Sorry it's been a while since I've blogged with the latest DVD reviews. To be perfectly honest, the past two and a half weeks have been an extremely stressful time in my life. I've been juggling between 3-4 jobs just to make ends meet for me and my family, working an exhausting night job until 1 a.m. in the morning, going between a weekend part-time job that I had to give up because the hours conflicted with my wife's work schedule, and two seasonal jobs that will end Christmas Eve. It's been staggering, to say the least, and, as my long-time boyhood friend Jeff Henson (whom I owe so many thanks that I cannot begin to say the words) has said, I'm in a season of gazelle intensity, to quote Dave Ramsey.
Needless to say, all of this job juggling and searching has left me with little time to sleep and no time to even watch and review DVDs. But that's not to say I'm completely giving it up. As soon as my life stabilizes again to a point where I can review some of the latest DVDs, I'll be back online. There are a number of recent titles that I want to post my thoughts on, among them the recent Disney-Pixar offering "Ratatouille", the extended DVD release of "High School Musical 2", Sony's recent release of "Spider-Man 3", Universal's extended unrated cut of "Battlestar Galactica: Razor" (which would have been the last review I would have posted here and on TrekWeb.com and was 99% complete with it but for some unusual reason it got deleted, which gripes me to no end), Paramount's new two-disc SE of Mel Gibson's Oscar-winning epic "Braveheart", and my continuing analysis of the first volume of "Young Indiana Jones".
Don't forget that next week marks the release of two long-awaited DVD sets that I've got my eye on that would make awesome Christmas gifts, the second volume of "Young Indy" and the mega-awesome five-disc "Blade Runner" Ultimate Collector's Edition (which I will go on record and say that for the upcoming Bitsy Awards will be selected as THE DVD release of 2007). I don't know if I'll be able to score review copies of either, or even if they'll be under my Christmas tree this year, but we'll wait and see.
That's all for now. Unless I blog again in the next few weeks, have a merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, and I'll see you again in 2008!
