The Suite Life of Zack & Cody - Sweet Suite Victory (2005) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am a parent who watches the Suite Life of Zack and Cody with my daughter occasionally. I have seen enough episodes to know that these are not the best picks that Disney could have released on DVD. The first episode has the boys at their youngest. The show is better in my opinion as the two boys get older. However, for a child, the battle of the bands idea is fun. London and Maddie are actually more intresting to watch in the earlier episodes, and it's always fun to see how London screws up even when she means well.
The second episode is when the boys run for class president. I liked the way Maddie and London get involved to help the boys. It was also nice to see Zack stand up for Cody at the end showing some family loyalty. I also liked the outrageous ideas that Zack and London came up with to get Zack elected. The pajama picture of Cody was a low blow but funny.
The last episode focuses on Maddie and London the most. Both girls throw sweet 16 parties for themselves on the same day. It forces the gang to pick which party to go to. As usual London over does it and makes a mess of things. The girls friendship gets strained, but ends up ok in the end.
Overall the episodes are just ok. I have seen better episodes on Disney channel. I also think Disney went cheap on this release. Three episodes is hardly worth the price of buying it. The extra features of the gag reel and Brenda Song doing the DVD game is ok. But personally I think Disney would have been better off putting a couple more episodes on the disc. After all thats why we really want to buy the DVD in the first place. Episodes that would have been better to add are the ones where the boys let the bugs loose in the tipton, or when Maddie and London have the fake baby for the weekend. Those stand out as funny episodes.
SO two stars is all I can give this release which skimped on the episodes and did'nt pick the best of the lot. If you really like Zack and Cody and want to get this release, try to by it online. Used and as cheap as possible. The taking over the Tipton release is better in my opinion and has more episodes.

Life With Derek - The Complete Second Season (2006) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I couldn't wait for the DVDs to come out for season 2. It was one of my favorite. The dvds are similar to the first one. It's a complete season with some behind the scenes extras. In terms of quality, it's better than watching them directly on tv. I know this isn't that helpful, so I'm sorry.

Hannah Montana: Miley Says Goodbye Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)In the latest volume of the popular Disney television series, a total of five hilarious and fun "Hannah Montana" episodes to satisfy the Miley fans and the entire family!
Having a child that is a big fan of various Disney series, "HANNAH MONTANA" has been part of our household family viewing for years. So, suffice to say that I have watched a good share of the episodes of "HANNAH MONTANA" to get a good feel of what the series is about. As for the DVD releases tend to revolve around a certain theme than episodic episodes in order. Thus here comes a new "HANNAH MONTANA" DVD titled "Miley Says Goodbye" and features Miley, Jackson and friends who are older and now having to make important life decisions.
Also, with each of the talent of the show going to do their own thing in their personal careers, especially Miley Cyrus, it was not known if the third season would be her last and thus the season ended with what could be seen as a fitting series finale. But a fourth and final season has been ordered by the Disney Channel and thus, the final conclusion to the series will be in 2011.
For those not familiar with the television show that launched the career of pop star, Miley Cyrus, "HANNAH MONTANA" is a popular Disney Channel television series which started back in 2006 and revolves around a family of three.
Miley Stewart (Miley Cyrus) is a normal teenage girl but when she goes on stage and records an album, she dons a blond wig and is known as the popular pop idol Hannah Montana.
Her father/manager Robbie (real life father, Billie Ray Cyrus) has given her the dual identity so she can live a normal teenage life. She lives with her brother Jackson (played by Jason Earles) who is a bit of goof off who tends to get himself into some sort of predicament at home or at work at the hot dog stand owned by young entrepreneur Rico (played by Moises Arias). For Miley/Hannah, she is fortunate to have her best friend Lilly Truscott (played by Emily Osment) and Oliver Oken (played by Mitchel Musso) around at times to be her voice of reason and to help bail her out of trouble.
