Review: Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment

  Twentieth Century Fox is responsible for some of my ALL time favorite shows and movies; 24, Raising Hope, Glee, just to name a few....and I got to review two of their newest DVD releases-Raising Hope Season 1 and X-Men First Class!

My Review
When I had the opportunity to review two of Twentieth Century Fox's newest releases I jumped at the chance!

The first title I received to review from Twentieth Century Fox was Raising Hope: Season One. Raising Hope: Season One was just released on DVD September 20th...and the complete first season DVD is jam packed with with exclusive featurettes, a gag reel, deleted and extended scenes, commentaries and an un-aired pilot.

Raising Hope is a fantastic comedy starring Martha Plimpton {Stef from The Goonies} Lucas Neff, Shannon Woodward, and Cloris Leachman. Raising Hope just received two nominations at the 2011 Emmy Awards and was also nominated for 'Favorite new TV comedy' at the 2011 People's Choice Awards.Raising Hope is about a 23 year old boy named Jimmy Chance who has to raise his infant daughter-Hope {aka Princess Beyonce}-after a one-night stand. Hope's mother was executed when the baby was only six months old due to her mother previously murdering many boyfriends. Jimmy lives with his parents Virginia and Burt Chance and his grandmother Maw Maw. Virginia got pregnant with Jimmy at 15 years old-she was raised by her grandmother Maw Maw. Burt was seventeen when he got Virginia pregnant with Jimmy and he now owns a landscape and pool cleaning service that he operates with Jimmy. Maw Maw is crazy but has moments of lucidity here and there.
    This show is laugh out loud hysterical. The comedy is witty and original and the characters are extremely likable. My husband and I have added Raising Hope to our top favorite TV shows. Season two is now airing on FOX and we are enjoying Season two just as much as Season one!  I am so glad that we own Raising Hope: Season one because now we can watch our favorite episodes from Season One over and over again!



I was also sent X-Men First Class to review from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. X-Men First Class was released on September 9, 2011 to DVD and is the prequel to the popular X-Men trilogy. X-Men First Class stars James McAvoy {swoon!} and Michael Fassbender. The film is set in the year 1962 during the Cuban Missile Crisis. X-Men first class focuses most on the relationship between Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr (aka Magneto) and the beginnings of their groups, the X-Men and the Brotherhood of Mutants. My husband and I are big fans of the original X-Men trilogy so when I got the chance to review X-Men First Class we were super excited-unfortunately we never got to see the film in theaters because I was on pregnancy bedrest. This movie was definitely worth the wait...it is fast paced, action packed, and has a great storyline. The acting is phenomenal and Hugh Jackman {Wolverine} has a quick cameo which I thought was brilliant! This is one film that everyone should own...and even if you aren't an X-Men fan James McAvoy's handsomeness and acting makes it worth your time!
