This cute couple spices up the spicing of any under-spiced meal. Ahh, forced alliteration is the sign of a truly gifted writer.So, what we've got here are a salt and pepper set that are hugging each other. It's cute. It's adorable. I'm sure there's some sort of yin and yang symbolism in these embracing shakers.

My review

fun and whimsical - also makes a great gift! I actually own 2 pairs of these!

Heroes - Season 1 (2006) [HD-DVD, 7-Disc Set] Added Sep 26, 2007

My rating

Description

Combining comic book style and geeky in-jokes, HEROES is a stellar series that draws comparisons to fan favorites such as LOST and THE X-FILES. But thanks to its well-drawn characters and intricate plot, this drama reels in more than just superhero fans. HEROES revolves around the premise of seemingly ordinary people developing fantastic powers. There's Claire (Hayden Panettiere, ICE PRINCESS), a Texas cheerleader who can't be killed. Matt (Greg Grunberg, ALIAS) is a cop in Los Angeles who can read minds. New Yorker Peter (Milo Ventimiglia, GILMORE GIRLS) has the power to adopt other heroes' abilities, while his politician brother (Adrian Pasdar, JUDGING AMY) has a special power of his own. Though the show boasts many other characters, its secret weapon is Hiro (Masi Oka), a Japanese office worker who is delighted to discover he can move through space and time. But heroes wouldn't be heroes if there weren't villains and a coming apocalypse to fight, and the show features a truly creepy bad guy in the seemingly omnipotent Sylar (Zachary Quinto). In addition to all the episodes from the first season, this release also includes a never-before-seen, 73-minute version of the show's pilot.

Mythbusters - Collection 1 (2007) [DVD] Added Sep 21, 2007

My rating

Description

Is yawning contagious? Could a penny dropping from a building kill someone? These and many other common assumptions are examined in the Discovery Channel's hit MYTHBUSTERS series starring Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage. Staging exhilarating and often explosive experiments, these special-effects wizards use science--and one very abused test dummy--to answer questions that have been plaguing viewers. This set collects 12 episodes from the show's second and third seasons, including "Cell Phone Destroys Gas Station," "Killer Brace Position," and the ever-popular "Lightning Strikes/Tongue Piercing."

My review

These guys are fun to watch! It's kind of like Beakman's world / Bill Nye the Science Guy but for adults! If you live in NYC, you definitely must watch the episode about dropping a penny off the top of the Empire State Building...
