Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Still My All-Time Favorite Movie) 『I first saw this movie when I was 7 years old. I'm 29 now, and it is still my all-time favorite movie. A wonderful movie about boyhood friendship and the different problems that each kid faces in his home life or in social situations. Four boys set off on a journey to find the body of a dead kid, but it's much more than that. The movie is about the camaraderie of the boys and the problems that each one faces. Chris, the leader of the gang, comes from a family with a bad reputation and therefor is labeled bad by the other people in the town. Gordie is a kid who is coping with the death of his own brother, but more than that, the lack of a relationship between him and his father. Teddy has a dad who is very abusive because he suffers mental problems from his experiences in WWII. Vern is kind of the social outcast. Certainly not one of the most popular kids in school.
Now, about some of the other reviews I have read and you may have read yourself: First of all, let me start by saying that if you're a self-esteem movement parent and can't stand curse words because they greatly offend you, stay away from this movie. This movie is very realistic. Believe it or not, 12 year-old kids swear, get over it. My friends and I swore long before that, but we never did it in front of adults. We didn't do it because we saw it in movies. We did it to act rebellious and thought it made us look older than we were, just like every other 12 year-old kid. These kids in the movie are just like any other 12 year-old boys. So do not use this movie as a scapegoat. Like I said, just get over the fact that 12 year-old boys do swear.
Second of all, this is NOT a chick flick like a couple of reviewers have said. Yes, this is not an action-packed Die Hard type movie, but that doesn't make it a chick flick. I'm a guy. All my friends like this movie, guys and girls, and none of the guys ever called it a chick flick. It's no more of a chick flick than the movie Rudy, which I have never heard of receiving that accusation. If you're that insecure in your masculinity, then please just stay away from the movie.
As long as the last two things I mentioned don't apply to you, order the movie right now!』
(Lacks The Character Development Of King's Novella) 『In the novella "The Body" written by Stephen King that this film is based upon, a group of boys set out to find a local dead body, and end up finding more out about themselves than anything. Along the way, master wordsmith King is able to develop each and every character to a point where readers can really care for or sympathize with their problems or successes.
In this film version, "Stand By Me", though, that incredible character development is lacking. I realize I am a bit "tainted", as I know what I was missing, but suffice it to say that after the novella experience, the film just seemed to lack that extra "oomph" to turn it into any sort of classic.
Of course, I probably am expecting the impossible in this situation, as director Rob Reiner likely did everything he could to develop four very different young men in the span of only 88 minutes, but just that limitation alone drags the story down a bit. Whereas King (as he is known to do) can, in a very in-depth fashion, probe the personal lives of each of his characters, Reiner is restricted to a series of flashbacks that just don't have the same emotional connection with the viewer as King does with the reader.
Now, don't get me wrong...I don't think that this is a bad film by any stretch of the word. If you have not read the novella, I think you might be inclined to give it another star in the rating column (don't expect "classic" status, though). However, if you (like I was) are looking for faces to be put to King's classic characters, locations, and themes, then you will likely be a bit disappointed, as "Stand By Me" fails to carry that mantra like some others have (including "The Shawshank Redemption", a classic movie based on a story in the same collection as "The Body").』
(Awesome!!!!) 『The movie "Stand By Me" was a film based off the novel by Stephen King known as "The Body." But for all who have seen it, you may notice it doesn't seem like the Stephen King type, I mean compare it to "The Shining" or "It," this is a family flick with an R rating. I mean don't get me wrong, it's got a lot of adult content throughout the film like Chris (River Phoenix) swiping a loaded gun from his wasted dad, Ace (Kiefer Sutherland) almost stabbing Chris in the throat, Gordie (Wil Wheaton) threating to shoot Ace with the gun, the kids smoking, most of the characters constantly muttering bad swears, you know the rest. The part that most of the viewers out there including I, made us pee our pants was the train scene which Teddy (Corey Feldman) declares "the all-time train dodge." Aw, Speaking of Teddy I love that little guy! He's not afraid of nothin', he wasn't afraid to cross an old 100 foot bridge, he wasn't afraid to dodge an on-coming train, and he almost joined the army, what an awesome dude. And Vern (Jerry O' Connell) a little chubby kid who is afraid of everything, unlike Teddy. If you must know the plot it's about 4 12 year olds who set out to find a dead body and bring it back and become heroes. The emotional scenes make you realize that they have horrible lives in a small town, and by the end, you feel glad that they get out of their town. And if I could add a new scene it would be the boys encounter a vicious animal like a wolverine or a coyote and the grab the gun and blow it away. Oh well the rest of the movie was very entertaining! The set up to when the boys find the missing corpse keeps you anticipating it. Complete with a terrific music score which you may recognize from George Lucas's classic "American Graffiti." So overall, it's a great movie, so definitely see it, if you have it. If you don't then rent it, buy it, it's worth it! RIP River Phinoex :)』

