Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (Best Season So Far! By Far!) 『Seriously, this season makes the first two look silly! It was so much fun to watch. You will love watching Ari and his office drama, while Vince holds all of the chips in the relationship. The gang has their own problems, but Vince is living large, and Ari is sweating bullets. It is entertaining and extremely fun. You will have a blast with this season!
My only negative comment is that I hate the fact that they broke season 3 into two parts (basically because it is just annoying). I will tell you that you should buy both parts of season 3 at once, so that you can enjoy it more fluidly than I did.
Have fun!』
(The boys are back!) 『This installment of my favorite show did not disappoint. Turtle, E, Drama and Vince are back and up to their same ol' antics. I recommend this series to anyone who is looking for a great new show to watch.』
(I love this show!) 『I don't have HBO but I love this show. I bought a bunch of the DVD's after I gave birth to my daughter and needed something to watch while she was sleeping/nursing. It reminds me of Sex in the City in some ways, except more for guys but I simply adore Ari, one of the main characters. I love this show.』
(clever and funny) 『My husband and I ration episodes because we enjoy this show so much. The characters (esp. Drama and Turtle) are likable and the stories are witty.』
(Two Seperate Packages) 『Personally, this is the beginning of the flourishing of the careers of all those crazy guys (except for Ari). What I don't fully understand is how they would sell this season in two parts like that. To make more money? Still, this is a great addition to a wonderful series.』 『With Vince's star expected to rise even higher in the Hollywood firmament as a result of his starring role in a potential blockbuster titled Aquaman, the boys must find a way to keep stroking their golden goose while making sound decisions for a long-lasting career in a world of fleeting fame.
DVD Features: Audio Commentary:3 Audio Commentaries by Executive Producer/Creator Doug Ellin, Kevin Dilllon,&Jerry Ferrara Featurette:Go behind the scenes with cast&crew on location in Vegas!
』 『The third season of HBO's inside-showbiz comedy kicks off with a familiar anxiety for Tinseltown's best: your film's opening-weekend box office. In the case of Vince (Adrian Grenier) and company, it'sAquaman, Vince's big break that took up most of last season and elevated the group to even bigger perks and tchotchkes. Luckily, the numbers are good (creator Doug Ellin reveals in the commentary that the episode was inspired by his friend who was with Tobey Maguire when he first heardSpider-Man'sopening numbers) and Vince uses the leverage to chase his dream project, a biopic of Pablo Escobar calledMedellin. But first he has to schmooze the film's eccentric producer who's strangely attached to his Shrek doll (Bruno Kirby, in his last role before his death in 2006) and juggle scheduling conflicts with theAquamansequel, which leads to an ego war with Warner studio chief Allen Grey (Paul Ben-Victor). Meanwhile, Turtle's (Jerry Ferrara) management of upstart rapper Saigon takes some sharp turns; Eric (Kevin Connolly) finds his relationship with Sloan (Emmanuelle Chiriqui) on shaky ground; and Johnny "Drama" Chase (Kevin Dillon) gets to audition for a television pilot directed by Ed Burns (playing himself). But the overarching storyline for season 3 involves Vince's agent Ari Gold (Emmy winner Jeremy Piven), who was canned last season by his agency. Taking his flamboyant, hilarious assistant Lloyd (Rex Lee) with him, Ari goes about setting up his own firm, but not before drawing fire from the mafia of other agents and threatening his relationship with star client Vince. The only weak storyline involves an old childhood pal (Domenick Lombardozzi), fresh out of prison, trying to nudge his way into Vince's gang. But otherwise the show's inside look at the baptism of the newly famous continues to tickle the funny bone.
As usual,Entouragesprinkles in cameos, includingCrashdirector Paul Haggis hilariously playing himself as a wound-up neurotic ("If I let contracts run my life, I'd still be doingThe Facts of Liferather than hanging with my boys," he says as he points to his Oscars). James Woods filchesAquamanpremiere tickets for his friends, and Seth Green gets in a rumble with Eric in the episode "Vegas Baby Vegas." Extras are still scant: just three commentaries and a featurette on their Vegas-location episode.--Ellen A. Kim』

This is a dream come true: a TV show with comedy, heart and intelligence at the same time. I watched all the episodes in three days, a thing I never did before with any TV show. The 20-22 minutes goes by so fast, so great this show is. Not a single wasted moment. A real gem.』
(Love it.. but rip off?) 『I love The Office. I recommend it to anyone. My only problem with this product is that it is almost as expensive or as expensive as season 2 but has only about half the episodes. The writers strike cut off the season early and so they didnt make as many episodes in the season. They were sneaky and put 4 cds in the case just like season 2, but if you notice there are less episodes per disc. In my opinion it should be a discounted rate.』
(Still going strong) 『Season 3 doesn't disappoint. I'm about halfway through the set now, laughing so hard I'm crying all the way.』
(Waste of time. Never laughed out loud. Characters unexplainably changed character. Pam turned evil.) 『
In this season, Michael seems more serious, and even more mature. Not sure what the turning point was for him. When did he become normal?
