Rural Sociology Movie Reviews

Mandy Moore is a performer who makes people happy and feel better about themselves. This DVD reveals why. Without question she is bursting with musical, singing and acting talent. But underpinning these qualities is a rare human condition - a positive outlook. Mandy likes herself, her work, her future, her family, her co-workers, her friends, her audiences, and life in general. I doubt she speaks badly of anyone or anything. You can see this attitude in her live performances, interactions with co-workers and audiences, and music videos. They are uplifting. There is a long documentary, narrated by Mandy, that shows how she got into show business and how she made her music videos. Its fun to see such wisdom, focus, and spirit in a young person. I especially enjoy the section of the DVD where her first four music videos are shown in sequence so that you can see how she progressed from gyrating young teen to suave mid-teen crooner of love songs. These videos are very well made and clearly a cut above most. They are fantacy skits that make good combined use of her singing and acting talents. I like the fact that they never employ the common crutches of anger, ugly faces, profanity, nudity, or overt sexual innuendo. Mandy is a performer that kids to oldsters can enjoy. And all this before she even began to star in films.

I have finally picked up The real story the mandy moore dvd hearing all the great reviews i wanted to get it.Yes it is a great dvd.Only negative thing is the quality is bit poor on some things.Otherwise it is great. First it shows mandy as a child performing and recording her albums and making her videos.It comes with 4 videos CANDY WALK ME HOME I WANNA BE WITH YOU and unrealeased in the us SO REAL, and with speical features you will get mandy talking about the videos and photo gallery bio and trivia game( get it all right you will see a special performance of candy) but it is very hard even for the ultimate mandy fan.It has tons of live footage from childhood the early stages of her career and recently.This came out a while ago so alot has happend a new cd a movie.

The History Channel will always be praised for it's outstanding and reavealing subjects no matter what the topic. They have brought us the definitive documentary on Las Vegas that will probably never be outdone.

Whether it is the Neon Oasis, The City of Sin, The City That Never Sleeps or whatever name has been attributed to it, Las Vegas is truly a magical and wondrous place that has grabbed the imagination and carefree attitudes of millions of people.

This DVD leaves almost nothing to the imagination and all the stops have been pulled out to give you the complete history of how it all came to be. You are treated with historical facts of how Indians first came to the Nevada ranges and tamed the land following with the Mormons who migrated in and set about to establish the early years in the area.

Without missing a beat, we then find out how the Mafia moved in and started to build casino's and created a dynasty to last for many years to come. As time goes on, you will be treated to interviews with many big name entertainers and entepreneurs who have shaped the city into what it is today. These would include but not limited to, Howard Hughes, Steve Wynn, Wayne Newton, Debbie Reynolds, Alan King and a host of others.

You will get to visit all the mega-resorts with all their glamour and hype and majesty and be amazed at just how much there really is to see and experience in this city without limits. This is a very satisfying 2 disc DVD documentary at an excellent price and is most likely the best look at Las Vegas you will ever see. Highly recommended to all.

Anyone who loves Las Vegas would love this collection. It is a well produced, entertaining and complete history of VEGAS! Once you finish watching this you want to catch the next plane to Nevada!

This is the best documentary on Las Vegas I've ever seen! Incredible interviews mixed with wonderful footage of Las VEgas new and old. It's worth it just for Debbie Reynold's comment that "No one got killed in Las Vegas who didn't deserve it."
Highly recommended!!

See Bruce Lee in one of the world's most famous martial arts movies. Starring with Bruce is Dragon Lee from Korea. This very convincing look-a-like will have you on the edge of your seats. This movie was made in 1973 and is 118 minutes long.

THE REAL BRUCE LEE was the first movie to use Bruce Lee imatators but it also featured clips from 4 of Bruce Lee's childhood movies.THE REAL BRUCE LEE stars Bruce Lee, Bruce Li and Dragon Lee, Produced by Serafim Karalexis (what?)and Dick Randall (I won't bother making fun of him) written by Lerry (or Larry) Dolchin, Directed and edited by Jim Marcovic.The first 25 minutes or so features the black and white Bruce Lee clips then about ten minutes of Bruce Li beating some guys up and then a whole different movie called "The Ultimate Lee" starring Dragon Lee which is very confusing as far as the story goes but has loads of great action!Straight after Bruce Lee's death THE REAL BRUCE LEE was rushed into theaters and was a monumental success but only released in the USA. Perhaps the only down side is the movie's awful sound quality.The film hits you as a typical 1970's kung fu movie with it's colorful opening credits but it isn't, its better!The whole movie totals about 2 hours closing with THE END being spelt wrong.SO THE REAL BRUCE LEE is a long ecxiting movie and great value for money.Now you can own it on DVD.

Very good factual study inside the minds of the most prolific Serial Killers. Deliciously Disturbing. Truth is always stranger than fiction.

Don't plan on eating meat or sleeping for a while.

I owned the VHS of REAL LIFE HANNIBAL LECTERS for a while and was thrilled to see that it'd been upgraded to DVD format. For anyone interested in learning more about the criminal cannibals in the world, and the twilight zones in which they reside, this documentary is a MUST-have. Features the infamous Jeffrey Dahmer and Albert Fish cases, among several other "well-knowns". Discussed is the serial killer mentality in general, as well as possible explanations as to why some people choose to cannibalize in such a brutal fashion. For instance, Dahmer ate pieces of his victims so he could feel closer to them. Other career cannibals engage in anthropopaghy (technical word for humans consuming humans) in order to completely CONQUER the victims (as was the situation with the Russian cannibal killer Andrei Chikatilo). Very well produced, I think, with some cool haunting music and a variety of eerie quotes (some anonymous, which makes it even creepier..."IF YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT, I COULD BE YOU TOMORROW" is a chilling example!). Be warned, however, this one is NOT for the faint of heart. Afterall, this does indeed go into details of these human-flesh consumers...Do you REALLY know your neighbors?

