Title: Fine Early Effort From Friedkin Product review: "The Night They Raided Minsky's" is what I would call a qualified success. It offers some insight into burlesque circa 1925 New York. The dialogue, delivered in rat-a-tat fashion, is hit or miss but gets the bullseye most of the time. What distinguishes the film is the direction of William Friedkin who fluorished in the Seventies only to peter out somewhere around "Cruising". Here, Friedkin is surehanded delivering a film of both style and substance. This is a crisply edited film that delivers eyedropping visuals with it's stunning art direction and costume design. The cast is littered with pros but the film's rapid-fire pacing doesn't really allow anybody to shine though I did like a young Elliott Gould as the show promoter and Denholm Elliott as a legion-of-decency type. This film interested me because of Friedkin's presence behind the camera but others should enjoy it as well. Now if they would only put "The Brink's Job" out on disc.

Title: great stuff Product review: We love the Magic school Bus series. Fun, educational and so much detail yet keeping the kids' attention. I try to pick up all on the series that I can find. It's nice to invest tv time instead of wasting it! Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?

Title: Ground Hog Day meets The French Connection Product review: This film recycles the same event over and over, each time adding a tiny plot twist burried in repetitive material. Each recycle starts with a clock dispay a la Ground Hog Day - all that's missing is the radio playing "I've Got You, Babe" and a little entertainment value. After they have recycled the same event to death and you are ready to hit the stop button if they show that darned clock one more time, they move on to a car chase that just goes on, and on, and on, as the excitement gradually fades into fatigued boredom. Do yourself a favor and skp this one. Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?

Title: This is a great hard bop album. Product review: If you aren't sure about hardbop, then get this. This was one of my very first Jazz CDs. It may be played at my house more than any other CD I have. Cornbread is just a fantastic song that can't be fully appreciated until about 10 times through. This recording is just fantastic. Ceora is one of the greats of all time. This Album is packed with great music and you won't be sorry you own it. I will never tire of this fantastic album.
