![]() Dance Party Fun $19.95 Dance Party DVD is a great dvd for children, ages 4+. Our five year old child loves it and has learned many of the dances. Actually, our two year old dances along and has learned the Macarana! Infact, our whole family loves it . . . Grandma too! Good exercise. The kids play the dvd during playdates and everyone joins in! It's a lot of fun! Yes, children demonstrate the dances in the dvd, but that's part of the appeal for the young audience. Easy, upbeat, and fun! ![]() Sex and the City - The Movie (Full Screen Edition) $19.98 "The moral of the story is, If you try to pollute the New York Public Library with your frou-frou, something terrible will happen." - Jessica Zafra Bad or good, if you are a fan of the series - you just have to see the movie. And fortunately, this movie spin-off doesn't end up totally badly. What can we expect, anyway, from a big franchise such as this? Product placements all over, no less, like it's the designer names' and Vogue's field day. Three years after the series finale, somebody has got to make up for an update in today's couture via our four beloved girls. In an over-the-top-it's-almost-in-bad-taste way, that is. Honestly, during the first half of the movie, I was ready to walk out if I saw another Pucci-whatever print dress, pair of oversized hoop earrings or ankle boots. If these girls have enough money to wear labels, couldn't they have bought something appropriate yet equally fabulous for the trip to Mexico? I am very disappointed in that red dress Miranda wore... I mean, to a resort, dear? I thought the character was much more sensible than that. My version of the Jessica Zafra moral lesson is - "make your wedding day all about the dress, and you bring it upon yourself if that's all you stand next to at the altar." I'm not going to lecture about materialism because this movie is obviously not about moral lessons anyway, but it's just that the first half reminded me a lot about why I never liked Carrie Bradshaw in the series until she got her karma in Berger. When she took off her glasses in front of the mirror in Mexico, I wanted to say, "Girl, you should've spent as much money on anti-ageing creams as on your Manolo Blahniks, 'cause I think Big got scared seeing a preview of the future." And so as her karma unfolded, the movie, too, started to redeem itself, with its focus on relationships. The writers seemed to have gained the upper hand over merchandising department this time. The new character Louise was a fresh touch. I liked the parallelism in Carrie and Miranda's fight and the latter's relationship with Steve. And the tear-inducing scenes that make it the quintessential chick flick have totally overshadowed the predictable happy ending for every character (yes, including Javier and Anthony) in the movie. Predictable, yes, but it is what we came to the theater for - to see our modern day heroines remind us about the value of friendship and forgiveness and being your own self, whether you live in the city or not. ![]() Smile and Say "Woof!" (Full House Michelle) $3.99 All I have to say is do not buy this book. I bought it for my little sister. She hated it too. I read it and it's awful. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thier goes 2 weeks of allowance... :-( ![]() Top Cat and the Beverly Hills Cats: Full Length Movie $7.77 I have this movie on video and I really like it. The top cat movie is a really good movie. I have been wanting it so badly, tha I begged my mom for it ever since I was only 1 and a half. I got it on eBay and I am so happy to have it. It's better than all that crappy junk on tv as boring as beavis and butthead, ren and stimpy adult party cartoon, south park, etc. So if you are a fan of T.C., I highly recommend this video for you. |
