Now available on DVD from Shout! Factory is Power Rangers Wild Force: The Complete Series, a 5-disc set featuring all 40 episodes. There are no special features or bonus extras.

"Wild Force" is the 10th season of the Power Rangers franchise. It borrows costumes, monsters, zords and action scenes from the Japanese Super Sentai series Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger. The first half of the season aired on Fox Kids before Saban sold the franchise to Disney. The second half aired on ABC Family and was produced by BSV Entertainment (Disney/ABC-Television Group).

Originally airing in 2002, "Wild Force" centered Cole Evans (played by Ricardo Medina, Jr.), a young man who had spent several years living in the jungle. He leaves his tribe and makes his way to the small town of Turtle Cove. There he finds the Animarium, a magical flying island, where he accepts his destiny as the Red Wild Force Ranger.

Along with Taylor, the Yellow Ranger (played by Alyson Kiperman), Maxwell, the Blue Ranger (played by Phillip Jeanmarie), Alyssa, the White Ranger (played by Jessica Rey) and Daniel, the Black Ranger (played by Jack Guzman), Cole must lead the Rangers against the deadly Master Org and his army of minions, in the attempt to protect Animarium. A sixth ranger, Lunar Wolf Ranger (played by Phillip Andrew) was added the cast towards the middle of the season.

While "Wild Force" received mixed-reaction from fans, the season did mark the 10th Anniversary of the franchise, which was celebrated in the "Forever Red" episode. All the previous red rangers returned to help the Red Wild Force Ranger stop the Machine Army from digging up Lord Zedd's zord, Serpentera, which was buried on the moon.

I was planning on taking a break from my Thursday ReReads posts after I had finished reading the Rotten School series last week, but tonight I decided to reread another R.L. Stine classic - 99 Fear Street: The House Of Evil: The First Horror.

Remember the Fear Street books from the late 80s and throughout the 90s?

Well, I was a huge of fan of the series (Still am!), as well as other Point Horror titles, so I have a big collections of titles to reread. Like I mentioned above, the title I picked out is 99 Fear Street: The House Of Evil: The First Horror, book one of a trilogy.

The First Horror centers on the twin sisters Kody and Cally Frasier, their nine-year-old brother James and their parents moving to the small town of Shadyside, Ohio. The family had bought a two and a half story house, a 30-year-old home that nobody has ever lived in, and it happens to be located on Fear Street!

Within moments of arriving at 99 Fear Street, a tree branch breaks off and nearly lands on Cally. While she suspects something is wrong with this house, the rest of the family just believes it is an old house that needs a little love; despite the fact that there are rats living in the walls, green ooze dripping from the faucets and weird sounds coming to life at night.

Now available to own on DVD from Mill Creek Entertainment is Dinotopia: The Series, featuring all 13 episodes from the short-lived 2002. There are no special features or extras on the 3-disc set.

Based on the book series by James Gurney, Dinotopia debuted as a 3-part mini-series on ABC in the spring of 2002. It was ratings hit and received an Emmy Award for Outstanding Special Visual Effects for a Miniseries, Movie or a Special. Prior the mini-series, ABC had greenlit a television series that would debut later in the year, but sadly none of the cast would return.

Premiering on Thanksgiving 2002, Dinotopia: The Series debuted to low rating and was quickly canceled. Only six episodes aired on ABC, but the entire series did air in Europe.

The series centers on half-brothers, Karl & David Scott (played by Erik von Detten and Shiloh Strong) and their father, Frank (played by Michael Brandon) being stuck on the forgotten world of Dinotopia, a land where humans co-exist with dinosaurs. When the brothers aren't fighting for the attention of Marion Waldo (played by Georgina Rylance), they are always saving Dinotopia from some kind of a potential disaster.

Wow, this year is really going flying by. It seems like it was yesterday when I signed up to review Brooklyn On Fire: A Mary Handley Mystery by Lawrence H. Levy,  but actually it was back in January. I was originally going to read the book right away, but sadly that wasn't how thing worked out, as here I am writing the review for it in May.

Set in 1890, Brooklyn On Fire centers on the private detective Mary Handley, who is just settling into her office when she is presented with a new mystery to solve. Out of nowhere, Emily Worsham comes into her life looking someone to help find her uncle's murderer. And of course, Mary is on the case, but there is one catch - Emily's uncle died over twenty years ago.

Most detectives would probably turn down such a case, but Mary is up for the challenge To unravel the mystery, she must unveil scandals and political corruption inside the New York's elite.

My Answer: 

 At one time I had a small reading group on "MSN Groups," but all the groups were eliminated, which lead me to start this blog. Originally, I started out just blogging about the books I was reading, but after awhile I started getting requests to review titles, and the rest is history.

If you've been reading my blog for the last few days, then you might have noticed a recurring theme about coloring books.

No, I'm not talking Batman coloring books or whatever else is popular with children these days. Instead I'm talking about adult coloring books. You know, the ones you can find at your local Walmart in the books section and around the checkout lines. These type of books have become extremely popular with adults of all ages.

Early this week, I received the Live Fearless: An Adult Coloring Book by Margaret Feinberg. It's a religious coloring book that is meant to help strengthen your relationship with the Lord.

The book kicks off with a one page biography of the author and followed by a two page introduction. Then there are twenty different illustrations with an included bible verse in each one. On the opposite side of every pictures is a journal page where you can write down your prayers or whatever is on your mind.

Arriving in select-theaters today, May 6, from Momentum Pictures, is the family-friendly robotic superhero computer-animated film Bling. Directed by Kyung Ho Lee and Wonja Lee, the film features the talented voice-cast of Taylor Kitsch, Jennette McCurdy, James Wood, Carla Gugino, Tom Green, Jon Heder and Jason Mewes.

Written by Chris Denk, Hyunjoong Kim and Kyung Ho Lee, Bling centers on Sam (voiced Taylor Kitsch), a low-paying robotic engineer at the Robo World theme park. Ever since he was just a little kid, Sam has dreamed of one thing - marrying the beautiful Sue (voiced by Jennette McDurdy), who is a popular reporter at the channel 7 news.

Sam was once told "Great Men Give Great Rings," so he is determined to find the perfect ring in time to propose to Sue on Valentine's Day.


Along with his robotic superhero best friends (a pig, a monkey, and a frog), Sam finds an engagement ring, but sadly things don't go as plan when he runs into the super villain Oscar (voiced by Jason Kravits), who is planning on proposing to Sue's aunt, Catherine (voiced by Carla Gugino).

Unfortunately for Oscar, his henchman robot, Victor (voiced by James Woods) has plans of his own.

To save the day, Sam and his friends must battle Victor's minions, locate a lost ring and race across to the city to find Sue.
