VHS : Uncle Tom's Cabin
This is a 90's film adaptation of Harriet Beecher Stowe's important novel by the same title. This story, and the message of the story, is of utmost significance. It is a tale in 1850's America of slave trading -- buying and selling people like they were property, and of cruel treatment that would be unacceptable for even zoo animals. Obviously, plantation life for the slaves could vary from reasonably comfortable to incredbly inhumane, depending mainly on the owner. The film story demonstrates this well.

There are glimpses of light: the strong Christian belief system and ethics among the slave population, and the good Samaritan acts and sacrifices of those who would aid them. But the general environment and theme is dark and the horror of the situation is self-evident.

VHS : Good Advice
I saw this on the TV awhile ago and liked it so well I bought the DVD.

This is not Shakespeare but....I found it quite entertaining and funny. Charlie Sheen does a nice job, as does Angie Harmon and the rest of the cast, which includes a nice comedic turn by Estelle Harris, aka George's mom.

Sheen plays a greed driven stock broker, who is a bit of a sexist pig as well. He then finds his inner feminine side, and finds love with Angie Harmon (aided greatly by Harris), as he takes over an advice column from his ex lover, played by Denise Richards. He is assisted by Jon Lovitz and Rosanna Arquette as his odd married friends. There is a Barry Newman siting as well as Sheen's bitter enemy.

No cool extra's on this DVD to speak of, just this nice romantic comedy.

I loved the first Bernies and it was hilarious. This one is not quite as good but still has lots of laughs as poor Bernie is dragged around.
