-Background and Plot-
The Devil's Due is the third book in Jenna Black's urban fantasy series about Morgan Kingsley an exorcist who is possessed by the King of the Demons.
Morgan Kingsley is not like other demon hosts or even like other humans. Morgan's biological father was someone who had been created as part of a series of experiments to breed the perfect host. Unfortunately for the demons who created him the experiment with him was unsuccessful and even more unfortunately for them Morgan was born. Morgan cannot be possessed like other humans because she is able to remain in control of her body while being possessed. This has made her the perfect host for Lugh, the demon king who is forced to hide ...
Advantages: All of the fabulous episodes in one set Disadvantages: Lots of money to shell out in one go
Fans of Due South have had to wait a very long time for the series to be available on DVD, but this is a box set worth waiting for. It contains every single episode from the three seasons of the show.
In season one we meet Benton Frasier, a member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and a stickler for the rules and appropriate behaviour.

In season two Ray and Frasier are on the trail of criminals again, and there's hilarious guest appearances from Leslie Nielsen as a long-serving Mountie ...
Advantages: Thought provoking, quirky Disadvantages: Not as funny as its made out to be
Recently purchased this DVD and decided to write a review, although it was released a good few years ago.
I Heart Huckabees is not at all what I expected it to be, although I did still enjoy it. Personally, i dont remember much advertising for the film when it was released in 2004, but from the DVD cover and summary I thought it would be a light-hearted comedy, similar to a "chick-flick",.
The plot revolves around a man named Albert, a nature lover who is trying to stop the development of another chain store opening named Huckabees. After seeing the same stranger, a tall African man, seemingly by "coincidence", three times in different locations, he seeks the help of two "existential detectives" to help make sense of these coincidences. The detectives begin following Albert's every move in an attempt to prove that the coincidences are ...
