Reba – Season 6 on DVD

Fans of the popular TV series, Reba are thrilled with the release of season 6 on DVD this past June. The American sitcom is set in Houston, Texas.

The talented singer Reba McEntire plays Reba Hart, a divorced mother of three children. Her husband Brock, played by Christopher Rich, is a dentist. Unfortunately, he practiced more than dentistry at work and had an affair with his hygienist, Barbara Jean, played by Melissa Peterman. Barbara Jean becomes pregnant and Brock and Reba’s marriage is over.

Barbara Jean plays a major comedic role in this series. She also plays a major pain in Reba’s life, yet thinks of Reba as her best friend. Even though Brock and Reba are divorced, somehow their lives are still very much weaved together.

Cheyenne, played by Joanna Garcia, is the oldest daughter. She got pregnant in high school by Van Montgomery, played by Steve Howey. They are a rather ditzy couple living in Reba’s house with their baby, Elizabeth. The younger daughter, Kyra becomes resentful and moves in with her Dad and Barbara Jean. Jake, played by Mitch Holleman, is the youngest and adds a sweetness, yet sometimes mischievous touch to the show.

This series is full of good comedy, great acting and sometimes tears. In my opinion, this is one of the best sitcoms to hit the TV screen. It’s a show that relates to real situations and the will to survive, with a strong comedic touch.

Yes Man Movie Review

The movie, Yes Man, is very uplifting and inspiring at the same time. Even though Jim Carrey makes this movie funny in many parts, it does have a serious theme. You will find that you are laughing a great deal through the movie, Yes Man.

Jim Carrey plays the role of Carl Allen. Carl is focused on the present. He is rather anti-social. His life is at a virtual stand-still. His friend from the past asks Carl to attend a seminar with him. It is free.

At first, Carl takes the ideas of the seminar too far. He says Yes to everything in his life. His friends take advantage of him in the movie, Yes Man. But then things eventually balance out. I won’t give away the ending to the movie and spoil it for you.

This is a great movie to watch. It teaches you about balance. However, it’s not an in your face type of movie. Yes Man, is even a movie that teens could learn from. You will be laughing and learning at the same time when you watch the movie, Yes Man, with Jim Carrey.

Jumbo

Another animation (a good one though) goes into the credit list of the Indian cinema. The movie Jumbo is about a fat, blue colored, young elephant named Jaiveer, who loves playing with frogs and is in his own dream world where there are loads of fun and fun around. Everything is happy around him but one thing disturbs Jumbo the most, that he is without a father. It was rumored that his father was a coward and had ran away from the elephant community. This is not well digested by Jumbo who decides to venture out in search of his father.

Jaiveer sets on a journey to the human camp close to the jungle. Unluckily he fails in his quest. On his way back home, he meets a pink, pretty eyed elephant Sonia (now every hero however fat and round deserves to have a heroine right?). Sonia, who by the way despises being called Pinky accompanies Jumbo back home only to find his mother gone. So the friendly Sonia takes the crestfallen Jumbo to her home - a village full of good humans.

Jaiveer sets his journey to the human camp, close to the jungle. Unfortunately he fails in his motive. On his way back, he meets a pink, pretty girl elephant, Sonia and he falls for her. This was quite obvious because our Bollywood films are incomplete without heroines, you see (and we are proud of it).

So, Jumbo and Sonia come back and find that his mother is gone. So Sonia, who also starts developing feelings for Jumbo takes him to her home - a village full of good humans.
