Alexander & The Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Day [VHS]

3 reviews
Golden Books

Sony, 1998

terrific, upbeat, one even a mom can listen /watch again
this is just a very cute, "catchy tuned", video about a boy, the youngest of three brothers having a very bad day. The music reminds me of broadway. Cute, cute, cute. We borrowed it from the library over and over and finally bought it here. And I am not one for too much tv.

The audio commentary is the best thing about it! It is superb
This is an excellent DVD. I particularly enjoyed the audio commentary by Ray Faiola, which is superb. The commentary is so full of valuable historical information and trivia. I have listened to many DVD audio commentaries, and they range in quality from very good to very bad. This audio commentary is, without a doubt, one of the best I have ever heard. Other distributors of DVD's should listen to ...

American Masters

Winstar, 1999

Alexander Calder (American Master Series)
Frequently Calder's work is belittled by condescending critics who consider his work childish and naive. This look at Calder and his work does justice to this innovative master. Calder's greatness is often beyond words in the sublime grace of his mobiles and stabiles, making it difficult to articulate just what it is that is so awe inspiring to many of us. The producers of this video, ...

Pbs (Direct), 1998

Wonderful documentary
I loved reading Alexander.I had hoped that in my lifetime I would be able to go and trace his footsteps like Mr. Wood did.Unfortunately I waited too long.Some of the places are not safe ,and very treacherous. I did go however to many places that he conquered,up to Pakistan and India. I do not think that this is a waist of money in purchasing this DVD, on the contrary, riding on donkeys sometimes ...

Romance and drama come together in this beautiful story!
This movie is a favorite classic! All the actors do a superb job at bringing together everything a good movie needs... suspense, romance... drama... good versus the evil businessmen... and it makes you feel good to watch it. I'm an electronics teacher and show this to my high school students who love the movie! (It is not easy to inspire kids these days!!!) I've seen it over 20 times now showing ...

life as a theater; life vs. theater.
A few lines from the speech of Gustav Ekdahl near the end of the movie summarize the whole of Bergman's aesthetic achievement. His often grim yet always honest, ruthlessly honest view of the world of human relationships and the fragile web on which they stand appears here mixed with a touch of hopefulness, a glimmer as it were breaking through the dark of night. Honesty to himself, artistic ...

Alexander Technique

Wellspring Media, 2000

Back help
This video helped me enormously in discovering how to begin to move (and think!) differently in order to help my back pain and daily discomfort. Giving solid examples of everyday activities, the video addresses common problems people have with the way they move and how it effects their backs--from the way they sit at their desks at work to how they carry their briefcases(much of which I was ...

Dick Powell, Ruby Keeler

MGM (Warner), 1998

"No Horse, No Wife, No Mustache"
Dick Dorcey (Dick Powell) has a wise mouth and he doesn't hesitate to show it off to Sgt. Thornhill (Pat O'Brien), who he affectionately calls "Scrapper." Why is Dick in the army then? That's a good question. He doesn't like authority and gets himself into plenty of trouble, but he aspires to be an officer. His surroundings don't make it easy. Kathleen Fitts (Ruby Keeler) is on the base to visit ...

US only!
The movie-length episodes on this one are great, so much so I had one imported to my house in England (cause you can't get U.N.C.L.E stuff over here). Watch out though, one of the episodes was turned into a TV movie and is often shown on TNT...

LeVar Burton, Gates McFadden

Paramount, 1998

Great acting, good plot, and a terrific episode in general.
I think that Timescape is a wonderful episode due greatly to the fact that it more realist than most episodes. Now of course I like all of the episodes being a trekker and all, but sometimes the science is a bit looney. This episodes only science flaw was the ability to isolate the crew so well, but I guess it had to be done to keep the show interesting. Still, science aside, the acting was ...

Overview of Alexander Technique principles
I am new to the Alexander Technique, and was curious to learn more about it... This DVD is primarily LECTURE (like a talk show demo). but there are a few segments that involve demo/doing. The instructor Jane talks very very sloooow(boring), but I overcame this problem by running my DVD in fast forward 1.4x speed which made her speech more normal paced. The DVD divided into chapters ...

DS9 Forever!!!
I think the best thing about this episode and DS9 in general is that this series allowed the characters to be fallible. They aren't superheroes, they're ordnairy people caught up in the midst of extraordnairy times. There are no cop-outs, i.e. Odo's memory doesn't turn out to be a hallucination caused by some alien virus. The audience is not allowed the automatic comfort of knowing "Hey, this is ...

In Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's second season, we see this wonderful series really begin to grow and mature. This is exemplified by the episode "Blood Oath". Three Klingons, each of whom first appeared in The Original Series, return to Star Trek! Kor (from the TOS episode "Errand of Mercy"), Koloth (from "The Trouble with Tribbles") and Kang ("Day of the Dove") all meet up with Dax on DS9 ...

Say you'll stay
This movie was very good. In fact, it was great. The cast was one of the best and the script is very good thought through. The story follows Michael Kettman jr who falls in love with Jimmy-Sue Finger, an adult woman at least twice his age. The relationship becomes complicated since Mike really falls in love. When he discovers that Jimmy-Sue's husband has abused his daughter and hit Jimmy, he ...