("Stand by Me"--a must-see!!!) 『I ordered the DVD of the movie, "Stand By Me". I had seen this movie in the theater, back in the '80s, with my sister, Eva Cassidy---the wonderful singer who died in 1996 from cancer...... Eva and I LOVED this movie, and us watching it together in the theater is a wonderful memory I will have forever....... This movie delves deeply into the hearts, minds, and souls of these youngsters. It is at times funny, and then heart-breaking, and most people who watch this movie will recall their own childhoods. This movie is one you will want to watch again and again, which is why I bought the DVD in the first place! This movie was directed by Rob Reiner, and was based on a story by Stephen King--need I say more?!!! Buy this for yourself--you will not be disappointed!』 『A sleeper hit when released in 1986,Stand by Meis based on Stephen King's novella "The Body" (from the bookDifferent Seasons); but it's more about the joys and pains of boyhood friendship than a morbid fascination with corpses. It's about four boys ages 12 and 13 (Wil Wheaton, River Phoenix, Corey Feldman, Jerry O'Connell) who take an overnight hike through the woods near their Oregon town to find the body of a boy who's been missing for days. Their journey includes a variety of scary adventures (including a ferocious junkyard dog, a swamp full of leeches, and a treacherous leap from a train trestle), but it's also a time for personal revelations, quiet interludes, and the raucous comradeship of best friends. Set in the 1950s, the movie indulges an overabundance of anachronistic profanity and a kind of idealistic, golden-toned nostalgia (it's told in flashback as a story written by Wheaton's character as an adult, played by Richard Dreyfuss). But it's delightfully entertaining from start to finish, thanks to the rapport among its young cast members and the timeless, universal themes of friendship, family, and the building of character and self-esteem. Kiefer Sutherland makes a memorable teenage villain, and look closely for John Cusack in a flashback scene as Wheaton's now-deceased and dearly missed brother. A genuine crowd-pleaser, this heartfelt movie led director Rob Reiner to even greater success with his next film,The Princess Bride.--Jeff Shannon』

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Its been cut!) 『I saw this film under its alternative title of"The Unspeakable"on cable. This version has quite a number of cuts toward the end, so if you've seen the final scene with Athena Massey on cable, it won't be here.
Other than looking at the incomperable Athena Massey with the less than usual amounts of clothes on, this film is the usual psycho fare. The twist is supposed to be that Massey's psycho cop boyfriend is to be compared to the thoughtful philosophical slasher, with us coming down on the side of the slasher. Unfortunatley, cutting Massey's final scene definatley makes this much less valuable than it would have otherwise been.
Conclusion: Don't bother. Massey fans: Get her film Undercover instead, its much better.』

I watched this sepecial segment of the Charlie Rose Show on TV and decided to keep a copy. I thought I'd watch this DVD whenever I want to remind myself of the virtues of hard work, love, authenticity, and of how these things can make meaningful differences in our lives.』
(Tim Russert remembered) 『Timothy John Russert (May 7, 1950 - June 13, 2008). This show is a tribute to the renowned broadcaster and journalist whose sudden death from a heart- attack shocked and saddened people all over America. The show consists in an interview with Russert's close - friend the journalist Al Hunt, a number of excerpts from Russert's twelve appearances on the 'Charlie Rose ' show and a closing especially moving tribute by Charlie Rose for his colleague and good friend. Russert was a much- loved figure not only because of his dedication and professional skill in hosting 'Meet the Press',but also because he was a warm, ethical, principled patriotic American. The work he was most proud of was the memoir he wrote about his father, Big Russ, whose values Russert learned from and lived by. The conversations with Charlie Rose reveal Russert as a man of sense, decency good humor and good will. His love for politics and his love for his family were the center of his life. This is a case where for many the loss of a public figure is felt as a personal loss.』 『An appreciation of Tim Russert with fellow journalist and friend Al Hunt. Russert died of an apparent heart attack while recording a voiceover for Meet the Press in Washington, D.C. on June 13, 2008. He had just returned from family vacation in Italy, which celebrated his son's graduation. This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media.

