How I wish I had been lucky enough to see her then - but still I am glad that the five times I have seen her on stage in London were such treasured experiences. A dvd that is a must for Barbara Cook fans.』
(Barbara Cook is luminous!) 『Every home in the US should have at least one copy of this DVD. This is a wonderful view of entertainment from the 1960s which shows the polish and level of talent demanded of performers in the past! Barbara Cook is radiant and sings a quite different variety of songs than are asssociated with her repertoire. I play this DVD daily.
Robert Goulet and Barbara Cook should do a new album of duets every year! And please record more seldom-heard songs!』
(Barbara Cook - Bell Telephone Hour Appearances 1960-1965) 『It is wonderful to view Barbara Cook circa 1960 shortly after her run in the Music Man. That first segment may be the best on the show. Most segments are in color. Too bad the DVD is only 53 minutes.』 『Barbara Cook, one of the great Broadway voices of the 20th century, was fortuitously recorded for television'sBell Telephone Hourin 1960-65, just a few years after herCandideandThe Music Man. The picture quality is fuzzy, and the production values have that cheesy look of 1960s variety shows, but it's still a thrill to see the young Cook sing Broadway songs she isn't normally associated with, such as "The Simple Joys of Maidenhood" and "I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outta My Hair." Of chief interest, of course, is the 1960Music Mansegment in which Cook appears with the original stage show's barbershop quartet, the Buffalo Bills. Again, the minimal staging isn't much to look at, but it's our only chance to see Cook in the role she created that was taken over by Shirley Jones in the movie version. Also appearing are the legendary Alfred Drake (singing "Maxim" and "Blue Eyes," and sharing a duet of "Vienna, City of My Dreams" with Cook, whom we don't normally associate with operetta) and a young Robert Goulet (singing "Lovely" and "The Sweetest Sounds," among others). Watching Barbara Cook on theBell Telephone Houris sort of like watchingThe Judy Garland Show, except with an artist in the spring of her career rather than the autumn.--David Horiuchi』

Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (Boring) 『Like mentioned in another review, the animation/story was very generic. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Not even a rental.』
(the real story) 『I like these guys and I like their work, as far as the hurricane deal goes read this:
"Barry recalls his drama of making "Don't Miss the Boat." "It's so ironic," he says. "We're doing our first movie about the biggest storm in history and what happens down here? We got hit by four hurricanes, and we were under a strict deadline. We'd have to break down all the computers and shut everything off. It was an absolute nightmare.""
』
(Miss the boat... please!) 『This was the second ROACH APPROACH DVD that my daughters and I watched and I can promise you, it will be the last. "Miss the Boat" was just as bad as "The Mane Event". Once again... the script, the direction and the acting are just terrible. It's like they're intentionally trying to keep everything, and I mean everything generic. It's a shame too, because I do believe kids would like religious themed entertainment if it were actually entertaining. Miss the boat... please, miss the boat!
P.S. I also think the company messed up somehow on the resolution for the animation. Everything looks slightly fuzzy and this was not the case on the other Roach Approach DVD.』
(Stunning Animation!) 『The animation in this new twist to an old story will leave one awestruck. The talent and dedication of this animation team rivals the likes of Pixar and Pacific Data Imaging. Check out the character motions, the background detail, the ominous coming of the storm, and the pan-out of the ark near the end. The music by Michael McDonald (remember the Doobie Brothers?) and the beautiful chart-topping Christian artist, Natalie Grant, is superb, especially her rendition of "There is a Rainbow". Don't be fooled by other reviewers with a one-track, 'everything is offensive' mind, who can't spell 'hurricane'. Let your children decide for themsleves what is entertaining and wholesome, and what is offensive. The Roach Approach Series would be a great Christmas gift for a child you love. It may teach them a great deal about love of family, steadfastness, devotion, tolerance, honesty, and faith in God.』
(The worst kind of "Christian" videos.) 『I ordered this, hoping to show it to kids at my Episcopal church. Thank goodness I previewed it. As the roaches set up the story of Noah's ark, they are worried about an approaching hurricaine. One tells the other not to worry as hurricaines are "just God's way of clearing away the things we don't need." Is this really what the creators of this video believe? In light of the suffering caused by Katrina, the callousness of this sentiment takes my breath away.』 『A family of roaches-Grandpa Lou, Grandma Nana and grandson, Squiggz-are vacationing in Florida when a hurricane threatens to ruin their good time. Always one to make the best of a bad situation, Grandpa Lou takes the opportunity to tell the very appropriate story of Noah’s Ark. One in a series of a family-friendly, hilarious children’s videos, DON’T MISS THE BOAT! also features memorable songs from Michael McDonald and Kirk Whalum.』
IPhone 3G used's review (Outstanding) 『If you are naturally disorganized, or if you are fairly organized, this is a simple video, yet its magical. It really is a simple yet exciting and fun video. Outstanding job. She actually shows true common sense throughout the video. Its one of those videos, that if you have time for one organizing book or video. I think this is definately the one.』
(Pretty good) 『Info was great...we would like to have seen more examples of hands on organization. Overall, this has been one of the best yet.』
(An answer to prayer) 『I have "packrat syndrome". My landlord is threatening eviction. I feel so invalidated by everyone who belittles me and can't understand how vital I feel things are. And when people "Help" me out by throwing my things away I feel violated.
