Alvin and the Chipmunks: Road Chip

Better than the Chipwrecked, but not as good as the original.  The chipmunks seemed significantly larger in this one too.  Really catchy song to close out the movie.  Pass.

E.T.

Picked this up for $5 at Best Buy, almost bought the Blu-Ray for $10 but opted for the cheaper version...this was the right choice.  The effects were spectacular "back in the day" but they didn't hold up particularly well in 2016.  It definitely has it's moments, but the relationship between E.T and Elliot is a little strange, primarily the way that they share "feelings" and it made me somewhat uncomfortable (I was watching with my 8 year old son Cole), it never quite gets explained either. It was worth a re-watch, and while I didn't "love" it, it's hard to say "pass", so I won't.  Recommend.


Seinfeld: Season 4

Best season yet?  Absolutely crushed this one.  This is the season where Jerry and George get the pilot of their TV Series "Jerry", but there are so many classic episodes in this season.  "The Bubble Boy", "The Contest", "The Outing" (not that there's anything wrong with that), and "The Junior Mint" are just a few of this season's amazing episodes.  For a show about nothing, it sure has a lot packed in.  I've even started watching the "inside looks" to see how they came up with these stories, unsurprisingly, they're (almost) entirely from real life.  Am I still recommending these?  This should be a no brainer.
