DVD: well     DVD:       Journey of Man45 reviews Dr. Spencer Wells PBS (Direct), 2003 Outstanding Video from PBS This is a great educational video on DNA explained in the simplest terms that even a 54 year old engineer can follow it.             British War Collection (The Cruel Sea/The Ship That Died of Shame/Went the Day Well?/The Dam Busters/The ...10 reviews Richard Todd, Michael Redgrave Starz / Anchor Bay, 2005 A sterling collection of several excellent British WW II films Over the years I have with effort to see a large number of British films and had seen four of the five films in this collection. In all four cases, however, the print I saw was vastly inferior to the superb prints contained in this fascinating set of films. So far I've seen three sets of DVDs from Ealing: one featuring the films of Alec Guinness, another containing several non-Guinness ...             The Well9 reviews Richard Rober, Gwendolyn Laster Image Entertainment, 2007 Film's Candid Depiction of Race Issues Is Timely I nominated this film for the National Film Registry. Though 'Birth of a Nation' and 'Gone With the Wind' are probably considered the most well-known race depiction films, 'The Well' should be better known as it is just as informative as these older classics. Other viewers failed to note that despite the wooden acting, one of the films finest attributes is its unsparing view of human ...             Infinite Worlds of H.G. Wells13 reviews John Baddeley, John Bennett Platinum Disc, 2005 Fantastic Biography Of A Fantastic Man. As a long-time reader of H.G.Wells, I have often wondered about the person himself. "The Infinite Worlds Of H.G.Wells", although dramatically treated for entertainment purposes, certainly illustrated the intrinsic genius of the man as well as his ability, in spite of his far-out writings, to be a total human being. From the point of view of the production itself, I found it excellent in every ...             H.G. Wells' First Men in the Moon57 reviews Edward Judd, Martha Hyer Sony Pictures, 2002 A Real Gem I remember watching this movie fondly while growing up in the 1960s. So, when I saw this finally advertised at a phenomenal price, I had to own it. Well, I'm glad I did. I had forgotten how funny and campy this movie is. Sure you can see the wires holding them up. Yes, those bug creatures look like small children in oversized bug pajamas. And of course it's good to carry chickens with you to the ...             H.G. Wells' The War of the Worlds714 reviews Anthony Piana, Jack Clay Allumination, 2006 Our Gang does H. G. Wells Remember how the gang in the "Little Rascals" shorts would "put on a show" to earn some money and the show would be staged with cheap home-made props and laughably terrible performances? Well that "let's put on a show" spirit survives in the Pendragon version of WotW. Unfortunatly the home made props and bad performances also survived. I really wanted to like this DVD because the idea of doing ...             Dolly Parton - Live and Well15 reviews Dolly Parton Sugarhill, 2004 Truly Dolly This concert is "truly Dolly". Lots of interaction with the audiance and lots of Dolly's fabulous energy. I would highly recommend this to all Dolly fans.             Mary Higgins Clark - We'll Meet Again2 reviews Gedeon Burkhard, Laura Leighton Allumination, 2004 WEARY WHODUNIT Mary Higgins Clark is one of the world's most read suspense writers, and some made for TV movies of her books have surfaced. WE'LL MEET AGAIN is an okay entry but it's cast isn't up to the material; most of them perform lethargically and don't compel us to feel for their characters. Brandy Ledford plays a sexy young woman who is sentenced for the death of her doctor husband. She can't remember ...             JUNIOR WELLS : BLUES LEGENDS2 reviews Junior Wells Image Entertainment, 2007 Junior Wells and Buddy Guy in the 1980s This is the new offering from Blues Legends. Previously they have issued DVDs on Freddie King, Albert King and Memphis Slim with Sonny Boy Williamson. This concert is set at a place called Nightstage and they perform for 71 minutes. Footage of Buddy Guy as a younger player and concerts of Buddy with Junior Wells during their extended partnership are rather scarce. They have several snippets of ...             Yoga Journal: Yoga for Well-Being with Jason Crandell1 review Jason Crandell Bayview Entertainment/Widowmaker, 2008 Three well-designed 20-minute yoga practices Yoga Journal's Yoga for Well-Being offers three short (20 minutes each) yoga sequences, each with a different area of focus. The practices are led by yoga instructor and Yoga Journal contributing editor Jason Crandell, who provides instruction via voiceover while model Kathryn Budig demonstrates the postures. Each sequence begins with a very brief introduction by Crandell and then flows right ...             Strawberry Shortcake - Get Well Adventure6 reviews Sarah Heinke, DeJare Barfield 20th Century Fox, 2003 Sweet Treat for Entire Family When Honey Pie Pony hurts her leg, she must miss out on a great adventure and stay in bed. Despite the moans and groans of this demanding patient, Strawberry Shortcake and her friends Angel Cake, Ginger Snap, Orange Blossum and Huckleberry Pie nurse Honey back to good health and good nature. Scenes include HAVE A GOOD TRIP, IMAGINATION, GETTIN BETTER BOOGIE, and HOW YOU LOOK AT IT. My ...             