Editorial Review:
One of the greatest scandals in American corporate history is chronicled in the riveting documentary Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room. Based on the bestselling book by Fortune magazine reporters Bethany McLean and Peter Elkin, and directed by Alex Gibney (who also produced The Trials of Henry Kissinger), the film is an epic morality tale, drawing upon a wealth of insider interviews and archival material to show how Enron, once the nation's seventh largest corporate entity, essentially faked its bookkeeping to report profits that never existed. The corrupt and closely-guarded mismanagement by Enron executives (including Kenneth Lay and Jeffrey Skilling, later placed on criminal trial) is revealed through such heinous concepts as "Hypothetical Future Value" (a way of reaping fortunes based on false profit projections) and the use of offshore "shell" companies to hide the massive losses that eventually toppled the company (along with the venerable Arthur Anderson accounting firm) and left 20,000 employees jobless. As a maddening portrait of hubris and white-collar crime, Enron transcends political and corporate boundaries by showing how smart and powerful men grew blinded by greed and brought ruin upon themselves, along with thousands of otherwise innocent victims. For better and worse, it's a perfect double-feature with eye-opening 2004 documentary The Corporation. --Jeff Shannon

Lino the Magnificent 5 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.
This is a very nice video that displays some of Lino's very masterly glassblowing prowess as well as some nice personal vignettes that exhibit Lino's lovely personality. The only problem I have with this DVD is that you can't play it on a TV DVD player.

It was OK for the ONLY DVD I could find on Lake Como region - although, to be fair, I was hoping for more lake district area than JUST Como.
Editorial Review:
Milan symbolizes the powerhouse Italy of the 21st century - a European center for finance and fashion. We explore Italy`s most extravagantly decorated Gothic cathedral, look at Leonardo di Vinci`s famous Last Supper and shop, shop, shop. A visit to the Milan Design Museum shows how, for the Milanese, everyday life is art. We take a train north to serene Lake Como, where we ferry-hop among lakeside villages, explore elegant villas and stop over at the historic Villa D`Este Hotel. A side trip to the ancient city of Bergamo and an alpine festival in the Valtellina complete our journey. Tips include train travel and boat itineraries.This DVD-R will not play on a standard DVD player. It contains Windows Media Video High Definition (WMVHD) content.

Pleasantly surprised..... 4 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
I knew when I ordered this DVD, that I wasn't getting the production value that goes into the HDnet discs, but I was pleasantly surprised by the overall quality. Image quality looks great on a 32" LCD flat screen TV, as well as an HD computer display. Mac users may have a bit of trouble watching the large WMV file, and navigating the menu, but it seems to work just fine on a PC laptop.

High, unnatural colors! 1 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.
This is my first HDNet WMVHD disc purchase. However, if the colors of all serious is the same way, it would be my last choice.
Totally unnatural colors, producer wanted to outline the beauty of the islands, but it is totally annoying!!!
Editorial Review:
Greek Islands - We island hop the Aegean to sun-drenched, upscale and exotic, Santorini on the rim of an ancient volcano. The island of Naxos offers serenity, a low-keyed pace and bargain accommodations. It's massive marble quarries and kouros sculptures were the toast of ancient Greece. We catch some R&R on trendy Mykonos, and then head to sacred Delos an uninhabited island covered entirely with ancient ruins.This DVD-R will not play on a standard DVD player.

While Athens sprawls, its historic core survives. After climbing the majestic Acropolis, prowling the Plaka, and cheering Greece`s best folk dancers, we take some easy trips outside the city. We make a pilgrimage to the famed oracle of Delphi and tour a beautiful medieval monastery. Then it`s off to the Peloponnesian Peninsula where we scope out Nafplion`s charming port and visit the epic ruins of King Agamemnon in the ancient capital of Mycenae. Along the way, we investigate local superstitions and sample tangy specialty treats. Tip: Finding great Greek food, traditional and contemporary.This DVD-R will not play on a standard DVD player.

Editorial Review:
Possibilities is an intimate documentary about Herbie Hancock and his in-studio collaborations with a dozen formidable pop recording artists, collaborations that explore the unexpected, like jazz improvisations. The film is also about how Herbie's unique world view shapes a creative environment that encourages artists to step outside the velvet prison of easy expectations. "The hip stuff," Herbie tells Trey Anastasio, in a scene from the film, "is outside the comfort zone." "Possibilities" follows Herbie over a year and a half collaborating with musical icons Carlos Santana, Sting, Angelique Kidjo, Annie Lennox and Paul Simon, young superstars Christina Aguilera, John Mayer, Trey Anastasio and Jonny Lang and newcomers Joss Stone, Raul Midon, Damien Rice and Lisa Hannigan. The film also puts Herbie's latest work in the context of his extraordinary musical career, and includes rarely seen archival footage of Herbie with the Miles Davis Quintet in 1962; Herbie leading his Headhunters with their hit tune, "Chameleon"; Herbie's classic video for "Rockit"; and never-before-seen duets of Herbie and Wayne Shorter playing for peace in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 2005 on the 60th anniversary of the atomic explosions.This DVD-R will not play on a standard DVD player.
