Supernatural: The Complete First Season (2006, DVD)
5 of 5 found this helpful If you're a fan of good tv featuring "things that go bump in the night", then Supernatural is for you. Season two had just began when I started watching the show, and I quickly became hooked. I had to purchase season one to catch up on the backstories. Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles play Sam and Dean Winchester, estranged brothers brought together again by the disappearance of their demon-hunting father. As the search for their dad deepens, the supernatural experiences they encounter bring them closer together as Dean, who has assisted his father for years, helps Sam come to grips with the realization that this is the path he is meant to follow. The two are in stark, but perfect contrast to each other: big brother Dean's wise-cracking, hard as nails, black and white persona is offset by Sam's sensitivity and systematic approach to the situations they encounter. We see time after time that the brothers' greatest weakness, the love of family, proves also to be their greatest strength. As for the multitudes of ghoulies and ghosties the two must face along the way, we see old urban legends (Bloody Mary, Hook Man) brought to fascinating new life, along with the series' own macabre creations of terror. As Dean and Sam cruise the highways, searching for their father while battling evil, you'll be glad you came along for the ride.

The Wars of the Roses
1 of 1 found this helpful Not only is this book a must-read for the English history buff, it is a sure means of addiction to Alison Weir's masterful writing style. Ms. Weir, exhaustive in her research and factual detailing, brings the fifteenth century wars between the Houses of Lancaster and York to vivid life. In addition to the strife between the warring monarchs, the reader is also witness to the activities of the powerful, and frequently traitorous, nobility who served them.
Leaving no stone unturned, the effects of these wars is chronicled from mightiest to lowliest, for in doing such, we see how the lives of even the commoners, the true base of the monarchial armies, were continually ravaged by bloodshed, devastation, and change.
In this engrossingly captured time, the shadows of former kings play against the dynastic struggles of Lancaster and York; past usurpations and self-proclaimed entitlement blur the line where royal lineage and lust for power meet. What was best for the nation did not always figure into the scenario, as the reader finds out.
Witness how the variations of character and leadership, separated at times by a mere generation, could provide either flourishment or detriment to a kingdom, as seen in the case of the powerful Henry V's legacy lost to his weak son Henry VI. Should the pious Henry VI ever have been King? Certainly, throughout the course of his well-documented battles with Edward IV, you, the reader, will decide for yourself.
Either add to, or begin your Alison Weir collection with this wonderfully detailed, compelling work.
