My two year old daughter has come to really like these DVDs. She ask me to put them only every day. So who is Gerald McBoing Boing? He's a boy who can only make sound effects, nothing else comes out of his mouth. In each of these adventures, Gerald’s sound-making skills save the day! First Gerald stops a pirate named, Scritchy McBeard. Aarr! Then Gerald and his pals Jacob and Janine meet the partying "Mumbling Mummies of Mumble-Mumblay." After that, blast off to outer space to meet some really squeaky aliens. Next up, the monster, Windbag, makes some stormy weathr, but it’s a breeze for our hero Gerald! Woosh! Finally Gerald and friends travel "20,000 Boings Under the Sea" to visit a music-loving squid.

Available from Amazon for $12.

B000CS45TW.01._SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpgBolstered by an appealing cast and the comedic genius of Meryl Streep, Prime is an above-average "rom-com" that never stoops to compromise. The plot conceived by writer/director Ben Younger (Boiler Room) is a bit far-fetched, but once he's established that 37-year-old Gentile divorcee Rafi Gardet (Uma Thurman) is unknowingly dating the 23-year-old son (Bryan Greenberg) of her Jewish psychotherapist (played by Streep), the unlikely premise gets an intelligent workout, touching upon all of the issues that would realistically emerge as their dilemma is taken to its logical (or illogical) extremes. As a pair of genuinely devoted lovers in their sexual prime (hence the title), Thurman and Greenberg make this movie a constant joy to watch (and let's face it, Uma's utterly irresistible as an "older woman" who's looking for Mr. Right).

B000BY9FTW.01._SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpgThis DVD set gave us quite a few chuckles. It's the Significant Others series - an innovative and irreverent comedy about couples in and outside of marriage counseling. On Bravo for two seasons, these 12 episodes take an hilariously honest look at marriage and the rewards — and costs — that come with being in a committed relationship.More real than traditional comedies and more imaginative than reality shows, this series features a talented ensemble of improvisational actors and comedians who, quite literally, script themselves.

B000E1ZBGS.01._SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpgLiterary adaptations just don't get any better than director Joe Wright's 2005 version of Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice. The key word here is adaptation, because Wright and gifted screenwriter Deborah Moggach have taken liberties with Austen's classic novel that purists may find objectionable, but in this exquisite film their artistic decisions are entirely justified and exceptionally well executed. It's a more rural England that we see here, circa 1790 (as opposed to Austen's early 19th century), in which Elizabeth Bennet (Keira Knightley) is one of several sisters primed for marriage, with an anxious mother (Brenda Blethyn) only too desperate to see her daughters paired off with the finest, richest husbands available.
