Walker, Texas Ranger: The Complete Fourth Season courtesy Paramount
OK, there've been a ton of releases lately that we need to discuss, because quite honestly, they are a hoot. And not just "funny, ha-ha" hoots, but also the kind that you see on the shelf and think "Oh. my god... I kind of want that!" So sit back, tell your shame to take the day off and get in with these guilty-in-the-first-degree pleasures of plastic!Walker, Texas Ranger — The Complete Fourth Season Come for the "Eyes of a Ranger" theme song, stay for the very special Christmas episode about an Old West Ranger who saved the day, then feast on the two-part season finale that gave us the Sons of Thunder spin-off. And never forget, when the Boogeyman goes to bed, he checks under his bed for Chuck Norris.Soul Food — The Complete 3rd Season Before Showtime ever got any attention for Weeds or The Tudors or even The L Word (which we [i[love), there was this stellar NAACP-lauded adaptation of the fabulous Vivica A.

Question: How can people in the movie business have the same name? Like there's a director called Morgan Freeman as well as an actor; isn't there some kind of rule that one of them has to change his name?
Answer: Two actors who are members of the Screen Actors Guild cannot use the same professional name. That's why you have one actress named Vanessa Williams and another named Vanessa L.

On Feb. 25, Soul Food kicks off its fifth — and final — season on Showtime. At least the all-black ensemble drama is going out on a high note. Soul boasts seven nominations for the 35th NAACP Image Awards (airing March 11 on Fox). Three of the nods are for outstanding actress in a drama series: Nicole Ari Parker, Malinda Williams and Vanessa Williams. For the women who play the Joseph sisters, it's a bittersweet time.
"As soon as I met all the cast members in the audition process," Malinda says, "I told everybody, 'Y'all know we got a hit, right? Don't play.' I mean, really, from the door. The first two episodes were so incredibly written, and I knew the caliber of actors that were representing these characters. I knew we were going to be a hit."
