1.Tae-Bo Workout (4 Pack: Basic, Instructional, Advanced, 8-minute Workout) starring: Billy Blanks October 12, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $8.90
I have really enjoyed this video. A team of us at work are doing the 8 minute workout during our safety meeting and then at lunch. I have mastered the 8 minute workout and will proceed at home doing the Basic. At work we will continue to do the 8 minute workout until the group is ready to move forward at lunch to the Basic. I would and have recommended this video to friends of mine. I have being doing the 8 minute workout for 5 weeks now and I can feel and see the results. TAEBO REALLY WORKS!!!!

2.A Town Like Alice starring: Helen Morse, Bryan Brown, Gordon Jackson, Dorothy Alison, Yuki Shimoda directed by: David Stevens July 30, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $6.20
I loved this series, when I first watched in on television back in the '80s. Every couple of years I pull the tape off the shelf and re-watch it. This is not just for Bryan Brown fans, but for the Gordon Jackson fans in the crowd. Jackson's portrayal of a man who falls in love too late in life, is very touching. I would love to see it available on DVD!

3.The Century-America's Time (Boxed Set) starring: Linda Hunt, Peter Jennings, John Aaron, Harold Agnew, Steve Allen March 23, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $39.91
As for the person who complained that Martin Scorcese called the '80's the "me" decade, that was a popular theme of the time. Maybe you should go back and look at 80's and the literature about it from all kind of sources. Just like the 20's was often refered to as the "Roaring" 20's. 80's was often called the "me" decade. I also think it is not a liberal or conservative designation. Following the internalization of values and desires in the 70's, the 80's was when technology, growth, income and development all led to the application of the 70's trend of an individual ethic. People DID become more selfish and self centered, more complacent, in need of more instant gratification.

4.The Thorn Birds - The Complete Miniseries starring: Richard Chamberlain, Rachel Ward, Barbara Stanwyck, Christopher Plummer, Jean Simmons directed by: Daryl Duke September 26, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $8.80
Although most agree that this was a gripping storyline and a classic miniseries, there were some people that criticized Rachel Ward. I would like to point out the following: 1) She was extraordinarily beautiful, hard to look away from when she was on-screen. It was plausible that a priest or any other man would be drawn to her. I can't imagine a better-cast Meggie than Rachel Ward. 2) Ward did a remarkable job of portraying convincing love scenes with a gay actor (Richard Chamberlain). I do not know if the cast was aware of his proclivity. If nothing else, Ward's gaydar may have signaled her to the truth of Chamberlain's orientation. Both actors deserve credit for pulling this off. 3) The reality on the set was that Ward had found her "masculine counterpart" ... Read More

5.AM/PM Yoga for Beginners starring: Rodney Yee, Patricia Walden, Rodney Yee directed by: Ted Landon (II) June 13, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.00
This video is appropriate for people who have no interest in a yoga workout whatsoever. It is slow, ineffective, and short. More time is spent reading the warnings than doing any real yoga. The am portion is so slow it will put you right back to sleep. Save your money! Buy a real yoga video!

6.Son of The Morning Star starring: Gary Cole, Rosanna Arquette, Stanley Anderson, Edward Blatchford, George Dickerson directed by: Mike Robe January 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $11.95
The Battle of the Greasy Grass was outstanding... It was propably the closest thing to the real thing... maybe good ole Oliver Stone can do better one day... I now have a copy on DVD.....

7.The Adventures of Indiana Jones (3 Tapes) from: Paramount October 26, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $7.58
I'll try to make this short, as this site doesn't allow more than 300 words on the reviews. INDIANA JONES AND THE RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK This film is the classic and quintessential "Indiana Jones" film. Great storyline, top-notch acting, rousing music (especially the famous "Raiders March"), hair-raising action sequences and superb directing. Rated PG for action violence and mild language. INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM The second (though chronologically the first) movie in the series is the darkest in the franchise. Good storyline, excellent acting, rousing music terrific drecting and some ideas originally conceived for "Raiders." Interesting sidenote: Kate Capshaw and Steven Spielberg married soon after this movie wrapped. Rated PG for some intense ... Read More

8.No Time for Sergeants starring: Andy Griffith, Nick Adams, Don Knotts, Murray Hamilton, Howard Smith directed by: Mervyn LeRoy July 22, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $13.80
It arrived in a reasonable amount of time. The condition was ok, not great but ok. It did appear as if it came from a video rental company which was a bit troubling. All in all it was an ok experience although I think for the condition a bit overpriced.

9.Pride & Prejudice (1995) (6pc) (Coll Box) starring: Saw December 23, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $5.19
This is by far the best version of "Pride and Prejudice". I believe I have seen every one of them and none compares. Laurence Olivier was great of course as Darcy, but Colin Firth has completely captured the character. I doubt that any one will ever be able to portray Darcy better. I am extremely satified that I purchased the 10th Anniversary Collector's Edition even though I all ready had the original DVD of the same produecton. It is definitely well worth the price. I strongly recommend it to every one. The DVDs come in a beautifully designed case, and I thoroughly enjoyed the accompanying behind-the-scenes disc. Even though Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle were busy making other movies and could not be on it, the remaining cast members were very entertaining. The accompanying book, "The Making of Pride and ...

10.King of Hearts starring: Jacques Balutin, Alan Bates, Jackie Blanchot, Robert Blome, Pierre Brasseur October 03, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.68
"October 1918" is the date for this story. German soldiers are planting explosives to destroy the advancing British soldiers when they occupy a French city. The townspeople hurriedly evacuate the town. The British are warned, they will not march into town. Instead Private Plumpick [some pun?] will be sent in to scout the town and defuse the bombs - by himself! [Believable?] Discovered by the Germans, he flees into a building for refuge and safety; it is the local insane asylum. The result of the German withdrawal is the inmates can wander freely into the deserted town and select new clothes from the abandoned homes. [This slow-paced action doesn't seem too funny to me.] Comedy is in part cultural, and attitudes change. Perhaps the humor is in suggesting the clothes make the man or woman? Or what looks like normal people are ... Read More
