Tae Bo Workouts
I have to say how wonderful, motivational and challenging tae bo workouts are.In 2 months I've lost 32 pounds, I do tae bo 6 times per week for about 3 months now.I must share the toning results.I've never thought there were actually muscles under the fat in my body after losing 32 pounds.I can see a huge diference on the way I feel,my energy, I feel more confident. I know if I keep doing tae bo I can get to my goal.
AWESOME!
I love tae-bo! Billy Blanks is awesome and Tae-bo is fun and easy to use. This dvd is great because it has the different workouts so you can choose what level of difficulty you want. The 8 minute workout is also nice because it's quick enough to do if you only have a few minutes, but effective enough to get your heart pumping and let you feel like you've actually worked out, even if it's only for 8 minutes! I think anyone can do taebo-whether you are super-fit or out of shape. And if you can't quite do all of the moves in the workouts, Billy will show you ways to make them easier. Give Tae-bo a chance! I bet you'll like it!

Gets RESULTS! Offers everything it promises!
I bought this set back in 1999, reluctantly.I had never found a good exercise video and was getting the four pack hoping that at least ONE would be good.Well, it's 2006 and I am still doing Tae Bo.I have expanded my collection of videos (and DVDs now) but I still love the originals!Billy is an extremely motivational instructor, and you really feel the vibe of the people in the videos.It pushes you to reach out and grab that little something extra, and when you do and you reach the goal, WOW, it feels AMAZING!

This yoga set is perfect for busy people who need to work in a way to relax. On the a.m. tape, Rodney Yee takes you through a 15-minute morning yoga set, while Patricia Walden leads a 20-minute evening routine on the p.m. tape. The a.m. tape was filmed on a beach on Maui at sunrise, providing a soothing background for this gentle workout. In the morning, Rodney tells us, "the body is rested but stiff from inactivity." The stretches he demonstrates are designed to increase circulation, improve mobility, and bring clarity to your mind. The movements are easy to follow (they include a conscious relaxation, the a.m. workout, and a guided meditation), and the set is short enough that it can be squeezed into the most hectic of morning schedules. The p.m. video was filmed at sunset in Death Valley. Patricia's yoga set is designed to quiet the mind after the stress of the day and to help you make the transition from active to quiet. She uses a combination of a centering series, standing poses, forward bends, and restorative poses to help you ease into night. You will need some firm blankets to sit on and a yoga strap (although a belt or scarf will serve the same purpose) to perform these movements. Perfect for the beginner and for the overworked.

A must have
Charlie Brown is classic.You'll love his simple style and humor and the kids will too.It reminds me of simpler times in life without all the clutter and business of today.There's no fighting, special powers, x-ray vision, etc.Just Charlie Brown and the gang learning about life and teaching important lessons along the way.
Charlie's Holidays
These are the tv shows you remember.Not the bad - strike that - terrible holiday shows that the tv executives are giving us.The original is the best.

Editorial Review

From the moment the young Kunta Kinte (LeVar Burton) is stolen from his life and ancestral home in 18th-century Africa and brought under inhumane conditions to be auctioned as a slave in America, a line is begun that leads from this most shameful chapter in U.S. history to the 20th-century author Alex Haley, a Kinte descendant. The late Haley's acclaimed book Read more

A Picture Is Worth A Million Words!
Words alone cannot describe the effect this made for tv movie had on me when I watched the original showing on tv (1977).I was taken aback at how realistically they were allowed to portray this man's (Haley) story, which in effect was the story of the entire Black race and, to a large degree, the White race in this country!For Blacks it was like reliving their history.For Whites it was a serious enlightenment (and in some cases a rude awakening).It managed to open the door for dialogue between the races, and inspired a whole nation to get involved with genealogy too.Most importantly, it inspired most of this nation to say "never again."I have to agree with D. Hammork though in that I'm shocked and appalled at Amazon for leaving LeVar Burton and John Amos (who both played the MAIN character)off of their list of people who STARRED in this movie! This movie launched Burton's career; and John Amos had already been a star in his own right! Please get your act together!

Roots
Take me back to the Motherland...I Cried...I Sighed...I Hoped...Never could I Joke...Insightful Plight of Africans Forced into Slavery, Stripped of Everything, Except Their Hearts...Their Unwavering Faith, and In spite of it All, Overcame Tremendous Obstacles Heaped Upon Them with Grace and Dignity...