But in this third season, the six episodes featured on this DVD feature the kids who are now older. Miley having made a successful movie, her career is doing well but getting a taste of her old life in Tennessee, she questions if California or Tennessee should be her true home. Jackson is dealing with decisions about college (and not going to college) and living on his own. Oliver has done well in a music talent show and sees his music career starting to blossom while Lilly is now living with Miley and figuring out where she fits in with the success of her best friends.
The "Hannah Montana - Miley Says Goodbye?" DVD features a total of six episodes. Included are (note: spoilerless summaries):
1. EPISODE 59: You Never Give Me My Money - With Miley's father managing her money, Miley wants to show that she is financial responsible (after her credit card debacle many episodes ago). So, her father is allowing her to have a checking account with $5,000 and to see if she can be responsible and not spend it all.
2. EPISODE 64: Papa's Got a New Friend - With Miley accidentally injuring her choreographer (played by "Dancing with the Stars" Carrie Inaba), she hires a new choreographer who instantly becomes her father's best friend. But her new choreographer is all about him and very strict to Miley and her dancers.
3. EPISODE 69: Promma Mia - With Oliver and Lilly going to the prom, Miley doesn't have a date. (special guest star: "American Idol" star David Archuleta)
4. EPISODE 73: He Could Be the One - An old boyfriend tries to come back to Miley but with her father still sore from how the boyfriend treated Miley back then, Miley tries to hide the fact that she is dating him again from her father.
5. EPISODE 84: Miley Says Goodbye? Part 1 - Miley reunites with her horse Blue Jeans by bringing him to California. So, now she is considering moving back to Tennessee. Meanwhile, Jackson deals with living in his own apartment.
6. EPISODE 85: Miley Says Goodbye? Part 2 - Miley wants to move back to Tennessee, Oliver is offered to open and tour with a band for six months but both are worried about how Lilly will deal with their departure.
VIDEO, AUDIO & SUBTITLES:
"Hannah Montana - Miley Says Goodbye?" is presented in Full Screen (1:33:1) and is featured in Dolby Digital Stereo Sound with also a French and Spanish audio track available. Subtitles are in English SDH, French and Spanish.
SPECIAL FEATURES:
The DVD comes with two major special features:
* "He Could Be the One" Alternate Ending - (3:13) An alternate ending for the episode "He Could Be the One".
* Sister Secrets - (8:05) Brandi Cyrus shows us backstage of the "Hannah Montana" set and also interviews the cast.
* Hannah's Highlights: "You Never Give Me My Money" - While watching the episode "You Never Give Me Money", pop ups with information will be displayed on the screen with fun facts and interesting information.
EXTRA:
Included with the DVD is a "Hannah Montana - Mile Says goodbye" photo holder where fans can display their picture next to Hannah Montana.
JUDGMENT CALL:
For "Hannah Montana - Miley Says Goodbye?", the episodes focus on the kids growing up and now having to make decisions about life, love and career. It was not known if this would be the final season of "Hannah Montana", so it was quite interesting to see this one hour episode season finale and for the most part, it would have been a fitting ending if Disney chose not to renew the series. Personally, it's quite interesting to see how much has changed with the characters and to see them grow from these young kids to now young adults within the last four years but with one final season to go, it will be interesting to see how the series concludes.
But for the most part, for "Hannah Montana" fans, you get a total of six fun episodes instead of the usual 4-5 and more special features included on the DVD, especially to see how backstage, the set of "Hannah Montana" is a family affair with older sister Brandi Cyrus working in props and Miley's grandmother going through the fan mail.
Overall, as a father of a child who enjoys the series, the show definitely has its share of hilarious moments and for six episodes for a low price, you really can't go wrong with it. Fans of Miley Cyrus and "Hannah Montana" won't be disappointed.

