 Fun With Dick & Jane $2.99 Fun with Dick and Jane is the funniest movie I have seen in a very long time. Jim Carrey & Tea Leoni are at their best. I wish to thank Amazon for having such a wide selection of movies to choose from with very reasonable prices. I have purchased movies (and books) before this and will continue to.  The Lodger $9.99 I bought this as I am a Simon Baker fan and love who dunnits. Although named The Lodger, it is about a woman slipping into darkness and her relationships with the people around her, including the mysterious stranger who arrives to rent a guest room in back of the house. The plot is suspenseful and intriguing - one doesn't have a clue who the killer is until the last frame of the movie - literally. I wish a little more time had been spent on the developing relationship between the Lodger and Landlord; it would have increased my interest and rounded out characters a bit more. I found it distracting in the "rain" sequences to see pouring rain with not one drop falling in the rain puddles on the sidewalk just in front of The Lodger as he finds the house or the rainbows of color in the incredibly bright background as the door is opened to see the first glimpse of The Lodger. Just annoying details that could have been easily rectified with a few sprinkles of better placed water. I have also read books on Jack the Ripper. Anyone who knows much of the MO of the Ripper knows facts that were lost on the scriptwriters. Again, annoying little details that weren't protrayed accurately in the film and detracted from my viewing of the movie. I am not a detail person but I think these problems could have been solved with a little time spent in simple research. Overall though, this was an interesting film that left one wondering until the very last frame (literally). Good job!  THE RANGERS: Survivors Of Toughest, Most Bitterly Lacerated U. S. Army Infantry Force Are Home For Well Earned Rest. Picture shows Ranger's terrible losses. In front stand 97 Rangers now resting at Camp Butner, North Carolina. Men behind represent original strength of 1,500 men. On D-Day, losses among the original Rangers were appalling. Of about 1,500 men who started in the three battalions, there are only 199 alive and returned home. Of the 199 survivors, 64 wear the Purple Heart for injuries they suffered overseas. In short, less than one-tenth of the original force came through intact. Pictured are Colonel William O. Darby, Lt. Colonel Roy A. Murray Jr., Capt. Charles Shunstrom, 2nd Lt. Gino Mercuriali, Sgt. John Ingram, Sgt. Thomas Williams, Sgt. Anthony Rada, Lt. James Altieri, Pfc. Carlo Contrera, Sgt. David Campbell, Lt. Peer A. Buck, Sgt. Joseph P. Lucas, Sgt. George H. Creed, M/Sgt. Dean Hooker, Lt. Randall Harris, Sgt. Lester B. Cook, and Capt. J.N. Fineberg. ..... 1944 LIFE Magazine Article, A5001A. $15.99 This Item is an original five page Magazine article, taken from a vintage magazine of the year indicated.
