DVD Review -Superman & Lois: The Complete First Season

November 7, 2021 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

Superman & Lois BD Boxart

Superman saves the world, and saves his family when Superman & Lois: The Complete First Season was released recently on Blu-ray and DVD from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment. Featuring never-before-seen extended versions of all 15 action-packed episodes from the first season, plus bonus features, Superman & Lois: The Complete First Season is priced to own at $24.98 SRP for the DVD ($29.98 in Canada) and $29.98 SRP for the Blu-ray ($39.99 in Canada), which includes a Digital Copy (U.S. only). Superman & Lois: The Complete First Season is also available to own on Digital via purchase from digital retailers and to stream exclusively on HBO Max starting August 20, 2021.

After years of facing super-villains, monsters, and alien invaders intent on wiping out the human race, one of the world’s greatest super heroes (Tyler Hoechlin) and comic books’ most famous journalist (Elizabeth Tulloch) come face to face with one of their greatest challenges ever – dealing with all the stress, pressures and complexities that come with being working parents!

With Blu-ray’s unsurpassed picture and sound, Superman & Lois: The Complete First Season Blu-ray release will include 1080p Full HD Video with DTS-HD Master Audio for English 5.1. Featuring all 15 episodes from the first season in high definition, as well as a digital code of the season (available in the U.S. only).

Superman & Lois stars Tyler Hoechlin (Supergirl, Arrow), Elizabeth Tulloch (Supergirl, Grimm), Jordan Elsass (Little Fires Everywhere), Alex Garfin (New Amsterdam), Erik Valdez (Graceland), Inde Navarrette (13 Reasons Why), Wolé Parks (All American), Adam Rayner (Tyrant), with Dylan Walsh (Blue Bloods), and Emmanuelle Chriqui (Entourage). Based on the DC characters, and Superman created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, the series was developed by Greg Berlanti (Arrow, The Flash, Batwoman, Supergirl) and Todd Helbing (The Flash, Black Sails), who executive produce alongside Sarah Schechter (All American, Riverdale), Geoff Johns (Titans, DC’s Stargirl, Wonder Woman) and David Madden (Kung Fu, Save the Last Dance).

My take on the series

What I love about this series is you get to see Superman as a father and not just as a hero. You also get to know his sons and see how they have to struggle to find themselves as they learn the truth about their father. The challenge of course is you throw in a son that has to learn about powers while dealing with other issues, as well as a big bad that is trying to destroy the way of life around Superman’s family and you get a series that will keep you on the edge of your seat from episode one to episode fifteen. For me, I am really looking forward to season 2! Pick up your own copy on Amazon!

Legends of Tomorrow: Season 5 Blu-ray Giveaway

October 25, 2020 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

(Stars: Brandon Routh, Caity Lotz, Victor Garber, Dominic Purcell, Matt Ryan, Tala Ashe, Lisa Marie DiGiacinto, Veronika London, Jes Macallan, Amy Louise Pemberton, Mathias Retamal, Shayan Sobhian, Adam Tsekhman, Jasmine Vega, and Arthur Darvill). As we reach the conclusion of season four, a demon named Neron has possessed the body of Ray Palmer (Brandon Routh), leaving John Constantine (Matt Ryan) to wrest Ray’s soul from the hands of Astra Logue (Olivia Swann), the “innocent girl” he failed to rescue from Hell years all those long years ago. Meanwhile, up in our world, Sara Lance (Caity Lotz) and her girlfriend Ava Sharpe (Jes Macallan) must deal with a magical creature-fueled paranoia. Harvesting souls via an insidious Palmer Tech app, Neron is poised to “Make Earth Hell Again.”

