1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
On a rainy day, I love to watch Cooley High and listen to the music of my generation. Times were hard, but they were simple. I get excited while trying to remember, what was I doing when that song came was out. Now, I can share Cooley High with my grand children and next generations! This is one of my best purchases!
One of the best blackexploation films ever made 5 out of 5 stars.

Cooley High is a film with heart, humor and tears. This is one of the films that inspired to become a filmaker. The emotions between the two main charcters Preach and GoCheese remins me of all my best friends. Glynn Turman and Laurence Hilton Jacobs are amazing in their roles and this film is highly reccomnded. The soundtrack is one of the best in a cinema history.

all quiet on the western front 5 out of 5 stars.

i believe this remake of the black and white film of the 1930's is the superior of the two. The Richard Thomas version is less preachy than the Lew Ayers version. Also, the ending is not "telegraphed" to the viewer as was done in the black and white film. In the Richard Thomas film the end is sudden, a shot from nowhere! I believe thiss adds considerable dramatic impact to the main theme of this story.
don't be fooled 2 out of 5 stars.

I have the original from TV that I taped many, many years ago and have used in my classroom for over 20 years. When I ordered the VHS tape a few years back I was shocked by the number of scenes that were deleted in order to condense the movie to one videotape. These scenes were critical to the development of the plot and make a huge difference in following Paul's descent. I was very disappointed because I thought the original was an excellent movie for the classroom.

An Entertaining Tool Applicable To Business. 4 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.
This movie, based on a true story, chronicles the sale of RJR Nabisco during an era when Mergers and Acquisitions were at an all time high. James Garner, in a brilliant performance, plays F. Ross Johnson, the CEO of RJR Nabisco who wants to take Nabisco private and be its majority owner.
The movie does a nice job explaining the financial aspects of a LBO(Leveraged Buyout) on such a basic level that anyone can understand. Throughout the film the storyline flows quickly, although at times certain scenes were a little canned and the satire a bit corny.
The backdrop of the movie is loaded with back and forth backstabbing, blatant greed, under the table dealing, and Jonathan Pryce's depiction of Henry Kravis, a Wall Street mover and shaker and corporate raider is outstanding.
Of course by no means this work supersedes the book, but nevertheless you may find the effort quite entertaining.
Over all, I really enjoyed this movie.
Editorial Review:
When the ceo of nabisco decides to buy out the shareholders and take over the company no one is prepared for what hits the fan in this comedy about big business and big bucks.

Commercials ad nauseam 2 out of 5 stars.
12 of 13 people found this review helpful.
I've always loved Frasier and the whole cast. Unfortunately, Paramount has seen it fit to add up to seven minutes of commercials at the beginning of the discs, not editable and without the recourse of being bypassed. If I wanted to watch that c... I would do that in the reruns. Shame on Paramount!
Fantastic Frasier 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.
The series was more than I expected. Each season was in its own boxed set and individually packaged. Every DVD was in perfect condition and a pleasure to watch. In Frasier's words, "Bravo".
SEASON 2 is NOT IN original packaging which ruins the set 1 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.
It appears that the set is complete, except that SEASON 2 has a substituted volume that may or may not be a "sham." The set has seasons 1 through 11, as promised, but SEASON 2 has NO BOX and is what appears to be an "amateur" duplicate! IN NO WAY DOES IT MATCH THE SET AS AN ORIGINAL. THIS IS HIGHLY DISAPPOINTING and I AM SURPRISED SINCE THIS WAS ONE OF THE MORE EXPENSIVE SETS OFFERED AND WAS OFFERED BY AMAZON.COM!!!
Intellectually pleasing 5 out of 5 stars.

The entire series are a delight to watch - Even though I now own the series on DVD, I can't help but wait to watch the next one - regardless if I need to sleep or work, :D. The boxes the DVDs have arrived in is exactly what I wanted, in a booklike format. The set matches well with my books on the shelf.
I like how the show doesn't insult my intellect and focuses on the very real breaking issues that affects life, meanwhile using absurd and subtle humor to illustrate the variety of solutions to the issues.

i wish it wasn't so 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
This movie is well made and extremely sad. I expected outright anti-white bias and distortion, but I think the truth itself is so bad that the movie makers probably realized there was no need. It is much more effective to portray Indians as real human beings with faults rather than as the perfect warriors, environmentalists, sages, etc. Recent movies have erred in this regard as well as showing whites as the perfect villains, haters, baby-killers, morons, etc rather than real human beings with faults. This movie got it right. I was shocked when the American commander sitting with Sitting Bull forcefully brought up Sioux atrocities against other Indians and Sitting Bull had no answer. Excellent movie.