Hannah Montana: Who Is Hannah Montana Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Wow!!! My daughter and I (41 year old female) both love the Hannah Montana Series. We are really going to miss it. But all great things must come to an end sometime. That being said this is an excellent DVD. It is will worth the money so just ignore that other reveiw. Just to see the last episode, which is a double episode, so 60 minutes long, before it airs, makes it all worth it. Also comes with five more bonus episodes, including the very first episode. My only complaint is I would have loved to have seen Ashly, Amber, Ricco, Sara's and all the rest of Miley's classmates reactions when she reveals she is really Hannah Montana. All in all it is a wonderful ending to a series that will be truly missed.

The Suite Life on Deck: Anchors Away Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)"The Suite Life of Zack & Cody" has been a popular show on the Disney Channel for four years (2005-2008) and the series would be the show starring Cole and Dylan Sprouse as Zack and Cody, the two rambunctious children of single mother Carey (Kim Rhodes) who performed at the nightclub of the Tipton Hotel. The Tipton Hotel is managed by Mr. Moseby (Phil Lewis) and the show would focus on two storylines. One that dealt with Zack and Cody and the other that would deal with heiress London Tipton (Brenda Song) and candy counter girl Maddie (Ashley Tisdale).
After four years, it was time to give the series a reboot and thus the series "The Suite Life on Deck: Anchors Away!" began on Sept. 2008 and this time bringing the show to a luxury cruise ship. With hotel heiress London Tipton constantly trying to escape from her education, her father has decided to have London study on their luxury cruise ship. And to watch her once again is Mr. Moseby.
As Mr. Moseby has thought that things would be fine and the situation should be much easier on a luxury cruise ship, Carey has decided to enroll Zack and Cody for school on the luxury cruise ship as well, of course, to Mr. Moseby's dismay.
Joining both Zack, Cody and London on the cruise ship is the stowaway Bailey Pickett (Debby Ryan), a country girl who wanted to escape the country life and a few other characters such as Cody's flatulent roommate Woody (Matthew Timmons) and more!
Included on "The Suite Life on Deck: Anchors Away!" DVD are four episodes from the series. It's important that the episodes are not in broadcast order or in production order but you do get the first two episodes. Here is a spoiler-less summary of each episode:
1. EPISODE 1: THE SUITE LIFE SET SAIL - Zack, Cody and London get used to their new school life on the Tipton luxury cruise ship especially with their new roommates. But London can't stand being on the ship and will do whatever she can to escape.
2. EPISODE 2: PARROT ISLAND - Zack, Cody, Bailey and Woody go on a search for London.
3. EPISODE 4: THE KIDNEY OF THE SEA - Cody and London try to make a pig into a pet, while Zack meets a rich girl named Violet who he becomes smitten with.
4. EPISODE 13: MADDIE ON DECK - Maddie (Ashley Tisdale) visits the group on the cruise ship and a member of royalty has his eye on Maddie for marriage.
This DVD also contains two bonus episodes:
1. EPISODE 6: INTERNATIONAL DEADLINE - Cody tries to impress Bailey but gets caught up in a time loop (think "Groundhog Day") and relives a day in his life over and over again.
2. EPISODE 19: MULCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING - Bailey feels homesick and Cody decides to recreate a country-style festival to make her feel at home.
VIDEO & AUDIO:
"The Suite Life on Deck: Anchors Away!" is presented in full screen (1:33:1) and audio is presented in Dolby Digital Surround Sound (and also including French and Spanish language tracks). Subtitles are in French and Spanish.
SPECIAL FEATURES:
"The Suite Life on Deck: Anchors Away!" includes the following special features:
* TWO BONUS EPISODES - Two extra episodes: "International Deadline" and "Mulch Ado About Nothing" are included on the DVD.
* Debby on Deck - (6:26) The Sprouse Twins interview newcomer Debby Ryan (who plays Bailey Pickett) about the show, her involvement in working with children's groups and charities and showcasing her yo-yo skills.
* The Floating Premiere - (7:06) Leena of Disney 365 interviews the cast of "The Suite Life on Deck" who join many of their fans for the premiere of their show on a luxury cruise ship. Plus a party on a luxury cruise and fans interviewing the talent. Plus a short preview of "Hannah Montana" star Mitchel Musso performing on the cruise ship and hanging out at Disney's own private island, Castaway Cay in the Bahamas.
* Dylan & Cole Sprouse: Blu-ray is Suite - (5:57) A promotion for Disney's Blu-ray featuring the Sprouse twins and Kim Rhodes (who plays their mother Carey on their show).
JUDGMENT CALL:
For fans of "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody", the popular comedy show continues with a different format with "The Suite Life on Deck". For me, as a father, my son absolutely loves the show for the crazy antics of the Sprouse twins but he and his friend are getting to the age where they are totally against shows spotlight on female characters and think they're the gross. So, needless to say, "The Suite Life on Deck" has been a show that he has been enjoying.
For the most part, on the parent's end of things, the show is fun and child-friendly. Granted, Zack and Cody are much older now and their attraction to girls are much more prominent with this series compared to "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody" but for the most part, it's a show that will attract young children and young teens.
In this DVD "The Suite Life on Deck: Anchors Away!", I'm not sure how they choose what episodes go on each volume and why they're not episodic but I suppose, for those who wanted to see later episodes, especially the one that stars Maggie (Ashley Tisdale) can be happy that this DVD does include it. And for those who are interested in seeing how the show makes its transition to the luxury cruise liner, the good news is that the first two episodes are included on this DVD.
As for the DVD release, fans will be happy that they get a total of six episodes (including the two bonus episodes) and for its price, is definitely a great deal for fans of "The Suite Life" or its stars.

Hannah Montana - Life's What You Make It (2006) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the third Hannah Montana DVD to be released.
These are the episodes:
* Achy Jakey Heart Pt. 1
* Achy Jakey Heart Pt. 2
* I Am Hannah Hear Me Croak
* I Want You To Want Me To Go To Florida
Being a Hannah Montana fanatic, I thought about going out and getting it the first day it was released. But, instead, I waited and got it at the library. And, boy, am I glad I waited! Personally, I think this DVD is really boring. For one thing, these just aren't my fave episodes. And for another, these are really popular episodes, that everyone has already seen at least twice.
As far as Bonus Features go, they have two. Billy Ray Cyrus singing "Ready, Set, Don't Go"; and a "Behind the Scenes" with the cast.
The music video is okay, but like the episodes, everyone has already seen it a half dozen times. Also, on the thing with the cast, they ask really boring questions, like "Would you like to have another identity?" or "Are you good with secrets?" They ask those same questions in every interview and magazine article!
Overall, this is a DVD chock full of, well, nothing new. But, if you could find it on sale somewhere for 5 bucks, it might be nice to have, just to add to your collection.