I had the pleasure of viewing this feature at my university and talk with the director after. This movie to put it simply is amazing. Anne B Real captures the true story of a young girl with dreams beyond any of her friends and families comprehension. Half black and half latino, no believes she has a chance to make anything out of herself in the world. Death helps her find her way and helps Anne break out of the little box she was trapped in since her fathers death.

This movie is a must see for anyone who liked 8 mile. This would be a bigger hit, if 8 mile wouldn't have came out at the same time. Unlike 8 mile it doesn't sugar coat the way life is on the street, and doesn't rely on big names stars to help promote the film. There are a few known actors in the movie but for half of the actors, this is their first time in front of the camera.

The director is amazing in her camera work and her story line. She struggled hard to make sure there wasn't a single swear word in the entire movie, a feat never heard of these days. I look forward to seeing more of her films in the future and wish her luck on all her ventures.

This DVD was the best I could have bought. "Pearl Harbor the REAL STORY" tells it like it is. A very accurate account of what happened in Pearl Harbor. The interviews with the veterans are real with real tears. Scott Freund and Tim Csabanyi? These amatures made a top notch documentary Spielberg would have had trouble making. EXCELLENT!

This is the standard fare of Mardi Gras where hundreds of girls pull up their tops to get cheap beads, and some of them pull down their bottoms for beads. Similar to the "Girls Gone Wild" films of Mardi Gras, but since this is shot on digital....picture is perfectly clear....and perfectly clear for pause and frame-by-frame. Most of the girls are about age 18 to 29, and most have natural breasts (many are college age)...Most of these girls are constantly flashing many guys to get lots of beads, so no bra under their shirt....a bra causes extra bouncing when pulled up. Some of the guys grab at their breasts or suck, but mostly this is just to watch and film girls getting naked for cheap beads. Well worth the money. It will go on my "favorites pile" to watch again and again. I recommend it, even if you are just a guy that is thinking about going to Mardi Gras (in New Orleans), or a guy that is wondering what goes on at Mardi Gras.

A group of prettty college girls dance naked on a stage during Spring Break. From the t-shirts, I think the stage is Rumrunners in Key West, Florida. The girls mostly dance one-at-a time, strip naked on stage....t-shirt, then some take off everything. The girls are competing against each other to win, so they are trying to out-do each other, with plenty of youthful enthusiasm. The camera concentrates on the best looking contestants, so sometimes it's hard to believe that beautiful college girls would get completely naked on stage and dance around and jump-up-and-down, bouncing all over the place, just to win a contest at a bar at Spring Break. But that is what it appears to be. The girls do not appear to be professional go-go girls or strippers, they are just beautiful college girls (many are as pretty as cheerleaders) dancing on the stage naked....trying to win. I like this film, and I will watch for sequels to buy (Spring Break 2, etc.). Film is similar to the "Girls Gone Wild" films, except it is done by a different company....non-stop action of naked girls, no filler. Shot on digital, so picture is perfectly clear, and pause and frame-by-frame are perfectly clear. I will watch this again and again.

This was one of the most endearing series ever to hit T.V. My wife who had never seen the show fell instantly in love. We both can't wait until more episodes are released. We have all that are currently available. Start churning them out. Great family entertainment and excellent for building values.

This movie is a little known treasure. I can remember watching it several times growing up, but nobody else I know has ever seen it. Real Men has been very difficult to find, and it has never been released on a DVD format until know. I strongly suggest you buy this movie (especially at this price!). It has a high replay value (almost like BLues Brothers) and it will keep you entertained for years to come.

Real Men ranks as one of the most underappreciated comedies of all time. It's easy to turn up your nose at the, campy, over-the-top action and dialogue. But, unlike most films that start with a preposterous premise and follow it to a logical conclusion, Real Men sustains its humor and pace from start to finish.

Jim Belushi (the tough, callous super agent) and John Ritter (a regular family man who's "average, maybe a little less") are perfect foils even as they slowly exchange personas: Belushi finding his more sensitive side while Ritter becomes a more assertive, resourceful, take charge 'kinda guy.

Real Men shares much in common with another of the funniest films ever made: The In-Laws. It's virtually the same premise: a buddy film about a regular guy dragged kicking and screaming into the covert, wacky world of espionage.

Both films hilariously turn the ridiculous into the sublime as the viewer first sees the story from the viewpoint of the "regular joe" whose life is turned upside down while he tries to remain calm. Gradually though, you come to accept the sincereity of Belushi's character (Nick Pirandello) and suspend disbelief at the preposterous situations because they're set up so well (like Soviet agents quitting in the middle of a gunfight because they're going to lunch - no incentives like we have in the free world.)

Well written with a great, bouncy score that compliments the film perfectly.

Finally starting to be taken seriously after some second looks and a new and growing appreciative audience.

The story opens with Stone Wall holding a glass of water and walking in the woods. He is shot and the whole world is in danger because of it. Bob Wilson (John Ritter) is a dead ringer for the only person that can save the world by negotiating with aliens. Who will recruit and train him? Yep Nick ParanDello (James Belushi.) Will they be able to take on the CIA, KGB, and a bunch of other clowns? And if so will the mission be accomplished? And if he lives, what effect will this experience have on Bob Wilson's personality?
I am not about to tell all the details, as that is the movie, however Dyanne Thorne plays "Dad.' Now where have we seen her before?