To make matters worse, Sara’s Timeship has been turned into a Noah’s Ark for various unruly monsters and magical creatures. Oh, and Ava’s Time Bureau was taken over by an evil Fairy Godmother. To defeat Neron, the Legends realize in the end that they will have to sacrifice one of their own. But it gets way worse…

In attempting to change her future, Zari Tomaz (Tala Ashe) will accidentally change not just the past she shared with Nate Heywood (Nick Zano), but fundamentally change who the Legends are in season five. Can our team go back to who they were next season? Can a reformed arsonist turned romance novelist Mick Rory (Dominic Purcell), a half-werewolf named Mona Wu (Ramona Young), and a punk rocker shapeshifter named Charlie (Maisie Richardson-Sellers) stop the literal Hell that Astra unleashes on the world in the finale? And what happens when the Legends awaken the original guardians of Time (no, not the Time Masters, sillies, that was season one!) who wish to erase everything the Legends have “screwed up for the better” over the past four seasons?

  • The contest is for one Blu-ray copy of Legends of Tomorrow: Season 5.
  • The contest ends on October 28, 2020 at 11: 59 pm.

The LG OLED TV is Bigger and Better Looking Than Ever

January 25, 2019 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

The 77-inch LG OLED tv brings the movie theater experience home. I have a ton of LG products in my home so I guess you would say that this is one of our preferred brands. I always find that I look to LG when I am looking for technology that brings design, value, and top notch innovation and LG always delivers on this.

All of the TV’s in my house in the past have been smaller but recently I’ve been looking at moving things around and replacing an older TV with a much larger one and this 77’’ class LG OLED C8 TV that I recently saw at Best Buy just blew my mind. This TV was huge and in watching it I could tell that this TV would definitely give an amazing home theater experience, which is perfect for my family!

The color and clarity on this TV was remarkable. As I sat and watched the TV at the store I found that the larger screen truly drew me in. The TV works with all technology and makes 4K movies, TV shows and more explode on the big screen.

LG OLED C8 TV

 

The LG OLED TV’s advanced HDR also enhances each scene to 4K quality, and its stellar Intelligent Processor completely maximizes picture quality by producing images with vibrant, rich colors, not to mention sharpness, and depth.

Even better is that you can also get this TV in both a 55 and 65 inch screen, so no matter what size you are trying to find you have a lot of great options.  Some of the models are below.

  • Model: OLED55C8PUA (SKU: 6202832)
  • Model: OLED65C8PUA (SKU: 6203009)
Not only does this TV have amazing color and clarity but it is also a very smart TV. LG TVs with AI ThinQ® have Google Assistant built right in, so you can control your compatible smart home devices using just your voice!
LG OLED C8 TV

I also talked to the Best Buy employee at the store and found out that you can create a hub for smart devices in your home. I love that it works with my Amazon Alexa. (DISCLAIMER: Service limited to certain languages. Some features require 3rd party service subscription. Google Home and Amazon Alexa devices sold separately.)

You can even control your TV with voice commands to change picture settings (ex. movie mode, game mode, sports mode etc.), change the volume of tv, search for shows and movies, control compatible connect home devices with ease. This is not something that I have in my TV now, but I love the idea of having this new control! Like many other TV’s this new LG OLED TV also allows you to launch apps like Netflix, Hulu, and much more.

LG OLED C8 TV

Beyond all of this I had already mentioned there is great clarity on this TV. The LG OLED TV has 8.3 million individually lit pixels that can brighten, dim or power off completely. This achieves the perfect black and displays a level of picture detail impossible with any other television technology.

All of this helps to match the level of color vibrancy and recreates your cinematic experience as intended by filmmakers which any movie lover will completely enjoy.

The last thing I will mention is how thin this TV is. When you first see this you truly marvel at how thin it is. It has a sleek, slim form and the ultra slim design goes with any room. Because of how thin it is the LG OLED TV can be easily wall-mounted or you can place it on a stand.

