 Two Small Voices (True Stories Collection TV Movie) $9.98 I thought what the plastic surgeon did to Sybil's contracted implant was barbaric. That was the most gripping part of the movie. The truth of what women go through, and their loved ones, in relation to the consequences of implants is movingly portrayed. The most gentle parts of the movie, that is, how the husbands supported and loved their afflicted wives, is noteworthy for all the world to see. Everyone should see this movie for that reason alone, if for no other reason!  Dances with Wolves - Extended Cut (Two-Disc Collector's Edition) $19.98 I agree with many of the other reviewers. The added material does not bog down the movie but makes it even more interesting than the original. The extras were interesting too, thought not as good as those on Braveheart. An interesting story with stunning visuals makes this a movie worth owning. Now if I only had a much larger screen for the buffalo scenes....  Behind the Mask $9.98 Dr. Robert Shushan (Donald Sutherland) is a workaholic leader of a clinic helping and giving useful work to mentally handicapped and developmentally disabled adults. His overwork leads to a heart attack. Shushan's reaction to a heart condition and work is typical--I know--I lived through it myself. Sutherland does a masterful work in displaying the emotion and drive, as well as a new look at life and what is important for a heart attack survivor. He must have had a real heart attack, or he talked to some men that did. Of course he was likely coached by one of the writers, the real Dr. Shushan. His new lease on life awakens him to a need to get closer to his son Brian (Bradley Whitford) who, after years of a civil relationship, questions the need or desire for more of the emotional and loving kinship. Unfortunately, during the heart episode's recovery time, the board of the clinic developed by Dr. Shushan has decided he needs to step down. Shushan takes one desperate stab at making a difference before he must leave. A mentally handicapped client and maintenance worker, James (Matthew Fox) becomes Shushan's focus. James had initially saved Shushan by being at the scene of the heart attack and responding appropriately. Shushan's enhanced effort to help this young man, lead to an attempt to find his father. James one great need/wish is to find his father, and that this father be proud of him. What an amazing portral of this young man who begins to see the doctor as his father. Of course, the father is found. That is no surprise. It really happened. It is the reaction to the situation by all four, 2 sons and 2 fathers, that makes the ending. Powerful drama, and knowing it was real, makes the emotional adventure of this DVD all the better. Father and son bonds are powerful to watch. Perhaps this is one for all fathers and sons to watch. Perhaps finding more important and realistic goals for life might be approached without the need to have the life-altering heart attack by many viewers. I'm a little slow in coming across this DVD--but so pleased I finally did. It's a love story of sorts, of real men, and real lives, and how men can desire and find a father/son relationship that works.  A Fathers Choice $14.98 excellent movie for the family. this is a movie you can watch over and over. worth buying |
