![]() Naked $14.98 Over 20 years of reviewing Albums/CD's and making recommendations to my fellow freinds. I had never anticipated this particular Cd would rate so high in my review. Based on the overall track quality and how the Cd is put together, Louise Nurding's debut CD as a solo artist recorded the highest ranking EVER.This is one of those rare "complete" CD where no "filler tracks" can be found between the first track to the last. Boys and Girls, there are only handful of CD/Albums ever produced that is this good. ![]() Zero No Tsukaima: Louise Ani-Statue $54.99 This statue is a must have for any PVC collector. The detailing on the face, body, and hair is superb. The cape flows realistically, and the expression on the face is attention getting. The addition of the wand and book makes this piece particularly attractive. True collectors of anime statues must purchase this one, your collection will not be as beautiful without it. ![]() Thelma & Louise [VHS] $4.94 Gal pals Thelma and Louise hit the road for escape and adventure and the unknown. Are they looking for a new life or running from life? Or both? From the opening shot of an empty desert highway stretching to the horizon, we intuitively know that the end of the road is coming. Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon are terrific as two lost souls trying to take control. At times bitter and angry, this is a feminist manifesto that forces the viewer to ride along on this fatalistic trip to the edge and beyond. Ridley Scott's superb eye and confident direction give writer Callie Khouri's compact screenplay the emotional sheen it needs to keep the viewer aligned with the protagonists. We think, if we could only love them, then everything will be OK. We feel the damage and abuse they have suffered and are sympathetic to their dilemma. But it's too late. They have made up their minds to take us over the edge and it is horrible and beautiful. Ahhh, sweet release. This has been called the first mainstream lesbian hit film. (R, widescreen, 129 minutes) ![]() Art & Auction $120.00 Anyone involved in one way or another in the art market should be an Art & Auction reader.
