![]() A Mother's Prayer [VHS] $9.98 A MOTHER'S PRAYER is an uncompromising portrait of a mother, and son dealing with AIDS. Linda Hamilton as Rosemary Holmstrom is, quite simply, phenomenal in this film. Noah Fleiss as her eight-year-old son, T.J., is not far behind. In fact the acting is first-rate by the entire cast. In this heartwrenching story of a woman trying to find a family to adopt her son, no punches are pulled. Rose is a working mother who must not only find the courage to deal with her own death, but find a suitable family to raise her son- a task she refuses to leave up to child welfare, or the equally sad adoption agencies. A MOTHER'S PRAYER is a tremendously moving film, and should not be missed. ![]() Separate Lives (Sp) [VHS] $9.98 This was a very interesting film. It combined a split-personality theme with a smooth detective thriller. It wasn't really hard to figure out the mystery surrounding the plot, but it was very entertaining to watch. ![]() The Dancer's Way: The New York City Ballet Guide to Mind, Body, and Nutrition $16.95 I bought this book for my 17-year-old dancer daughter on the recommendation of another dancer. As it arrived when my daughter was away, I took advantage of the chance to look at it fairly thoroughly. I was very impressed by the straight forward nutritional advice and the common sense tone of the whole book. Young dancers tend to do a lot of wacky things; this book gives hope of success by following a more thoughtful and reasoned approach. The personal stories told by various dancers are a method that I know young people respond to well. When my daughter left for her last dance program, this book went with her, unlike many that stayed behind in her bedroom. |
