Tyler Perry's Temptation: Confessions of A Marriage Counselor



Powerful....
Not to give anything away but it shows you the grass is not alway greener! Idk what the deal is with the people giving it one star...maybe because it's not riddled with graphic sex scenes, the situations are real, powerful and true to life. Very good reasons why you should not cheat or stay with a cheating partner!!! Tyler just keeps on getting better and better!

Are You 'Happily' Married ?
Judith has been married to her husband, Brice, for six years; she's known him for nineteen. Judith and Brice were children when they met - went from best friends, to dating, to marriage.

As soon as I heard how long Judith and Brice were together, I would have thought they set a solid foundation and that they're marriage was strong but since the movie trailer makes it clear that Judith does not resist "Temptation", I knew that was not the case. The adultery was coming and I wanted to know the circumstances that led to the betrayal.

Judith (Journee Smollett-Bell): She was an educated woman and I believe she loved Brice, but the woman had an adventurous side waiting to get out. There was nothing wrong with that. She didn't want to 'exist her life away'. There was nothing wrong with that. But she made bad choices because she listened to the wrong voices. If she and Brice would have communicated better, maybe things would have turned out differently. If she...

What Was I Thinking ...
I like Tyler Perry and expected so much more that this ridiculous mess. Anything would have been a better use of that $3.99. The only thing worse than the worn out story line was the horrible acting. Kim Kardashian should have been my first hint.

My Father's Garden



Must see!
This is a wonderful story with a dramatic twist. It's hard to distinguish between a documentary and a novel, but it tell's an important story of the current state of our agriculture. It brings up important possibilities for the future of our food and should be seen widely.

My Father's Garden in Health Class
I have used this compelling film in my 8th grade Health Science class as part of our unit on nutrition and organic gardening. I like to use the film because it documents the development of farming with chemicals in a very human way. The film has the quality of a home movie and the individual lives it focuses on help make the story very real to my students. This film does not preach, but does show us how farmers innocently used chemical pesticides and fertilizers thinking they were farming with the newest scientific advances. This documentary is informative and moving, and important for all of us to experience.

You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll go organic!
"My Father's Garden," is one of the most important and poignant documentaries I've seen on the plight of the American farm and how petro-based chemical agriculture has altered this country's rural heritage. Fred Kirschenmann is my organic farming hero. If I could choose all over again, I'd pursue a career in organic farming because of him.

If you care at all about what you eat, if you care at all about the health of our rural communities, if you care at all about the well being of the people who grow the foods you consume, buy this DVD. Watch it. It will forever change the way you think about what ends up on your plate. A must-see.

Angelina Ballerina: Mousical Medleys [HD]



Singing and Dancing!
This is a classic Angelina Ballerina DVD that is full of dancing and songs. Very cute and musical. My kids (my boys and my 2 year old daughter) enjoyed it and we have watched it a few times now. I love though how Angelina and her friends work together to solve problems, make decisions and be a good friend. It is full of great lessons for preschoolers and very simple for kids to understand. This is a great DVD whether you have an old or new Angelina fan!

I received this DVD to review in exchange for sharing my honest opinion.

Very Amazing and Awesome Musical Stories on this Very Amazing DVD!
Once Again another Great and Amazing Dvd with Very Wonderful and Musical Stories! 1 Story is about Art,ANother About Recycling,another about working together as a Team,another about Opera and History and one about performing a Special Musical.All these awesome stories are very Heart Warming and Very Incredible for both Kids and Adults!

Great for the Musically Minded
My three year old daughter Paige is going to be the musical one in the family as she loves anything to do with music and dance. She has always loved Angelina Ballerina but I knew she'd be especially excited to watch Mousical Medleys since it has an emphasis on music as well as dance.

Angelina is a spunky little mouse with a talent for dance and fun friends that she has many adventures with. Things don't always go according to plan for Angelina but she has a way of working things out. I like that this DVD encourages working together and solving problems; perfect for my three year old!

"Angelina's Camembert Parade" was Paige's favorite episode because we recently went to a parade and she can't stop talking about it. It's funny the things that stick in kids mind at certain ages. We have been to many parades before but this is the first time it really made an impact.

Angelina Ballerina: Mousical Medleys is clean fun for your toddler and even those that...

Happy Gilmore



I don't think your lungs can handle this kind of laughter...
You're looking for a comedy on DVD. Let's see...

You don't want any comedy that's too sophisticated, like "Deconstructing Harry".

You don't want any comedy that's too insane, like "There's Something About Mary".

You JUST want to laugh.

