Millions: A Lottery Story

Lifesize Ent., 2008

Great documentary
I really like this movie. It's a great look at a bunch of winners, and makes you ask yourself what you'd do if you won all that money. I thought it was really funny how such a big win can affect people, and also loved seeing how different people are in different parts of the country. I thought all of the people were fascinating, but I especially liked Phyllis. If anyone deserves all that cash ...

Waking Ned Devine
Very enjoyable movie. Was reluctant at first to take the time to watch, but very happy I did. No vulgar language, no nudity (well, almost!), no violence, no car chases, and no anti-American theme. Just a movie with lovable characters, beautiful backdrop scenery, easy on the ear Irish/English conversational language, lots of laughs, and a surprise ending. What's not to like? Oh, and the movie ...

Investigative Reports

A&E HOME VIDEO, 2007

Informative, but Dated
This work interviews both people who support and condemn lotteries. However, the work clearly falls on the side of condemning them. It spells things out. Minors have easy access to buying scratch-off tickets. People can become addicted to lottos. Also, the funds do not address education and seniors as they claim. I was not happy seeing Calvin Butts interviewed as he has made homophobic ...

The Lottery Bride
Jeanette looks smashing in beautiful fur parkas when she heads north of the Arctic Circle in this 1930 musical/action/romance. Rudolf Friml is credited with the music and after loving "The Firefly", I looked forward to this musical set in Norway. However, the music lacks the Spanish flavor of "The Firefly". But we are treated to special effects when a large dirigible (think Hindenberg) crashes ...

Good movie!!!
This is a good movie! Not that scary but, it makes you think about all the small towns out there that you never see. The ones that are hidden from the rest of the world. I can really see this happening in some small town in America. Great cast also. If you like scary movies that aren't too scary then this is a movie for you.

1930s New York Lottery Scam Gangster Movie: Tough to Handle (1937) Vintage Crime Comedy Murder Mystery with ...

A fine example of 1930s film making, Tough to Handle flies from start to finish.

The man's grandson and a newspaper reporter seek to take down the racketeers but violence erupts. The fast action is tempered by sharp comedy and exquisite singing from the lovely ...

This is Just Another One That Most People Don't get
I don't know why this movie didn't do better, and why some reviews are ONE STAR reviews. It is certainly much better than ONE STAR. Nevertheless, I found this to be up with GET SHORTY, very dialogue driven movie, which I personally love. Very funny moments, characters and story. Tim Roth, Michael Rapaport, Ed O'Neil, Bill Pullman and Michael Moore all add great funny performances. I generally ...

A&E Home Video, 2006

Somewhat ok
The documentary comes off as being a bit one-sided as it shows all the negative aspects of the lottery. I'm not sure what I expected from this video, but from the point of view of someone who is simply curious to learn more on the topic, this did seem to promote the idea that state-sponsored lotteries are immoral. If I were doing research on the topic of lotteries, I might give this four ...
