Brewster

Brewster's Millions
$5.98
John Candy and Richard Pryor were two veterans of 80 comedy movies and each had hits and misses, the two would team up for this film.

Brewster is a minor league pitcher who learns he had a rich uncle he never knew about. He leaves his a challenge spend 30 million dollars in 30 days without making a profit, not spend a penny on himself, and be completely poor when the 30 days up. He'd win 300 million dollars if he can do that or he can wimp out and get a million dollars right now. He chooses the bigger prize. We see Brewster go around and try to spend the 30 million with an accountant, who he naturally falls in love with but she engaged to someone. I fell asleep during half this movie because it was boring and predictable. The ending should have been suspenseful but I knew what would happen. I didnt laugh at all, maybe because this film was rated PG. I still dont understand how anyone could have 30 million dollars, let alone 330 million (the sum of money he has to spend plus his winnings) but that I guess you gotta suspend disbelief because its a movie. I didnt really like this movie and the laughs were non-existent for me.

These are the biggest wall stickers I have ever seen. They make a really dramatic statement and my daughter loves what they have done for her room. We used these stickers to enhance one entire wall and they fill it nicely!

Brewster Mccloud [VHS]
$19.98
This is a follow-up to Dr. Paddon's review from nine months ago.

The DVD version he bought in 2008 is a fraud. "Brewster McCloud" never has been released on DVD. What Dr. Paddon got was a disc containing a direct transfer from the VHS cassette version that the MGM studio released in 1993. Somebody who has access to a machine that transfers VHS cassettes to DVD discs ripped off Dr. Paddon for 10 or 20 dollars. This somebody used to operate a web site called [..]. Like Dr. Paddon, I, too, noticed the site in 2008 and bought this movie on DVD. I noticed the absence of the MGM logo on the box or disc. There is a fradulent logo that says "DVD Video."

It would be nice if the copyright holder of "Brewster McCloud" reads this. Maybe it's somebody who works for MGM, which did in fact release the movie on VHS cassette in 1993.

The reason Dr. Paddon noticed a lack of detail in the actors' costumes and in the Houston scenery is that he was watching the VHS cassette version transferred to a disc. "Brewster McCloud" has yet to be restored with detail from the 35 millimeter negative. It has yet to be released on DVD.

The quality of the movie (minus the technical issue of whatever detail can be salvaged from the 35 millimeter negative -- such as Shelley Duvall's eyelashes ?) is awesome. The screenplay, radical process of storytelling and performances are top notch. Maybe all the detail from the 35 millimeter negative will reach a wide audience again.

Today Is the Day
$9.99
TO answer all of your questions, this is not the real Today is the Day; not the wonderful band of artists that created Kiss the Pig and Axis of Eden. In fact, if you listen to this band, you will realize that it sounds nothing like the real Today is the Day (and, in my opinion, not very good). Just a WARNING TO ALL THOSE THAT ARE LOOKING FOR TODAY IS THE DAY MATERIAL, this is not what you are looking for. If you purchase this, thinking that you are getting an album of twisted genius from Steve Austin and co, then you will be thoroughly disappointed.
