Review

Mandingo is the story of Perry King who plays Hammond Maxwell, the owner of a slave named Mede. Among Maxwell’s talents, he is a philanderer and a boxing trainer who takes on Mede to compete for him. Mede’s training, however, is interrupted by Maxwell’s wife’s come-ons and the so the poor slave is unable to concentrate for upcoming fights.
The movie is a weird sort of breath of fresh-air. Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t enjoy it one bit, but it’s like nothing I’ve ever seen. That’s either a good thing or a bad thing. In Mandingo’s case, it’s a bad thing. I felt very uncomfortable watching this piece of cinema. The only real sympathetic character was Mede and he really wasn’t that well developed. If you were on the fence of whether or not to buy this one, I’d skip it. You’re not missing much.

Jericho-The Complete Second Season

Category: Quick Reviews
The phenomenal television series, "Jericho" reaches its conclusion in this two disc set that covers all 7 episodes of the series that was brought back from cancellation by its legions of fans. Unfortunately, fans are fickle and the series didn't get the ratings it needed to continue, which is unfortunate as this was a great show.
Set in a small Kansas town after a devastating nuclear attack on major cities in the US., season one dealt with survival, supplies and evolving relationships. The season ended with a cliffhanger and fans revolted when they heard CBS had canceled the show without a conclusion.
