fairly-legal-complete-first-seasonIt’s odd that Universal waited this long to release the First Season of Fairly Legal on DVD just as the Second Season is winding down. The three-disc set includes all ten episodes of the first season including an extended version of the Pilot episode.

Sarah Shahi stars as Kate Reed, a former lawyer turned mediator, who will spend the entire season in a battle of wills with her stepmother (Virginia Williams), and in a constant dance with her ex-husband (Michael Trucco), while working at her recently deceased father’s law firm.

Over the course of the first season Kate will help a man (Paul Schulze) wrongly imprisoned for more than half of his life, solve disputes for a grumpy judge (Gerald McRaney), help an illegal immigrant (Christina Vidal) who served honorably in the U.S. Military stay in the country, save her friend’s (Brittany Ishibashi) wedding when her father’s (Clyde Kusatsu) insistence on an iron-clad prenup which threatens to ruin it, and solve a dispute between an adoptive father (Scott Holroyd) and grandmother (Kathleen Gati) involving a young girl (Olivia Steele-Falconer) after her mother’s death.

Morning Glories #19

/ / Comics

morning-glories-19-cover“P.E.” concludes as we catch up to Hunter being chased through the woods by a knife-wielding Zoe who is out to kill him just as she has killed the young girl who fancied him moments before. Last issue gave us some insight into Zoe’s motivations, and the final issue of the arc helps fill in some of Hunter’s past as well.

We get flashbacks including more instances of the young man’s trouble with time and the slow death of his mother in a hospital. We’re also given a last second twist and the introductions of new characters who have apparently been searching for one of the Morning Glories students for quite some time.

The issue doesn’t give much away, but it’s certainly memorable as by the final page the first of our original six characters will meet their end. Worth a look.

John Carter

  • Title: John Carter
  • IMDB: link

john-carter-blu-rayJohn Carter may not have been the box office bonanza Disney was expecting, but the film (based on the stories of Edgar Rice Burroughs) was one of my favorite films of the first-half of 2012.

The film stars Taylor Kitsch as a reluctant Civil War hero turned prospector who found himself miraculously transported to Mars and caught up in a war between the martian cities of Helium and Zodanga.

Over the course of the film John Carter will be captured and made a part of the the tribe of Martian Tharks, fall in love with a Martian princess (Lynn Collins), and uncover the secret that the mysterious group known as Therns want so desperately to be kept hidden. For more on the movie check out my original review.

And We’re Back

/ / Announcements

We had a slight weapons malfunction, but uh… everything’s perfectly all right now. We’re fine. We’re all fine here now, thank you. How are you?

As you may have noticed we’ve been offline for the better part of a week. When our server went down last Tuesday RF ran into a little bit of difficulty as one of tables was corrupted and made it impossible to immediately bring the site back up. It’s taken a little while but (thanks to the tireless efforts of a certain ‘monkey from dadsbigplan) we’re back up and running, and over the next couple of days you’ll see some changes to the site’s layout as we take this opportunity to roll-out the new look for RazorFine Review and make a few other tweaks here and there. Let us know what you think of the new design, and thank you for your patience.

Top Ten Live-Action Fairy Tale Movies

The recent release of Snow White and the Huntsman started me thinking back on Hollywood’s best live-action fairy tales. Sure, when we think movie fairy tales Disney’s animated classic films immediately come to mind, but over the years there have been several attempts to adapt, or create new, fairy tales without the use of animation. Many are best forgotten, but it turns out there are quite a few worthy of discussion. With apologies to The NeverEnding Story and Ever After (both of which will have to settle for honorable mentions), here are the Top Ten Live-Action Fairy Tale Movies.