Makes you think!
This one stays in your system a while after watching.

almost perfect
These films look really good cleaned up, only thing George shouldn't of changed/added was the Greedo/Han scene in episode 4, the Han walking over Jabbas tail scene in episode 4, and the change to the end scene in episode 6 at the end where yoda, obi-wan, and anakin are all standing together smiling at luke. Replacing the old darth vader with the actor from episode 3 was just plain out dumb.
stars wars trilogy
my favorite movie is starwars trilogy. it is about the dark side and the good side.It takes place in the future.It is set in space.I liked it because it has action and love. It is also funny and is cool.All people would like the movie because it is about science and space. I give it a thumbs up.

Despite what people think, it's NOT the greatest sci-fi film ever
Let's start off with the "special edition" commentary.The special features were lame, and let's be honest, who wanted to watch the entire Disc special where they lauded George Lucas as a genius? Such ego!Sure, at the time, the special effects were fine and maybe it did INNOVATE a whole industry...but the whole "concept" of Star Wars isn't like Buddha's word of mouth, or anything.

This movie brings the novel Jane Austen wrote to life brilliantly!
I have read Jane Austen's novel called "Pride and Prejudice" many times, and when I saw that a movie version of it would be on television, I didn't have much hope that it would be a faithful rendering of the book. But when I watched the movie on television, it matched Jane Austen's novel, word for word. It was a masterful production, and the actors chosen to portray the characters were perfect in the roles they played. I knew I had to own a copy of this beautiful movie! (I had seen a shorter movie of "Pride and Prejudice" on television, and it bore very little resemblence to the novel written by Jane Austen.) I would highly recommend this movie to anyone who loves novels written by Jane Austen.

closest to the book
I loved this version, it was the closest to the book of all the versions i have seen, including the 2005 one.Jennifer Ehle also to me is the most authentic Elizabeth of them all, and I would say overall the rest of the cast match the books characters more closely, with maybe Mr. Bennet being a little more humorous in this version than the book.I'm not sure about fashions in that time period, but I have a feeling it was the most authentic as far as fashion goes.For example, I think most women at that time period and of that class level and agewould never be seen in public with their hair down, it would always be up, but in the 2005 version Elizabeth goes to Meryton out in public with her hair down.Also, it was the most authentic as far as language goes, in the 2005 version phrases/passages were changed for a modern audience to understand it better, but I prefer it spoken as it is in the book.Jennifer Ehle and Susannah Harker meet the maturity aspect of the women in the book as opposed to other versions where they are portrayed as mentally much younger and naive, and sometimes even giddy.I would have to say colin Firth is my favorite Darcy too, even though I had no problem with the guy in the 2005 version. I've also seen a 1980's version, and I think something from the 1970's, as well as the old 1940's version, so I've seen a few.

Looking for Mr. Darcy
I have watched several versions of Pride and Prejudice, and loved them all.

gary cole shines as custer in t.v. 's version of "dances with wolves"
gary cole as custer,rodney a grant as crazy horse,and roseanna arquette as libby custer make this t.v.mini series shine and one of the best tellings of the life of custer ever put on film.
Loved the movie,but how much longer for the DVD?
Despite being a made for TV flick, this is my fav Little Big Horn movie.I don't know why it takes what feels like forever to reprint VHS versions to DVD whith all the high-tech out there, but like Zulu Dawn, another of my favorite war flicks, it seems that the conversion of celluloid to digital is as slow as molasses in January (that's January in Norther Virginia, and baby, it get's cold here!).I found the acting of all the characters excellent, the storyline, wonderful, the action super, and the perspective from both sides, the red man and the white man, excellent, and the atmosphere convincing, although there is not much grit to the era in the movie.Just stop farting around and get me a DVD version and make me a very happy fan.

"son of the morning star" is a true epic
this is t.v.'s take at the boxoffic and oscar power of "dances with wolves" and it is really the best thing t.v. has done next to "lonesome dove". gary cole is just perfect as the bold,ego manic, loving husband, and a commanding officer no one would want. rodney grant of "dances with wolves" is also great as crazy horse and the battle is the center piece of this fine look at the little big horn from both sides and really brings home the sadness of what followed for both sides. this belongs on dvd, i hope it is soon. but if a tape is what it takes to see this movie then buy it you will love it ...

