If Holden Caulfield Were in My Classroom: Inspiring Love, Creativity, and Intelligence in Middle School Kids
$18.95
Mr. Schein's methods of teaching need to be the norm in today's middle schools. I have three boys who all had serious behavior issues in middle school mostly as a result of boredom. The way he engages the students using literature and then develops their maturity through self awareness and writing on their reflections is unique and innovative. The book is a very easy read and spells out exactly what methods he uses including a detailed account of a case study.

Monsieur Beaucaire (1946) [VHS]
$14.98
... I didn't love it, and of the 4 Bob Hope movies I own so far (Monsieur Beaucaire, The Princess & The Pirate, Casanova's Big Night, & Road to Rio), this is my least favorite of the 4. But that isn't bad, all things considered, it's still a very good movie. Somehow, the humor to me just wasn't quite as good as in the other movies I mentioned, but it's okay. Worth getting the vhs at a low price.

Darkness Falls (Special Edition)
$14.94
Wow...there's a whole lotta hatin' goin' on in THIS place, I see...

Well, while the majority of you are sharpening your pitchforks and lighting your torches, I'll take advantage of the opportunity to put MY two cents in on this little flick.

I loved this movie. I thought the concept was good (I mean, why do we assume the tooth fairy looks like Tinkerbell and is just inherently friendly? Why is it tough to believe that there may be a darker legend behind her like there is in most fairy tales? Why is it easy to accept an undead revenant with a hockey mask haunts a summer camp, but not the idea that there is a supernatural being that must conform to a set of celestial rules?), and the cinematography was positively chilling (the scene near the beginning in the hallway outside the safety of the bright bathroom is the stuff of Lovecraftian nightmares).

Preying on our inherent fear of the dark was a masterstroke...and I've read the complaints about how light was her downfall, but lightning didn't bother her...well, why do we swallow that in some vampire movies crosses ward away the villains, but in others they can use them as toothpicks?

Add to that element the use of the tooth fairy, as aforementioned a friendly and "safe" element of almost all of our childhoods, weaving her legends of how you must be asleep and never see her into something sinister, and you have a very scary movie.

I look at any horror film in the respect of 'does it scare me? Does it touch some psychological button that, in my suspension of disbelief that I carry into watching ANY film, takes me back to my childhood, lying there in the darkness, seeing the shadows from the streetlight and wondering just what those little noises were that you always hear in a quiet house?'...it seems that most of the reviewers here rely on what is shown on the screen being solely responsible for making you afraid...and to an extent, I believe that also, but in my opinion if a film has an element that reaches into you and finds that one spot to place a cold hand and remind you that just maybe there's more out there in the dark than you know about, then it's done it's job.

Like any movie, Darkness Falls has it's flaws...but it found that child in the dark that's still somewhere in me...maybe if any of you readers out there still keep that same child somewhere in your psyche, you'll enjoy this movie as much as I did.
