Whoopi Goldberg

Burglar
$9.98
I want everyone to know that I am 21 years old, and I saw this movie on cable when I was only 13. I walked out of my room a changed person, and realized what I wanted to do with my life from that moment on; Be an Actress. But not just any actress, I wanted to act along side Whoopi Goldberg. She has been my childhood hero since I was 4 years old, and I wanted to be an movie star then as well, but as the years went by, I forgot what I wanted to do with my life, and was uninspired by many things...until the night I watched this movie, which I think is the funniest movie ever made! Comedy is my first love, and drama next, but since that defining moment, I've become a very good singer and screenplay writer, and am signed with a record company out of Hollywood. Next is films. Whoopi is still my childhood hero. She may say she's retired, but she hasn't met me yet. A comedy such as Burglar may not be special to some people, but it is the reason I am who I am today. ~ Dana E.

Call Me Claus
$14.94
My wife and I enjoyed this movie so much when we saw it on television. "Call Me Claus" became a must have for our library! We have been wanting a copy since Christmas 2008. It is a cute story about Santa Claus needing a replacement every "200" years. And Whoopi fit the bill, as a child visited "Santa", tried on Santa's hat and it "glowed". Whoopi became the "designated" replacement for St. Nick. Add in how a child thinks "Santa" can do anything, resulting in Woopi's disillusionment , plus Woopi ending up in the most materialistic job as an adult-TV producer for a shopping channel and you end up with a situation that has you thinking there is no resolution. The movie was probably designed for children, but more than fulfill "the kid in me" for entertainment.

Sugar Plum Ballerinas #1: Plum Fantastic
$4.99
while the illustrations are wonderful, and the text is amusing, they simply don't match up for me. the lovely drawings are of little girls, so i assumed this book would work for youngsters of similar size. the wording, however, and subjects discussed, are way too sophisticated for little ones; and the drawings are too "babyish" for older girls. I found myself stuck with two Whoopi books that don't seem to work for my granddaughters young OR older. Confused about age appropriateness, and very disappointed. Cannot recommend.
