Fringe: The Complete Fifth Season (2013)
Author/Actors/Director/etc.:
Format: DVD
Publisher: Warner Home Video (2013, May 7th).
Pages: 4
One of television's most intriguing and provocative science fiction shows comes to an end as Fringe bows out with this set of 13 episodes (on four discs, plus bonus material) from its fifth season. It's been quite a run, as the members of the multi-agency task force at the center of the action (principally Anna Torv as FBI Agent Olivia Dunham, John Noble as the brilliant but erratic Dr. Walter Bishop, and Joshua Jackson as Walter's son Peter) have gone from investigating bizarre phenomena (slugs as big as footballs, teethed parasites that can crush your heart) to figuring out the nuances of a parallel universe and, in this series end game, trying to save the world from their most implacable foe yet. That would be the Observers, a highly advanced species of humans who have invaded Earth (the storyline, which takes place in the year 2036, was introduced in the season four episode "Letters of Transit"). more

Celebrate the outrageous seventh and final season of 30 Rock, the Primetime Emmyr, Golden Glober, and Peabody Award-winning series that rocked TV for seven hilarious years. Primetime Emmyr Award winner Tina Fey is back as the indomitable (and occasionally hormone-addled) TGS writer Liz Lemon, who, having found bliss with boyfriend Criss, hopes show success isn't far behind. But if scheming executive Jack Donaghy (Primetime Emmyr and Golden Glober Award winner Alec Baldwin) has his way, he'll either defeat KableTown's teen "successor" or sink the whole company trying. Meanwhile, Jenna (Jane Krakowski) is planning the ultimate surprise wedding, Tracy (Tracy Morgan) gets shocking medical news, and Kenneth (Jack McBrayer) can't comprehend his (gasp!) new girlfriend. more

The Last Stand (2013)
Author/Actors/Director/etc.:
Format: DVD
Publisher: Lions Gate (2013, May 21st).
Pages: 1
Any movie that heralds the return of Arnold Schwarzenegger to movie star action hero-dom after his foray into politics was going to bear the dubious honor of being auspicious. For better or worse, The Last Stand takes that honor right down the middle of the road, being neither overly ambitious nor groaningly silly in letting this 66-year-old man mug, grunt, punch, and shoot his way back into our hearts and minds as the Ah-nold screen character for which we had such affection. Schwarzenegger plays Ray Owens, the sheriff of a tiny Arizona border burg who likes the peace and calm of his job and his townsfolk friends. When the FBI informs him that an escaped Mexican drug kingpin is barreling straight toward all that calm in a supercharged custom car, he sighs and saddles up, locking and loading with his wacky friends and deputies by his side for the inevitable stand. more