It is too technical in some areas and not precise enough in others. The production value is not what I expected with such a name as Sam Donaldson attached. There are plenty of other resources, including Ken Burns' The West, and the HBO movie Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee. I learned much more about the Dawes Act and other atrocities in that movie than this documentary. Also check out the movie Smoke Signals.』
(Informative, but Depressing) 『It's important that humankind never forget the tragedies of slavery, concentration camps, and New World genocide. However, that doesn't make them easy topics to digest. For example, I'd like to see Liam Neesom nude but not if that means watching the inhumanity displayed in "Schindler's List." The same catch-22 happens here. It's important for people in the new millennium to know that Native Americans have been and continue to be dispossessed. However, it won't make you day to see or hear 80 minutes of a discussion on the topic.
This documentary had diverse speakers: female and male, Native and non-Native. However, I don't think Sam Donaldson did a strong job in directing this work. One interviewee is a law professor, yet two of his front teeth look melted together and the large tooth had a big, nasty cavity on it. I'm sure a dentist could hook him up and that he can afford it.
I took a Federal Indian Law course and it was far from a piece of cake. This documentary focuses on the laws that ripped land away from Native Americans. Students in that course may benefit from seeing this. I'm not sure if this work would be too legalistic for others, but it does attempt at being user-friendly.』 『Studio: Victor Multimedia-05 Release Date: 08/15/2006』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (I Love This Movie) 『This is one of my favorite movies! It has a wonderful cast and great characters! Tyler, the mean big brother, is played by my favorite movie star, James Marsden! He has so much talent! The plot of the movie is good and there are many funny jokes! It's a great family film! Its even better when you watch it and then watch 27 Dresses! Then you see how James has gone up in his acting career! I say every family should watch this movie! It's a classic!』
(I'd Give it a 0 If I Could!!!) 『My family and I were expecting a good nice clasical movie but after seeing the first 9 minutes we just had to turn it of. You saw this little girl watching TV and in it was a monster that was eating people. Blood was everywhere and it was disgusting. I had to run out of the room to get a breath of fresh air. I thought that it might get better but when I came back I saw this big boy pushing his little brother around. This was not a normal boys fight, it was definetly violent. Then, my parents put a stop to it. We didn't even see the rest of the movie. I'd definetely not reccommend this movie to anyone. So, people, don't waste your money and time on this movie.』
(great movie) 『hey this is a pretty good movie i recorded this from the disney channel in about 1998 trust me dawg if i liked it yawl will like it』
(Pretty Good) 『This movie is definitely a good kid's movie. The kids learn how to manipulate their parents to get everything they want, including getting rid of their evil big brother, Tyler. The characters are pretty well played, especially the part of the big brother, James Marsden, as Tyler. I remember I used to cringe, because he's almost too believable. He plays the evil part really well. If you're under thirteen, this movie is a very good way to fill the afternoon.』
(Kids love it on D-Channel -- hard to find as rental...) 『The Cochran kids have figured out how to control their parents -- even get them to send evil older brother to boarding school. Nice fantasy.』

(THE Definitive Biography of the Man) 『The most comprehensive McCain biography available, Paul Alexander's MAN OF THE PEOPLE: The Maverick Life and Career of John McCain paints a balanced, thoughtful portrait of the man who may be the next President of the United States. Readers, regardless of their political persuasions, will find MAN OF THE PEOPLE a must-read during a Presidential campaign that will clearly be a watershed in American politics and history.
Much of the controversy surrounding John McCain, argues Alexander, is owing to the fact that McCain is a centrist. In his overall political agenda, McCain can be seen as progressive on some issues, conservative on others. In foreign policy, he is neither an isolationist nor one who endorses nation-building. His acknowledgement of the importance of the global community of nations suggests he is less likely to pursue a unilateralism that can spell disaster - the type of unilateralism that drove the Bush administration's war in Iraq.
On the environment, McCain has evolved as a progressive. A skeptic about global warming when he first arrived in Congress, he has evolved over time to become one of the most ardent proponents of initiatives to protect the environment.
On social issues, he has proved harder to define. He has been a steadfast defender of the right to life, yet has repeatedly said he is not in favor of overturning Roe v. Wade. On gay issues, he continues to support "don't ask, don't tell" and opposes gay marriage. Yet he also attacked the Federal Marriage Amendment, a cornerstone of President Bush's reelection platform in 2004.
On fiscal issues, he has proved himself to be a conservative - at least to a point. He endorses the fundamental tenet of fiscal conservatism, which says spend only what you have. But while he supported the tax cuts of the Reagan administration, he opposed the Bush administration's tax cuts because they gave too much to the most fortunate among us and too little to those who need tax relief most. A cornerstone of his political career has been his fight against government waste and pork-barrel spending; curtailing both, he believes, could help bring into line a federal budget that is currently out of control.
