This last (half) series of the finest TV show ever made is actually one of its best (semi) seasons, so it makes some sense to review this masterwork from the (hopefully now spoiler-proof) end. The Sopranos finishes, indeed, as wonderfully as it began and carried on: constantly complimenting the viewer's intelligence, right up to the bitter-sweet dénouement.

Yes, the penultimate episode is the proper narrative/dramatic "end," with its stunningly-staged assassination of Baccala and the calamitous (and, typically of the show, almost hilarious) near-fatal wounding of Silvio (to the sound of Nat King Cole, the sight of naked Bing bystanders and with hideous collateral damage to a passing motorcyclist).

But the actual finale ... Read More:

seem to have a different opinion from so many other viewers, since I really enjoyed the first half of season six. Seeing Tony get shot, not by season one's physically and mentally vigorous Uncle Junior, as I had kept anticipating that season, but by the toothless demented Uncle Junior, believing he was shooting someone else entirely was priceless irony. I loved the part with Tony in the coma in our world, while -wherever he was - he was exactly what he had always dreaded being - a nobody. Worse, he's a traveling salesman who is "trapped" and unable to get home. When Tony comes out of his coma, he vows to change and take every day as a gift, but later he is gradually pulled back into his old ways, since his position as boss really gives him no alternative. ...

...but they'll have to, or this wouldn't be a very good review.
The previous three seasons of SVU have been great, yes. But season 4 just takes the show to a new level. With 25 episodes this year, instead of previous 22, 23 or 21. Every episode is as good as each other, this DVD is a must buy, trust me!

The second season of L&O SVU reached to the sky - well, the third did even better. It went to the orbit and started to beep. It is not an exaggeration. This is one of the toughest, most accurate and best interpreted cop series and its third season it purely unbelievable. If you are not yet familiar with the concept of Special Victims here is the definition of the competence of this elite squad:

Any child under 13 years of age who is the victim of any sex crime or attempted sex crime.
Any child under 11 years of age who is the victim of abuse by a parent or person legally responsible for the care of the child.
Any victim of rape (all degrees) or attempted rape (all degrees)
Any victim of Criminal Sexual Act (all degrees) or ... Read More:

"The Kill Point" was an eight-part television series that has the distinction of being the first drama to air on the Spike network. The story is about a group of U.S. Marines back from Iraq who try to pull off a bank robbery in Pittsburgh. They almost get away with it, but then the robbery turns into a hostage situation. John Leguizamo plays Jake Mendez, the sergeant in charge of the operation and who calls himself "Mr. Wolf" in negotiations with the police Captain Horst Cali (Donnie Wahlberg), the police negotiator. In terms of recent television series as points of reference, "The Kill Point" strikes me as a cross between "Kidnapped" and "The Nine," which is not a bad thing.

"The Kill Point" has its fair share of hostage taking commonplaces (except ... Read More:

DVD : Little Feat: Rockpalast Live [1977] (REGION 1) (NTSC)
The two original group versions of Little Feat where Lowell George was dominant are one of my favourite all time groups. Sadly ignored at the time and it seems more popular in Europe than their homeland plus with little visual recordings made, the rarity attraction of this DVD is obvious.

On the plus side it has a full live set well recorded (visually and soundwise) for German TV and with a lot of the early Feat classics being featured. Lowell playing with his sprocket spanner "slide tool" that led to his distinctive guitar sound is well captured.

However after a few viewings what this DVD also has captured is a group that was beginning to lose Lowell as a key component. The evidence is in featuring of "Day at the dog races" where Lowell leaves ... Read More:
