DVD: burn     DVD:       Jazz - A Film By Ken Burns147 reviews Pbs Paramount, 2004 It's not perfect, but its pretty much all we have I will admit that this series has its shortcomings, however no one else has even attempted to produce anything better. I'm no great lover of Ken Burns, but he did at least attempt to bring the history of Jazz to the masses in some form or another. It's not perfect by any means, but if it can spur the interest of even one person to delve into the music itself then the doc and Burns have done ...             The War - A Film By Ken Burns and Lynn Novick284 reviews PBS, 2007 Well done! This is one of the best documentaries on the WWII. I love it. It's not like usual crap done by Hollyweird. It's stripped off the hollyweirdish heroics and thats why this film is great. It's real and sticks well. I can't get enough of it. Good job!             The Civil War - A Film by Ken Burns59 reviews Civil War Pbs Paramount, 2004 My Family's War My family moved to Washington Parish just north of New Orleans in 1804 and participated in the Civil War in every way possible - on the right side of course. This series has always touched me and I watch it all the way through at least once a year. In fact I was watching it when I got the phone call that Katrina was not going to turn toward Florida but was going to be on a direct path for New ...             Thomas Jefferson - A Film by Ken Burns24 reviews PBS Paramount, 2004 an inspiring film As with most of Ken Burns' projects, I really enjoyed this film. I've noticed some reviewers faulting it as incomplete in some respects, and although I'm no expert on the subject, I don't doubt that this is not the whole story. I do think the film does a good job of providing insight into the life and thinking of a truly amazing man, and I doubt whether it would be possible to capture on film ...             Burn Notice - Season One115 reviews Jeffrey Donovan, Sharon Gless 20th Century Fox, 2008 Best New Series in a long time Burn Notice is an excellent take on the classic detective story. The main character, cut off by the government he used to work for reasons unknown, is dumped in Miami and left to fend for himself. The show has a great arc that focus' on the Burn Notice itself, but each episode he handles some other problem that is either in his way or lands on his lap. In many instances these give him the ...             Baseball - A Film By Ken Burns15 reviews Mike Barnicle, Mary Pratt (III) Pbs Paramount, 2004 The Usual Burns' Spin, but Outstanding Nonetheless The sheer magnitude of this set makes it worth 5 stars. Of course Burns beats us over the head w/ the racial angle, but that's Burns. If you're from NY, you'll get a lot of satisfaction from the New York bias. The cinematography is often stunning. Look for the Babe hitting a HR in slo-mo. Doris Kearns Goodwin somehow slipped into the mix, as did Mario Cuomo. Buck O'Neill is always ...             Burn the Floor41 reviews Fergus Logan, Matthew Cutler Universal Studios, 2000 Forget Dancing WIth The Stars!!! THis is much sexier. I had the VHS tape and was so happy when it finally came out on DVD. This gives the background information about the dancers and how they came to be on Burn The Floor. It also lets the dancers talk about dancing and costumes and how they tried to merge their various styles of dancing. If you aren't wanting to stamp your own feet and swing with the dancers by the end of ...             Crunch - Burn & Firm Pilates108 reviews Ellen Barrett Starz / Anchor Bay, 2004 Crunch-Burn & Firm Pilates Always in search of a great fitness video, I was well pleased with this one. Ellen, the leader is easy to follow and makes this video enjoyable with her attractiveness. I definitely get my heart rate high enough, without high impact movements. It took me two week's time to be able to do this video without muscle soreness, but now that I am past the soreness, I can feel my muscles firming. The ...             Burn!47 reviews Marlon Brando, Evaristo Márquez MGM (Video & DVD), 2005 Burn One of Marlon Brando's best works and one of his favorite roles, if not his favorite role. I had to watch this film for a school project. Very well done and very well acted by Mr. Brando. I am glad I own this DVD.             Rodney Yee: Yoga Burn62 reviews Rodney Yee Living Arts, 2005 Another keeper! This is a deceptively simple practice- why? Because if you aren't as mentally focused as you need to be it will seem slow, even silly. I love it because I have added weights to my wrists and ankles to increase the intensity of my practices and that on top of being one-pointedly focused on the movement, its quite a workout physically and mentally. Besides, I was getting tired of zipping through ...             Frank Lloyd Wright: A Film By Ken Burns and Lynn Novick8 reviews Philip Bosco, Edward Herrmann Pbs Paramount, 2004 A Great Piece on Frank Lloyd Wright This is an excellent documetary. I highly recommend it for anyone interested in learning more about architecture generally and Frank Lloyd Wright specifically. The material covered is a well done overview of the architecture of the 20th century, as seen through the lens of FLW's life. I found it an amazing tale. There is much to learn about architecture here - the history and scenes are ...             Burn the Floor: The New Show 'Floor Play' / Jason Gilkison3 reviews Jason Gilkison KULTUR VIDEO, 2008 Amazing, pure dancing! I believe this is the sequel to the original burn the floor that came out 9 years ago, but this production is 50 times better than the original. The dancing in this is so pure and honest, and not gimmicky like the original. These are some of the greatest dancers I have ever seen, you won't need to be a dancer or a even know much about dancing to enjoy this DVD. The choreography is done by Jason ...             Lewis & Clark - The Journey of the Corps of Discovery54 reviews Hal Holbrook, Adam Arkin Pbs Paramount, 2004 Ken Burns is the best As someone who's working on a novel about western 19th century America, this documentary is amazing. The questions it leaves us with are one's of wonder--how did they survive? They traipsed across the country in a boat, in horseback, and by foot. And back. They survived weather at -38 degrees; climbed mountains only to find more mountains, traversed deserts only to find more deserts. And through ...             Women's Health: Ultimate Fat Burn!45 reviews Womens Health, Amy Dixon Gaiam, 2007 terrific I used this DVD for the first time today and was pleasantly surprised. I'm pretty uncoordinated, but I could very easily follow the moves and steps. Plus, the instructor was fun, cute, and normal...seemed like the type of person you'd want to have coffee or go on a hike with. I really liked the encouragement and motivation, which didn't feel false or anything. Even laughed a few times at some ...             Denise Austin: Burn Fat Fast - Cardio Blast28 reviews Denise Austin Lions Gate, 2007 denise austin dvd This is a great, fun workout. It will make you sweat and it will give you great results. Denise is fun as always. I know alot of people say that she drives them nuts, but I personaly think she is very good at what she does. This DVD lets you interchange 4 different workouts. It has a 5 minute warm up and a 5 minute cool down. All the workouts are fun and very easy to learn. I usually do the warm ...             The Firm Bootcamp - Maximum Calorie Burn70 reviews Alison Davis Good Times Video, 2007 Actually harder than I thought... I have to admit that I didn't think this work out would be that tough. Don't be fooled by the southern girl charm like I was! This instructor will work you out. The mix of plyometric and cardio drills was enough to get me sweating about five minutes into the routine. All you need is two sets of dumb bells. I love that it was tough and to the point. I wouldn't recommend this one to a beginner. I ...             The Firm: Burn and Shape17 reviews Emily Welsh Gaiam, 2007 Great All Around This is further proof that the folks at the FIRM know how to create a soild workout. The cardio gets your heart pumping, and the sculpting moves get your muscles burning! Emily is a good intructor, she cues well. You'll need 3 sets of weights light, medium and heavy. I really like the abs moves in this one, they were challenging. I use this dvd in my rotation frequently.             The George Burns & Gracie Allen Show, Vol. 11 review George Burns; Gracie Allen Miracle Pictures, 2005 George Burns & Gracie Allen Show I found this video to be all that it was cracked up to be. Good quality considering the age of the show.             The George Burns & Gracie Allen Collection3 reviews Rolfe Sedan, Howard McNear Passport, 2007 Clean humor Good clean humor. These two were such a good team. Refreshing . I wish more shows were like these. No, I am not a senior citizen I just enjoy clean shows.             Mark Twain - A Film Directed by Ken Burns35 reviews Keith David, Kevin Conway Pbs Paramount, 2004 Burns' Best At least as good as Burns' other, more heralded works, the concision and love with which Twain's life is here presented make this a true masterpiece. If your local library doesn't have it, make them get it; every school and library in the land should have this at the front of their dvd collection. If ever there was doubt as to Twain's status as one of the finest and most quintessentially ...              search for DVDs austin, baseball, bootcamp, calorie, cardio, clark, collection, corps, crunch, denise, directed, discovery, george, gilkison, gracie, health, jefferson, journey, lewis, maximum, notice, novick, pilates, rodney, season, shape, thomas, ultimate, women, wright DVD:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