LG OLED C8 TV

Other fantastic features:

  • Cinematic Sound at Home with Dolby Atmos®: Dolby Atmos transports you with moving audio: crickets chirping all around, a monster roaring from behind, or a plane soaring overhead.
    Dolby Atmos content creates a more detailed sound experience that appears to come from everywhere for a wonderfully realistic, immersive experience that puts you inside the story.  *
  • Premium Content choices: LG OLED TV with AI ThinQ® features comprehensive support of major high dynamic range formats including Dolby Vision™ HDR from the cinema, as well as HDR10 and HLG, both with LG’s advanced tone-mapping technology that provides scene-by-scene optimization. **
  • LG’s most powerful processor, ?9 (Alpha9) providing superb picture quality: Award-winning intelligent processor. LG’s most powerful processor ever provides true-to-life images with incredibly rich colors, sharpness, and depth to deliver the ultimate picture quality. Provides amazing picture quality that seems shockingly lifelike and real

SunBriteTV – Outdoor Weatherproof Televisions Are Perfect For Your Outdoor Spaces

June 4, 2018 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

Lately I have been working to build out a space outdoors that I can use on a regular basis. Part of the work in looking into this is to provide a space where we can watch some television if we want to, when we want. I have been researching options for televisions that can stay outside (in covered and uncovered locations) and I came to find that the SunBriteTV Veranda series is a family of weatherproof televisions designed for full-shade applications but also have options including: Full Shade (Veranda), Partial Sun (Signature), and Full Sun (Pro).

Why is this important? Well, first indoor TVs don’t belong outside. SunBriteTV s are made-for-the-outdoors products. This means that you are safe to have these type of televisions out in the elements and also enjoy being outdoors as well.

SunBriteTV

This is an important advancement, in my opinion, because I have been talking to more and more friends that are trying to create outdoor living spaces and while they may not have initially thought about technology such as this, with the current advancements in the field all-weather TVs both enhance the outdoor lifestyle and are made to stand up to whatever is thrown at them. Also, in budgeting out this project, I have found that creating an outdoor home theater is one the most affordable room additions you can make to your home, and to be honest, the best seat in the house is in your backyard!

SunBriteTV s are engineered for permanent outdoor installation and are more durable, safer, and higher performance than using indoor TVs outdoors. Because of this there is no more choosing between enjoying great weather or watching the game and instead it’s all about bringing the conveniences folks are used to indoors outside.

SunBriteTV

 

Current SunBriteTV Offers|

  • Get a free: Outdoor Weatherproof Tilt Mount for 37″ – 80″ TV Screens & Displays – (Black)  with the purchase of: SunBriteTV – Veranda Series – 55″ Class LED – Outdoor – Full Shade – 2160p – 4K Ultra HD TV

Movie Review – PBS Masterpiece Little Women

May 10, 2018 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

PBS Masterpiece Little Women

 

About Little Women

“MASTERPIECE: LITTLE WOMEN” will be available on DVD and Blu-ray May 22, 2018. The run time of the program is approximately 180 minutes.  The DVD SRP is $24.99 and the Blu-ray SRP is $34.99. The program will also be available for digital download.

“Little Women is one of the most-loved novels in the English language, and with good reason,” says writer and executive producer Heidi Thomas. “Its humanity, humor, and tenderness never date, and as a study of love, grief, and growing up it has no equal. There could be no better time to revisit the story of a family striving for happiness in an uncertain world.”

Heading the cast are Academy Award® nominee Emily Watson (The Theory of Everything, Hilary and Jackie) as Marmee, the devoted mother of the four adolescent March girls; Michael Gambon (Churchill’s Secret, Page Eight) as Mr. Laurence; and Academy Award® winner Angela Lansbury (Murder, She Wrote, The Manchurian Candidate) as the March family matriarch, Aunt March.

The March sisters—the “little women” of the title—feature newcomer Maya Hawke as the willful and adventurous Jo; Willa Fitzgerald (Scream: The TV Series) as the eldest and most virtuous, Meg; Annes Elwy (King Arthur: Excalibur Rising) as the shy sister, Beth; and Kathryn Newton (Big Little Lies) as Amy, the youngest of the family.

Also appearing are Jonah Hauer-King (Howards End) as Laurie, the loveable boy next door; Dylan Baker (The Good Wife) as Mr. March, who is serving as a chaplain with the Union Army; Julian Morris (Mark Felt) as John Brooke, Laurie’s cultured and handsome tutor; and Mark Stanley (Star Wars: The Force Awakens) as the charming Professor Bhaer.

