I Am Legend (Widescreen Single-Disc Edition) 625 reviews Will Smith, Alice Braga
Warner Home Video, 2008
Great service!
+ i am legend + Post-Apocalyptic Horror/Drama With A Spiritual Edge
I ordered the movie as a Christmas present, and it came very quickly. There was no delay, and the seller kept in touch until the product was delivered. We have not watched the movie yet as it is for Christmas, but I have not doubt of the quality given the service thus far.

Veronica Guerin 55 reviews Cate Blanchett, Gerard McSorley
Walt Disney Video, 2004
A moving and gripping film
+ Veronica Guerin too EXCELLENT to NOT watch! + Excellent for a movie on a true story...
I thought this was a brilliant film, very moving and non-sensational. The performance Cate Blanchett gives is outstanding, and the film tells the story of a brave journalist very well. I also thought it covered a lot of interesting issues and I would strongly recommend it.

Scared Straight! 10 reviews Peter Falk
New Video Group, 2003
a classic
+ Scared Straight + Attention getter.
I didn't see this the first time it was aired on TV in 1978, but I do remember seeing a preview and pictures from it. Even so, it had a lasting impression on me. I always remembered seeing a light-complexioned African-American man with the mostashe who had one eye (Ali). I remember seeing the ...

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.: A Historical Perspective 3 reviews Arthur Burghardt, Martin Luther King
Xenon, 2003
Another testament to Dr. King's legacy of greatness
I first saw this documentary air on television. I knew then how important it was that I add it to my vast CD and DVD collection. The film itself is a brief but, informative look into a movement that was led by one of the greatest figures of our time. Just when I thought I knew everything there was ...

Lost and Found: Dogs, Cats, and Everyday Heroes at a Country Animal Shelter 41 reviews Elizabeth Hess
Harvest Books, 2000
A very realistic view of an animal shelter
+ Riveting; Highly Recommended + Insightful and thought provoking
I've volunteered at the animal shelter in my town for a few years now, but have never had quite as much insight as this book provided. I get the feeling the shelter in the book has a smaller volunteer base than the shelter I have dealt with based on the details they were willing to share with her. ...

This a "must-have" for anyone with kids, anyone with parents, or teachers or anyone just wanting to feel good about people again. No saccharine sentiments, just an honest and genuine view of a real family going through all the tribulations and joys of "family".
