When I was originally presented with a show about a married woman who communicates with ghosts, I did not think I was going to enjoy a single episode. When I found out that the woman was Jennifer Love Hewitt, I was filled with even more dread. However, I put in the first DVD hoping for [...]

I had heard the television commercials announcing Jericho, though I’d never paid that much attention to them. I have never been a huge television watcher on the CBS station. I have always been more loyal to ABC. My mom is an ABC Soap fanatic. We watch ABC News both locally and nationally, and when it [...]

We love to celebrate holidays at Literary Illusions. That is why we plan to offer you 31 days of at least one “Halloween-related” DVD title. Sure, some of the DVDs are scary. Some will be movies we recommend while others we’ll hope you will pass on lest you suffer the same fate we did when [...]

As an action lover I am not one to turn down a chance to watch a good superhero movie. I want to be able to enjoy the comic book life of a character on screen while checking out some good action scenes in the process. Fantastic Four has always been my least favorite comic-to-movie when [...]

To me, there is no place in the world that is more beautiful then Greece. Perhaps it is my fascination with the culture of one of the most advanced and prolific Ancient civilizations that draws me to Greece and the Greek Islands. Whatever it is, Acorn Media has done an exceptional job of capturing the [...]

If I took the time to describe a movie to you that was filled with drugs, homophobia, rape, and misogyny what would you think I was talking about? If you said Shakespeare you are wrong. Actually, I am referring to Saturday Night Fever. Sure the plot revolves around dancing, disco, and so much more, but [...]

Sketch comedy is one of those things where one person will love it and the next will think it’s absolutely uninteresting. Comedy Central ran this show, Upright Citizens Brigade, for a brief three seasons, making one think that it must be more of the former rather than the latter. However, thanks to DVD sales the [...]

The 80s was known for its share of excellent movies. Many of those movies seemed to have a dancing based theme. One of those movies was Flashdance and it was actually one of the more popular movies of the decade. The movie is somewhat of a fish out of water tale of the most basic [...]

One of the first movies John Travolta worked on after coming back from the Hollywood graveyard was Face/Off. The movie, starring John Travolta and Nicholas Cage is not the type of movie you would have expected the normally tame or comedic Travolta to star in. This thriller is both clever and intriguing. Dealing with a [...]

A few weeks ago, I watched the first season of Dexter in a number of days. Like most who watch the show, America’s favorite Serial Killer, Dexter Morgan, has captivated me in ways that serial killers should not captivate people. Morgan is perhaps the first and last killer who I want to see go free. [...]

Thanks to our good friends at Showtime we have acquired the first episode of everyone’s favorite serial killer. That’s right, if you cannot wait until Sunday to see the first episode of the new season of Dexter, you can go watch it right now. It’s all free and completely legal. Fans of Brotherhood will want [...]

One thing I was surprised to see on the DVD box for Tom & Jerry Spotlight Collection Vol. 3 was a disclaimer stating that this DVD was for the Adult Collector and may not necessarily be recommended for children. This was a little bit surprising because I have always considered Tom & Jerry a kid’s [...]