Hannah Montana - Pop Star Profile (2006) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Hannah Montana is a cute show about a 14 year old girl living a double life. By day she is Miley Stewart, an average teen girl living an average life, but by night she's Hannah Montana, teen pop sensation. Miley usually likes to keep her second life on the down low but in this collection she is tempted to throw caution to the wind and reveal her secret to the world.
Jake Ryan, a famous TV actor, enrolls at Miley's school and unlike her he absorbs all the attention. Jake gets everything his heart desires while Miley starts to get shafted (her locker is even moved to the basement to make room for Jakes mega star locker). Miley gets really irritated with the way everyone drools over Jake when she is just as (and maybe even more) famous then he is. Later on, however, she starts to see another side of Jake Ryan and a little crush develops.
This collection contains four episodes all revolving around Miley and Jake's relationship:
The New Kid in School:
Jake Ryan enrolls at Miley's school. She gets irritated with the way he gets special treatment.
More Then a Zombie to Me:
Hannah Montana gets a role on Jake's TV show. Miley discovers that she really does like Jake.
Good Golly, Miss Molly:
Miley loses a video tape of her confessing her love for Jake. Somehow it ends up in his possession. She needs to get it back.
People Who Use People:
Miley and Jake 'date' other people to make each other jealous. Jake and Miley confess their feelings for each other and become a couple, for a few minutes anyway.
There are two bonus features:
The Real Miley Cyrus:
An exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at the star of "Hannah Montana" and her real-life family including her superstar dad, Billy Ray Cyrus.
Nobody's Perfect:
A concert performance of one of Hannah's new songs, from the upcoming second season of the hit series
I love this show but these are no where near my favorite episodes. So I'm not sure whether or not I'll be picking up the collection myself but if these episodes appeal to you or yours by all means buy the DVD.

Wizards of Waverly Place: Wizard School Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this for my teenage sister. Wizards of Waverly Place is her favorite show and Selena Gomez is her idol. The thing I don't like is that you only get four episodes. It'd be better if Disney released full seasons of their shows rather than banking on $15 for just four episodes. They finally released Hannah Montana full seasons after releasing many 4 episode discs over the past couple years.

I Heart Jonas Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)With Valentine's Day coming up, Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment has released the second volume of the Jonas Brother's Disney Original Series "JONAS" titled "I Heart JONAS". The comedy series is reminiscent to another classic music-based comedy shows such as "The Partridge Family" or "The Monkeys" in which the storylines focus on a topic and is essentially a comedy series. Also, similar to those classic shows, the Jonas Brothers perform a song relating to the show.
"JONAS" revolves around the three Lucas brothers who are in a popular band and try to live their lives like regular high school kids and attend high school. In the first DVD volume "JONAS: Rockin' the House", the episodes focused with storylines featuring each brother and their adventures. But this time around, with Valentines Day around the corner, all seven episodes focus on Joe Lucas and Stella.
The two have grown up with each other since they were babies and both like each other but due to the Lucas's success in the music world, Joe knows that he can't have any relationships. While Stella, being the band's designer knows that and so both try to keep their distance from each other and keep it as friends. But can they ditch their emotions and how they feel for each other and watch each other date other people?
In the second volume of "JONAS: I Heart Jonas", the DVD features the following episodes:
* Fashion Victim (Episode 7) - The Lucas Brothers have an important meeting with the Queen but when Joe gets jealous of Stella and Van Dyke going on a date, he accidentally messes up their outfits for their upcoming meeting.
* Love Sick (Episode 10) - Joe invites Stella to a fashion show. Meanwhile, Macy finds someone that can be a Nicky wannabe.
* Three Musketeers (Episode 11) - The Lucas brothers are selected in the school play of The Three Musketeers but Joe is shy on stage and doesn't want to be part of it and is replaced by Van Dyke. But when he hears that Stella gets the part of female lead and has a kissing scene with Van Dyke, Joe gets jealous.
* Karaoke Surprise (Episode 14) - It's the 15th Friendship Anniversary and the Lucas Brothers want to plan a surprise party for Stella.
* Chasing the Dream (Episode 6) - Kevin let's Macy become their backup singer. But when she turns out to be awful, Kevin knows he must do something about it.
* Frantic Romantic (Episode 12) - Movie star Fiona Skye uses Joe's popularity by letting the tabloids know that she is dating Joe (when they actually are not). How can Joe stop Fiona from using him.
* Forgetting Stella's Birthday (Episode 16) - It's Stella's birthday and usually the guys don't forget but when they have an important interview, they all forget. Stella assumes they are planning a secret birthday party.
* Double Date (Episode 18) - When Stella goes on a date with Van Dyke, Joe gets even more jealous.
VIDEO & AUDIO:
"I Heart Jonas" is presented in Full Screen (1:33:1) and is presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 and 2.0 Surround Sound. The picture quality is different from other Disney Channel shows in that it's filmed like a drama series and is not in front of a live audience. Audio quality is front and center channel-driven and dialogue is understandable and music is clear.
Subtitles are featured in English SDH and Spanish.
SPECIAL FEATURES:
"I Heart Jonas" comes with the following special features:
* You Just Been Jo Bro'd! - Suprising Jordin Sparks - (10:39) Similar to a show like `Punk'd', the Jonas Brothers prank their friend Jordin Sparks.
* Dylan & Cole Sprouse: Blu-Ray is Suite - (4:45) A featurette about Blu-ray and High Definition.
* Learn How to Take Your Favorite Movies on the Go - (1:03) A Featurette explaining what a Disney Digital Copy is.
The DVD also comes with three magnets featuring each member of the Jonas Brothers.
JUDGMENT CALL:
As a guy who has reviewed many shows from female and male idol groups worldwide, "I Heart Jonas" is one of those shows that I found fun, but also campy but know that the series will more than likely appeal to the Jonas Brothers fans. And for fans, especially the parents, this is a solid DVD release that you'll definitely get your money's worth.
I did feel that "I Heart Jonas" was much more enjoyable than the first volume because it features a recurring theme which revolves around Joe and Stella's feelings for each other. The three grew up with each other and care highly for each other but the problem is that because he's in a band and she is an employee, they know they shouldn't mix pleasure with business. But the two enjoy each others company so much and get very jealous when each are dating other people. Will Joe and Stella hook up or realize that they shouldn't?
For those who are more Kevin or Nick Jonas fans, although this volume focuses on Joe mostly, there are short storylines in each episode with both brothers but unlike the first volume which spreads each episode out and featuring on each brother, "I Heart Jonas" are specifically Joe and Stella driven episodes.
So, for the Jonas Brothers fans, if you enjoyed "JONAS" on the Disney Channel, you'll definitely enjoy volume 2 of "JONAS" with their latest DVD "I Heart Jonas".

