Leslie Sansone - Walk Away the Lbs Express 3-Pack
Released in DVD by Good Times Home Vide (02 September, 2003)
MPAA Rating: NR (Not Rated)
Starring: Leslie Sansone
Average review score:

I Highly Recommend This Set for Those Who
I bought this set because I already had Leslie's Walk Away The Pounds set and wanted to do something different. This comes with the 1 mile, 2 mile (combined in one dvd), 3 mile DVD and a purple stretchie band.

Leslie does the same moves as she does in the Walk Away the Pounds set but uses the stretchie band instead of water weights. I have done all 3 of the workouts and I always feel energized after doing them. The only negative I can come up with is that Leslie simply talks too much. After learning the routine, I always mute the sound and play my own music because I get annoyed by the contant chatter.

I will admit that Leslie seems like a very nice and genuine person and I don't mind her letting you know what steps you are getting ready to do, but the constant banter about how great the "workout buddies" are etc. I get bored with after the first 2 times of doing the workout.

I used Leslie's workout tapes when I was 50 pounds heavier and I hadn't exercised in ages. Her tapes along with healthy eating habits helped me suceed in losing the weight. If Leslie comes out with more sets, and I'm sure she will, I will definately buy them!!!!

My daughter continues to be enchanted, it's been 4 years now since we started watching these episodes....bring on all the shows on a complete set. Highly reccomended...lose the ritalin, bring on Little Bear.


Little House on the Prairie - Journey in the Spring (TV Special)
Released in DVD by Goldhil Home Media I (08 July, 2003)
MPAA Rating: NR (Not Rated)
Directors: Lewis Allen, Leo Penn, William F. Claxton, Alf Kjellin, Victor Lobl, Victor French, Michael Landon, Joseph Pevney, Maury Dexter, and Michael Ray Rhodes
Average review score:

wonderful
This is, as always, a great addition to the "Little House" series and consistently delivers that same inspiring message of family, faith, and love. The basic storyline follows Charles Ingalls' struggle to cope with his mother's death and, even more so, the emotional decline in his father. Charles finally manages to bring him home to the family, hoping it will help. Indeed, spending time with everyone--especially little Laura--works wonders in rebuilding the man's spirit until Laura gets into an accident with her horse and blames her grandfather for it. Feeling guilty and disgusted with himself, Grandpa takes off without telling anyone, but in the end it is Laura who accepts her own mistake and takes up the struggle to bring him back.

Some fans may be disappointed with the way the episode ends, but it is still a wonderful story that makes you feel good and is worth the money.

The best pilot of all
Little house on the prairie is the greatest show ever.
The pilot was not aired here in France. I know folks who had bought the VHS so I could see it. But I ordered the DVD anyway.
The quality is great, the pictures are wonderful, much more than the VHS. It is so great to hear the original voices! And funny to hear the Osage chef speaking french with such an accent! :-))
Anyway, the DVD is worth the buy, you won't be disappointed and although it is encoded region 1 ONLY, you can perfectly see it with ALL DVD player as it's written behind "zones (1-6)".
I absolutely recommend this article for all the fans and the others. It's the beginning of all, you discover the characters, you love them!
Everybody acts so well they don't look like acting. It seems that you are looking your dreamed-neighbours by the window!!
Well, buy it, even in other countries than USA, because it's not very expensive regarding its value.

Sentimental Favorites
This review refers to the Goodtimes 2pack DVD edition of "Little House on the Prairie: The Premiere Movie/Remember Me"......

Fans of Little House will love these two sentimental favorite episodes that Goodtimes has put together in one great package.They are both wonderful examples of why this wholesome and inspiring series touched us 30 years ago and still touch us today.

"The Premiiere Movie" was the made for TV pilot, that introduced us to the Ingalls family and their quest to make a better life for themselves.The harrowing adventures, the love and joy, the tears and laughter as they journey from the 'Big Woods' of Wisconsin searching for a place to call home, will have you all choked up one minute and grinning ear to ear the next.You'll also meet Jack the dog, and Mr. Edwards for the first time and even they will have you laughing and crying. This one is feature length and runs 1hour 38 min(and you wont have to sit through any commercials).

The next is the very emotional "Remember Me". Oscar winner Patricia Neal("Hud") guest stars in this double length episode as a widow who learns she is terminally ill. She has three young children and turns to Charles to help her find a home for them.Charles promises to keep the children together, but fulfilling the promise proves difficult.The answer is out there..can Charles find it? This is one of the most touching episodes of all, so have the Kleenex handy for this one.It runs about an hour and a half.