I used to LIKE Pam. She was so endearing. Then, after Pam blows Jim off twice when Jim works up the courage to tell her his true feelings on her wedding day (for the sake of suspending the plot, no doubt), after three years of reticence on her part, when it would have taken no courage to tell HIM her feelings, since he was the single one; after blowing him off TWICE, she breaks up with Roy, then Jim returns happy with Karen (carbon copy of Pam, personality-wise), Pam gets back together with Roy, then a few days later dumps Roy, then finally sabotages Jim's happy relationship with Karen. Pam turned out to be a bitch, and whichever screenwriter did that should be fired.
So Pam is either more erratic than Jan (who, btw, was in this season embarrassingly unstable and clingy and unprofessional...did some writer mix up the characters?). Or Pam is just as mature as a 15 year old school girl. She turns Jim away when he opens up and makes himself vulnerable beneath the stars at night; THEN she sabotages his relationship with Karen and his promotion, just because she can (or because, again, she's actually a 15 year old schoolgirl who can't stand to see a guy she's attracted to be happy with another girl).

(the office - season 3 is the best season ad the funniest,reat laugh!) 『i had a blast watching the 3rd season of the OFFICE.
it's the best season by far and the cast are simply top notch!!!』 『Fill your Inbox with hilarious moments from The Office Season Three in this four-disc collection that's crammed with extensive bonus features and all 22 episodes of the 2006 Primetime Emmy Award winner for Outstanding Comedy Series! Steve Carell is back in his Golden Globe-winning role as earnest but clueless boss Michael Scott, who can't help but contribute his own irreverent commentary to the daily happenings at the Scranton branch of the Dunder Mifflin paper company. As the staff deals with potential office closures, mergers, romances, and advancement, Michael's always there to say all the wrong things at all the right times. Including five supersized episodes and over three hours of deleted scenes, The Office Season Three is packed with classic moments from the show that TIME magazine praises for "satirizing the culture of coffee, cubicles and Chili's with heart and laser precision."』 『After a shaky first season of finding its footing, and a second season of establishing itself as one of the funniest shows on TV, the third season ofThe Officefinds the show in its strongest form yet, thanks in large part to the addition of some new characters and stronger plotlines centered on office romances. A corporate merger brings the Stamford staff to the Scranton office of Dunder-Mifflin a quarter of the way through the season giving a nice boost to the season's arc of story lines, especially the addition of Andy (Ed Helms, anotherDaily Showalum in a role that seems custom made for him) who serves as yet another foil to Dwight (Rainn Wilson) in his unending fight for Michael's approval. As the season begins, the focus is more on Michael (Steve Carell) and his unique "leadership" style in the Scranton office. "A good boss gruntles the disgruntled," and despite his best intentions, he proceeds to somehow screw it up, as in the opening episode, "Gay Witch Hunt," in which he accidentally outs a gay employee. In the second episode, "The Convention," Michael tries to get the party started at the Mid-Market Office Supply Convention ("fun jeans"), and ends up revealing his insecurity about Jim's (John Krasinski) decision to move to Stamford. It leads up to "The Coup," where Dwight meets with Michael's Boss Jan (Melora Hardin) in a misguided attempt to take control of the office. The merger of the two offices into the Scranton location provides the fuel needed to continue the Jim and Pam (Jenna Fischer) subplot as Jim returns with his new girlfriend, Karen (Rashida Jones) who also transferred, and with Pam no longer engaged to Roy, the tension among them increases significantly. Other major plot points this season include: Dwight shows his true feelings for Angela in an excellent climax to one of the funniest subplots on the show; Michael negotiates a raise after learning he barely makes more than his subordinates; new office suck-up Andy is forced into anger management classes; and finally, in what may be the most bizarre company retreat in history, a day at the beach ends with Pam revealing her true feelings for Jim in front of the entire office. The season wraps up in unpredictable fashion when Karen, Michael, and Jim all travel to headquarters to interview for the same position. The strength of this season just continues to solidifyThe Office's place as the preeminent satire of today's cubicle culture.--Daniel Vancini』

But once I saw the trailer, I knew I had to see it. This movie did not disappoint. It was touching, funny, and had just a hint of romance. I laughed and I'll admit that I cried.