Hannah Montana: Keeping It Real Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)In the latest volume of the popular Disney television series, a total of five hilarious and fun "Hannah Montana" episodes to satisfy the Miley fans and the entire family!
Having a child that is a big fan of various Disney series, "HANNAH MONTANA" has been part of our household family viewing for years. So, suffice to say that I have watched many episodes of "HANNAH MONTANA" to get a good feel of what the series is about and that the DVD releases tend to revolve around a certain theme than episodic episodes in order. Thus here comes a new "HANNAH MONTANA" DVD titled "KEEPING IT REAL" showing a lesson to viewers that one should be true to themselves.
For those not familiar with the television show that launched the career of pop star, Miley Cyrus, "HANNAH MONTANA" is a popular Disney Channel television series which started back in 2006 and revolves around a family of three.
Miley Stewart (Miley Cyrus) is a normal teenage girl but when she goes on stage and records an album, she dons a blonde wig and is known as the popular pop idol Hannah Montana.
Her father/manager Robbie (real life father, Billie Ray Cyrus) has given her the dual identity so she can live a normal teenage life. She lives with her brother Jackson who is a bit of goof off who tends to get himself into some sort of predicament at home or at work at the hot dog stand owned by young entrepreneur Rico (Moises Arias).
For Miley/Hannah, she is fortunate to have her best friend Lilly Truscott (Emily Osment) and Oliver Oken (Mitchel Musso) around at times to be her voice of reason and to help bail her out of trouble.
The "KEEPING IT REAL" DVD features a total of four episodes, with a fifth bonus episode included. Included are:
1. The Test of My Love - Miley falls for Trey, a song of a rich investor. Afraid that she may not be classy enough for him, she changes her style to win his attention and going so far to lie and say that she lived in London. But when she brings Trey's family over to her home, perhaps her lie may be a bit too much for Trey and his entire family.
2. Don't Stop `Til You Got the Phone - Miley gets a new cell phone but when she's enjoying her current one, the new latest fad for cell phones become the rage and now Miley wants her father to buy her the latest phone. But because she just bought a newer one, her father tells her no. So, Miley needs to make some cash without her father knowing. So, after hearing about how paparazzi make a lot of money taking pictures of her, she and Lilly become paparazzi photographers and their next mission to make a lot of money is to sneak into Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and take embarrassing photos of him. Meanwhile, Jackson avoids his father's advice and gets a bad sunburn.
3. Yet Another Side of Me - Hannah Montana visits her fashion designer Dahliano to design a cool outfit for her upcoming "Sunshine Dolls" Presentation event but when she meets Isis, the Queen of Pop, Isis tells her that she needs to change her music in order to keep herself fresh and interesting to her fans. Meanwhile, Jackson and Rico work on their friendship.
4. We're All On This Date Together - During a celebrity auction for charity with stars such as Ray Romano and Donnie Osmond, Hannah Montana is happy that Johnny (High School Musical's Corbin Bleu) is bidding a lot of money for her but Rico challenges Johnny and thus Hannah must go on a double date with both guys. The episode marks the second time Bleu has appeared in the series to reprise his role of Johnny.

JUDGMENT CALL:
For "HANNAH MONTANA" fans or parents with children who adore Miley Cyrus, "KEEPING IT REAL" features five episodes about being true to oneself.The episodes are lighthearted, hilarious and fun and safe for children.
This volume has a bit of star power featured as Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Ray Romano, Donnie Osmond and Corbin Bleau make an appearance in an episode.
The episodes are not in any particular order, just episodes that focus on the theme of "KEEPING IT REAL" and most of the episodes are from the second season of "Hannah Montana" (2007-2008), while the bonus episode "Ready, Set, Don't Drive" is from Season 3.

