Review from a shopper who 'Loved it'
From: Posted: Jun 04, 2008 Type: User Review What a great story!

There are great indi films out there and this is one of them.

Basically, its a story about an eccentric, and his study of a band of wild parrots living in San Francisco. The movie is suitable for children, and a great film to watch...

Review from a shopper who 'Hated it'
From: Posted: Mar 22, 2006 Type: User Review Hippie Not Kids

While the birds are gorgeous, this is a hippie movie and not for kids. Monologue by protagonist (narrator and lover of the adorable parrots) whether he should bother getting a job or not and hints of drugs are not suitable for children. This...

Review from a shopper who was 'On the Fence'
From: Posted: Jul 13, 2007 Type: User Review Not all it says it is

Judging from previous reviews of this movie and being interested in parrots I decided to buy it. It is a nice, cute story. The quality of the picture and filming is poor. I expected better picture. It is worth the watch, but not the purchase.

Review from a shopper who 'Hated it'
From: Posted: Mar 29, 2008 Type: User Review Poor little Andy

This is the most hilariously overrated film I've seen in recent memory. It made me laugh harder than Superbad. And the piles of lavishing praise shown in these reviews take me to an extremely cynical place with the epiphany that Art is truly a...

Review from a shopper who was 'On the Fence'
From: Posted: May 12, 2008 Type: User Review Goldsworthy DVD is a little slow moving

I bought this for my high school art class. They were fascinated for the first 20 minutes. After that they lost interest. I thought Goldsworthy was much more exciting than this.

Review from a shopper who 'Loved it'
From: Posted: Aug 28, 2008 Type: User Review A video that proves education can have heart.

The story in The Hobart Shakespeareans is remarkable and touching. A great video for teachers, all those in education, for parents who want their children to succeed as both students and human beings.

From: Posted: Aug 03, 2007 Type: User Review Misleading Film

Yes, this man is a dedicated teacher. No, his methods are not the wave of the future for educational reform or methods that would often work elsewhere. The perspective of this film is skewed by describing these students as underprivileged inner...

This DVD is a must for everyone. It is an amazing revelation to the mystery of sound, percussion etc. Evelyn Glennie is just unbelievable and you just have to see to believe her amazing giftings.

I bought this movie from acorn media, and luckily they allow you to return it, which I did because it was just mind-numbing and tedious. The only redeeming part was a very small quip about her childhood, which the director should have developed...

Review from a shopper who 'Loved it'
From: Posted: Sep 02, 2008 Type: User Review Hear me out . . .

This engaging documentary (docudrama comes closer to the right term for it) could be representing its subject fairly, but there are signs of potential bias that should make viewers question it before drawing conclusions about cochlear implants....

The thing that is so dangerous about this video is that it seems so even handed. The video lulls you into the idea that it is fairly viewing both sides of the issue. The implant is so so dangerous- not simply because it will eliminate Deaf...

It seems like just yesterday. The fire alarm went off, and we were supposed to climb beneath the desk and cover our heads to prevent our being vaporized. One of our educators was a turtle who told us to "duck and cover." During the same period, we...
