Against the odds, Favreau and Vaughn are money once again
In 1996, Jon Favreau and Vince Vaughn made an unforgettable duo as swinging bachelors Mike and Trent in the indie comedy smash "Swingers." Five years later, they reteamed for "Made," another film written by Favreau and starring the dynamite duo. This time, Favreau is also behind the camera, directing his first feature film. Do Favreau and Vaughn rise to the occasion again? The answer, happily, ...

You're So Money, and You Don't Even Know It!
Trent Walker (Vince Vaughn), Sue (Patrick Van Horn), Rob (Ron Livingston), Charles (Alex Désert), and Mike Peters (Jon Favreau) are all struggling actors. Their social scene and lifestyle is totally retro, based on the days when Frank, Sammy, and Dean ruled Vegas. They have their own style of dress, lingo, and attitude--but all recycled from the days of Frank, Sammy, and Dean-O. Their scene, The ...

Fun to watch
This movie was a lot of fun to watch and had some cute scenes and some good lines. The actors did a great job and of course were very easy to look at(HA! That has a lot to do with the profession as we know.) I totally enjoyed this romantic comedy.

"IF I WAS GAY I COULD GET LAID ON THE SUBWAY."
Vince Vaughn is on a roll. I cannot think of a single bad movie he has ever made. "Made" is his very best. He is absolute genius in this spoof on gangster films, but so is everybody else. Jon Favreau plays his straight man, as usual, and is at his laconic best, but check out "Puff Daddy" Combs as some kind of gang leader in New York. Combs almost steals this show. In fact, everybody in every ...

He covers every region with excitement, it like taking a virtual vacation and learning to cook a few dishes along the way. Jose Andres educates you about the different regions and introduces you to the locals while ...

Awesome explanation of the earth's manufacture
Interesting and scientific explanation of the Earth's beginnings and including the next philosophized stage of existence. Great visuals and narration. Saw it on the History Channel and had to have it for my own DVD library.

Another excellent BBC production
Although I'm missing David's lovely voice in the commentary, this DVD, produced by the BBC folks that brought us many other topics, is again of outstanding quality. This fact alone made me confident that I would get my money back, and that I would get another topic to watch for the years to come. As usual, we were not disappointed! There is something for everybody in this documentary, it has a ...

excellent story
Something the Lord Made is an excellent story. Historically portraying the race relations at that time and how different people handled themselves was interesting. The Johns-Hopkins and "blue baby" connection hit home since my niece was born with tetralogy of Fallot in 2000 and had surgery and was treated at Johns-Hopkins. Alan Rickman and Mos Def were both very believable in their roles. Buy ...

Definitely a "Must See"....
I agree with the others who have seen the film, this is most definitely a must see documentary. Tired of all the lies being told by bush (he doesn't even deserve a "capital b") concerning the war in Iraq? Then watch this film and learn how the government has lied before (Vietnam) in order to get us into a war and how they continue to do so to this day. As for the "conservative reviewer" ...

PBS (Direct), 2006

one of my favorite history docs
I knew basically nothing about the F&I War before watching this... about 6 times so far. It's a really well done production, highly informative, and gives you a good feel for the eastern US as a wilderness in contention. Hard to imagine that where the Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh now stands was once a coveted spot in an ocean of trees. Footnote: It didn't matter who won what war, as the ...

A love made in America
Just before Ted Danson began his 11th and final season of his sitcom Cheers in 1992,he teamed up with Whoopi Goldberg in this hysterical and somewhat romantic comedy. This led to the stars' real-life brief romance. Hal Jackson(Danson) is a truck salesman who is the father of Zora Matthews(Nia Long). Zora's mother(Goldberg) was artificially inseminated when she became pregnant with Zora. When Zora ...

HDH COMMUNICATIONS SRL, 2006

A great chronicle of the John Paul II Papacy.
I am very satisfied with the 5 disc set on John Paul II from the vatican television center. It is over 5 hours in length on 5 dvd's. It breaks the papal term up into segments which make for easy discontinuous viewing. There is a lot of content in this video set. I learned numerous new things about the pope that I had not learned in several other Papal documentaries and biographies. Did ...

Wow!
My 22 month old son adores the Veggie Tales. This DVD is one that captivates him especially. And it brings tears to my eyes as well. We are not devoutly religious, but the values in these stories are just fundamental to human kindness.

This will DVD may fix your back pain as well
I treat non surgical back pain for a living and have done so for 25 years. If you are a golfer with recurrent back pain and follow the exercise routine in this DVD you may have less back pain after 4 to 6 weeks due to improved spinal "core stability". If you do the drills you will also hit the ball more solid and straighter more frequently. Following the DVD program over this past winter, I ...

An Entertaining Introduction to Wine
This is a fantastic introduction to the world of wine. It's divided into six episodes, each covering wine from a different region. Each episode is 30 minutes, so you're not getting a ton of depth here, but that's not really the idea. It's a very broad, relatively simple introduction to wine and the world of wine drinking, and it's just informative enough to be entertaining for both the novice ...

Well worth it.
Bought it for myself, but my kids, who are ages 8, 5, and 2, are also mesmerized by these videos. John Ratzenberger (who played the character Norm from "Cheers"), keeps it entertaining. Just waiting for the next series to come out now.

This one's great, as is the entire series
My mom bought many of the books and DVDs in this series for my son, and he loves them all, far more than any other series like Baby Einstein, etc. Although simple, the videos calm him down, and he adores the puppets- this one by far is his favorite with the ducks, lions, Noah, etc. I'd also recommend God Made Music and the new Christmas one. We generally don't let him watch much TV, but when ...

Fantastic
I originally saw this on TV, and made a mental note that if a DVD ever came out, I would buy it. It did, and it's now on my bookshelf. This "docu-fantasy" is an awesome explanation for how dragons would work if we officially discovered them. As a writer and avid reader of dragon-related things, this gave me many ideas to use in stories, and it made the whole concept much more real. I've read ...