Who is the enemy?? 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 1 people found this review helpful.
Looking at Bury my heart at Wounded knee just make us think that it is often impossible to define who is the enemy? General Custer did right in defending the americans farmers newly arrived in the west !! But the indians were defending ther own land (they were there for 10000 years!!!). For americans, iran is evil and for iranians USA is the great evil??? Who is right??? You can continue the list if you want. Good luck, it will take you 10000 pages of text in small caracter...

No Sophomore Slump Here! 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.
Prime Suspect 2 is just as well made and compelling as its predecessor. This story was especially interesting because of the race relations angle that was a focus of much of the program. Helen Mirren's Jane is not always a likable character but she seems very very real and the series really showcases what a fine actress Mirren is.
Big Fan 5 out of 5 stars.

I really enjoyed the 2nd episode. It has all the original cast, and shows the transition of Det. Tennyson. Its a rehash for me, I saw all on PBS. Its great to see quality in this dumbed down world.

VERY COMPELLING SERIES 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.
I bought my wife both Part 1 and Part 2 of the Prime Suspect series for Christmas. I had watched them at the time they were originally broadcast. Yet I was surprised at the excellance shown throughout each episode. As usual, the main character is a very complicated person. But this series adds an interesting element by introducing a Black officer into an all White unit, where he is definitly unwelcome. The parallel challanges to the main character and her new officer are very well done.
There is an interesting "did he do it or didn't he do it" element that has a novel twist at the end. I bet you can guess what I'm going to buy my wife for her birthday in March.

Most stories depict the Zulu Nation at the time of Shaka as only savages. This was an inspiring storie. Well done. Well acted. Well directed. The role of Shaka was played with power. A must for your collection. And you'll love the soundtrack.

Obviously this is an excellent epic! The DVD quality was average, the first DVD was not quite crisp in reception as you would expect in an average DVD. Perhaps this may have been due to VHS to DVD conversion. I was expecting a digitally remastered copy which this wasn't. Overall the DVD set was excellent value!

THE SECOND MOVIE, FROM " LOVE COMES SOLFTY"
WILLIE, IS A TRUE BLESSING, AND THIS TELL'S YOU MONEY CAN'T BUY EVERYTHING
WATCH ALL OF THEM.
Inspirational story about finding true love. 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.
The second of the "Love Comes Softly" videos. These stories should be seen by every child in America. Michael Landon Jr has continued where his father has left off and I know he is in heaven looking down on his son with such great pride and love. If you can't afford to buy them all (six so far) then I urge you to watch them on The Hallmark Channel and pick your favorite and add it to your video collection. I bought these for my grandchildren which I hope to have someday so they won't miss out on these special stories. I just hope they continue the videos.
Inspirational 5 out of 5 stars.

You should really start with the first of these wonderfully inspiring movies Love Comes Softly and follow with each of the rest in order to really get the full experience . I viewed all of them one Saturday and watched for almost 5 hours and wasn't the least bit bored . In fact I went to bed with the most uplifting spirit Iv'e had in a long time.

The film is a great piece of entertainment, a composite of fact and fiction. Enjoy it for what it is, warned of what it is NOT: a complete history of the personal computer.
Editorial Review:
The revolution came when we weren't looking. It happened in a garage. In a dorm room. In countless hours of effort imagining and intrigue. Apple co-founder Steve Jobs and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates were changing the way the world works lives and communicates. The event-packed saga of the quirky visionaries who jump-started the future unfolds with exhilarating cutting-edge style in Pirates of Silicon Valley. Noah Wyle (ER) portrays Jobs and Anthony Michael Hall (The Dead Zone) portrays Gates in this chronicle of the fierce and often humorous battle to rule the fledgling personal computer empire. "The story is almost Shakespearean... it's a tale of lust greed ambition love and hate" writer/director Martyn Burke reflects. And it's a success story unlike any other.Running Time: 97 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA UPC: 053939699623