Ellen Page and Michael Cera are a believable couple. Absolutely adorable and hilarious together. They're both brilliant actors and I can't wait to see more from the both of them.』
(Better than a TV movie) 『My husband and I rented this on a rainey Saturday night, not expection that great of a film, but my daughter gave it such great reviews. I have to say that Ellen Page is the actress that made this film better than a TV movie. She played the part of JUNO like she actually lived it in reality. The ending is unexpectably sad. Good performance from Jason Bateman. Jennifer Garner played the part of the lame and pathetic wife of Bateman who in the end loses her husband to get the one thing she has always wanted in her marriage a child. Rent it it is not bad for not quite a two hour time. The writing is the real winner in this movie.』
(I applaud Ellen Page's performance and just want to keep applauding.) 『I've been meaning to see this 2007 award-winning film for a long time. I'm glad I finally did.
This is a comedy but it is more than that. It is a heartwarming story of an off-beat and lovable 16-year old girl who becomes pregnant. She is exceptionally wise and savvy with one of the most lovable personalities I have ever seen on the scene. Ellen Page is cast in this role and is absolutely perfect for the part. I don't think any other actor could have done as well. I applaud her performance and want to just keep applauding.
The screenplay is wonderful too and a great vehicle to showcase her acting. It is heartwarming and not maudlin as we share her experiences with her understanding family and the prospective adoptive parents who she interviews and bonds with. There is also good upbeat music throughout which supports the theme of the story.
Yes, there are a few bumps along the way. Her boyfriend invites a different girl to the prom. The prospective adoptive father becomes enamored with Juno romantically. She has to deal with her own bulging body and the stares of her classmates. And there are times that her situation seems too much of a burden for her.
This is a really fine film and I highly recommend it for everyone. Enjoy! 』
(Original, brilliantly written film ... with a couple of flaws) 『Overall, this is a great film. It's fresh, well-written, surprising, and just the sort of "small film" that is so difficult to get right. Most films that take this sort of honest evaluation of typical middle-class life in the contemporary United States end up being unwatchabley pretentious or stridently political. Juno is neither. Rather than continue to sing its praises - which has been well done in earlier reviews - I wanted to note a couple of flaws that kept this from being a five-star film for me. First, while I love Ellen Page and her performance makes the film, she seemed too old for the part. Looking up her bio, she is currently 21, which would have made her about 19 when Juno was filmed. The character is supposed to be 16, which is a crucial plot point. A key to the film is that Juno is precocious and very young - not just a high schooler, but a young high schooler. In watching the film, I didn't buy for a minute that Ellen Page was 16; if anything I thought she was in her early 20s, or older than she actually was. I'm sure the producers tried to find someone the correct age and were willing to tradeoff Page's brilliant performance for her being too old, but, unfortunately, this lessened the impact of the film for me.
Second, [SPOILER ALERT] I thought the only real false note in the film was the ending. I can certainly buy the idea that Juno is willing to give up the baby to the Jennifer Garner character because Juno believes that character will be a good mother to the child, despite her divorce. But it just seems very unlikely to me that someone as sensitive and self-aware as Juno is would be so blasé about the decision - unwilling to even look at the baby in the nursery before Jennifer Garner takes him away. This seemed particularly implausible after the film has brought Juno and her boyfriend back together and shown that she has hopes of a long-time relationship with him. In those circumstances, not to even discuss keeping the baby? Seems unlikely.
Overall, though, this film is a must see and worthy of the acclaim it has received. 』
(Remarkably Well-Written and Warm Comedy) 『I wanted to hate Juno so bad. I suppose all of the trendy dialogue and often unnecessary indie credibility made me want to target this as among the most overrated films of 2007. In retrospect I hate when I have preconceptions going into a film but at least here I can admit its impact. Juno isn't overrated at all and although the dialogue is still hard to believe in flashes; the characters were compelling, enjoyable, and very easy to like. It was a simple task to forgive the few flaws I expected to find.