A celebration of family as much as it is a recognition of the challenges of growing up and forging an individual identity, the program remains relevant due to the universal themes at its core. Backed by a nearly all-female creative team, Thomas’ adaptation doesn’t shy away from tackling the darker, more complex emotions the March family experiences. Drawing from a novel that was well ahead of its time the show speaks to current issues as much as it does to the issues women faced at the turn of the 20th century.

Devotees of the original novel will relish the book’s indelible scenes in this MASTERPIECE production: the cruel fate of Jo’s manuscript, Amy’s accident on the ice, Meg’s first ball, Beth and the forbidden piano, the pickled limes affair, and many other cherished episodes in a journey to a bygone time.

Although modern society would be disorienting in the extreme to the March sisters, Thomas notes that even today “girls are still confused about their desires and their desirability, and the passage from innocence to experience is more turbulent than ever.”

“We need hope, and we need empathy,” she adds. “We need laughter, and we need catharsis, we need joy and inspiration. LITTLE WOMEN gives us all of these things.”

“MASTERPIECE: LITTLE WOMEN” has been commissioned by Piers Wenger and Charlotte Moore at the BBC, and is produced by Playground (Wolf Hall, Howards End) for BBC One. The series is a co-production with MASTERPIECE on PBS. The producer is Susie Liggat. Executive producers are Colin Callender and Sophie Gardiner for Playground, Heidi Thomas, Lucy Richer for the BBC and Rebecca Eaton for MASTERPIECE.

 

My Take on the Movie

As a father of two girls I have wanted my girls to read this book soon and when I saw that the PBS Masterpiece: Little Women series was coming to DVD I was excitedespecially when I asw the cast. I have seen other versions in the past and some have been great and some not so great so I did not know what to expect in this one.

While watching this with my daughters I can honestly say that this series was definitely a great one. The series covers both the Little Women and Good Wives books and follows the four March Sisters through their childhood and adult lives. The series covers so many things in the lives of these women, both the high and low points and even touches on important moments in American history as well.

In my opinion, the series portrays the sisters well and they found perfect actresses to play them too.  The series also shares some of the hardships that the family and the women feel throughout their lives and the actresses do a superb job at sharing the emotion of the scene in the perfect fashion.

What was great was that not only do you get some known actresses like Emily Watson as Marmee and Angela Lansbury as Aunt Josephine, but you also get a number of newer actresses that you may not know yet.

I was particularly taken by the acting of Maya Hawke who plays Jo. Maya does a remarkable job at capturing Jo’s tomboy nature without going over the top. She shows a wide array of emotions in her character which draws the viewer even closer into the film and she does all of this without overplaying the mannerisms that you would expect Jo to embody!

There is still love shown in many ways in the relationships that the women have with others and these relationships are also built well and the love that is shown is tangible.

In the end this adaptation of the text did a wonderful job at maintaining the overall feel of the text and also adding in some of the new nuances that make the viewer connect to the story as well. I have to commend the BBC and the cast for a wonderful job and I highly encourage all to enjoy this great film with your own!
Finally, what makes this version of “Little Women” special is that it’s not afraid to occasionally expand on the material – and unlike “Anne with an E”, it does so in a way that’s faithful to the spirit of the original story. For instance, there’s a beautiful moment on Meg’s wedding day in which Marmee goes into the room where all her daughters are preparing, and for a moment she’s struck dumb as they turn and smile at her. She wishes them well, leaves the room, and then stops to let herself have a little cry in the hallway, knowing it’s the last time she’ll have them all under her own roof. It’s just lovely in its poignancy.

So well done, BBC. With high production values, excellent casting, deft directing, and a full understanding of the classic story and its characters, you’ve made a worthy adaptation of “Little Women”.

Holiday Gift Guide – Roku to the Rescue!

December 17, 2017 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

Roku Streaming Stick

With the holiday season just around the corner, you need to consider a great gift that will let you stream TV entertainment in a fun new way. A Roku streaming stick is a simple way to stream entertainment to your TV. The Roku Streaming Stick provides you access to your favorite streaming channels (Netflix, Hulu, HBO Go, etc.) and more than 500,000 movies and TV episodes to choose from. Like all Roku players, there’s no monthly equipment or subscription fee.

