Review(s): DVD American Idol - The Worst of Seasons 1-4
Now that's what I'm talking about,...
...the worst auditions of Seasons 1-4 all on DVD.
My family and I are not really true fans of this show, because we would rather watch anything else but people singing for a wasted hour. But we always wait at the beginning of the year to watch the auditions hoping that we would laugh so hard at the singers' performances (Love that William Hung audition). And we did. Just a few months ago, though, Fox was airing an AI program called the "World's Worst Auditions", which lasted only an hour. As of today now, I've heard that they are going to release a "worst of" DVD that has TWO AND A HALF hours worth of material! That has really got to make a perfect Christmas gift now!
Hold on now...Just a few more weeks...

heheh, one of the advantages of knowing the people I do is that I get to sneak peeks at different DVD's..hehehe...well I've seen this one.
All I can really tell you is that the Best of is just like you'd expect. You see the best performances, the best moments on a jam...and i mean JAM packed DVD (seriously between both discs 1 and 2 and the bonus disc I'm not sure If I have enough time to watch everything on it!)! On the worst of I found myself trying not too look because of how horrid some people are. It's just sad to a degree to watch these people croak, scream, and cry their way through a song (my fave is Simon's comment after the girl with the Puppets sing "I'm tempted to put the dog through!").
Just when you think it's getting silly, Cellular serves up another tantalizing twist. In the time-honored tradition of Sorry, Wrong Number and Wait Until Dark, Kim Basinger is well-cast as a resourceful damsel-in-distress who thwarts her kidnappers by connecting with a n'er-do-well cell-phone user (Chris Evans, later seen in The Fantastic Four) who races against time to rescue her from afar. One good cop (William H. Macy) assembles clues to uncover conspiracy, while first-time writer Chris Morgan and pulp-movie master Larry Cohen (who conceived the plot, similar to his own Phone Booth screenplay) serve up a consistently satisfying string of high-tension surprises. Jason Statham continues to prove his rising-star status as the film's tenacious villain,... More Info about this DVD Actor(s): Kim Basinger Director(s): David R.

When it was released during Hollywood's golden year of 1939, The Wizard of Oz didn't start out as the perennial classic it has since become. The film did respectable business, but it wasn't until its debut on television that this family favorite saw its popularity soar. And while Oz's TV broadcasts are now controlled by media mogul Ted Turner (who owns the rights), the advent of home video has made this lively musical a mainstay in the staple diet of great American films. Young Dorothy Gale (Judy Garland), her dog, Toto, and her three companions on the Yellow Brick Road to Oz--the Tin Man (Jack Haley), the Cowardly Lion (Bert Lahr), and the Scarecrow (Ray Bolger)--have become pop-culture icons and central figures in the legacy of fantasy for children. As the Wicked Witch who...

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.
