Anneliese van der Pol (from That’s So Raven) as they travel to Israel to meet and share stories with new characters. Sharing Jewish culture, Hebrew language, and Israel locations, the eventual 12 disc launch seeks to give insights into aspects of Jewish life through the use of familiar and new Sesame Street characters and a variety of celebrities sharing their time.

JAM Reviews Shaun the Sheep: Spring Shena-a-anigans from Lionsgate/HIT Entertainment

Shaun the Sheep: Spring Shena-a-anigans: Lionsgate and HIT Entertainment
Review by JAM

It is time once again to join everyone’s favorite sheep in his misadventures on the farm as Shaun the Sheep shares his Spring Shena-a-anigans. The DVD is filled with seven new episodes continuing the tradition of humor without words. Take it from JAM that there are truly some laugh-out-loud moments, especially in the first two episodes on the disc. Check out the official synopses and episode guide from Lionsgate and HIT Entertainment below.

Spring with excitement and jump with joy, because Shaun the Sheep is back for more wild adventures from the Oscar®-winning creators of Wallace & Gromit™. Fun on the farm with Shaun and his barnyard buddies springs to life, from bouncing sheep and a super-sized Timmy to bagpipe buddies and a short-sighted farmer, there’s no limit to the wild things these animals will do. So hop along with Shaun, Bitzer, Shirley, Timmy and those Naughty Pigs next door in some sheep-herding mayhem that’s sure to give you a lift!

Episodes include:
• “Spring Lamb” - It’s bath time for a reluctant Timmy. In trying to escape, Timmy gets a spring attached to his tail. It’s up to the flock to catch the bouncing baby sheep and return him to the tub before he destroys the farm.

• “Supersize Timmy” - Timmy accidentally eats a tomato grown with “Miracle-Grow” fertilizer and expands to become the King Kong of sheep. Shaun must keep the giant toddler out of sight while trying to figure out how to return him to normal size.

• “Bagpipe Buddy” - The sheep discover a set of bagpipes on the rubbish dump which they immediately misidentify as a sick emu. They set about trying to nurse it back to health before releasing it back into the wild.

• “Cheetah Cheater” - A wildlife film inspires Pidsley the cat to play a prank on the flock by disguising himself as a leopard. Shaun is convinced there is a huge beast on the loose and concocts a plan to catch it.

• “Lock Out” - While preparing for bed, the Farmer manages to lock himself out of the house and is stuck outside in his pajamas. He decides to spend the night in the barn but his incessant snoring drives the flock mad. Shaun heads up an operation to return him to his bed without waking him up.

• “Draw the Line” - The flock hijack a road line-painting machine and cause chaos while creating giant works of art in the field.

• “Ewe’ve Been Framed” - When Shaun accidentally breaks the farmer’s glasses, he and Bitzer have their work cut out trying to prevent their short-sighted master from having mishaps around the farm. Things get a little hair-raising for the flock before Shaun manages to replace the smashed up spectacles.

Bonus Features:

• Sheep-Shearing Game
• Timmy Time Bonus Episode: Timmy’s Plane
• Timmy’s Tune #2 - a cute little ditty with a bunch of small farmyard animals

Shawn the Sheep, from the creators of Wallace and Gromit, provides amazing entertainment during short skits, without the use of true voice work, and yet the kids are captivated and entranced by the magic Shawn provides. Pick up a copy and you will agree that it is Not Baaaaaa-d.

JAM Reviews Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 8 Motion Comics from 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment and Dark Horse Cmics

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season Eight Motion Comics – Blu-Ray/DVD : Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment and Dark Horse Comics
Review by JAM

