DVD review: McCain, Obama biographies solid but unspectacular

Thanks for the heads up on the bio's, but "and" should never start a sentence... You know better than that!

i don't think there is any way that this "reporting", could be less informative, less sophisticated, less substantial......could the "Deseret" origin have anything to do with the meager content? i must admit to some bias, though had hoped that since one of your group had made a run at the presidency, you might have become somewhat more aware of the world outside your cloistered community...apparently not. frankly, this reads like something from an 8th grader written on Sunday night before it was due for Monday morning Civics class...

This article was as informative as any article with the headline, "Eating Fatty Foods and Not Exercising Causes Obesity". No fault of the Dnews writer, it's just that these two candidates are so extremely uninspiring, and typical of most politicians.

Is not the point of the article that the documentaries themselves are rather cursory? If so, why should a review of them be more in depth than the documentaries themselves. I also see know hint of the apparent conservative bias being alleged here, and I'm an Obama supporter.

Ignore them, Jeff.

And why should "and" never start a sentence? I've heard that "rule of thumb" before but see it all the time in some of the best writing such as in the Economist.

I would rather see these DVD's | 8:55 p.m. Aug. 3, 2008

THE PRISON BREAK SEASON 3 DVD AND BLU RAY DISC WILL BE RELEASED ON AUGUST 12, 2008

Season 3 Description - Most men would think breaking out of prison once is hard enough. However, escaped convict Michael Scofield finds himself wrongly incarcerated, this time in a Panamanian Prison where there are no rules, no wardens and no escape. In Prison Break Season Three, breaking-out on DVD and Blu-Ray Disc (BD) August 12th from Fox Home Entertainment, Scolfield, morally-deprived T-Bag, former-guard Bellick and FBI Agent Malone, must not only fight to survive but also plan the most dangerous prison escape yet. Deemed "gripping, gut-wrenching" (Dallas Morning News) and one of TV's guiltiest pleasures (Variety), the third season of the top-rated series is filled with intense suspense, drama and action.

They remind me of "the secret society" in Utah - also called "The Company".
