 Carlito's Way Collector's Edition - Land of the Lost Movie Cash $14.98 Academy Award winner Al Pacino stars as an ex-druglord fighting to escape his violent, treacherous past in this action-filled tour de force from acclaimed director Brian De Palma. Sprung from prison on a legal technicality by his cocaine-addled attorney (Sean Penn), former drug kingpin Carlito Brigante (Pacino) stuns the local underworld by vowing to go straight. Dedicated to making a change, he reunites with his former girlfriend (Penelope Ann Miller) and rekindles their romance. But his dream of a legitimate life is undermined at every turn by ruthless former associates and even deadlier young thugs like Benny Blanco (John Leguizamo), who are out to make a name for themselves. Despite good intentions, Carlito's misguided loyalties and outmoded code of "honor" plunge him into a savage life-or-death battle against the relentless forces that refuse to let him go in this powerful crime saga.  Swimming With Sharks $2.99 This is one of my favorite films because of its message. I find it depressing (but not surprising) that so many people missed the message. The message is simple yet profound: "Life is hard. Know what you want or you won't be happy." Perhaps the message is too subtle for much of the movie going public. Is this film a masterpiece? No. I would have given it 4.5 stars, if I could. There are minor flaws in its execution. But overall I love it for what it reveals about life, if only people are willing to see it.  Kabbala Necklace - Silver Turn Around Cabbalic Hamsa with Shema Israel Jewish Prayer $19.95 Kabbala Necklace - Turn Around Cabbalic Hamsa with "Shema Israel" Jewish Prayer. Shema Yisrael are the first two words of a section of the Torah (Hebrew Bible) that is used as a centerpiece of all morning and evening Jewish prayer services and closely echoes the monotheistic message of Judaism. It is considered the most important prayer in Judaism, and its twice-daily recitation is a mitzvah (religious commandment). Hamsas are popular as charms and decorations in Israel and are not considered to have any Islamic connection other than the shared Arabic name (same as the Hebrew). Among Jews, fish are considered to be a symbol of good luck, so many hamsas are also decorated with fish images. Hamsas are incorporated in wall plaques, mobiles, keychains and necklaces. Sometimes they are inscribed with Hebrew prayers, such as the Sh'ma, the Birkat HaBayit (Blessing for the Home), or the Tefilat HaDerech (Traveler's Prayer). Hamsas may be displayed in either directon, up or down according to the taste or decoration associated with the Hamsa. We are proud to have such a meaningful gift in stock. |
