Same basics ad the DVD without the goodies. I will describe the DVD.

Before we go into any details, I suggest you put on your protective goggles, strap in and go for the main feature. Prepare to be dazzled with sharp images and excellent sound that stay true to the original film.

As with all Disney products there is a lot of schmaltz explaining to them selves of how great they are. In this case, I will have to agree with them. The platinum edition of "Snow White and the seven Dwarfs" makes it well worth trading in your old version or just retiring it. The two-disk edition has more information than can be absorbed in one sitting.
Amazon did a good job of defining all the DVD goodies. However I must mention a ... Read More:

as some of you already know, masterpiece theatre cut out about 30 minutes of the movie. some of the most endearing scenes are cut out of the dvd. this is a warning...do not buy this dvd if you are expecting the full version. if you love this version and have a multi-region dvd player, buy the british region 2 dvd from the UK site. it has the full version, not to mention a prettier cover :)

Enchanted is a brilliant movie that captures the quintessential essence of what makes Disney...Disney! Enchanted is a movie that; is nostalgic in the ways that it pays homage to traditional Disney by fitting in as many allusions as possion; it is an audacious effort to blend the old with the new; it is a revival of music from the golden era of Disney films during the late 80s/early 90s through the brilliant composer Alan Menken (Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Hunchback of Notredame, etc). The music alone should inspire you to go. What makes this movie so approachable is how it contains so many Disney qualities but also plays upon these Disney themes through new, and often humorous, interpretations.

The characters are ... Read More:

.The Big Bang Theory: The Complete First Season

from: Warner Home Video

This may be the funniest show in years. Sarcasm, cynicism, double entendres, snide comments and egotism. If you cannot see part of your character in each of the four male characters then get a friend to point them out to you. If you can't recognize some of your friends characters in them look harder.

This show gives us the best chance to laugh at our own foibles we have gotten in years.

.Yoga for Stress Relief
City Travel Guides > DVD > DVD
starring: Suzanne Deason, Barbara Benagh
directed by: Ted Landon, Michael Wohl

January 09, 2007
I was HIGHLY disappointed in this DVD. The workouts are just not as restorative as I had hoped from the title etc. There were too many active workouts. I was sleepless one night so I tried the insomnia sequence and I couldn't BELIEVE she had DOWNWARD DOG on there! Oh MY GOODNESS! You don't do active poses that get your blood pumping when needing to relax and sleep.
BUT, she is a very good, in fact EXCELLENT teacher for sure.

This mini-series was like a book you did not want to put down. You start wondering why it takes 6 hours to tell a story. At the end you are breathless.
It is like a satisfying meal which leaves you full, but wondering when you can return. My wife and I like to discuss what we have seen as we go through each episode to ensure that we did not miss anything, epecially with movies that contain Britspeak (I am English and have no problem with it, my Canadian wife sometime finds it difficult - pause on a DVD player is a great invention.)
There are several sub-plots within the story which periodically come together and then part again. In the end you are left very surprised where the story ends up. Though you were led there gently, not all of sudden presented ... Read More:
