New on DVD Rocko appeals to both kids

Rockos Modern Life Season Three The  episodes include Rocko Spunky Heffer and Filburt getting involved with a murder investigation involving the Bigheads.

This is a wonderful animated series that's fun for children and funny to adults Finding that balance is tough and when a product comes along that balances the halves so well it should not be missed.

Series creator Joe Murray provides a commentary track for the episodes that originally aired on Nickelodeon The series also includes marvelous voice work by Carlos Alazraqui Tom Kenny and Doug Lawrence The dark comedy from writer director Veronica Kedar starts with great promise when two women accidentally kill someone and struggle to get rid of the body.The two women  Joe  a drug dealer and Belle  a suicidal mental patient  are different but share enough similar angst that they make a compelling pair Their relationship slowly grows through the trials of their own making.

Kedar just doesnt have a good handle on how to end the movie What starts as a very smart meet cute turns into a series of mismatched moments that meander to the endThe Casserole Club Grade  A weekly get-together in  suburbia to compare recipes turns into a sexual foray sparked by booze and drugs. Each member of the group brings their own secrets that play out as they play around.

Everything about this film is clunky from the choppy way it was filmed to the acting Even the attempts to portray the rabid sexuality of the time comes across like love-making Mad Libs.DVD Review Franklin And Bash The Complete First Season