The film is directed by Jason Reitman (Thank You for Smoking), the son of director Ivan Reitman (Ghostbusters). It is written by Diablo Cody, a known blogger who won the Academy Award for Best Screenplay for Juno. The film's cast is actually very deep for its modest budget of $7 million dollars. The cast includes Ellen Page in the title role, Michael Cera as her quasi-boyfriend and father-to-be, Jason Bateman and Jennifer Garner as the would-be adoptive parents of Juno's daughter, and J.K. Simmons as Juno's father, among others. It always surprises me when J.K. Simmons appears in a role as a nice guy after seeing him play an imprisoned Aryan gang leader for years on Oz and the fiery J. Jonah Jameson in the Spider-Man movies. He is always an outstanding supporting actor.
Juno follows a young girl named Juno MacGuff (Page) who discovers she is pregnant. The film looks the issue of abortion right in the face, for better or worse, seemingly indifferent to the views of either side, and eventually Juno decides she will have the child and put it up for adoption. Mark and Vanessa Loring (Bateman and Garner) are a married thirty-something couple that want to adopt the child. Juno's interactions with both Mark and Vanessa are engaging and surprisingly fresh. The supporting characters are very strong and make the main characters even more enjoyable to watch.
The strength of Juno's character seems to be one of the film's contentious points. Everyone seems to agree that Page is amazing in the role, and she is, but the way the character is written was something I expected to tackle as a flaw. It isn't at all; she is a powerful, intelligent, and confident young woman who I found not only believable but completely original. But there are many reasons to recommend Juno. It's well-written, it contains some great performances, and it has a soundtrack and style I appreciated very much.』 『Juno MacGuff (Ellen Page) is a cool, confident teenager who takes a nine-month detour into adulthood when she's faced with an unplanned pregnancy-and sets out to find the perfect parents for her baby. With the help of her charmingly unassuming boyfriend (Michael Cera), supportive dad (J.K Simmons) and no-nonsense stepmom (Allison Janney), Juno sets her sights on an affluent couple (Jennifer Garner and Jason Bateman) longing to adopt their first child.』 『Somewhere between the sharp satire ofElectionand the rich human comedy ofYou Can Count On MeliesJuno, a sardonic but ultimately compassionate story of a pregnant teenage girl who wants to give her baby up for adoption. Social misfit Juno (Ellen Page,Hard Candy,X-Men: The Last Stand) protects herself with a caustic wit, but when she gets pregnant by her friend Paulie (Michael Cera,Superbad), Juno finds herself unwilling to terminate the pregnancy. When she chooses a couple who place a classified ad looking to adopt, Juno gets drawn further into their lives than she anticipated. ButJunois much more than its plot; the stylized dialogue (by screenwriter Diablo Cody) seems forced at first, but soon creates a richly textured world, greatly aided by superb performances by Page, Cera, Jennifer Garner and Jason Bateman as the prospective parents, and J.K. Simmons (Spider-Man) and Allison Janney as Juno's father and stepmother. Director Jason Reitman (Thank You For Smoking) deftly keeps the movie from slipping into easy, shallow sarcasm or foundering in sentimentality. The result is smarter and funnier than you might expect from the subject matter, and warmer and more touching than you might expect from the cocky attitude. Page's performance is deceptively simple; she never asks the audience to love her, yet she effortlessly carries a movie in which she's in almost every scene. That's star power. --Bret Fetzer

(Great) 『This was the best tv show we i was a little younger so now have all the seasons. It was easier buying here than at a store b/c they always seemed to be out of stock...』 『After 20-plus years of single motherhood, after a series of Mr. Not- Quite-Rights, after buying that perfect wedding dress and watching it hang in the closet, Lorelai finally gets married. Yes, but to whom? The answer is just one of the deliciously intriguing what's-gonna-happens in these 22 episodes about a mother, a daughter, a town and a world that devoted Gilmore groupies have taken as their own. Sharpen your wits for the famed, fast-paced Gilmore dialogue -- but let your heart do its thing. From Stars Hollow to New York City to Paris... from Lorelai's wedding to Lane's baby shower to Rory's graduation... from beginning to middle to end... here's Season 7.』 