Modern Family: The Complete Sixth Season
I believe Modern Family has a lot of life left in it and I am anxious to see what they come up with for this new season.  They still have a strong following, despite being past their “heyday”, and fans will most likely enjoy this DVD collection of season six.

Entourage
Other than a thin storyline, the film really is about four friends navigating Hollywood and all it’s "trappings".

Sleepy Hollow: The Complete Second Season
I can’t help but wonder if season three will be Sleepy Hollow’s last.  If they don’t change their strategy from season two, I think many, like myself, will get bored with the “demon of the week” theme and tune out.

The Vampire Diaries Season 6
The Vampire Diaries Season 6 maybe the saddest and bloodiest one so far.  From other worldly prisons, to a new witch/vampire hybrid, the supernatural dimension went into overdrive this year.

Mad Max: Fury Road
While I can’t say I was as enthralled with Mad Max: Fury Road as most people, I did enjoy finding out what all the excitement was about.  I found myself in awe over some of the stunts and impressed with much of the acting.

Mike & Molly: Season 5
Under all the humor (or lack there of), the show has some heart and a good “soul” which makes for a feel good half hour each week.  Unfortunately, it isn’t enough.  I wouldn’t be surprised if the show only has one or two seasons left.

2 Broke Girls: The Complete Fourth Season
2 Broke Girls was originally panned by critics in season one, the show has managed to survive, won two People’s Choice Awards, and garnered a following that has warranted a fifth season starting this Fall on CBS.

Far From the Madding Crowd
While the story itself isn’t all that exciting, this version is well acted and directed and overall has an excellent quality that makes it worth seeing.

Hot Pursuit
Sadly, Hot Pursuit completely missed the mark by not utilizing these two talented ladies. I‘m not sure what they saw in this film when they read the script, but, it isn’t funny, interesting or original.
