DVD title: Office Space (Full Screen Edition)
Excellent movie!
Anyone who has ever worked in a corporate setting can relate to this movie. It gives a funny glimpse into what REALLY goes on in an office..from the point of view of the "worker bees" (aka peons). This is one of my favorite movies!

DVD title: Cleo From 5 to 7 - Criterion Collection
The story of a concentrated mind.
Cleo, a singer, played by Corinne Marchand, has stomach pains and is awaiting the results of hospital tests for which she has a seven o'clock appointment. When, at five o'clock she is told by a fortune-teller that she has only a short time left to live, it seems like a confirmation of her worst fears; that she must have cancer. Fully convinced she has received a death sentence, she spends the next two hours in a cloud of fear and depression. But, as Dostoevsky said when he too faced a death sentence; the imminence of death concentrates the mind wonderfully.
A quite amazing amount of incident is packed into the next two hours. We stay with her through every minute in real time as, with a heightened sense of awareness, she visits friends, walks and drives around the bustling streets of Paris, and sits in some of the famous left-bank cafes listening to fragments of conversation about painting, politics and philosophy to which at any other time she would have paid no attention. Everything reminds her of the short time she may have left to live. And to add to her woes she has an uncaring lover she can't confide in. "I listen to his troubles." she says, "but he won't listen to mine. If I died tomorrow he'd be surprised but he wouldn't care. He's an egotist."
The way she discards her ridiculous wig and changes into an elegant black dress before walking out for the first time alone, is intended to convey a change of attitude and persona brought on by her fear that death is near. Up to that point she had been just another frivolous pop-star without a serious thought in her head and under the dominion of her minder/manager. Now she is transformed into a confident, independent woman able to see the world through her own eyes.
While walking in the park with only twenty minutes to go, she gets into conversation with Antoine, a soldier on leave, played by Antoine Bourseiller. He is funny, sensitive and articulate and they quickly build up a rapport. He is a great comfort to her. When she unburdens herself to him, he says that as they are both going in the same direction he will go with her to the hospital.
The film is extremely realistic. I'm sure no extras were employed. All the conversations she overhears in the crowded cafes were, I think, real conversations between real people, unaware that they were being filmed. The same seems true of the outdoor scenes, though I must say I was made to wonder about the extraordinarily handsome bus conductor - possibly the only unrealistic touch in the whole film.

DVD title: Saving Private Ryan
The King War Movie of all time.
This movie is indeed the BOMB. Never has a movie captured so much realness. I seen about two or three minutes at work, of the beginning of the fighting when the U.S Soldiers was approaching the beach, it looked like it was really going down just like that. it convinced me enough to run out and get it right away.
Tom Hanks what can I say about the man, Nothing because his actions is much louder then my words. I have spend sometime in the U.S Army my self, it was peace time(Thank God) But this movie made me sad, then happy to know that all the soldiers of the United States Of America Fraught, Lived and Died so we might be FREE... Thank you Steven Spielbreg.

DVD title: Sesame Street - Learning About Letters
a great ABC video for little ones
My almost 3yr old son LOVES, LOVES, LOVES this video. He wants to watch it everyday. My son began watching this just a few months ago and knew "ABCD"...thats pretty much it. He now has learned the entire alphabet almost to perfection and I honestly feel it is because of this video. It's only 30 minutes long, but again, it teaches so much in so little time. I definately recommend this one if you are trying to teach the ABC's.

DVD title: Sonic the Hedgehog - Super Sonic
Juice Time!
Back in 1993, i read the Comic books by Archie Comics and was blown away and became one of my favorite comic Books of all time.then when i saw the Saturday Morning Animated Series, i was also blown away. It suddenly became a Cult animated show filled withlots of action yet it had brains too, it features such unfogettable characters like The evil Doctor Robotnik, The Cute and adorable Tails, The brave Sonic and the Beautiful Princess Sally Acorn. I am gonna own the DVD when it comes out and will add it to my Collection.

DVD title: Windwalker (Special Edition)
The Revenge of Windwalker
Windwalker is a tale of retribution. Windwalker is a Cheyenne Indian who searches most of his life for his kidnapped son. There are other things that Windwalker should be pissed off about, such as the death of his wife or the bear attacking his infant son. These however, take a back seat to finding his son. When the movie first starts, Windwalker is a senior citizen. Having unfulfilled his quest(s), he has given up hope and dies peacefully. However, the spirit world gives him a new lease on life, although still in senior citizen mode, to battle all of the aforementioned injustices. While Windwalker is being revived, the same people (the Crow Indians) who kidnapped his son and murdered his wife, and the bear who took a slash at his infant son, are lurking nearby. With a little help, Windwalker is able to right all of the wrongs.
The best part of the movie is when Windwalker single-handedly kills the bear, with nothing more than a flimsy spear. Next thing you know, Windwalker is strutting through the forest with full bear attire draped over his shoulder, complete with head and paws. Furthermore, he `finds' a white stallion for transportation. Windwalker looks like a pimp.
Anyways, this movie is recommended for all. The story is heartwarming and the scenery is amazing. I saw this movie when I was ~8, so I didn't remember much. Some scenes, such as the little girl feeding the captured Crow warrior, and definitely the ending, I still recognized after all these years.

DVD title: The Sixth Sense (Collector's Edition Series)
What you talkin' about, Willis?
I'll tell ya what he's talkin' about - modern day movie magic, Baby!
What can I say about The Sixth Sense that hasn't already been said??? This movie is great on so many levels. The story itself is smart and keeps you guessing the whole time. As for the acting in it - let's hear it for Bruce Willis and Haley Joel Osment! They both give very impressive performances in this.
Great movie. If you've never seen it, you're really missing out.
DVD title: South Park - The Complete Sixth Season
Here ends the BEST of South Park, DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY WITH THE SEASONS AHEAD!!!!!!!!!!
This is the last season of South Park that I will buy! I don't want to spend 40 dollars with the future seasons (7,8,9...).
Season 6 is full of GREAT episodes like the Rossell Crowe episode, the Simpsons episode and Lemiwinks episode. Another popular episodes are Lord of the Rings, The Marihuana, Profesor Chaos and The Rapist Priests. The Season is full of good jokes, memorable moment with the boys and the MOST IMPORTANT THING is that Butters and Tweek are the new STARS of the show.
Important Fact:
Season 7 is maybe is worth buying it because it was SOOO hilarous, but there isn't any CLASSIC episode. I think is better to record some of the episodes on VHS or buy a DVD with some of the great episodes instead of buying the ENTIRE season.
Season 8: The ONLY good episodes were the Anime and Paris Hilton episodes, the rest was SOOO weak, predictable and slow. There wasn't any HILAROUS episode (No joke after joke episodes) and no memorable moments with the boys, except for Passion of the Jew witch was good but only because Mel Gibson is CRAZY.
Season 9: WEAK until now!! If Keanu Reeves is everybody's savior then he should make the creators of South Park to go on with better ideas for the next episodes.
P.S: Don't get me wrong! Everything in South Park is funny but they could come up with some REALLY good episodes.
Adios.
DVD title: Signing Time! Volume 2: Playtime Signs
Signing Time is Time WELL SPENT!!!!!
My son, who is hearing, started watching this particular video at 5 months and loved it. The music and graphics are super and the characters are easy to fall in love with. We feel like they are members of our own family! The content and lessons of Playtime signs are so very positive and taught my son to understand and sign, thank you and please by 9 months! Other concepts that are taught are friend, play and sorry. This also helped him to understand empathy, which is very important! Well worth the purchase!!!