I haven't had a chance to use the system yet but I got a library copy I feel I can't give up. I have watched it several times,(more on the how to start part.) I feel that finally somebody understands where I am coming from and is validating my feelings and rights. She has created a system that takes my personhood into account instead of just the culturally expected way of life. She says organizing is about identifying what is important to and getting access to them. To celebrate your abundance if you feel deprived. Get a beautiful trunk and create a pleasant trip down memory lane and take it often so you don't have a need for so much volume.
I have recomended it to several friends I am so excited and loaned it one who is right now watching it the 4th time.』
(Video is a great format for the organization-challenged!) 『I bought the book several months ago, flipped through it, and had been meaning to read it since then. My house is so cluttered that I felt I didn't have time to read it, and half the time, I couldn't even find the book. When I saw that Julie had published a video version of her book, I thought that I could set aside that much time one afternoon to watch the video. It actually took 3 segments of time to watch it due to two toddlers and my husband, but I watched it and was inspired. I think I learned everything I need to from the video, although the book includes more details. I think it's easier to get started just with the basics than to be overwhelmed with information, anyway. I actually learned information that I can use this time, and what's more, I'm putting it to use! I highly recommend this video. Also, Julie Morgenstern is really likeable, so it's fun and inspiring to see her on video.』
(Video summarizes very well a practical method for organizing) 『This video is a very enjoyable and effective summary of the method to organize described in the corresponding book. It does a far better job at that than the book because the book has the method burried in 250 pages of advices that are not as essential as the method. The author herslef is the host in a studio using before/after pictures and videos of places she organized. The method consists of A)Analyze; B) Strategize; C)Attack. To Analyze one must ask what is causing the clutter, what is working, what is not working, what items are most essential. To strategize one must devide the room into activity zones and store items at the point of use. Finally one must attack the SPACE by Sorting, Purging, Assigning a home for objects, Containerizing and Equalizing. Before you tackle a major organization project it is better to spend the 1 hour or so watching this video than reading the book. You will be immediately ready to organize instead of being paralyzed with so much written advice.』 『This program features organizing expert Julie Morgenstern, a veteran professional organizer and leader in the organizing industry. For more than a decade, she has been solving the organizing problems of individuals and corporations. Her bookOrganizing from the Inside Out(upon which this program is based) is a New York Times, USA Today and Amazon.com bestseller. In the video and DVD version, Morgenstern shows specific techniques to make any organizing project simple, manageable and attainable, rather than frustrating, overwhelming and impossible.』 『Bestselling author Julie Morgenstern has a fresh perspective on why clutter and disorganization exist and offers specific instructions on how to permanently organize your house or office in this fast-paced world. Morgenstern begins by defining "organized," asserting that it is not necessarily neatness, but the "process by which we create environments that allow us to live, work, and relax exactly as we want to." Without a compelling reason or goal for achieving organization, she declares, failure is imminent. Once a personal goal is established, Morgenstern outlines three basic steps: analyze, strategize, and attack. The time and thought devoted to the first two steps are crucial to the success of the final step, and the lack of forethought is often why people fail repeatedly in their attempts at organization. Morgenstern suggests some very specific questions for creating a successful, personalized scheme and offers the kindergarten classroom as an example of simple and effective organization.
