1.Three Sovereigns for Sarah - A True Story Of The Salem Witch Trials starring: Vanessa Redgrave, Kim Hunter, Will Lyman, Buffy Baldauf, Les Barden directed by: Philip Leacock February 15, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $7.85
"Three Sovereigns for Sarah" [1985] was part of the American Playhouse series, an anthology television series periodically broadcast by PBS. I have watched most dramatizations of the Salem Witch Trials, be it the History channel's docudrama about the Salem Witch Trials, The Crucible [based on Arthur Miller's work], and more recently Salem Witch Trials [2003 CBS mini-series]. Three Sovereigns for Sarah stands as a gripping reenactment of the tragic events that unfolded in Salem village in 1692 and tells the compelling story of the victims, focusing on three sisters accused of witchcraft. The main star of this production is Vanessa Redgrave who plays Sarah Cloyce, one of the three accused sisters during the Salem Witch Trials. It's been 10 years since the tragic events of 1692 in ...

4.A Perfect Murder starring: Michael Douglas, Gwyneth Paltrow, Viggo Mortensen, David Suchet, Sarita Choudhury directed by: Andrew Davis January 16, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
As far as thrillers go, this is my favorite kind. I loved the story of an unhappy wife having an affair and the husband who decides to pay her lover off by having him kill her so he can collect all the money she's worth which is a lot. There are many twists and turns and things don't quite go as expected which just makes it all the more interesting and exciting. Michael Douglas and Gwyneth Paltrow are both actors I truly enjoy so they make the film all the better. And Gwyneth looks as beautiful as ever here. I have not seen Hitchcock's Dial M For Murder, but I read the producers felt like there were many areas to explore with this type of story that wasn't explored in Dial M. I also love how the Emily character was portrayed as a strong, smart woman who longs for happiness but unfortunately is not as ... Read More

5.NOVA - The Vikings starring: Neil Ross, Liev Schreiber, Gene Galusha, Will Lyman, David Ogden Stiers October 13, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.88
OK, so this documentary isn't perfect, and doesn't cover everything about the vikings - you'll have to read some books for that, you cannot cram it all into a few hours. But this documentary is truly excellent. They have much footage of people re-enacting viking times, not just battles as most documentaries focus on, but everyday life, working in the farm, chopping wood, building ships, something to look at as the narrator describes the various topics. Much footage of ships recreated and sailing around (fast, too). Many experts in different fields, not just a single narrator yabbering on for a couple of hours (like some documentaries) ... different locations, and computer enhanced recreations of villages. I do not hesitate to say that it is an absolute MUST HAVE ... Read More

6.Wings Over the Gulf (3pc) starring: Will Lyman directed by: Kurt Sayenga March 17, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.99
First in a three part series about the air war during the Gulf War (1991), this part deals with the initial phase of the operation in which Iraq's military infrastructure was significantly degraded. According to the video's packaging, this part focuses on the F-15 and F-117, when in fact aside from these two there is also some discussion about the much-better-than-anticipated performance of the F-111. Overall, a concise and informative video.

I enjoyed using this video with my 8th grade students. It was very informative on many aspects of the building of the transcontinental railroad. It showed the dangers faced by these hard-working men as they struggled to link the eastern and western parts of the US. Great images and great information! Thanks History Channel!

There are a number of factual errors in the presentation, and a substantial amount of political posing. Having been born on the Canal Zone and actively studied the subject over the years this is not the video to spend your money on.......
