Teen Yoga (2008 Video)
10/10
Definitely the best yoga video on the market, and not just for teens!
30 November 2011
For those of you who have not ever viewed any of the (many) Yoga videos on the market (at least half of which are from Gaiam!), you won't appreciate the TLC that has been put into the crafting of this impressive, instructional video release. While there is certainly a teen-appeal angle, this video is probably better titled Yoga-Fit and marketing to beginners and intermediate practitioners of all ages. The teen angle makes sense in that the primary talent star is Miss Teen USA Allie LaForce, from a few years back (and now on Cleveland TV News). The yoga master is Kathleen Kastner, who is well-known and respected for her studios and high profile, celebrity clients.

Fresh new take on classic material
30 November 2011
Kudos to Robert Tinnell and his talented team at Allegheny Image Factory for having the balls to apply a contemporary interpretation to Poe's most famous tales. Purists of Poe's time-locked settings may revolt, but for introducing these stories in a manner more readily consumed by today's audiences, the film is a huge success! As described in the press materials, five of the best known, classic tales of terror by Edgar Allan Poes have been re-shot and re-imagined under contemporary circumstances. While the visual effects at times may betray the budgetary and indie origins of this collection, the concepts and execution are otherwise spot on target. Check it out!

Bruce Willis, Julia Roberts, George Strait... need I say more?
18 September 2004
Without doubt, GRAND CHAMPION has the most impressive cast of "AAA" level stars and musicians ever gathered together for a fun, "G" rated family adventure. This is a MUST BUY for every video collection! Director BARRY TUBB skillfully combines the drama of the rodeo / 4H competition for the "GRAND CHAMPION" cow with a touching and funny story of perseverance against difficult challenges. Joey Lauren Adams delivers her typically solid performance as the well-intentioned mother, but the star of the show is 12-year-old EMMA ROBERTS, whose on-camera presence is a glowing as that of her famous aunt, JULIA. You can expect a lot from this young Roberts-protégé' as is already proving itself in her new, hit Nickelodeon series, "UNFABULOUS."

The very best of IMAX 3D and Visual Effects
29 June 2004
Only the IMAX format and 3D photography could match the impressive grandeur of a Siegfried & Roy performance, and director Brett Leonard ("Virtuosity") delivers the goods in this visually stunning extravaganza. Balancing a retrospective story on the genesis of the world's most famous magic duo with performance footage of astounding feats, "THE MAGIC BOX" is a powerful film that makes it ideal for DVD collectors. Academy Award winner Anthony Hopkins lends further elegance and panache' to an already perfect creation. It's easy to see why Siegfried & Roy have generated over one-billion dollars in total box office revenues for their world-famous shows. Now that the future of their performances is in jeopardy of permanent retirement, the value of this film achieves historic significance. Check it out, the 3D effects will knock-your-socks off!