More Sex and the City = More Shoes!!!
Sex and the City is back again. This time there is more sex, more relationships and of course more drama. It's so good though, and addictive. Just by watching it, you are already a part of it, like their fifth girlfriend, with the same problems. It's funny and it's great all the way around!!!!
I loved it one of the best series ever!!
I love sex and the city for it's great humor to realness that no other show has done before. I have to say I enjoyed season 3 better but I liked this season better then season 1 and 2. The season started off slow but picked up fast. This season deals with more maturing story lines. Carrie gets engaged, Smatha learns what love is, Charlette delas with a not so perfet marriage and Miranda gets pregnet. It's weird to see how the charactors have matured through out the first 4 seasons. I cant waut to watch season's 5 and 6.

more sass, more sex and more drama from our favourite New York foursome
The fourth season of SEX AND THE CITY opens a new chapter of love, drama and, well...sex, for our favourite New York galsCarrie (Sarah Jessica Parker), Miranda (Cynthia Nixon), Charlotte (Kristen Davis) and Samantha (Kim Cattrall).

LOVE THE DVDS, NOT THE CASE
Obviously, the actual dvds are great. Season 2 is very good. I definately love it... 5 stars. The reason why I rate it 4 stars is because of the plastic case that the dvd's come in. Mine are always ripping and cracking. It looks pretty tacky when I keep having to tape up the sides. Getting the $200 set would be worth it if you dont have any of the seasons already.

Trendy, Hot, Juicy Tales
When has there ever been a show that can compare to Sex and the City? Carrie, Miranda, Samantha, and Charlotte returned for a second season, continuing to sleep their way into love (if possible). These four leading ladies have become cultural icons; television will never be the same (and, depending upon one's perspective, this will be either an agreeable or despicable trend).
Fascinating story
This is decidedly one of the best written and acted comedies I've seen in a very long time.Carrie and company are strong, self-sufficient women who even dislike serious relationships and the prospect of marriage.I absolutely love this show. Every episode is fascinating and thought-provoking. Carrie, Miranda, Sam, and Charlotte are all wonderful to watch. I learn so much about myself and humans in general by watching this show. Anyone who has not experienced "Sex and the City" must do so as soon as possible. This is the best show to come to television in a long time.Viewing this DVD made me a weekly watcher of the HBO series.Everything you always wanted to know about women, men and sex as seen through the eyes of four ladies with something for everyone.

Editorial Review

After a government-spawned "superflu" wipes out more than 90 percent of the earth's population, the devastated survivors must decide whether to support or resist the advances of a mysterious stranger from way down South (heh-heh) who wishes to claim this new world order for himself. Although the six-hour length makes it nigh-impossible to digest in one sitting, this well-paced adaptation of Stephen King's apocalyptic magnum opus ranks among the best adaptations of the author's work, with strong performances from Gary Sinise, Miguel Ferrer, and especially Jamey Sheridan as a good-old-boy version of Old Scratch. The opening scene, set to the strains of Blue Oyster Cult's "Don't Fear the Reaper," is one of the most chilling things ever shot for television. Director Mick Garris is no stranger to King's world, having also helmed Read more

GREAT STEPHEN KING FILM!
First off, this is a great movie that is one of the best Stephen King adaptations out there. One thing, this is based on the first cut version of the novel that came out many years ago and that is why not all full story is in it. Anyway, if you like good Stephen King adaptations, then this is the way to go.

Disappointing
I read The Stand when I was a teenager and remember being very disappointed after seeing this mini series when it was first aired on television.
Above average movie
I thought this was very well made. Little special effects was needed due to a great plot, script and acting. The music was good for setting the mood for this chilling tale. Laura San Giacomo deserved accolades for her performance as Nadine Cross, the one Randell Flagg chose for his lover. ... Read more

Stupendous!!!
This miniseries is by far the best movie I have ever seen--and I've seen thousands! The acting, writing, directing, music, and design are all perfect. It touched meso deeply--because I could relate to many aspects of the story--that I thought about it for days. It never lost its believability and drew me deeper and deeper into its vortex of romantic suspense. Megee's self-sacrifice--placing Ralph's career above her own needs and desires--was so admirable. And her unfliching faithfulness to him despite her lonliness, if not emptiness, was even more divine than the faithfulness Ralph professed to God. She becomes a true heroine but in a different way, an inner way, than we usually think of heroines.
Breathtaking
This miniseries was one of the formative memories of my adolescence--I remember watching it at 14, absorbed in the story and entranced by Meggie and Ralph. I watched it again as a 34th-birthday present to myself, and it was as moving a story as I remembered. Beautiful!