『All good things must end, but not all good things end well.Gilmore Girlsis one of the most original and entertaining television programs ever to grace the CW. Lorelai and Rory Gilmore (Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel) star as the quick-witted and heavily caffeinated mother-daughter duo at the heart of this quirky drama. Normally smarter than the average show, the seventh season represents a slump in an otherwise brilliant run. The seventh season is the first without series creator Amy Sherman-Palladino, and her absence is evident. Smart characters make dumb decisions and dumb characters spend too much time on screen. The normally fluid plot slumbers along as Rory's father Christopher returns as Lorelai's love interest, Rory gets even more serious with Logan, while Luke and Lorelai try to repair their damaged relationship. But it's not all bleak. Highpoints of the season include the birth of Lane's twins, plus the long-awaited cameo by Christiane Amanpour, which sends Rory into a tizzy: "I can't meet Christiane Amanpour in my pajamas!" The counterbalance of the quirky Stars Hollowians, which is half the fun ofGilmore Girlsin previous seasons, is gone or, worse, awkwardly shoehorned in. Still, for fans of the series the final season is a must-own, if only to find out what happens to the characters they loved and laughed with for so many years.--Megan Chaffee』

It's hard to stop watching. If you're not sure about the show, watch the first couple episodes and you'll love it.』
(The Rural Juror... Try Saying That 3 Times Fast) 『Liz Lemon (you gotta love that name) is surrounded by chaos, and without her, the world would fall apart without somebody keeping it spinning and/or GE would lose tons of money. 30 Rock is simply a show about crazy, over-inflated egos, and the girl that tries to keep them all together. And while Tina Fey amazingly plays the straight girl (to the confusion, and bemusement of some), the show's humor comes from the out of control egos, from the dumb blond, Jenna, self-proclaimed mental, Tracy Jordan, and the Vice President of East Coast Television and Microwave Oven Programming, Jack Donaghy (NOT Donahy).
Amazingly, the only episode that is a complete mess is "The Pilot," but as the show progresses, and finds its footing after a mere 4 episodes. From there on out, it's brilliant. The show creates compelling and humorous storylines, crafting great characters along the way. The humor is not always prevalent however, especially in Liz Lemon's personal storylines, but the show certainly has its moments, such as the classic fireworks spectacular that you have to see to believe. The show also greatly benefits from pitch-perfect casting. Also surprisingly, the show doesn't misuse, overuse, or abuse its use of guest stars (in this season).
I must admit, it took 3 years for me to get into the show, but once you get into it, it compels you to keep pressing on. I don't really know why, or how they do it. They just do it. And the show deserves all the acclaim it receives, and yes, it deservedly beat The Office for at least this season. I look forward to spending more time with Liz Lemon, the best named character on TV.』 『Emmy Award winner Tina Fey writes, executive produces, and stars as Liz Lemon, the head writer of a live variety program in New York City.

Briskly paced and perfectly cast,30 Rockrewards viewers with brilliant dialogue (when Liz asks Jack why he is dressed in a tuxedo with no formal event to attend, he coolly responds, "It's after six; what am I, a farmer?") and fresh characters you haven't seen on a hundred other sitcoms. Jack McBrayer is the series' scene-stealing breakout star as NBC page Kenneth, a sweet and innocent "rube." The ensemble's seemingly spontaneous byplay invites repeat viewings to catch jokes and sly bits of business you might have missed (in "Tracy Does Conan," listen for the initial confusion over how to pronounce Tracy's less-than-ethical physician, Dr. Spaceman, or, in "The Hair and the Head," watch for the Katie Couric slur on the wall of what is purported to be NBC anchor Brian Williams' trashed office). In a season full of gems (including "Black Tie," featuring Paul Reubens as severely inbred royalty), there are only a couple of comparative clunkers, but the pleasure of this ensemble's company more than compensates.30 Rockis highly recommended for people like Kenneth who just love television so much.

Clumsy, overweight Po (Jack Black) dreams of becoming a kung fu master like China's revered "furious five," but instead seems destined to follow in the footsteps of his father and grandfather in the restaurant business. When great leader Oogway has a vision that the imprisoned kung fu warrior Tai Lung (Ian McShane) will soon escape, he declares it time to choose China's dragon warrior--one kung fu master deemed worthy of possessing the dragon's scroll and its secret to limitless power. Po and all the townspeople rush to the Jade Palace atop the highest mountain to witness the contest between Tigress (Angelina Jolie), Monkey (Jackie Chan), Mantis (Seth Rogan), Crane (David Cross) and Viper (Lucy Liu), but Po is locked outside the palace.