Among the many issues MAN OF THE PEOPLE explores are:
* New information about the campaign staff shake-up last summer that saved McCain's faltering presidential bid, and how the shake-up forced him to make the agonizing decision to fire longtime friend and political adviser John Weaver. * How McCain's career shifted from a stalwart Reaganite to a moderate, independent Republican whose focus has been campaign finance reform, gun control, and environmental issues. * Why Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter hate John McCain and how the conservative base of the Republican Party's distaste for McCain will affect the general election this November. * A new analysis of how, for much of the presidency of George W. Bush, McCain has fought hard in the United States Senate to undermine a large part of the Bush agenda, undercutting any claims to be made in the upcoming presidential race that a McCain presidency would represent a continuation of Bush policies. * The most extensive examination to date of the character assassination of John and Cindy McCain carried out by Karl Rove during the 2000 South Carolina primary, which led one top McCain aide to call the 2000 Presidential race "the dirtiest race I've ever seen." * His military career from his days at the Naval Academy to his time as a POW, and the profound hatred for war that emerged from his wartime experiences.
Alexander says that, ultimately, McCain is virtually impossible to pigeonhole as he, more often than not, strives for the middle ground, which is why he so often teams up with Democrats to produce meaningful legislation that can be passed by Congress and signed into law. His affinity for the common ground, his desire to govern from a consensus, is what makes him appealing to Independents as well as mainstream Republicans. A centrist, not just on foreign policy but also on domestic policy, he is running for president to return the country to the middle of the political spectrum. 』
(Paul Alexander is a Bitter Hillbot) 『Okay, I haven't read the book, but just listening to this guy being interviewed is painful enough. He's a Hillary Clinton supporter who claims to be a lifelong democrat, yet he'll only vote for Obama if Clinton is on the ticket, otherwise he'll vote for McCain. He sounds like a very bitter Hillbot who only wrote the book to take votes away from Obama. I can't imagine him thinking he'd be successful. I feel sorry for people like this. They should all just move to Kansas and cry on each other's shoulders 24/7.』 『Praise for Man of the People
"Among the many legends who have made America great stands John McCain. Man of the People, Revised and Updated lyrically tells his quintessentially American story: a seemingly ordinary man doing extraordinarily heroic and selfless things--out of a pure devotion to his country. This dynamic biography shows why it's easy to imagine him among the ranks of Jefferson, Lincoln, Roosevelt, and Reagan, who led America with such daring and wisdom. McCain's life is so organically American, so true to the legacies of the leaders who preceded him, that the greatest chapter of his story is still to be written." --Monica Crowley, panelist, The McLaughlin Group; host, The Monica Crowley Show
"John McCain is a real man. By that I mean he has faults and weaknesses like anybody else. But he has supplemented those with a ferocious courage and intensity. Paul Alexander brings McCain's life to life in a way the reader will never forget." --Bill O'Reilly, anchor, The O'Reilly Factor
"Man of the People, Revised and Updated is nothing short of the definitive text on what makes John McCain tick. The complexity of this man is not well understood--unless you read this book. Alexander's must-read chapter on the infamous 2000 South Carolina primary--'The Dirtiest Race I've Ever Seen'--is the most comprehensive telling to date of that sad moment in our politics." --Craig Crawford, Washington journalist, cqpolitics.com
"If I were looking for a politician to clean the corporate pigsty, it would be John McCain. In Man of the People, Paul Alexander artfully captures the drive, the integrity, and the tenacity that make John McCain such a one-of-a-kind politician." - Arianna Huffington, cofounder and Editor in Chief, The Huffington Post』

Wide distribution of the book to thoughtful Americans will assure that she remains in Alaska.』
(Buyer beware) 『I love Palin. It feels someone took advantage of that by throwing together this pathetic little booklet and charging ten bucks for it. Oh well, buyer beware, as the saying goes. The acceptance speech brought tears to me as I can relate to Palin on so many levels and find her candor and focus so refreshing. I hope we see more of her in the years to come.』
(THIS WOMAN IS FABULOUS) 『She is fabulous! This will tell you the truth about Sarah Palin. It will inspire you to love America! She is a woman of action! Believe it!! READ THIS FABULOUS BOOK!』
(Great Collectors Item) 『This book is a great collectors item. I even didn't heard that additional Radio Address. She means what she says, she says what she means, and does what she says she is going to do. I can highly recommend it to anyone who wants a fresh view of what can be done in America ...』 『The printed edition for Collectors: Original transcript of Sarah Palin's Convention Speech 2008 and the First Weekly Radio Address』
