CHICAGO – Theatrical satires of the Star Wars Universe are like the number of TV series the universe has wrought … too many to figure out if anything is worthwhile. But “Trade Federation” (subtitled “Or Let’s Explore Globalization Through the Star Wars Prequels”), presented by Otherworld Theatre in Wrigleyville Chicago, gets it right on.
Blu-ray Review: Catch Up with ‘Justified: The Complete Third Season’



CHICAGO – FX’s “Justified” is one of the best shows on TV and its cult of popularity continues to grow with each passing season. When the fourth season premiered earlier this week, it had half a million more viewers than for the third season premiere. People keep falling in love with Raylan Givens and Boyd Crowder, two of the most fascinating characters on TV. Watch the recently released third season Blu-ray set to find out why.

The second, Emmy-winning season of “Justified” is still the peak for the series but the third season was only a slight dip in quality. The fact is that Margo Martindale’s incredible work as one of the most fascinating villains in TV history cast a shadow over what followed and characters played by Neal McDonough and Mykelti Williamson couldn’t match her magnetism. However, the supporting cast and regular ensemble of “Justified” continued to do riveting work and the Blu-ray release is stunningly loaded with special features. It’s so great to see a company treating a show’s loyal fan base as well as Sony is doing here with “Justified.” If you’re a part of the program’s growing legion of fans, it’s well-worth a pick-up.

Justified: The Complete Third Season was released on Blu-ray and DVD on January 3, 2012