On shelves as of January 4, 2011 is finally the imaginings from the mind of Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon that continue the journey for everyone’s favorite cheerleader/demon fighter/world saver/vampire slayer Buffy. Imagine the fact that seven television seasons came for this world after a campy movie release prior starring the always amazing Kristy Swanson, an intriguing Paul Ruebens (Pee Wee Herman following his meltdown time), and heart throb of the time Luke Perry. I will admit that I enjoyed the movie, but the campy style is not for everyone. So imagine the surprise when a relatively unknown Sarah Michelle Gellar (I knew her from All My Children… don’t ask me why) took the title role as Buffy and made it her own alongside a Scooby gang of sidekicks who were all able to have their own moments to shine throughout the series. From the dark corruption of Alison Hannigan’s Willow, to the unrequited pinings of Nicholas Brendon’s Xander, the surprise entry of a supernatural sister Dawn (played by Michelle Trachtenberg), the intellectual renderings of Anthony Head’s Giles the Watcher, and so on… Heck even the villains/foils were often enjoyable enough to be features further. Look at the change in Charisma Carpenter’s Cordelia Chase, especially thorough her years with the brooding Angel (as played by David Boreanez) and the intriguing aspect of a dark slayer in Eliza Dushku’s Faith.

Yet even with the seven seasons that gave us such a plethora of moments that my introduction has already taken forever, people wanted more. Now the reality about television shows is that they get more expensive over time, actors get bored with the same role, and writers find issues with determining new storylines. Whatever the reason, Buffy the Vampire Slayer found its end following the conclusion of its seventh season until now. Produced by creator Joss Whedon (with his writing often involved) Buffy returns in an eighth season previously only released in comic/trade paperback form but now out on your electronic shelves in the guise of a motion comic.

JAMS Ink on Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 8 Motion Comics

This one can be a little hard to review objectively. I mean, I am an unabashed comic book geek and a longtime fan of the Buffy television series. In fact, I do believe that I own every Buffy comic that Dark Horse has produced other than a few one shots or small stories from anthology issues. Jo Chen covers, pencils mostly by Georges Jeanty, and Joss’s vision made Season Eight a great read and a fun return to the way of the Slayer. This DVD/Blu-ray covers basically the first half of the Season Eight up to book number 19 and is a fun look at the continuing mythos of the Buffy Summers world.

Just hearing the theme music start up on the first episode put me in the mood for some slaying, and the disc does not disappoint. Of course, I have all the individual episodes so I knew the storyline would not be disappointing. It was hard at first to watch the motion set-up compared to the clean animation we have these days, but it grew on me. At first my biggest problem was messing with the beautiful Georges Jeanty artwork, but with a little work I enjoyed it for what it was.

The other minor issue I had was the fact that we had seven seasons to learn the voices of the characters and it is hard to overcome. About the only thing that let me overcome it was the fact that we did have an eighth season before now. And that is not to disparage the vocal talent that works on this as they are good in their own rights. I hope that further Buffy comics get a motion release as well starring the vocal talents utilized for this first set. The main vocal talents of our favorite characters are below.

Buffy – Kelly Albanese
Dawn – Julie O’Conner
Xander – Daniel Taylor
Giles – J. Anthony McCarthy
Willow – Natalia Lander
Faith – Whitney Thompson
Twilight – Zach Hanks

And if the comics were not enough, the extras included are awesome as well including Under Buffy’s Spell, the Buffy Trivia Experience which I know some people will be attacking as quick as they can, a gallery of the season 8 covers (1-19), and a rough pilot for the motion comic experience.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season Eight Motion Comics from Twentieth Century Fox and Dark Horse Comics explodes onto shelves on DVD and Blu-Ray on January 4, 2011. Stake your copy today!

JAM Reviews Machete from 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment

Machete: Blu-Ray/Digital Copy Combo: Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment
Review by JAM

Machete is truly B-movie violence at its greatest. The start of the movie is an amazing bloodbath in which a man (Danny Trejo) and his machete cut a swath through the evil henchman of the drug kingpin Torrez (Steven Seagal) only to find himself on the business end of an ass-whupping. Left for dead with the headless corpse of his wife and a daughter whose fate is unknown, Machete survives and becomes a man who tries to blend in without a name. Hired unknowingly by those who had destroyed his life before, Machete becomes a pawn in a violent game of chess between a corrupt senator and his team and the “Network” a loose contingent of immigrants and their leadership. Bullets fly, fires burn, but in the end will Machete stand tall?

