2.5 Men; Over and Over Again= Lots of Laughs : )
1 of 2 found this helpful Unlike lots of other Half Hour 'Comedies'; This is Really Like Real life, Really Funny, Extremely Creative, Never Boring or Infantile, and a True Joy to Experience...Over and Over Again !
Charlie Sheen May Be a Despicable Person in Real life, I in no way accept or condone his behavior. However, my Granny taught me, as a very small child, the example of not Judging others, as I did not know how they came to be the way they were. Plus, if I Loved them, an believed God Did Not make trash, they might do better. If I rejected them... that was not what will help them do better.
That said, if you wish to be Entertained, over and over, by a DVD Collection; I Highly Recommend "2.5 Men" Seasons 1-6. I await 7, and, hopefully, beyond.
There have been very few actors who are able to play characters this often, for this long while watching them grow and grow up.
This DVD Collection, instead of all I have saved on my DVR, will help me keep Human Frailty and my own shortcomings in proper perspective. Never take yourself too seriously, or life too seriously. None of the Characters in this Collection, IMHO, do either of those and that makes me laugh, over and over !

Malcolm X (DVD, 2005, Special Edition)
1 of 1 found this helpful As a History Teacher, I read the Book, saw the Movie when it first came out, and seeing this Special Edition with All its Extra Features brings me Joy.
We Really Need Well Done True to History movies. It is a way for those who do not read as well to Feel and Experience What Happened at differing Time Periods. Even if you read the book and are a avid history buff, this DVD and its added Documentaries provides more Visual Depth and Realism to one's understanding and connection with Important Aspects of History.
I never actually met Malcolm and Elijah, but I was Blessed to see and hear them both speak. I watched and saw the continual growth of Malcolm and how he influenced Whites, like me, who only knew Racist and Bigotry as a child. Elijah never seemed, IMHO, to change his continual rant against the 'white devil' and therefore, did not further Racial Understanding and Enlightenment.
I was going through college, at the time, and experiencing all this First Hand was a real Blessing to the furthering of my educational experience in the quest of inspiring students to learn all they can, before forming an opinion on "right and wrong" and hanging on to it, inspite of actual events and information.
I made sure my own children and students viewed and experienced this time period, from the perspective of those who lived it. This Film allows the viewer to form their own opinion on how they wish to view history.
Thank you for allowing me to offer my review of an Excellent Film, and the Extras the 2 Disk Special Edition offers, and the time period that made a difference in my own life.
