DVD Description

In one of the last films before his death in 1957, Humphrey Bogart plays washed-up film director Harry Dawes, who sees another chance at success when he meets Spanish dancer Maria Vargas (Ava Gardner) and recognizes her star potential. Harry's willingness to let Maria keep her independence, and his steadfast character, wins him her undying friendship; the two weather the Hollywood seas, made stormy by Maria's own tempestuous spirit and the greedy nature of the film business. Maria's final break from Hollywood throws her into the arms of a Prince Charming whose secrets lead her down a destructive path. Impatience with Hollywood is evident in every line of director-writer Joseph L. Mankiewicz's dialogue (as in the unforgettable ALL ABOUT EVE), but he carefully plants the seeds of Maria's decline in her character rather than simplistically painting her fate as a reaction to fame. Bogart, in an role atypical for him of platonic friend to his female costar, is the touchstone of the movie and its most sympathetic character, while Gardner's eyes snap with passion as she searches for her fairy-tale ending.

Review of Where The Heart is - The Complete First Series DVD by  LR_17

Advantages: Everything
Disadvantages: Nothing

...by the prospect of this, she takes pictures with her camera to remind her of her past, whereas Willy Jack doesn't seem to care about any of it. One day on their trip, Novalee complains that she needs to use the lavatory and the two of them stop at a Wal-Mart in Wal-Mart in Sequoyah, Oklahoma. Willy Jack waits in the car park and Novalee goes in. On using the lavatory and paying for a purchase, Novalee comes across her most unlucky number......5. You see for Novalee, everytime the number 5 comes up, something bad happens and sure enough, this time is no exception to the rule. When Novalee goes outside to the car, she finds that it's gone and so is Willy Jack. He's abandoned her and gone to Vegas leaving a nine month pregnant Novalee to fend for herself. Barefoot, armed with only a few dollars and a baby that's due to arrive any minute... Read review

Review of Himalaya With Michael Palin DVD by  gollum3273

Advantages: Amazing scenery, facinating
Disadvantages: Is there any?

...Himalaya - Michael Palin I am reviewing this 3 disc set on DVD, obviously, otherwise it wouldn't be a disc set. There are some extras on this DVD, they are: - Exclusive Pre-Trip Introduction on all three discs Extended Scenes Scene selection, There is over 90 minutes of Bonus Footage on this DVD It is rated 12, as there is moderate sexual detail. Running time approx 352 minutes. Also with subtitles, in English. Series producer & Director - Roger Mills Written and Narrated by Michael Palin The Packaging The man himself Michael Palin, the great man, and also a fantastic view of the Himalaya mountains. Well as you can guess from the title it is about the journey of one man, Michael Palin, who at his age is remarkably fit, and needed to be to go on this amazing journey. Rather than... Read review

ASH and the Blitz through Toyko
Review of Ash - Tokyo Blitz DVD by  phillegg

Advantages: If you love ASH then you'll love this!
Disadvantages: Obviously not for people who hate ASH

...This DVD is ASH, live at the Akasaka Blitz, Toyko, in September 2001. It features some of their greatest songs from the albums "1977", "Nu-clear Sound" and "Free All Angels". The track list is as follows: 1. Burn Baby Burn 2. A Life Less Ordinary 3. Submission 4. Shining Light 5. Goldfinger 6. Cherry Bomb 7. Walking Barefoot 8. Oh Yeah 9. Candy 10.Kung Fu 11.Girl From Mars 12.Only In Dreams 13.Wild Surf 14.Jack Names The Planets 15.World Domination 16.Lose Control 17.Jesus Says 18.Numbskull The actual performance of this gig is superb. For anyone who has seen ASH live, this will bring back great memories, and for anyone who hasn't, this will make you want to see them! I actually saw ASH later on this tour, when they came to Birmingham, and they were excellent, it is definetely worth it. Along with the recording... Read review