Well-Founded Fear1 review Docurama/POV, 2007 Lives in the balance - the delicate struggle to obtain a future in America On average, maybe one in two hundred applicants are ever admitted to the United States as a refugee. The official definition of a refugee is someone who is afraid to go home for fear of persecution on account of race, religion, nationality, social group or political opinion. Any foreigner who finds a way into the United States may apply for refugee protection in the form of political asylum and ...             H.G. Wells' War of the Worlds4 reviews Jake Busey, Peter Greene Timeless Media Group, 2007 A must for a War of the worlds fan. Great actors, good solid screen play based on a great novel, OK visible effects without over using them. C. Thomas Howell, Peter Greene, Jake Busey and Andy Lauer are good actors who WANT these parts. Tinarie Van Wyk-Loots looks good topless and Rhett Giles makes a good priest. The decision to allow us to meet the priest while he still has his faith is a good one and I feel the movie does a ...             Bach - The Well Tempered Clavier 48 Preludes and Fugues / Hewitt, MacGregor, Demidenko, Gavrilow12 reviews Andrei Gavrilov, Angela Hewitt Image Entertainment, 2001 Must have in collection... Those who love Bach and possibly the greatest masterpiece for the pianoforte, the Well Tempered Clavier will find this to be a gem. 4 different players each with different styles, contrasting each other. There was good balance of focus on the hands and other parts of the body. Personally I found Demidenko's and Hewitt's performances to be superb. Hewitt's interpretation of the P&F #14 ...             Drive Well, Sleep Carefully - On the Road with Death Cab for Cutie12 reviews Benjamin Gibbard, Nick Harmer Plexifilm, 2005 Drive Well, Sleep Carefully I had a Death Cab for Cutie phase, so this DVD was perfect. If you're only semi into them, or only like a few songs, you might not like the DVD. If they're at the top or near the top of your list of good music these days, I'd recommend it.             We'll Take Care of You, 2007 While uncovering every aspect of the Vioxx disaster and other prescription drug tragedies, this film exposes the dark corners of the pharmaceutical industry. You will see how American people die from side effects of drugs they do not need while drug companies count billions of dollars in profits. Everyone taking prescription drugs will be deeply and forever touched by this documentary film.             Went the Day Well?7 reviews Elizabeth Allan, Grace Arnold Starz / Anchor Bay, 2006 Brutality and everyday people "Went the Day Well?" is incredibly suspenseful, historically fascinating, and surprisingly harsh. It is a no-nonsense film made for a wartime populace. While it incidentally packs in a lot of propaganda advice (how to spot suspicious activity, what to do in a military emergency, the importance of "doing your bit" for the country), the major drive of "Went the Day Well?" is to psychologically ...             Living Well with Bipolar Disorder: A New Look1 review The Guilford Press Good choice for beginners, esp those with trouble focusing This is a great bipolar intro dvd. I purchased this because my family member has trouble focusing long enough to read/understand a book, so I thought a movie would be easiest. She really really enjoyed it and was able to grasp a good part of it. It helped seeing others with the condition and hearing their stories. It gave us a good idea of the condition, without overwhelming or distressing us.             Dr. Andrew Weil's Guide to Eating Well1 review Dr. Andrew Weil Acacia, 2007 Good but extremely basic Dr. Weil has a very sensible and holistic approach to eating which is well explained in this program. I like his emphasis on debunking fad diets and on making eating pleasurable and socially integrative. He covers all the basic concepts related to healthy eating competently and clearly. I personally was hoping for something more advanced, since the information in this video is really oriented ...             The Bad Sleep Well - Criterion Collection29 reviews Toshirô Mifune, Masayuki Mori Criterion, 2006 Great Akira Kurosawa's 1960 black and white film, The Bad Sleep Well (Warui Yatsu Hodo Yoku Nemuru), is often compared to William Shakespeare's Hamlet, but it's an inapt comparison for, while Shakespeare's play has a higher sense of poetry, Kurosawa's film has far more relevance, realism, and complexity, even if, like Hamlet, it's a high class melodrama. The film was written by Kurosawa and four ...              search for DVDs adventure, andrew, bipolar, british, busters, carefully, clavier, colditz, collection, crandell, criterion, demidenko, disorder, founded, gavrilow, higgins, infinite, journal, journey, junior, legends, macgregor, parton, preludes, shortcake, strawberry, tempered, well-being, well-founded, worlds DVD:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