The cast includes Michael Landon(Pa),Karen Grassle(Ma),Melissa Gilbert(Laura), Melissa Sue Anderson(Mary),Bonnie Bartlett(the widow Snyder) and the wonderful Victor French as Mr. Edwards.The series is based on the "Little House" books by Laura Ingalls Wilder and are a great way to spend family time together. Although these vintage episodes are nearly 30 years old, they stand the test of time and will always remain a great part of TV history.

The DVD transfers of this classic series by Goodtimes is very good. Some occasional flickering, but overall a nice clear view with good color and sound.These two episodes are also sold individually or you can purchase "The Premiere Movie" in a four pack which also includes "The Lord is My Shepherd",a double length episode guest starring Ernest Borgnine,"The Collection", guest starring Johnny and June Cash, and "Laura Ingalls Wilder", also a double length. If you are a really big fan or know someone who is, you can even purchase entire seasons(1,2 and 3) just released to DVD(not Goodtimes, but also very nice transfers). Season 1 does not include the pilot episode, so you would still have to purchase that one separately.

Share these wonderfully touching and inspiring clasics with a new generation!....enjoy...Laurie


The Little Mermaid (Not Disney)
Released in DVD by Good Times Home Vide (06 August, 2002)
MPAA Rating: G (General Audience)
Average review score:

A short movie filled with magic
I have loved this movie since I first got it back in 1993. Since then, never have I gotten tired of seing it. Everytime I watch it, I feel like if it was the first time. This film tells the story of Lena, a mermaid princess who falls in love with a human prince. Cassandra, the sea witch, will help Lena get what she wants, legs, but she wants her voice in return. I don't want to spoil the end for you, but I tell you that even though it is happy, it is at the same time sad. I hope you find time to watch this beautiful animated film about Hans Christian Andersen's timeless tale, which also features great music and songs like "The World Above".


The Lonely Man
Released in DVD by Paramount Home Video (22 April, 2003)
MPAA Rating: NR (Not Rated)
Director: Henry Levin
Starring: Jack Palance and Anthony Perkins
Apart from the inherent clarity and richness of its black-and-white VistaVision--a wonderful format--The Lonely Man could be mistaken for a mediocre "adult Western" episode from '50s TV. The sets look like sets, not living spaces, and people trade ponderous, pause-laden dialogue instead of talking. Jack Palance plays an ex-gunslinger--a papier-mâché death's head--trying to reconnect with son Anthony Perkins, who's grown up (or not grown up) hating him. Meanwhile, gambler Neville Brand, once shot by Palance, waits for henchman Elisha Cook to pick up Palance's trail so other henchman Lee Van Cleef can kill him (got that?). The backstory is so weakly imagined, and the scenes so wanly directed, we have no idea how many years of history the characters have shared, or how many miles separate them as they move toward showdown. Elaine Aiken, a curiously hard-faced blonde "introduced" here, was scarcely seen on screen again. --Richard T. Jameson
Average review score:

Jack Palance at his best!
In this western, the only real format to aficianados, Jack Palance displays every ability expected of the finest actors. He is gracious, honest, even having been one of the bad guys. He is courageous to a fault, facing down a number of bad people at once at terrible odds. He even rates a traitors loyalty.

This movie is a must-see if you liked "SHANE", and are tired of "RIO BRAVO" reruns, but like the genre.

Someone in those days actually knew all the classic elements of a good story, and it's obvious when you see this flick. Todays special effects, with bullets whizzing by, would be the only possible improvement for this film. Don't miss it if you like westerns!!!


Love 101

MPAA Rating: R (Restricted)
Starring: Michael Muhney
Average review score:

Great work for a up and coming....
While Love 101 is clearly another college party comedy, it presents some rising stars who you don't want to miss!Writer/Director Adrian Fulle is one to keep you eyes on!


Love Thy Neighbor
Released in DVD by New Concorde Home En (09 September, 2003)
MPAA Rating: NR (Not Rated)
Starring: Jennifer Bransford
Average review score:

Twisted
The description on the jacket of the DVD notes, "A twisted comedy about relationships, deception, and consequences." Twisted is right! Nice appearance by Wallace Shawn (and of course Roy Scheider). The second run through is much better. The best part of it all is the soundtrack: Tracy Spuehlar, Maynard Brothers Band, Angel and Sloan Roberts.
