Review(s): DVD 21 Jump Street - The Complete Fourth Season
Good Season
Overall very good season, isn't as good as season 3 due to the lack of effort on Depp's part. The one thing that they did with the dvd that disappointed me was that they removed the song With or Without You by U2 from the episode La Bizca, and replaced it with some generic song. That song really made the scenes in this episode very emotional, this new generic song, however, doesn't do that at all. I was very disappointed as I have been waiting for the episode for a while. Oh well what can you do. This dvd claims to have every episode from season 4, but in reality they only have 25. They put in Wheels and Deals part 1 which was actually an episode from the spinoff show Booker (Dennis). They also axed the last episode of season 4 (though not the last episode filmed in order) Blackout, which was also Depp's last show. I'm guessing that they are gonna put it in the season 5 dvd to capitalize on Depp. Oh well. All in all a good set just wish they hadn't made those pointless changes.
DEPP---CAN YOU GIVE AN EFFORT????
Great season of Jump Street although with Grieco bailing out after 1 episode the show loses a little chemistry although he does reappear in 2 episodes midway through the season...Johnny Depp shines in the first several episodes where he actually gives an effort but after episode 6 he basically gives 1 percent effort the rest of the season...At this stage in the show Depp wanted off the show and he let it be known to whoever would listen he hated the show so it's no surprise that he does not appear in 9 episodes and in about 5 episodes he appears for maybe 2 minutes...Oh and there is also several episodes where he stands or sits in the corner and says nothing or mumbles a couple of lines with his hair completely covering his face...It is actually fascinating to watch Depp give no effort at all. I can't belive the producers didnt kick the hell out of him becuase what he did was an insult to the other costars of the show especially the great Peter DeLuise...If Greico had stayed on the show he could have picked up the slack like he did in season 3....With that said there are several episodes where Depp gives an effort, most notably the first several episodes and late in the season in the episode Last Chance High Depp and Deluise do the McQuaid Brothers one final time and you get the feeling in that episode that they both know Depp is leaving the show which he did 1 episode later........BONUS to the DVD for adding the Booker episode Part 1 of Wheels and Deals
NEGATIVE to the DVD for leaving out the episode Blackout which is Depps final episode

Best known today as the series that helped launch Johnny Depp to stardom, Stephen J. Cannell's 21 Jump Street was also one of the first hit programs for the fledgling Fox network, a status that lasted for most of its five-year run (1987-91), thanks to its engaging mix of youth culture and police drama. As outlined in the pilot, Depp's baby-faced Ofc. Tom Hanson is transferred to the special Jump Street division, a unit that utilized young cops to infiltrate juvenile crime. Unlike many of Fox's youth-oriented shows of the period (i.e., Beverly Hills 90210), Jump Street took its stories seriously, and addressed numerous social issues in its episodes; though some of the fashions and slang seem dated, the program remains entertaining decades later.

John Waters's goofy, 1990 comedy about a Baltimore girl (Amy Locane) who can't decide if she should remain "good" in her 1954 world or hang out with the motorcycle boys is funny in a scene-by-scene way, but doesn't quite gel into the grand piece the director was hoping for. The cast is exceptionally likable, however, including Johnny Depp as an Elvis type and Iggy Pop as a chattering loony. The best material is set in a fringe world of bikers and losers on the outskirts of town, and Waters writes some hilarious sardonic dialogue for the characters. Cry-Baby is the last of Waters's more undisciplined features; he followed it with the glossier but no less perverse Serial Mom. --Tom KeoghMore Info about this DVD Director(s): John Waters DVD Release Date: Released the 12 July 2005 Usually ships in 24 hours

Mixed reviews and creepy comparisons to Michael Jackson notwithstanding, Tim Burton's splendidly imaginative adaptation of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory would almost surely meet with Roald Dahl's approval. The celebrated author of darkly offbeat children's books vehemently disapproved of 1971's Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (hence the change in title), so it's only fitting that Burton and his frequent star/collaborator, Johnny Depp, should have another go, infusing the enigmatic candyman's tale with their own unique brand of imaginative oddity. Depp's pale, androgynous Wonka led some to suspect a partial riff on that most controversial of eternal children, Michael Jackson, but Burton's film is too expansively magnificent to be so narrowly defined.

Sweetness that doesn't turn saccharine is hard to find these days; Finding Neverland hits the mark. Much credit is due to the actors: Johnny Depp applies his genius for sly whimsy in his portrayal of playwright J. M. Barrie, who finds inspiration for his greatest creation from four lively boys, the sons of widow Sylvia Llewelyn Davies (Kate Winslet, who miraculously fuses romantic yearning with common sense). Though the friendship threatens his already dwindling marriage, Barrie spends endless hours with the boys, pretending to be pirates or Indians--and gradually the elements of Peter Pan take shape in his mind. The relationship between Barrie and the Llewelyn Davies family sparks both an imagined world and a quiet rebellion against the stuffy forces of respectability,...