Hannah Montana - One in a Million Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this DVD for my neices, ages 5 and 8, and they absolutely LOVE it. I was expecting the dialogue, acting, and music to be annoying, but it's actually really cute!
This DVD has four "Hannah Montana" episodes, three music videos, and a bonus "That's So Raven" episode. The girls adore everything Hannah Montana, but Raven was a little forgettable.
I don't keep up with the Hollywood circuit much, but Miley Cyrus seems to be a breath of fresh air among the young starlets. I hope that all of this fame doesn't taint her!

The Wizards of Waverly, Vol. 2: Supernaturally Stylin' Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Playing on the undeniable popularity of all things magic, courtesy of J.K. Rowling, Disney launched their own fantastical sitcom based on the adventures of a wizard family living amongst normal folk. Wizards of Waverly Place puts Disney star Selena Gomez front and center as Alex Russo followed by her two mischievous brothers Justin (David Henrie) and Max (Jake T. Austin). Trying to keep the normal folks unaware while dodging the pitfalls of school social spheres, Alex and her family find themselves getting into one crazy scenario after another.
Episode Listing:
"Credit Check"
Alex manages to score an internship at a top fashion magazine and discovers that in the big leagues not everyone plays fair. After a co-worker takes credit for her ideas she attempts to get back at him by setting him up to take credit for some of her less-than-great ideas. Little does she know the co-worker has had a change of heart and decides to give her exactly what she wanted. Stuck with a fashion show of ugly clothes, Alex might just have to use magic to get out of the fashion nightmare.
"Smarty Pants"
When Alex's best friend tells her that their trivia teams won't be able to compete thanks to a sick teammate, Alex steps in to prove she's got the smarts. To sweeten the pot she gets to go up against her older brother's team. But there's a catch - Alex really doesn't have the necessary smarts to compete, so what's a girl to do? Using a little bit of magic Alex gets what she wants but with a price.
"Beware Wolf"
Alex's older brother Justin, despite the warning of his parents, agrees to go out with a girl he met online. Trying to prove that they know everything about each other, Justin and his date spend loads of time together. Little does Justin realize - there's something she forgot to list in her online profile: she's a werewolf. Now, with a werewolf curse all his own, Justin must choose between her and being normal again.
"Graphic Novel"
When the school's popular girl gets her hands on - and then in - Alex's private diary, all three of the Russo kids must go after her to protect Alex's secret: the identity of her crush. Will Alex's secret be revealed or will they get inside the journal in time?
Here's a show aimed at a generation much younger than myself - but that's not to say I can't relate. Anyone above their teens should be able to remember the Melissa Joan Hart show Sabrina the Teenage Witch. I'd be blind if I didn't see a strong set of parallels running between the two. Sabrina faced an uber-popular bully, so does Alex. Sabrina had an odd and geeky best friend, so does Alex. Sabrina's boyfriend was a jock; Alex has a crush on a jock. Wizards of Waverly Place takes the same formula and aims at a lower age demographic. To be honest, there's really no difference in writing quality between this and Sabrina it's just an issue of subject matter. Sabrina was firmly entrenched in the high school world while Wizards of Waverly Place seems to be rooted in some odd K-12 school. Unless we're supposed to believe Max is old enough to be in High School. We don't.
There's nothing wrong with Wizards of Waverly Place, but I'm hard pressed to find anything that truly elevates it beyond the overpopulated field of mediocre TV fare. The three main child actors all have their charms and there's more one-liners in any given minute than anyone could hope for - but it's still lacking in that area that makes the best shows stand out. It teaches your kids valuable social lessons, and that's good. But there are better shows they could be getting it from.
You could do better in terms of programming for your kids. But you could also do much, much worse.
DVD Extra Features:
"Backstage Disney"
The three child stars of Wizards of Waverly Place take you behind the scenes in this featurette dedicated to the fashion and style of the show. Each of the stars takes you into their wardrobe to check out some of the costumes seen specifically in the episodes on this DVD. They comment on whether or not the characters they play have styles similar to their own - the answer, these kids all dress much more conservatively than anyone on the show. And why wouldn't they? The show's characters all have a style that goes a little over the top - but hey, they're allowed to be eccentric. They're wizards.

