2.Parallel Sons starring: Gabriel Mann, Laurence Mason, Murphy Guyer, Graham Alex Johnson, Heather Gottlieb directed by: John G. Young May 16, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.54
Seth Carlson (Gabriel Mann) is a young man of about 20. He lives in a small American town with his gun-toting father and young sister. (His mother died several years earlier). He is alienated from his father and from many of the people in town. From the outside, he appears sullen, a bit withdrawn, pensive. But on the inside, he is very much alive, dealing with both confusing feelings about his sexuality and a growing interest in pursuing a life of art, (he dreams of going to art school in NYC). Throw in a penchant for African-American culture and a love of hip-hop/rap music, and the possibility of his being gay, and you have a young man who is in a very real way an outsider in his own town, and easily misunderstood (the local townsfolk don't seem to have changed much since the '60's, ...

3.Horatio's Drive: America's First Road Trip (Dol) starring: Keith David, Tom Hanks, Adam Arkin, Tom Bodett, Philip Bosco directed by: Ken Burns September 30, 2003
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.40
I can't say enough about this movie. It's a true story. It was made by the Legendary Ken Burns. It was tremendously inspiring. I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!! Horatio was a bit of an aristocrat, and based soley on a fifty dollar bet, he decides to drive across the United States from San Francisco to New York. Not much of an accomplishment today, but in Horatio's day there were no roads. Oh did I mention that Horatio was attempting to be the first person to cross the United States in a Car. With no experience, No roads, and a whole lot of optimisim; Horatio hires a driver, buys a car, and the two of them take a journey that I believe is as epic as that of Lewis and Clark. I think that anybody that enjoy's offroading would absolutely love this movie. If you are a fan of History, you'll love this ... Read More

4.The Devil's Advocate starring: Keanu Reeves, Al Pacino, Charlize Theron, Jeffrey Jones, Judith Ivey directed by: Taylor Hackford
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price:
Did anyone notice that the Satan's name in this entertaining-but-flawed flick is Milton, and that the marble reliefs which come to tantalizing life on Al Pacino's wall also allude to the great English poet's masterpiece? I feel that "Devil's Advocate" has some good material, including touches of humor, some stunning cinematographic effects, and the performances by Ms. Theron and Al Pacino, who chews the scenery with such devilish panache that he dominates Keanu Reeves (but perhaps that is the point). And while the film, which combines legal ethics (or the lack of them) with the "Rosemary's Baby" genre, held my interest from start to finish, it did not quite come together--whether because of choppy editing or the "Dallas" option that precedes the ending, I am not certain. I did find the actual ... Read More

This needs to be a thousand stars! Jack Johnson was an individual and a true American hero. He didn't care what whites or blacks thought about what he should do. James Earl Jones said it best, "he was a person that was self defined. He didn't let no one define him." Therefore he was a man and that's all everyone desires anyway. MLK later said in his dream speech "that he wanted blacks to be defined by the content of their character." But there are lessons to be learned. He didn't let not one tell him what he could or couldn't do. Most people back then would say" okay I am black therefore I will never have a shot at the title. But Jack followed Tommy Burns all around the world for a chance at his dream and he conquered it! He did the immposible the unthinkable. First of all I am shocked that ... Read More