Machete stars an excellent cast that joins in with the B-movie craziness including Danny Trejo and Steven Seagal as the main protagonists but also with Robert De Niro, Jessica Alba, Lindsey Lohan, Cheech Marin, Jeff Fahey, Michelle Rodriguez, and the ageless Don Johnson.

JAMS Ink on Machete

A director with a penchant for violence, a star known as “that guy” in a ton of movies, and a group of stars came together to make a movie that keeps you on your seat and yet can also laugh at itself and its ties to long ago history. Much like Robert Rodriguez’s collaboration with Quentin Tarantino in the Grindhouse double feature, Machete at its heart is a true B-movie with connections to the 70s B-movie craze and the pulp action movies from the Asian markets. It is unapologetic for its violence, its nudity, and its farcical over-the-top characterizations, and that’s half the fun with this movie. Danny Trejo makes the perfect anti-hero in this action romp with his tough as nails character who truly looks tough as nails and the addition of Steven Seagal as his nemesis connects the passing of an action hero torch in some ways especially as the movie’s end promises the coming of at least two sequels for our friend Machete.

Robert De Niro played Senator John McLaughlin as a crazed version of his fatherly pass in Meet the Parents. The facial expressions that he possesses as he delivers these crazed lines give credence to the two-faced politician aspect of his character, a protector at all costs front for a man who only cares about his own future. His crazed smile while laughable dialogue is expelled makes his character into a politician of interest even as Machete works towards his revenge.

I just realized that this was a Nash Bridges reunion. Both Don Johnson and Cheech Marin play underutilized characters that strengthen the story during their time onscreen. And having Cheech reprise the scene from the Grindhouse trailers in which he responds to his brother’s request to seek revenge upon those who stand against him with a diatribe extolling his holy ways followed by a simple acquiescence is truly B-movie splendor.

I was a little confused during the movie as to whether Machete’s daughter had been killed as well during the beginning of the storyline. That fact made the interactions of Machete with Michelle Rodriguez’s Luz and Jessica Alba’s Sartana Rivera seem kind of strange as I wondered if they were the long lost daughter. I am not sure if I made a mistake in assuming it, or if the filmmaker wanted to add to the B-movie mystique by leaving the question in the air. With the deleted scenes at least, Sartana is revealed as a twin so she is definitely not Machete’s daughter at least.

Finally, Jessica Alba is hot. That is all.

EXTRAS

Deleted scenes and the digital copy dominate the extras on this offering. And I have to say that the 10 minutes of deleted scenes are actually worth the check out. They involve plotlines that were cut from the movie (along with characters) but they are actually intriguing to watch. Jessica Alba gets to play two sides of the same coin with her “Twin”, Robert De Niro’s Senator is fleshed out a little bit more, and assassins that did not make the final cut make an appearance. I cannot say that the deleted scenes make or break the movie, but they are a fun little addition to the campy B-movie totality of the film.

Machete from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment slices through the border and into your store on January 4, 2011. Grab a copy and slice open a night of campy ultraviolent comedy, B-movie style.

JAM Reviews Twelve from 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment

Twelve: DVD: Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment
Review by JAM

A drug dealer with a conscience, a party girl lost in a sea of drugged out desire, a nice girl who gets caught in a sea of lies, a girl searching for the ultimate version of fame… These characters and more collide in Twelve, a Joel Schumacher directed drama centered around the lives of upper crust teenagers trying to make sense of life.

White Mike (Chace Crawford) plays a lost soul of a drug dealer who justifies his way of life by not partaking in the marijuana he sells. A former high society member himself, his fall from grace came through his mother’s illness which destroyed the family fortune as well as destroying White Mike’s sense of morality and hope for a better life. Intertwined in his life are the lives of his friends and customers including Sara Ludlow (Esti Ginzburg) the party girl fame-seeker, Chris Kenton (Rory Culkin) the manipulated rich kid with the psychopath brother, and Lionel (Curtis Jackson) the supplier for White Mike who betrays and manipulates him as well. All the betrayals, manipulations, and back-stabbings all culminate at Sara’s birthday party, a party that in her mind will never be forgotten.

