Slip Away

Slip Away - Good Movie
As always, Amazon Instant Video plays flawlessly.

The movie finally arrived on Amazon Instant Video - YES! To sum up the review of the movie - In comparison to other lesbian movies out there, I thought the movie was pretty good. It addresses a serious problem that not many couples (not only lesbians although it was nice to see it from a lesbian relationship perspective) face. My only complaint was that the movie was too short.

Some may enjoy it but I didn't
This is a short movie about a relationship torn apart by drug addiction. The story has been told over and over - this film adds a lesbian element...but thats about it. There may be some artistic value that I'm not keen to. Not something I would really recommend for the rental price. The film would be more suited to be paired with some other lesbian shorts in the Amazon library and rented as a package.

I want more!
I gave this a 4 rather than a 5 because it was too short. This would have made a great (longe) movie or even better a web series. I want more!

Bunny Play Date

Great for young kids
This movie is great for the pre-k kids. My 3yr old just loved this movie but adults will find this a little boring. Lots of cute baby animals and bouncy music. Keeps the little ones quite for an hour.

Cute for a while
Baby animals are always fun to watch - whoever filmed this could have caught more of those cute moments. The music was a bit distracting, drowned out the little animal noises.

Voiceovers Lol
My 5 year old and I watched this and it was extremely boring so we "talked for the animals". That was pretty much the most exciting thing Lol

The Kansas Tea Party

Entertaining and informative
This was enjoyable to watch and contained a lot of valuable information! Having never attended a Tea Party event, this was informative about what occurs at these gatherings!

A truthful account of the Tea Party
This was a great film. It was nice to see so many people from our state fighting for the constitution. This should be played for liberal gatherings.
I had no idea that the Kansas Tea Party was doing so many things locally. A real eye-opener film. I loved it!

A Grassroots Movement
An informative documentary film, especially for someone wanting to learn about the Tea Party, and/or for those people that may have a negative view after listening to the main stream media. Thanks to Dr. Ibbetson for actively being involved in the Tea Party movement, a heartland story, for sure. His Conscience of Kansas radio program is a hit, as well as his books. Keep up the good work!

Skyscraper - Part 4 - Copper and Diamond

As Jimi Hendrix sang, 'Kiss the Sky'
Ever wonder how a skyscraper gets built? We see them all the time - on television, in person, in movies, but how are they actually put together and built? This program educates you as to how a skyscraper named, 'World Wide Plaza' in Manhattan (former site of the old Madison Square Garden building) was planned, executed, and finally constructed.

The building construction began in 1986 on a four-acre area. The cost was $100 million dollars. The skyscraper is 50 stories high, containing shops, offices, cinemas and apartments. 'World Wide Plaza' is part of a three building commercial and residential complex completed in 1989. The roof of the building features a pyramid of copper panels with a glass dome. The inner steel framing was constructed by a technique called, 'Overhead reverse weld in the sky'.

The skyscraper known as 'World Wide Plaza' stands proudly as one of New York City's impressive skyscrapers. New York City has the fastest building construction of...

Between 2 Worlds

Interesting Concept
I thought this documentary brought up a very interesting point about our concept of time and how that impacts our daily lives. It is something that I very much take for granted and don't pay much attention to, and it was thought-provoking to consider that.

However, I wish the documentary went into more depth regarding what it would be like, on a practical level, to not adhere to the Gregorian calendar (i.e., how would daily life change). I also wish the documentary spent less time on the whole "conspiracy" angle of the Gregorian calendar, and just discussed more about the impact it has on daily functioning and human psychology/spirituality, etc.

Thought provoking indigenous view of the Gregorian calendar and Mayan philosophy
The documentary is not about a catacylsmic end to the world but the possibility of a human created one. It compares the Gregorian calendar to the Mayan calendar demonstrating that humanity is at a crossroads for our future. With the Gregorian calendar we face a future of unnatural rampant consumption and destruction of the Earth. The Mayan focus is to listen to our inner voices and choose a more cyclic, natural existence of peace, cooperation, and environmental responsibility. The makers of the film see the beginning of a paradigm shift to the later while acknowledging the continued rise of consumerism, control, damage to the environment, and war.

