Friendly Fire [VHS]
$59.98
Carol Burnett has been known as one of America's funniest ladies, but none of her comedies can hold a candle to her performance here. This was her finest hour as a middle-aged woman whose son was killed in Veitnam by what was called "Friendly Fire". "Friendly Fire" is where soldiers shoot, and sometimes kill people on thier side. All she wants to know is what happened to her son, and she's getting hit with lies and deception, and let's not forget persecution on both sides. Ned Beatty whose debut movie was in the action/adventure classic "Deliverance" is equally spectacular in this made for tv film as Burnett's husband. The Veitnam war is one of things that weigh heavily on my heart even though it was over 40 years ago that we were in that country, and I was only a baby when it was raging on, but I hear about it on the news, and in the movies, and in the books, and on the T.V. specials, so I am still affected by that war. I feel it was probably the most disruptive war to date, and the government just didn't want to think perhaprs our side made a mistake; no that's too much to think of our government it's better to break up the family than admit to a mistake, but that's the mentality of our country at times. I'm not sure if I remember, or not, but I think this was based on a true story, so it's already going to have a good storyline to it, but then throw two versatile entertainers, and show that they can do drama as well as comedy it just makes everything work easy as pie. Which is what this movie did. I wish they had oscars for made for tv movies, but then again there wouldn't be the emmys where this movie should've cleaned up, and if not then fire the voting committee.

Survivor II: The Field Guide
$14.95
It seems as if Survivor will be airing yet another show in 2005 as Survivor-10 or Survivor-Palau.

I wonder how much these show actually help the host country? For example, the country domain is .pw and www.survivor.pw could be used as a fan site for Survivor-Palau. Have the show's producers considered this?
