Chris Rea's Best.......2007-01-13

This is Chris Rea's Best CD ever!! I love the live recordings and the way you can feel how much Chris puts into his music. I wish the US radio stations would have played more of his music in the past, alot of people are missing a GREAT artist!!! Clifford Sleeth Houston Texas.

His sister Rikky is a researcher and frustrated country-western songstress dedicated to watching out for her willful brother. When the siblings decide it's time to hit the road their journey through the outback lands them in a small community, where they just might find the kind of people who can appreciate them...while making a fortune.

Captivating, Inventive, and Just a Bit Evil.......2006-07-06

If the first five minutes of this film don't grab you then you probably don't like cinema. From the opening frames of Pete's newspaper delivery truck to "Evil Donald" and the local Keystone Cops, you cannot help but laugh out loud.

The DVD is labeled full screen, but it is letterboxed on screen. HOWEVER it appears it was not mastered from the film but from the laserdisc master, like the upcoming "original" Star Wars DVD people are complaining about. It just does not seem to have full DVD resolution. The colors are vibrant however, and the film deserves to be seen, even if "on laserdisc." At least you don't have to flip the disc over!

Full Screen -----Total Rubbish !!.......2005-11-29

Yet again a truly great film is treated to a full screen dvd transfer.Americans want this but the rest of the world does not.Give us WIDESCREEN,and respect the cinema fans of the world.

funny and touching.......2003-07-18

Parts of this movie had me laughing myself off the couch.

It is an understated and unpretentious film, basically a love story or a coming of age story - I guess a mixture of both.

I had to give it 5 stars, it is not a 5 star movie even though Tetchie Agbayani looked totally delicious, but I figured the other reviewer gave it 4 stars, now it averges out at 4 1/2 - just about right.

Well worth seeing. It is part of my library and I bring it out as a special treat for company that I know can appreciate it.

A Good Laugh - Aussie Style.......2002-08-13

This movie is a typical Aussie sleeper. It starts out slow, with laffs at the expenes of the local police, and then moves out of town and North to ??????? All the characters are excellently cast in their roles and provide continuity in the trek North for gold and adventure. If you enjoyed the first "Crocodile Dundee" you will definitely enjoy this.

Combine some blasts from the past with a few brand-new songs, mix in an audience of friends and fans assembled for a special showcase gig, and you've got a recipe for a strong performance by singer Juice Newton and her band. Recorded in Los Angeles in 2001, the 16-song, roughly 75-minute show features Newton's brand of guitar-driven, crossover country music; not the world's most distinctive sound, perhaps, what with its oft-repeated themes of the heartbreak and sweet glories of love, but Newton is in fine voice, and the band is tight and rockin'. Some welcome variety comes at the end, when, after performing her two biggest pop hits ("Angel of the Morning" and "Queen of Hearts"), Newton brings out a horn section for a swinging "After Midnight" before closing with an a cappella "It's Late." --Sam Graham

Description

Juice Newton produced a string of top ten hits that impacted both the country and pop album charts. In this live concert event, Juice showcases her distinctive voice and energetic stage presence as she captivates a Los Angeles audience of friends and devoted fans. So sit back, relax and let the lady that defined cross-over music take you on a journey through three decades of music. Songs: Your Heart is Showing, Love Sail Away, Medley: I'm So Hurt/Break It to Me Gently, The Trouble with Angels, Red Blooded American Girl, Medley: You Make Me Want to Make You Mine/Cheap Love/Love's Been a Little Hard on Me, Every Road Leads Back to You, Shot Full of Love, Ride'm Cowboy, The Old Flame, The Sweetest Thing (I've Ever Known), They Never Made It to Memphis, Angel of the Morning, Queen of Hearts, Night Time Without You (After Midnight), It's Late.

