Dollhouse: Season One on Blu-ray and DVD Posted by Scott R. Garrigus  In a city of millions, many souls get lost… Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment presents a glimpse into a world where the wealthy, powerful and connected come to play when “Dollhouse” Season One becomes “active” on Blu-ray and DVD July 28. From the mind of Joss Whedon, the creator of groundbreaking cult favorites “Buffy The Vampire Slayer” and “Firefly,” “Dollhouse” stars Eliza Dushku (“Buffy The Vampire Slayer,” “Tru Calling”) as Echo, just one member working for an illegal underground organization that implants employees with false memories and skills in order to perform various missions and dangerous tasks. These “dolls” can become anything that anyone desires; a lover, a fighter, an assassin, even a best friend. Once their assignment is complete, their memories are wiped clean and they are released back into the “Dollhouse” to cohabitate with their fellow colleagues under the watchful eye of those in charge. But Echo is slowly starting to become aware of herself and her surroundings… and one outsider will stop at nothing to bring the entire “Dollhouse” down.“Dollhouse” Season One includes intense and stunning supporting performances from Olivia Williams (The Sixth Sense, Rushmore), Harry Lennix (State of Play, Across The Universe), Amy Acker (“Angel”), and Tahmoh Penikett (“Battlestar Galactica”).

REVIEW: Woodstock: 3 Days of Peace and Music Posted by Scott R. Garrigus  I'm too young to have been at Woodstock and my parents (while at the right age) weren't part of the hippie, druggie, peace crowd, so I have no direct experience with the event. But as a musician, I'm definitely fascinated by what went on there and of course, by all the great music of the time. It's been called one of the greatest rock concerts of all time and luckily it was turned into a feature documentary film so that everyone could at least see and hear part of the spectacular event. The film was originally released to theaters in 1970. Then in 1994 it was released on DVD as a 25th anniversary Director's Cut. This is the same cut that you'll find on the current Woodstock: 3 Days of Peace and Music 40th Anniversary Ultimate Collector's Edition, but it's been fully remastered for DVD and (more importantly) high-definition Blu-ray.Woodstock: The Movie Although the box says that the movie is 4-hours long, it's actually 3 hours and 45 minutes, so they were off by 15 minutes in the description. Even so, the coverage of the event is excellent and because of the filming techniques used (split-screen and triple-image composites) there is nearly 8 hours of material here. Most of the material is focused on the musical performances from such acts as Joan Baez, the Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Canned Heat, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Joe Cocker & The Grease Band, Country Joe McDonald, Country Joe & The Fish, Crosby Stills & Nash, Grateful Dead, Arlo Guthrie, Richie Havens, Jimi Hendrix...