Very Good
This movie was a truly great one. I have read the book and I feel that it was great also. I believe one of the reasons why it doesn't go into detail about Justine and Dane's relationship as much as a few people of liked or that there wasn't anything that showed the relationship between Patsy and Jims is because the movie is so long without it. It's around 10 hours long. I think it showed the closeness between Justine and Dane quite well just some people didn't pay attention! Probably just thinking about something to complain about. I for one think that the actors did a great job and sound not too much like they were American. Give them a break. ... Read more

STARTING TO WORRY
I have used this series for a few years now and have had great success with it. Not just the old school compilation of talking heads, but an engaging, well-paced documentary. However, as others have said, I am getting concerned about its availability in the future when VHS players go the way of the 8-track. Anyone out there know of plans to put this on DVD?

History with Emotion
This series is so helpful to recall the chronological order of all of the things once learned in history classes at school. Hoever this series not only gives the facts, but adds a personal element to it by interviewing average citizens who remember the historic events recalled. By no means is this your "boring documentary". I have seen the series several times, and I still learn new things, and I still moved everytime, at the strength of our country and the tremendous blessing it is to live here.

What are you talking about?I went to Smith!
So says Kristin Davis, as Charlotte, when confronted with the idea of performing a particular sex act.This hilarious and clever series has many clever lines and funny moments that pass in the blink of an eye. I can't believe it has taken me this long to finally watch the show that everyone has been talking about for eight years.

Sex and the City - Complete First Season
Excellent- I expected it to be great, but it was even better than expected, I received it must faster than I anticipated. The show is just great. I have seen the shows I missed andI am looking forward to completing the entire series of the show.

Fabulous
Sex And The City is one of the comedies for the '90's, a slick, classy affair that's not afraid to push the boundaries to the limit. It's graphic (sort of) depiction of sex is ground-breaking, yet it doesn't forget it's main reason for being out there, to be funny.Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon are exemplary as Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda. The supporting players (Chris Noth, etc.) are helpful and the plotlines are racy and hilarious.

Walk Away 3 mile super fat blaster
I have done the two mile in the past and wanted something more intense.I recently got the 3 mile super fat blaster tape and I love it.It cost a lot less than a gym membership and I can exercise any time of the day, on the spur of the moment even.I recommend Leslie's tapes to anyone, at any fitness level.I am a Diabetes Educator so I even recommend these tapes to my clients to help them improve their blood sugar control.Leslie's program is fabulous!

I love this!!!
My delivery of walk away the pounds was recieved way faster then I though it would. Just got it today. I tryed it out and I love it I really needed a progam like this since I am so out of shape.
Easy, fun home workout
I love WALK AWAY THE POUNDS!! That's exactly what you'll do if you use the tapes regularly.The set comes with a 1 mile-get up and get started, 2 mile-high calorie burn and 3 mile-super fat burn. This set also includes a pair of weighted balls that make the workouts more challenging. They are easy to hold and are of about 2 lbs each. I would recommend this tape for anyone who wants to get in shape and can't get to the gym. Great, easy to do home workout! ... Read more

Myth, Mysticism, and Mischief
Joseph Campbell, in the last years of his life, still had a twinkle in his eyes. He speaks of myth -- the myths of many traditions -- from a lifetime of study, but he's not above chiding Bill Moyer or the audience to explore on their own.
Exceptionally insightful
This DVD series is excellent in terms of framing the existence of myth in the human experience, since the inception of recorded human stories, and how that directly translates into the evolution and development of all religions.

Understanding the core of mythology can resurect your thinking
The Power of Myth transformed my thinking about mythology. It exposed me to a much finer way of thinking about religion and cultural mythology. It showed me how important myth is on so many levels in society, especially didactically.

Groundbreaking on several counts, not the least of which was aninnovative use of animation and stereophonic sound, this ambitiousDisney feature has lost nothing to time since its release in 1940.Classical music was interpreted by Disney animators, resulting insurreal fantasy and playful escapism. Leopold Stokowski and thePhiladelphia Orchestra provided the music for eight segments by thecomposers Tchaikovsky, Moussorgsky, Stravinsky, Beethoven, Ponchielli,Bach, Dukas, and Schubert. Not all the sequences were
