Book Review: CSI: An Insider’s Guide to the TV Phenomenon by Titan Books

June 15, 2013

While the series has come under attack numerous times because of the repetitive nature of its formula, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation remains in my opinion one of the best crime drama series television has to offer, continuously reinventing itself and keeping fans coming back again and again, even after ten years, for more of the… Read More Book Review: CSI: An Insider’s Guide to the TV Phenomenon by Titan Books

Music CD/DVD Review: Katy Perry – MTV Unplugged

June 14, 2013

There are many starlets nowadays gracing the covers of fashion and entertainment magazines, who are getting airplay that is disproportionate to the quality of music they offer. I know, starlets are actresses, not singers, but what with all the acting they have to do in their video clips and during interviews (and, some might argue,… Read More Music CD/DVD Review: Katy Perry – MTV Unplugged

Music Review: Various Artists – Michael Jackson: The Remix Suite

June 14, 2013

A couple of months ago, I posted a review Michael Jackson: The Remix Suite III. It seems like there has been a little confusion on my part, and here is my attempt to clarify it. First of all, what I reviewed wasn’t The Remix Suite III, but rather the entire Remix Suite. The label decided… Read More Music Review: Various Artists – Michael Jackson: The Remix Suite

DVD Review: Gabriel Iglesias – I’m Not Fat… I’m Fluffy, Live From El Paso

June 14, 2013

I love how more and more comedians are putting their shows on DVD. Not only does it give you the opportunity to take home your favourite show and replay it as many times as you want, but it’s honestly a great thing to have playing in the background during a party or a get-together. What,… Read More DVD Review: Gabriel Iglesias – I’m Not Fat… I’m Fluffy, Live From El Paso

Music Review: Seal – Hits

June 14, 2013

Seal’s unique voice and poetic lyrics made him one of my favourites back in the 1990s (or perhaps it was my young and impressionable mind? Who knows). Even 2007s System was a great listen (except perhaps for the song he did with Heidi Klum, a sweet, sappy yet terrible, terrible song); but even at that,… Read More Music Review: Seal – Hits

DVD Review: Michael Jackson – The Life and Times of The King of Pop 1958-2009

June 14, 2013

More often that not, the thirst for anything Michael Jackson-related has increased exponentially after his passing. Even hardcore fans who know everything there is to know seem to have broken down and accumulated more Michael Jackson memorabilia – well, at least the many hardcore fans that I know are doing that. As for me, I… Read More DVD Review: Michael Jackson – The Life and Times of The King of Pop 1958-2009

Already being the proud owner of the DVD sets for the show’s first four seasons. I was really looking forward to owning this one as well.

DVD Review: Family Matters: The Complete First Season

June 9, 2013

A spin-off from Perfect Strangers, Family Matters was yet another one of the now classic, family-friendly sitcoms from the late ’80s and early ’90s. And finally it’s on DVD. Family Matters is, well, about matters pertaining to a middle-class African-American family from Chicago. The show’s original focus was solely on the Winslow family, headed by… Read More DVD Review: Family Matters: The Complete First Season

Music Review: Precious, Based on the novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire: The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

June 9, 2013
Music Reviews on Sahar's Blog

The movie Precious: Based on the Novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire is difficult yet inspiring to watch. Precious is a teenager who is humiliated and degraded at the hands of the people who should have protected her: her parents (especially her mother). Needless to say, Precious doesn’t feel too good about herself, and understandably has a… Read More Music Review: Precious, Based on the novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire: The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