I had never tried the Roku before, but in taking this out of the packaging I found that the Roku Streaming Stick was so easy to use. All I had to do was plug in the Roku device and I could start using it. Yes, I had to have subscriptions for some of the other services, but seeing that I had a few of the subscriptions already I found that once I signed into services like Netflix and Amazon I could start watching shows on them with ease.

Roku Streaming Stick

One of the nice things that I loved about the Roku was that I could take my Roky Streaming Stick with me wherever I was going. Thus, the device did not have to stay connected to the same television. If I was traveling I could take it with me and thus bring my favorite shows with me too.

I also love that on The Roku Channel there is a ton of free entertainment plus you can get free shows on channels like ABC, CW, PBS, CBSN, and YouTube. You can access Hollywood movies on channels like FandangoNOW, VUDU, Amazon Instant Video, and Google Play. You can access Live TV and sports on subscription channels like Sling TV, PlayStation™ Vue, WatchESPN, and CBS All Access. Also, you can find original content, movies and the latest TV shows on subscription channels like HBO NOW®, Starz, SHOWTIME®, and Hulu.

Roku Streaming Stick

This is a great device and seeing that you can get the least expensive device for only $29.99, the Roku devices will open you and your family up for watching some amazing shows in the future!

Marvel TV and Freeform Set Cast for Marvel’s New Warriors

July 11, 2017 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

New Warriors

Marvel Television, Freeform and ABC Signature Studios today have completed casting for “Marvel’s New Warriors,” their previously announced new comedic live-action adaptation of the popular Marvel comic featuring young adult heroes. “Marvel’s New Warriors” marks Marvel’s first foray into comedy for a live-action television series slated to debut in 2018 on Freeform, Disney’s young adult television and streaming network.

 

Not quite super, not yet heroes, “Marvel’s New Warriors” features six young people learning to cope with their abilities in a world where bad guys can be as terrifying as bad dates.

Milana Vayntrub

 

 

Milana Vayntrub (“This Is Us,” “Silicon Valley”) as Doreen Green a.k.a Squirrel Girl

Doreen is a totally empowered fangirl who has the incredible powers of a … squirrel. Her greatest quality is her optimism and her best friend is a pet squirrel, Tippy Toe.

Derek Theler

Derek Theler (“Baby Daddy”) as Craig Hollis a.k.a Mister Immortal

Craig can’t die … or so he says. Although Craig’s superpower seems amazing, he hasn’t made use of it at all – he figures if he has all the time in the world to learn how to do anything heroic, what’s the rush?

Jeremy Tardy

Jeremy Tardy (“Dear White People,” “Ten Days in the Valley) as Dwayne Taylor a.k.a Night Thrasher

Brilliant and noble, and maybe a bit full of himself, Dwayne is a shameless self-promoter and entrepreneur who also deeply believes in justice.

Calum Worthy

Calum Worthy (“Austin & Ally,” “Cassandra French’s Finishing School”) as Robbie Baldwin a.k.a Speedball

Robbie is an impulsive people-pleaser with a misplaced sense of confidence who throws kinetic balls of energy that are completely out of control.

Matthew Moy

Matthew Moy (“2 Broke Girls, “Steven Universe”) as Zack Smith a.k.a. Microbe

Zack is a shy hypochondriac whose ability is that he can talk to germs that tell him where you’ve been, what you ate and with whom you’ve hung out. It’s impossible to keep secrets around him.

Kate Comer

Kate Comer (“Hello My Name is Doris,” “The Comeback”) as Deborah Fields a.k.a. Debrii 

Deborah is proud, funny and quick-witted. A low-level telekinetic, very low like she can move a paper cup.

 

“I am thrilled beyond belief to be working with this incredible group of actors. They are funny, sincere, eager, charming and perfectly embody these characters. It’ll be a blast and an honor to create this show with each of them,” said series executive producer and showrunner Kevin Biegel.

 

“We’re so lucky to have assembled such a diverse and incredibly talented cast,” said executive producer Jeph Loeb. “We can’t wait for the fans to see what’s in store when we unleash these iconic characters into the world!”