A VERY GOOD DVD CONCERT!!!!!.......2002-12-12

I WAS VERY UNFAMILIAR WITH JUISE NEWTON BEFORE VIEWING THIS DVD, HOWEVER THIS LADY REALLY CAN SING.
SHE SHINES ON ALL OF THESE SONGS AND IS BACKED BY A VERY IMPRESSIVE BAND. THE SOUND QUALITY OF THE DVD IS VERY GOOD IN 5.1 SURROUND.
NOTE:THERE ARE A FEW EXTRA FEATURES ALSO THAT ADD A BIT EXTRA TO THIS DVD!!
CHECK IT OUT!!

Bettern' Bein' There.......2002-04-30

This DVD has to be better than being there. You would never get as close as the camera does. What a well polished show. Excellent band. Ms. Juice is much better than I remembered. The sound is also very good on this disk. Maybe they are finally working the technical bugs out. I'll watch this one again!!

Bittersweet night before 9/11........2002-04-20

I had the pleasure of being at this fantastic show in LA on 9/10. What an amazing showcase for the talents of Juice Newton. Watching the DVD was almost as good as being there (and I know). As a longtime Juice fan I had never seen her live and was impressed by how beautiful she sounds live. As her partner Otha Young says in the behind the scenes feature, Juice sounds even better live. Her song selection is perfect, great new songs, and beautiful renditions of older hits. I especially was touched by her rendition of "Old Flame". What the dvd doesn't show is how Juice spent so much time and energy on her fans after the show signing autographs and talking. What makes watching this concert bittersweet is how the next morning after such a great night of song our world changed forever with the attacks of 9/11.
My only quibble with the dvd (and cd) are the lame graphics. The cover is bland and could have been much more exciting looking. The picture on the cover isn't even from the show. Oh well, it's the show that counts the most and THAT is excellent. Buy this DVD and enjoy the show!

Juice Newton's touring concert brought to you LIVE on DVD.......2002-04-07

If you are a Juice Newton fan, or would like to become one, you should attend one of the 100 or more concerts a year performed at venues all over North America. But if you cannot get to one, or would like to enjoy one in your living room, Juice and her group, the Regenerators have packaged up the "perfect concert" onto DVD. It is named "Juice Newton - Every Road Leads Back to You" after one of the brand new songs in the concert. The advantage of watching this concert on DVD is that you continually view the concert from the vantage points of a combination of five live cameras, so it is as if you are watching with five sets of eyes. The concert took place at the Key Club on Sunset Strip in California, on September 10, 2001 (one day before 9/11/2001). This DVD captures the essense of a Juice Newton concert, with the enthusiatic audience of many Juice fans. It brings you so close to the show that while watching at home, I felt like clapping and cheering after every number. This DVD is more than a concert production, it has an introduction showing the concert setup, and afterwards it has comprehensive interviews with Juice and her partner, Otha Young and her husband Tom Goodspeed, You can really get a feel for the personalities of these outstanding people. Also provided are audio tracks for four newly introduced songs.
By watching this DVD, you can get a good idea of what a treat you will be in for when you see Juice and her group live.

A terrific concert DVD...with lots of extras!.......2002-04-04

This DVD features a terrific 77-minute live show in which Juice Newton mixes several of her '80s hits with many new songs, making for a thoroughly up-to-date and enjoyable experience. Newton's records have never captured her vocal range, but this DVD showcases her considerable vocal talents quite well! Many of her most popular hits are included, such as "The Sweetest Thing," "Queen Of Hearts," "Hurt," and "Love's Been a Little Bit Hard On Me"...and Newton throws in an equal measure of newer material, making this DVD more about who she is as an artist than about who she was. The song choices range from folk to country to pop to big band to a terrific vocal quartet finale, all of which Newton handles with admirable panache...talk about a musically diverse performer!! The DVD also features a great interview with Newton and several important people in her life...it is great to finally get a glipmse of this private celebrity's personality. And this is one lady who knows her priorities, knows her business, and has her feet firmly planted on the ground. Another excellent feature is four new audio tracks, all of which are TERRIFIC. From the tender, moving ballad "Love Is Still Alive And Well" to the astonishingly delicate and powerful "If I Could, I Would," Newton showcases that while her days of being at the top of the charts may be behind her, she is producing her best music ever. Hopefully this amazing DVD will find a large audience. Newton's true talents have been a well kept secret for far too long.