I'm proud to say "Happy Gilmore" will make you scream with laughter, my friend. This is Adam Sandler's platinum hit, the best comedy of his career. It has the coveted Amazon.com five-star customer rating, a rare find indeed for the comedy lover, and reviewers call it "the best golf comedy since 'Caddyshack'". The movie stars Adam Sandler (Bulletproof, The Wedding Singer, Billy Madison) as Happy Gilmore, a short-fused hockey player who just realized he AGAIN didn't make the cut for his hockey team for the 10th time in a row. After taking out his raging anger on the coach, he life begins to spiral downwards when his girlfriend leaves him, and he realizes his grandmother's prized house built by...

The only guy to take off his skate and try to stab someone!
This movie has got to be one of Adam Sandler's best. Notice how he always plays people with somewhat short fuses, though some not as violent as Happy Gilmore. But that's what makes this so funny. With an opening sequence in which he tries out for a hockey team for the tenth time and isn't accepted, and ends up beating up the coach, you know where this thing is headed. This movie is more than just a regular guy with an awesome shot due to hockey and an awful temper. But the movie is at it's best when Happy gets into a fight with 'The Price is Right' host Bob Barker and Bob wins! Anyone who hasn't seen this scene can't call themself an Adam Sandler fan! The basic story of this is pretty simple, it's about a guy who thinks he was born to play hockey, but still hasn't made a team. Then he meets a guy with a wooden hand who used to be a golf player, who tells him he should start. So he does, and he's got an awesome drive, but his putting stinks. And he has an arch enemy, a...

Adam Sandler does it again!
Adam Sandler does it again with "Happy Gimore." By far his best movie, Adam plays a wanna be hockey player with a short-fuse. He gets in many fights in this movie, one with Bob Barker I might add.

The story starts out with the audience finding out that he has tried out for this Minnesota hockey team too many times and has never been accepted. He has had enough of this happening to him so he tries to stab someone with his skate.

He leaves the ice and later on a used to be golfer with a wooden hand noticed his ability and soon enough he is on the PGA tour. The only catch is, he doesn't want to be someone that wears tight clothing and volleyball hats while playing golf....he wants fans cheering, beach-balls being hit, and fans calling his name.

A rival golfer hates this and tries to get rid of him and that is where the story takes off. Sandler plays a great role and is very funny of course. Now, I don't know about you, but if you say you like comedy but haven't seen...

In His Hands (Entre Ses Mains)



Been there, killed that
Anne Fontaine's disappointing Entre Ses Mains aka In His Hands is one of those films you've seen long before you actually watch it because it's been made by people who've seen too many films and think the best way to create a classic is to homage one somebody else made earlier to death. In this case the victim is Claude Chabrol's Le Boucher, relocated from a small village to a very metropolitan Lille, with Jean Yanne's butcher and possible serial killer and Stephane Audran's schoolteacher who falls in love with him reworked into Benoit Poelvoorde's insomniac vet prone to depression and Isabelle Carré's insurance claims adjuster. There are a few new wrinkles added to the mix - Carré's character is happily married but still drifts into a near-affair in spite of her doubts - and it's easy to see why the actors were attracted to the film since it places the emphasis firmly on the characters and performances rather than the thriller plot. Poelvoorde in particular is...

The Indigo Evolution



Indigos
It was a great documentary!! It gave me an understanding of the Indigo Children and also that we all have these gifts. A good movie to watch if you question what Indigo Children are.

Touching, Inspiring
This movie was a delight from start to finish. It was thought provoking, philosophically & scientifically sound and well presented. The music was enchanting and flowed well with the format. It was especially comforting to hear interviews of Indigo's of all ages & backgrounds. From actors to parents, and from Native American Hopi Elders to Ram Dass - all tell us that the Indigo phenomena are here acting as an evolutionary jump in our human experience.....a bridge from heaven to earth. Truly worth watching.

A Turtle's Tale 2: Sammy's Escape from Paradise (DVD/Blu-Ray/3D Combo)



A Turtle's Tale 2 Rocks! A beautiful adventure for the whole family.
My family truly enjoyed the first A Turtle's Tale, so we were very excited to watch this sequel. A Turtle's Tale 2: Sammy's Escape from Paradise has many of the same lessons as in the first story, that teach children about sealife, caring for the environment, teamwork and friendships. In this story Sammy and Ray are now much older and the adventure includes their adorable grandkids named Ricky and Ellen. Being the loving and caring grandfathers they are, they work to protect them from the dangers of the big wide open sea and in the end when Sammy and Ray need them the most, their grandkids are their for them.

This was another adventure with Sammy my whole family was able to enjoy together as a unit. Sometimes, some animated films fail to attract the attention of my whole family, A Turtle's Tale is definitely not one of them. I found the animation to be even better than the first film and the music is beautiful and so much fun. I would recommend this DVD for all ages and any...