I gave the documentary only four stars because the musical introduction is over four minutes long, viewing like a travelogue of the Yucatan, a place I love actually. I almost bailed on the film because I thought it was only going to be music and pictures. Also, the narration sounds dated, like it was extracted from another...

Feel Good
Yes, the Mayans were all about peace love and unity. Now excuse me while I cut the still beating heart out of this loser as part of our human sacrifice ritual. !?! I agree with the message of the flick but have a few problems with the messengers.

Bomb Squad

not worth the time
this was really bad, the acting was bad, but the was really really bad was the sound editing, who ever did the sound on this film should be banned from the industry.

Intriguing
I understand this was a student film and had a ridiculously small budget and they did some amazing things with that budget. The CGI effects are better than many SYFY productions. The acting could use some fine tuning but I think that and the props all fall under the ridiculously small budget. I was impressed by the number of times the super beings used their powers and the basic story is sound though the dialogue and and few points along the way could use some tweaks.
I would very much like to see the potential reached for this film maker.

LOW BUDGET MST LAUGHER
DISCLAIMER: I am not connected to this film which is why I didn't vote a "5". It is sad when the makers of the film have to shill their own product in an attempt to make a substandard project look good. If watching a quality low budget film is your thing try "Primer."

The film opens with 3 men in ski masks (and no gloves) robbing a guarded building of its glow sticks. On their way out they encounter the evil Wraith, a man in a black cloak hoodie and a cheap demon voice echo enhancer...oooooh scary, Darth Maul move over. These guys all have special powers, i.e. stop bullets, create fire, create lightning, and influence people with their glow in the dark contacts.

The movie shifts to 8 years later. Two of the Freeman kids visit super dad in prison and he imparts some of his power to them who in turn touch their siblings who also get power, turning them into a mini "Fantastic Four" to the dismay of their doting mother. It is during their visit he recaps the plot,...

The Great Year

Six Degrees of Civilization
An engaging documentary that intertwines the phenomena known as precession through the Equinoxes and how, the rise and fall of civilizations may be linked to this on a grander scale. All indications point to the ancients being obsessed with the heavens and having been aware of this cyclical grand cycle. Their knowledge of the cosmos without our current stage of technological advancement defies our ability to explain their insight on such an expansive scale. Yet several ancient cultures utilizing advanced geometry and astronomy all had names for this vast cycle and the effect it played on mankind.

For years the academic community has told us these ancient writings amount to no more than fairly tales.

Now several institutions are examining the possibility that ancient civilizations were more advanced than previously thought... a theory that does not sit well with traditionalists in conservative academic circles.

Does history and civilization move in...

"Clock Of The Ages" ~ "A Return To The Golden Age"
Did highly advanced civilizations exist on the earth long before conventional history wants us to believe? Civilizations that understood secrets in astronomy, mathematics and many other fields of scientific endeavor that have unfortunately been lost with the passing of time, now buried somewhere in the sands of antiquity.

Are the ancient tales of an antediluvian "Golden Age" populated by beings with miraculous God-like abilities really just nothing more than myth and legend? Or are they in reality the last remaining fragmentary accounts of what mankind once was and may become again in some future age?

Warning, this documentary will challenge everything you've been taught about history, astronomy, religion and the nature and destiny of mankind. Be ready to postulate such concepts as:

1) The discovery of a 24,000 year celestial cycle which determines the rise and fall of civilizations and man's ability to comprehend 'higher wisdom.'

2) A...

Interesting idea well presented
I ordered this DVD after reading "Lost Star of Myth and Time" by Walter Cruttenden, which is a sequel to the book this DVD is based on. There was a brief description of the DVD in the back of this book. The movie makes sense even if you haven't read either book, but if you want to see most of the evidence for its ideas, get the books.

The graphics make it much easier to visualize what the books talked about, and the narrative, interviews, and shots of various ancient sites present the idea very well.

In case you don't know, the general idea is that precession of the equinoxes is not caused by a wobble of the Earth's pole, as is assumed by conventional science, but by the Sun being part of a binary star system, and thus following an eliptical path through space and taking the Solar System along with it. (So that it appears to be going backwards in relation to the "fixed" stars half of the time.) It's a logical idea that explains the observed phenomena. So why...
