12.18.11 by Widge @ 12:24 am Comments on this: nada. Add your own.  It's the first two seasons of Delocated! from Adult Swim, hitting DVD in January. Here's what they have to say for themselves: Lauded by The Associated Press as, "The most outrageous stab at mockumentaries," this hilarious live-action series follows a man in the witness protection program who has been given his own reality show. Created by the leading star himself, Jon Glaser (Late Night with Conan O'Brien, Human Giant), Delocated! Season 1 & 2 contains 19 outrageous episodes and 90 minutes of bonus material, including deleted scenes, outtakes, flip books, demos and commentaries.
After testifying against the Russian Mafia, "Jon" and his family are uprooted and start living undercover. While quietly living in an anonymous suburb, "Jon" accepts an offer for the family to participate in a reality show based on their lives, and they move to New York. However, in order to protect their identities with television audiences--and more importantly, the Russian Mafia--they wear ski masks and have their voices surgically disguised. The first season of Delocated! finds "Jon," "Susan," "David," and their federal agent Mike dealing with divorce, friendship, falling in love, and becoming an honorary black man, while, in season two, a new government program is instituted to help protect "Jon". Surprisingly a mole is discovered in the witness protection decoy program and "Jon" is pushed to the brink in a shocking turn of events. Categorized as: Contests

12.16.11 by Widge @ 6:01 am Comments on this: nada. Add your own.  It's the unabridged audiobook of Death Comes to Pemberley on CD, by P.D. James, read by Rosalyn Landor. It's out from Random House Audio. Here's what they have to say for themselves: It is 1803. Since the end of Pride and Prejudice six years before, life at Pemberley has moved on. Elizabeth and Darcy have two fine sons, Elizabeth's adored sister Jane and her husband Bingley are regular visitors, and Elizabeth has successfully found her footing as the chatelaine of the great house. Preparations are underway for the annual ball in spite of threatening rumors of war with France, and optimistic talk has started about the prospects of marriage for Darcy's sister Georgiana. There is still the unfortunate matter of Elizabeth's younger sister Lydia, whose elopement with the dubious Wickham played such a large part in Pride and Prejudice--Wickham is still banned from Pemberley--but domestic life is on the whole placid.
But, the evening before the ball, this idyll is suddenly shattered. There are gunshots, a screaming Lydia turns up at the door, a body is discovered in the woods--and all at once we are plunged into a murder mystery, one recognizable as P. D. James at her best, yet conveyed with all the charm and wit of Jane Austen. As the rich and engrossing story takes us through an inquest, a trial, blackmail, mistaken identities, and forbidden love affairs, it will even answer some questions that Jane Austen herself left unanswered in Pride and Prejudice. Death Comes to Pemberley represents a rare conjunction of talents. It will be welcomed by the millions who delight in Jane Austen no less than by the millions who find the novels of P. D. James irresistible. P.D. James says of Pemberley: "It has been a joy to revisit Pride and Prejudice and to discover, as one always does, new delight and fresh insights. I have to apologize to Jane Austen for involving her beloved Elizabeth in a murder investigation but this fusion of my two enthusiasms--for the novels of Jane Austen and for writing detective novels--has given me great pleasure. I hope it will be shared by my readers." Categorized as: Contests

12.15.11 by Widge @ 12:24 pm Comments on this: one. Add your own.  It's Down the Darkest Road by Tami Hoag, read by Kirsten Potter unabridged on CD. That's out from Random House Audio. Here's what they have to say for themselves: Deeper Than the Dead introduced Tami Hoag's millions of fans to Oak Knoll, a small California town that, in the mid-eighties, seemed as idyllic as any, until the See-No-Evil killer shattered that notion. It took FBI agent Vince Leone and a new technique called "profiling" to put an end to the trauma. Secrets to the Grave brought Leone's teacher-turned-child-advocate wife, Anne, into a central role. Together with Vince and local sheriff 's deputy Tony Mendez, she solved an Oak Knoll murder with a particularly challenging mystery: the victim never existed. And now Hoag returns once more to Oak Knoll for the third installment of this best-selling series. Through Leone's pioneering, science-based investigatory skills, Hoag explores the early days of forensic police work. And through the chilling case at the heart of Down the Darkest Road she hooks even more listeners into the meticulously crafted, all-too-terrifying world of Oak Knoll, where the scariest secrets of all can be found...down the darkest road.

12.14.11 by Widge @ 5:22 pm Comments on this: nada. Add your own.  It's The Innocent by Taylor Stevens, unabridged and read by Hillary Huber. It's out from Random House Audio. Here's what they have to say for themselves: Eight years ago, a man walked five-year-old Hannah out the front doors of her school and spirited her over the Mexican border, taking her into the world of a cult known as The Chosen. For eight years, followers of The Prophet have hidden the child, moving her from country to country, shielding the man who stole her. Now, those who've searched the longest know where to find her. They are childhood survivors of The Chosen, thirty-somethings born and raised inside the cult who've managed to make lives for themselves on the outside. They understand the mindset, the culture within that world, and turn to Vanessa Michael Munroe for help, knowing that the only possibility of stealing Hannah back and getting her safely out of Argentina is to trust someone who doesn't trust them, and get Munroe on the inside. Tautly written, brilliantly paced, and with the same evocation of the exotic combined with chilling violence that made The Informationist such a success, The Innocent confirms Taylor Stevens' reputation as a thriller writer of the first rank.