Wizards on Deck with Hannah Montana Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)In 2009, the Disney Channel featured a crossover trilogy featuring their top sitcoms "Wizards of Waverly Place", "The Suite Life" on Deck" and "Hannah Montana". Needless to say, this rare crossover was a big ratings winner for Disney as over 9.3 million viewers tuned into the crossover episodes. And now, all three episodes are featured on DVD with "Wizards on Deck with Hannah Montana".
Here is a listing of the episodes featured on the DVD and brief summary of the episode:
* Wizards of Waverly Place - Episode 25: Part 1 - Cast-Away (To Another Show) - In this episode, Justin wins a contest for a teenage cruise to meet London Tipton. Excited about the contest and excited about meeting London, Justin's sister Alex and Max come along. But with Alex, due to her missing homework, she is expected to study on the ship so Alex comes up with an idea: To bring Harper along and have her pretend she's Alex, while she has fun with Bailey and uses the alias Ashley Olsen. Meanwhile, Max finds a rival on the cruise, Zach Martin. Meanwhile, Justin meets London but pretends he's a doctor. This episode features a crossover with the characters of "Wizards of Waverly Place" and "Suite Life on Deck".
* The Suite Life on Deck - Episode 21: Part 2 - Double Crossed - Hannah Montana is going to perform on the SS Tipton and Cody tries to impress Bailey by trying to get tickets (despite the concert being sold out). Meanwhile, someone turns Justin blue and Mr. Moseby thinks its Zack, while Justin thinks its his sister Alex. This episode features a crossover of characters from all three shows.
* Hannah Montana - Episode 19: Part 3 - Super(stitious) Girl - Miley, her father Robby Ray and Lilly are onboard the SS Tipton for her concert. But Miley has a setback when she loses her deceased mom's anklet and Miley doesn't think she could perform as Hannah Montana without it. Meanwhile back at home, Jackson, Oliver and Rico open a package meant for Robby. This episode features a crossover of "Hannah Montana" and "The Suite Life on Deck".
VIDEO & AUDIO:
"Wizards on Deck with Hannah Montana" is presented in Full Screen (1:33:1) and is presented in Dolby Digital Surround Sound. For the most part, picture quality is better than the broadcast. Everything was good, although a segment in the "Hannah Montana" episode during a scene which involved Jackson and friends, picture quality looked quite blurry. But for the most part, all three episodes look good on DVD. As for audio, audio is clear and understandable. Personally, I found it much more appealing to have the audio on my receiver set for stereo on all channels.
Subtitles are featured in English SDH and Spanish.
SPECIAL FEATURES:
"Wizards on Deck with Hannah Montana" comes with the following special features:
* Bonus Short: Justin's Award-Winning Essay - (3:33) Watch the essay video that got Justin and his siblings on the S.S. TIPTON Teen Cruise!
* It's A Suite Life Having Fun With Hannah & The Wizards - (5:42) Hilarious bloopers and backstage interviews with the stars!
* Dylan & Cole Sprouse: Blu-Ray is Suite - (4:45) A featurette about Blu-ray and High Definition.
* Learn How to Take Your Favorite Movies on the Go - (1:03) A Featurette explaining what a Disney Digital Copy is.
JUDGMENT CALL:
For Disney Channel fans of the original sitcoms "Wizards of Waverly Place", "Suite Life on Deck" and "Hannah Montana", to see a crossover with the three shows is quite rare and exciting for the fans. Well, technically the only episode to feature characters from all three shows is in the second episode "Double Crossed" and for some reason, the cast of the "Wizards of Waverly Place" and "Hannah Montana" do not interact in any of the episodes. Nevertheless, the storylines do tie the characters of each show together.
For the most part, fans of the three-episode crossover can't find anything wrong with this release. For the most part, all episodes are quite entertaining, hilarious and family friendly. I watched the DVD along with my son who enjoyed the crossover when it first aired on television and was excited to see it all over again.
As for the crossover episodes, I did feel that Brenda Song's character London Tipton ("Suite Life on Deck") was a bit too uncaring and self-centered in the special crossover episodes, especially on the "Hannah Montana" crossover episode. But there were a good number of enjoyable scenes throughout the three episodes. I found it interesting to see Bailey and Alex hanging out, Justin and London on a date, Zack and Max square off against each other, Cody and Harper enjoying their intellectual side of each other and more. Also, for "Suite Life on Deck" fans who wanted to see Cody and Bailey grow closer, those fans get to see how it all happens.
The added bonus features on the DVD was a nice touch but I wish they were much longer but for the most part, fans of this special crossover will be entertained by them.
Overall, "Wizards on Deck with Hannah Montana" was a fun, entertaining and hilarious DVD. Each crossover episode is fun for the entire family and for fans of each series series, overall this DVD release is quite solid. Definitely check it it out!

