The Inspector Lynley Mysteries - Series 6

3 reviews
Inspector Lynley

WGBH Boston, 2008

Not Dead Yet
I mentioned when writing about season five that this delicately etched and excellently acted series on PBS's "Mystery" was my favorite. It still is. I truly believe it is the finest show on television. Nathaniel Parker's Inspector Thomas Lynley and Sharon Small's Barbara Havers are eagerly awaited with passion each season by this viewer like nothing else on television. Based on Elizabeth ...

JJ Field, Felicity Jones

WGBH Boston, 2008

Excellent Entertainment
I thought the story was interesting from beginning to end. The actors were convincing and showed great depth of character. I didn't want it to end and I wish there was a sequel. It was well worth the price I paid. I was not familiar with this particular story and I was so pleased with the ending.

This Should Be REQUIRED Viewing For ALL Women!!
I am almost 65 years old, and I certainly do NOT remember learning about this while in school. I am ashamed to think that for even one second I considered NOT voting in this year's presidential election!! The beginning of this TRUE STORY on how we women came to have the 'right' to vote in America, starts off a bit slowly, but it picks up dramatically when the women are arrested and put in ...

Sex and the City on Blu-ray!
I was initially against a continuation of the runaway hit HBO series, Sex and the City - The Complete Series (Collector's Giftset) I felt that the season finale was perfection and any other stories to be told would only spoil it. Once the movie started though, I was drawn in and it felt great to see these "familiar" friends again: Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker), Samantha (Kim Cattrall), Miranda ...

Sex and the City
Watching the series and now the 'Movie' simply takes you to a place as if you either feel like you 'have lived there' OR want too! The movie couldn't have re-written my life with MY 'Mr. BIG' any better, except for the HAPPY ending....whatever! All I can say is, bring plenty of kleenex (I did and I shared too!) because you need it for the tears of sadness, as well as the joy. The ladies ALL had ...

Becoming Jane

MIRAMAX, 2008

Becoming Jane
I had originally seen the movie on cable and decided that I wanted it for my own. It is a very good story and is historically correct. It is indeed a very moving romantic story about one of the great writers of our time.

Candice Bergen, Kim Cattrall

New Line Home Video, 2008

Fabulous movie!
I must say, the first person who wrote a review for this is so snobby! Take the movie for what it is! It brought closure to the series. And as for the designers and "haute couture", seriously, how much money can a writer make anyway!! It is realistic and it brought emotions running back again. I LOVED the series as well and I think that people shouldn't take movies so seriously. Just have fun ...

The Women (Keepcase)

134 reviews
Norma Shearer, Joan Crawford

Warner Home Video, 2005

Didn't anyone notice the TECHNICOLOR???
"The Women" could have been a negligible film without the great casting and the subsequent great acting! But what makes this a true classic is the sudden,startling (and delightful) use of technicolor in the middle of a black and white film. The technicolor fashion parade is fascinating. And along with the view of these wealthy women with too little to do, set in the midst of the of the black ...

Pride and Prejudice - The Special Edition (A&E, 1996)

Colin Firth, Jennifer Ehle

A&E Home Video, 2001

An all-time favorite
I absolutely love this video. I always have, since I saw it as a teenager. The actors are well-picked and portray the characters of Darcy and Elizabeth well, not to mention the supporting cast's amazing contributions in depth and attitude. A definite must for any classical movie-lover.

JLA Unlimited once more
In content this set equals almost the first JLA Unlimited season. Nevertheless S 2 convinces with more action-packed episodes around 23 minutes long and towards the end of the season, a more serious plot that culminates with Lex Luthor and the Legion of doom teaming up with our favouite Superheroes so as to fight Darkseid, the ultimate Villain and Destroyer of the entire universe.

Manhattan Records, 2007

Beautiful voices and music
There is nothing better than getting the kids to sleep, sending my husband into another room, and sitting on the couch by myself to enjoy the beautiful angelic singing (and fast paced violin playing) of these women. Such a nice relaxing and soothing way to end a stressful day. You can't help but feel better after listening to these wonderful songs.

Gone With the Wind
Gone with the Wind (Four-Disc Collector's Edition) 1939 Excellent movie, excellent price. I got it for free shipping, but it took almost two weeks to get to me. I think it is worth the extra few bucks to get stuff sooner.

CNN Presents: Black in America

CNN, 2008

The Hard Truth
Soledad O'Brien does a great job of sharing the Hard Truth on the state of Black America. Although the documentary merely skims the surface on a number of important topics, it provides a great opportunity to start discussions on topics that haunt all Americans. The series shares very diverse perspectives on issues such as single parenting (both male and female single parents), AIDS/HIV, ...

Cinderella Meets King Midas
"Pretty Woman" harks back to various well-trodden themes: the Pygmalion legend, the prostitute with a heart of gold, and the poor soul who teaches the wealthy person the true values in life. Julia Roberts is a hooker who is rescued from life on the streets by the wealthy and ruthless business tycoon Richard Gere, and she rescues him from a life of reckless power and greed by teaching him business ...

Rupert Penry-Jones, Sally Hawkins

BBC Warner, 2008

very moving!!
I purchased this DVD on the advice of a friend who absolutely loves Rupert Penry-Jones and I was not disappointed!! The acting is top notch and you can feel the heartbreak of lost love between Captain Wentworth and Anne Elliot, when Sally Hawkins cries you will cry too!!! The music from Martin Phipps(same composer as BBC's North and South) is superb!! I wish he would release a CD of his ...

Pearl Harbor (Two-Disc 60th Anniversary Commemorative Edition)

Ben Affleck, Alec Baldwin

Touchstone / Disney, 2001

My favorite portrayal of "Pearl Harbour Re-Enactments"
I really liked the way this movie was presented. It took alot of the horror out of the element and showed love and compassion in a 1000 times told story. Pearl Harbour is history. History can be embellished pretty easily, especially by Hollywood. Not to worry, you won't feel like this movie was fake. I think most people walk away seeing this time and time again. Fact this is my second copy ...
