Willy Wonka

Years ago Willy Wonka (Gene Wilder), the world’s foremost creator of chocolate treats, closed his factory to the public to prevent people from stealing the secrets of his candy making. Out of nowhere the reclusive inventor ships five hidden golden tickets hidden in Wonka bars. Whoever finds a ticket will be allowed to enter the Wonka factory.

The five children include Augustus Gloop (Michael Bollner) who never saw a snack he didn’t eat, Violet Beauregarde (Denise Nickerson), spoiled rich girl Veruca Salt (Julie Dawn Cole), and television obsessed Mike Teevee (Paris Themmen). The fifth ticket is found by Charlie Bucket (Peter Ostrum) who lives in the slums just blocks away from the fatory with his mother (Diana Sowle) and his bedridden grandparents: Grandpa Joe (Jack Albertson), Grandma Georgina (Dora Altmann), Grandma Josephine (Franziska Liebing) and Grandpa George (Ernst Ziegler). Charlie and Grandpa Joe join the others for the tour of the factory led by Willy Wonka himself. Inside they find wonders that they could not even imagine.

The First Season of Hawaii Five-0

  • Title: Hawaii Five-0 – The Complete First Season

hawaii-five-0-first-season-dvdLast year CBS decided to reboot one of its popular cop dramas from the 1970s. Hawaii Five-O followed the adventures of the special state police force led by former U.S. naval officer Steve McGarrett (Jack Lord). The updated version of the show has proved to be a hit with both critics and audiences. And any show that gives you a built in excuse to see Grace Park in a bikini every week can’t be that bad of an idea.

After the death of his father (William Sadler) Navy Intelligence officer Steve McGarrett (Alex O’Loughlin) agrees to put together a special task force to track down the man responsible (James Marsters) and solve crimes the regular police aren’t equipped to solve.

The team McGarrett puts together includes Newark Police Detective Danny Williams (Scott Caan) who has moved to the island to be closer to his daughter Grace (Teilor Grubbs), Chin Ho Kelly (Daniel Dae Kim) a former police officer falsely accused of taking money, and Chin’s cousin Kono (Park) fresh out of the academy.

Castle – Season Three

Castle‘s Third Season finds Detective Kate Beckett (Stana Katic) and her plucky sidekick mystery writer Richard Castle (Nathan Fillion) solving murders, refusing to admit their true feelings for each other, and delving back into the unsolved mystery of Beckett’s mother. Sounds good to me.

This year’s cases involve counterfeiters, secret underground clubs, a dead psychic (Patricia Tallman) who predicted her own murder, a treasure map, a serial killer, a dead juror, a child kidnapping, aliens (okay, not really) and a shadowy government agency (yes, really!), a secret stash of Prohibition whiskey worth killing for, a dead matchmaker, a magician (Jeff Hephner) hired to plan the perfect murder, a dead lottery winner, the search for a dirty bomb hidden somewhere in the five burroughs, a death on the set of a soap opera, a murderous feud between rival pizza owners, a trip to Los Angeles, a murdered swimmer, and a death at a beauty pageant.