The Suite Life of Zack and Cody: Lip Synchin' in the Rain Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This DVD contains 4 episodes of the Disney Channel series, "The Suite Life of Zack & Cody." The show is set in the Tipton Hotel in Boston. Regular characters include identical twins Zack and Cody (Dylan and Cole Sprouse), hotel heiress London Tipton (Brenda Song), as well as candy counter girl Maddie (Ashley Tisdale), single mother Carey (Kim Rhodes), and the hotel's manager Mr. Mosbey (Phill Lewis). The four episodes featured on this DVD begin with: "Lip Synchin' In The Rain," which has the gang putting on their version of "High School Musical." Inside gag is that Ashley Tisdale starred in the actual HSM as Sharpay, however in "Zack & Cody," nobody sees that Maddie looks anything like Sharpay. Even though Maddie is the best singer and dancer, rival London gets the role of Sharpay because her dad is rich. Of course there is a happy ending and the gang works together to make the show a hit. #2 is "Arwin That Came To Dinner." Arwin is the hotel repairman/engineer who is distraught that his mother has moved out of the apartment that they share...and Arwin is clearly in his thirties. The twins and their mom help Arwin get over his mom fixation and find true love by converting his apartment into a cool bachelor pad. #3 is "Orchestra," which features a Russian Violin prodigy in the high school orchestra who comes between Cody and his girlfriend Barbra. 1970's blonde bombshell Susan Blakely has a role as the orchestra conductor, Mrs. Madigan. #4 is "A Tale of Two Houses." Zack & Cody's dad is back in town due to a play he is performing in. The twins scheme to crash his new apartment with their girlfriends while dad is working, and unbeknownst to them, they pick the same evening. 4 is a definitely a crowd, and even more people decide to drop in.
Extras include "Twin-Tastic," a featurette with the twins getting interviewed by Brenda Song (London), telling what it's like to be twins. No great revelations here, but it's still nice to see how natural the kids are what a nice rapport they have, even off camera. It is also interesting to hear about identical twins...the truths, the myths, and the entertaining stories that the boys share. A gag reel with bloopers and blunders is also included for good measure, as well as a number of Disney sneak Movie and DVD previews.
This show is definitely aimed at kids and teens and is thoroughly enjoyable; lots of physical humor and pratfalls, juvenile humor, and an ensemble cast that plays well together. Although Zack & Cody are obviously going through puberty (and trying to get the girls), there really aren't any scenes that would not be safe for kids to watch.

Best of Both Worlds Concert: The 3-D Movie: Extended Edition Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As a 16 year old male, I recieved far more than several strange looks upon entering the theatre to see this movie. There was one girl in particular who sat in front of me and managed to turn around and look at me with a rather pathetic lack of comprehension somewhere between 10 to 20 times before the movie started. I could just see in her eyes that she, like many of the other close-minded immature tweens whom surrounded me, was thoroughly considering either my sanity or my sexual orientation. It really is incredibly unsettling that our society is as bigoted and incapable as it is. Target demographic, shmarget demographic; Miley/Hannah's music is incredibly entertaining, well composed, and, at times, moving, regardless of age or gender.
BUT anyway, on with the review...
Miley's voice is amazing. It's even better live than on her CD's, and this film presents absolutely no exception. Her control and range are darn impressive, while at the same time her voice maintains an innocence and untapped potential that makes it satisfyingly difficult to stop listenting to her. I have to say that I love the unique controlled vocal crack that seems to be her signature during extended segments of vocal influctuation. She's also absolutely fearless; how many 15 year olds could keep their composure in front of 15,000+ people nearly every night with the comfort and facility that she does?
And on top off all her talent, she is, to put it incredibly frankly, pretty darn hott.
The instrumentation throughout the concert was superb. Her lead guitarist and drummer especially were outstanding in my opinion. One thing that I love about concert experiences is that the music itself is always far better than it is on the recording, since record companies and such can't put restrictions on spantaneous improvisations by the musicians. It was also a treat to listen to Miley play an acoustic guitar during "I Miss You."
Perhaps the best part of the film was the 3D effect. The glasses, thank God, weren't the blue and red sort that leave your color perception ruined and your head aching for hours, but were much better quality plastic ones.
I happen to be an aspiring filmmaker, so coming from a cinematographic point of view, this movie left nothing to be desired. Sweeping camera shots, pleasantly unexpected close ups, and creatively fun visual tricks in post production made the absolute best use of the 3D effect possible. At one point during viewing, I almost subconsciously convinced myself that I actually WAS right there, front row at her performance. You literally feel like you could reach out and touch her at any time.
The vibrant use/balance of color was in no way distorted by the glasses [if anything, the 3D effect enhanced them] and the very well designed stage setup and enormous venue could've made even the smallest theatre seem wonderfully spacious.
One of my personal favorite moments of the experience was the period of time in which the incomparable Jonas Brothers played a few songs while Miley changed. Their dramatic music, rich instrumentation, and dependably deep and passionate performances/vocals alone were worth the $15, and one can only hope that they will release a filmed concert as well... Haha, but I digress.
My only complaint would have to be that the entire concert is not included. There were numerous songs that I was looking forward to, but that didn't make it past the cutting room floor. I suppose they had to pick and choose between performances though since they had to fit behind-the-scenes action as well.
All in all, this movie is incontrovertably entertaining and simply bursting with refreshing talent. People can tell me I'm "not supposed" to enjoy what Miley has to offer all they want, but the fact of the matter is that she is a quality entertainer and to refuse fandom based merely on social expectation is ridiculous and pathetic. I cannot wait until this DVD comes out, and you can bet that it'll be in my DVD player before the day it becomes available is through.