Once the analyzing and strategizing steps are completed, Morgenstern breaks the "attack" phase into five specific, manageable steps. Following a woman named Wendy through a step-by-step organization of her very messy closet is an invaluable visual example of the entire process. Included on this 75-minute video is a 13-minute segment not shown on public TV, called "Secrets of a Professional Organizer," in which Morgenstern offers suggestions on a variety of topics, including living with a messy person, stretching closet space, travel packing, and keeping motivated. With its thought-provoking questions and specific instructions, this video simplifies the process of organization and increases the likelihood of success--it's well worth the time and money invested.--Tami Horiuchi』
IPhone 3G used's review (To much talk and a few great moments) 『Dave Brubeck is a great jazz piano player and he shows it by improvising on a Russian theme during an interview (one of the best moments, or minutes).
Usually we see the concert and then can see complementary information in the "extras". In this case we see the extras and have a complementary show at the end... We see his arrival, his interviews, his rehearsals, meetings, etc... and when you are about to throw yourself out of the window you are rewarded with a few minutes of great music. 』
(Brubeck is the one and only) 『Dave has set the bar very high for so many years. He does not have an equal,IMO. I have most of his albums in vinyl and disc and several DVD's, and I am completely taken back each time I listen to him. Way to go, Dave.』
(Brubeck is a master.) 『I own the DVD of this and enjoy it so much I bought the VHS for my parents. Everyone knows Take Five but Brubeck's sacred music, specifically this Mass, was an area unknown to me prior to a Houston concert in Dec.'06. This recording is interesting and entertaining because it leads up to the actual concert with backstage interviews and rehearsal footage in Russia. The soprano is especially noteworthy, as was an impromptu jam session with a violinist which had Dave beaming from ear to ear with joy. The songs generally start off slow and operatic; but before you know it, the quartet and the orchestra join in and jazz it up in typical Brubeck style. My favorite is 'All My Hope'; the melody stays with me all day!』
(Brubeck Returns to Moscow) 『I was very disappointed with Brubeck Returns to Moscow. It was not typical Brubeck. It was Russian Mass music』
(Backstage with the Dave Brubeck Quartet) 『Over the past couple of years, I've become a great fan of Dave Brubeck's music and found this DVD (I'm surprised he even had one) to be a good look at a behind the scenes tour of Dave in Moscow playing with the Russian National Orchestra. The behind the scenes material is great, by far the best part of the DVD. You'll see a legendary jazz man in his element, soaking up his host's adulation. The performance of Blue Rondo Ala Turk is another highlight well worth the price of this DVD alone. My only regret is that much of the second half of this DVD centers around Dave's choral music which, to me, is too operatic and not the orchestrated jazz that made Dave's music an important part of my listening experience over the last couple of years.
I recently saw the Dave Brubeck Quartet in concert with the Russian National Orchestra at the Ironstone Vineyard in Murphys, California (July 2002). It was the best concert I have ever attended. Really, and I've seen a lot of acts in Las Vegas and Lake Tahoe. It was as if an orchestra/big band showed up in your backyard and played for you and your friends. Totally cool, totally sophisticated, played by consumate professional musicians that know their instruments inside and out. This was not a modern concert of this week's star cursing at the audience and calling it art. You really sense the music resonates to the core of each individual in the Quartet and the orchestra, playing it with such skill, knowledge, and insight on so many levels that it sends chills through your body. I don't know how many times I said to myself during this concert, "Man, these guys are good." The Ironstone concert started with the Russian National Orchestra opening with Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue, making way for the Dave Brubeck Quartet's entrance as these grey beard's kicked it up a gear and the whole place began to swing. Backed by the orchestra, the Dave Brubeck Quartet dug into Summer Music, Salute to the Count, Take Five, Take the A Train, and Blue Rondo Ala Turk. I would kill to have this concert or a similar concert on DVD and only hope that it will be produced, a great jazz man working with the material that made him famous, backed by a full orchestra (I highly recommend Dave Brubeck's 80th Birthday CD with the London Symphony Orchestra, which captures much of the concert I describe above). Until that happens, and I really, really hope Dave's production people are working at putting a DVD like this together, Dave Brubeck in Moscow is a good bet for the backstage scenes and Blue Rondo Ala Turk. It will give you a good sense of the decency of this man and a measure of the timeless music he makes.』
