DVD Movie Reviews

It’s taken a while but finally, the world’s most sarcastic teenager Daria (Tracy Grandstaff) has made it to DVD and trust us when we say: Daria is sure worth the wait. Daria isn’t your average teenage girl: she’s witty, articulate and she’s stuck in what she calls Hell, Lawndale High which is the typical suburban high school. Aside from her best friend Jane (Wendy Hoopes) who’s an aspiring artist, Daria’s world is dominated by her career-driven lawyer of a mother and her father who’s just completely oblivious as to what’s really going on (surprise, surprise!). And then there’s Quinn (also Hoopes), her younger sister who’s your stereotypical plastic fantastic teenage girl. To cope, Daria takes refuge in her hopes that Lawndale High will one day be reduced to a wasteland where her fellow classmates are faced with the realisation that their future promises very little. Yeah, Daria isn’t like any other girl you’ve ever met.

Annie Walker (Piper Perabo) looks like any other intelligent and pretty young woman but as we’re all aware: looks can be deceiving. In actual fact, she’s the CIA’s latest addition to their team of field operatives and she’s about to get what she’s been waiting for. Summoned by her branch’s headquarters to enter into active duty a month before her training is officially over, Annie’s given no time to settle in as she’s thrust straight into the action. Yep, now her world is all about outsmarting cons, killers and smashing international crime rings. But there’s something or someone from her past that her bosses want more than anything else and they don’t care what they have to do to obtain it. What Annie has to do is make sure that she survives long enough to find out who or what that something is. Yikes!

Chances are, if you were asked which character from Family Guy should be given their own show, you wouldn’t automatically think Cleveland Brown (Mike Henry). However, this is a good thing because The Cleveland Show is one spin-off that is rather unexpected and delivers plenty of laughs. Following his humiliating divorce, Cleveland and his nerdy, oddball son Cleveland Jr. (Kevin Michael Richardson), move back to Virginia, Cleveland’s hometown. Before long, Cleveland is already making the moves on his high school crush Donna (Sanaa Lathan) who’s recently divorced. But there are a couple of problems that Cleveland needs to overcome to make things work with Donna in the form of her two children and believe us, they’re hard work! While Donna’s daughter Roberta (Reagan Gomez-Preston) is your typical teenage girl, interested mainly in fashion and dating, her son Rallo (also voiced by Henry) is quite the difficult infant. How will Cleveland survive?

Let us re-introduce you to Stan Smith (voiced by the brains behind Family Guy, Seth MacFarlane): he’s an extreme right wing CIA agent juggling family issues while trying to keep America safe – in the most bizarre ways of course. American Dad is by no means a new comedy, it’s been doing the rounds for quite a while now and for good reason: it’s hilarious stuff! Want some examples? How does Francine (Wendy Schaal) pretending to be the girlfriend of her gay neighbour sound? That in turn forces Stan (also voiced by MacFarlane) to act gay… yeah, clearly, swapping lives in order to fool relatives for a few days requires a little more forethought than either Francine or Stan give it. If you’re new to American Dad! this is one comedy that’s willing to embrace you with open arms and if you’re not a newbie, Volume 6 won’t fail to entertain you either.