Left me with a few questions.......2006-03-31

I loved the "Wind at My Back" series and was eager to see this "sequel." Also the plot of the story interested me. I loved Hub's new girlfriend Anna and I thought that the boys turned out very handsome. I really want Hub to get together with Anna rather than Maisie who was always a little hooligan, but given the differences in their faiths, they may not be able to. I would really like another episode to this story.

Since I only watched two seasons of the five season series, I don't understand everything about the characters and their situations in THIS movie. For instance, Toppy is back, but where is her husband Bob and her daughter Doris? Toppy mentions that they have grown apart, but I would like to know more. Another Character missing is Max's brother, Del Sutton. At the end of season 2, it looks as if he and Grace will make a match of it, but Grace writes in here about someone named Van being her husband and his being killed or missing in the Spanish Civil War. Just who did Grace marry, and what happened to Del? I assume that Mrs. Mae Bailey married Maisie McGinty's grandfather; why else would Maisie be staying with Toppy at the Bailey house, but what happened to the Bailey mine that went under at the end of season 2? They need to get Season 3 on DVD pronto!

The only thing that really disappointed me about this movie was the character of Honey Bailey. The actress portraying her here is so glum looking, always scowling compared to Cynthia Belleveau's Honey. And she acts totally out of character, wanting desperately for Hub to join the priesthood. She acts a good deal like Mae Bailey did in the series, wanting to have a say in the boys' careers and disliking a girl because of her faith. I would think she would sympathize with Anna; after all, Honey was looked down on by the Baileys for being Catholic! Toppy, always the snob in the series, was the liberal-minded one here. Because of these inconsistancies, I deduct a star. Still an enjoyable movie. Bring on Season 3 of "Wind at My Back!"

My Favorite Family TV Series of All-Time.......2005-10-02

Wind At My Back originally began airing on Canadian TV about 10 years ago. I first saw the series when I was living in Buffalo while an undergrad at the University there (as I could get both US and Canadian TV)... When I heard the show was created by the same team that brought Anne of Green Gables to the small screen, I figured it could not be *too* bad, so I gave it a try...

To cut to the chase, it definately wasn't "too bad" at all... In fact, it was absolutely brilliant! I soon found myself pushing aside all my US (and Canadian) favorites, making sure I watched every episode week in, week out.

The show takes place during the Depression in Canada in the early 1900s... The Bailey family happily runs a convenience store in a small town, but soon gets swept into the hard-times others are suffering around them, and has to make do after a series of tragic events occur.

Due to these events, the family heads to the mining town of New Bedford, where they meet up with the town's matriarch -- May Bailey. May is a subborn, hard woman who has never even met her grand-children, and was against her estranged son marrying Honey (the family's mother). Now the family must depend on May for its daily survival or starve to death (and May, not being the forgiving type does not make it easy).

The show can run the emotional gammot from tear-jerker to hilarious to heartwarming-inspirational. It is that brilliant range mixed in with brutal realism that makes it such a pleasure to watch.

Also making the show a pleasure to watch is the fabulous overall cast. Every one of the characters is well-developed, and superbly acted. The standount of the show is definitely Shirley Douglass as May Bailey though. Every scene she is in is absolute magic, going from the heartless grandother and business person one minute, to a person with real feelings and pain the next... Great stuff all-around.

Needless to say, I think Wind At My Back is a must watch series, and one of the best ever created. If you or your kids like to watch well-acted realistic family dramas which don't hold anything back, then this series is for you.

one of the best ever.......2005-08-05

This is one of those programs that you wish would never (have) end(ed). Full of life!