JAMS Ink on Twelve

I am not exactly a big fan of the teen-angst, drug filled drama, road to redemption movies normally. This one had its good points, it had its bad points, and it had its in-between. White Mike has got to be the worst character name ever, as it just seems to drip with racism or thoughtlessness. I mean the connotations could range from the fact his name was Mike and he was white, to the white knight mentality he seems to have of himself, or to a drug reference. Whatever it is, it is a weird character name and I found it bothering me some as the movie went on.

I also don’t know if I really appreciated Kiefer Sutherland’s voiceover work as the narrator. It seemed distracting that so much of the movie seemed to be told to the viewer rather than shown on screen. Large chunks of the storyline seemed almost read like from a book, which makes a visual medium on the movie screen seem to not be operating at its greatest efficiency if verbal instructions and cues need to be shared.

Emma Roberts plays a character with far too little screen time, as she plays the innocent that gets pulled into the middle of this convoluted mess. It seems like she offers a road to redemption to White Mike that is never taken until the preachy ending where she closes the door to their odd relationship while leaving possibilities ahead but then the movie ends.

Emily Meade as Jessica Brayson is an interesting character that faces a fall of epic proportions. Her character seems to have it all, but loses everything including herself just for her next high from the designer drug Twelve. It is scary to see a girl with everything going for her getting so addicted to the escape from life that she throws away everything she could have and does have just for another chance to feel whatever it was she felt. It seems to be the truest insight into the drugged up world of this movie in some ways.

Twelve from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment lands on store shelves on December 28, 2010.

JAM Reviews Archer: Season One from 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment

Archer: Season One – DVD: Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment
Review by JAM

Mother issues, relative ineptitude, and chauvinistic tendencies all rule the life of the most dangerous secret agent in the world, Sterling Archer (H. Jon Benjamin). Codenamed Duchess (in reference to his mother’s dead dog) Archer lives life on the edge using his brains (what little he has), his brawn, and his libido to make life tough on his fellow agents, both friends and foe. Dangerous in any fight, Archer is the type of agent who get the job done while taking out everyone else in the fight, except maybe for his ex Lana Kane (Aisha Tyler) who is better in nearly everyway to Archer yet never recognized as such, which probably lead to the chasm between them (and the continued maiming by gunfire that she provides Archer with). A fun look at 60s styled dress combined with modern technology, Archer is the show that spy fans with a sense of humor having been waiting for as Archer seems to be a James bond/Austin Powers melding this is heavy on the libido, skilled in the way of the spy, yet a bumbling oaf that accomplishes missions through only the greatest of luck or the skill of others.

Archer also uses the amazing vocal talents of the hilarious Judy Greer, Chris Parnell, and Jessica Walter along with creator Adam Reed.

JAMS Ink on Archer

I am a fan of secret agents. Whether it is James Bond, Jason Bourne, or Austin Powers saving the world from the ultimate evil, the secret agent movies appeal to me. And Sterling Archer may have found a place beside them now. The animation is kind of trippy as it truly feels like a 60s style animation with stiff walking, and backgrounds that stand out as different behind the characters themselves. It reminds me some of the late 60s super hero cartoons or the Scooby Doo episodes with how the movement seems, and that is alright with me. It lends a fun campy feel to a show that does not attempt to take itself seriously at all.

Aisha Tyler is one of my favorites throughout her career, and she now plays an interesting animated character as the qualified foil to Archer’s convoluted life. Some of the best comedy comes from the interactions between Archer and Lana whether she is shooting him in the foot in the middle of a gun battle or parading around in her curvaceous lingerie she is a force to be reckoned with in Sterling Archer’s life, even if she would rather not be involved in it.

Best episode in the set in this reviewer’s humble opinion is “Job Offer” in which Archer takes a new job at a rival agency known as ODIN. This job offer was actually extended to Lana by a rival agent who has a history with her and with Archer. Of course, history with her means a former flame, while history with Archer means a near death shooting, a flubbed mission, and a possibly permanent limp. But with the head of ODIN wondering about his possible parenting of Archer, the invitation is extended with the usual craziness occurring as people are shot, women are deflowered, and Lana saves Archer’s butt again.
