(Save Your Money) 『As a McCain addict, I was so disappointed. Too much screeching, wailing, ... I just couldn't take it. Needs to get back to his roots.』
(Edwin's tribute to Southern Soul - Yes, he COULD have been in Earth, Wind and Fire!) 『It has been a while since Edwin has given us an album that showcases the rasp and rage and rumble of his voice and the depth of his musical roots. Born in Greenville, SC and steeped in his early performance days in Charleston, SC (with friends like Darius Rucker of Hootie and The Blowfish hitting the radio airwaves about the same time), Edwin has gone back to his roots and the music of his heart with this CD, and it shows in the final product.
Ed is more than a balladeer and more than a "two trick pony." This is the perfect album for a summer drive, a quiet night at home with someone you like, or as background music for a late summer barbeque or beachside bonfire. If you aren't swaying in your seat or bouncing around the family room with your kids by the fourth track, turn it up! All of us raised below the Mason-Dixon line (and many above!) will appreciate the production of this album, its mix of pop hits and little-known gems, and the unique but subtle re-working of these southern soul classics.
In this effort, an accomlished singer-songwriter has looked in the rearview mirror and honored those songwriters that gave him roots and wings. Pour the sweet tea (or Southern Comfort!), take your shoes off, and wiggle your toes in the warmth of this musical gift. It will be one of my favorites for years to come.
Thanks, Edwin, for making this ride as sweet, sweaty and soulful as ever.』
(Great vocals) 『Edwin has a wonderful voice with a wide range. The band is awesome as well. Just saw him live, a great show....try not to miss it!』
(Goove Daddy has it right!) 『I couldn't agree more with what Groove Daddy has said about "Nobody's Fault But Mine". Read his review for the best details about this album. Those of us who are ole timey fans of EMB know all too well that Edwin has been grooving soulfully for years, but this particular album affords him the opportunity to spotlight the very music that sparked the musician in him from the start. What a gift, to be able to rejoice, revisit, and revive the creations that first gave you life! In this, Edwin does these treasures justice, and all those involved do their best work. If you say you are disappointed, you ain't got no soul baby! This is SOUL at it's best, but of course, we have been spoiled by EMB for years. We expect no less from our guys. They have out done themselves, thanks guys! If I were the original artists I could not be more honored by what these talented folks have put together. I can't help but say, if you aren't an Edwin fan, there MUST be something wrong with you. Drop your preconceived notions, close your eyes, open your ears, your mind, your heart, and you can't help but enjoy!!!』 『Acclaimed singer/songwriter Edwin McCain's formula of earnest soul vocals over acoustic-led folk-rock has earned him a Top 5 Hit, a Top 40 Hit and another Top 100 Hit.

After reading many favorable reviews for Scream&Wisper on Amazon, we happily purchased the CD, thinking it would be simular to Messenger. It's not. Scream&Wisper is mostly loud pounding music. After hearing it one time, we were so disappointed we tossed it.』
(Scream&Whisper-Edwin McCain) 『Excellent CD from Edwin. He is one of the under-rated musicians/songwriters of our time. This CD has some great tracks - my favorite is Shooting Stars.』
(Not my favorite, but still awesome...) 『Edwin McCain is a master. Most people only know him as "that guy who sings "I'll Be" on Dawson's Creek." But he is much much more then that, he is a skilled musician that I have been lucky enough to see live twice. This CD is definitely good, and while its not my favorite EMB CD, its much better then most of the mainstream junk today. I'm definitely surprised Edwin didn't have atleast a top 40 hit with "Say Anything" (for all you first time listeners and "I'll Be" lovers, it will probably be your favorite track). Also the song "Couldn't Love You More" is a really good song for anyone who has ever been in a relationship that pretty much everybody was skeptical of. My favorite song on the CD is the risky "White Crosses" which tells the story of a truck full of illegal immigrants from Mexico being killed in Texas. The song is extremely compassionate and its obvious that Edwin is way above writing meaningless songs. If you're a hardcore Ed head, of course you're going to buy the CD and its definitely worth it. For the non-Edwin fans, if your looking for "I'll Be", theres a really good acoustic version of it on the CD titled "Messenger" ;-)』
(McCain Back with more unbelievable music) 『Screams&Wisphers is another great CD from Edwin McCain and his band. The song Couldnt love you more is a great song for lovers that have ever had doubters about there love, Edwin McCain is in my opinion one of the best singer song writers out, the way he makes you feel the songs and stories with his words is something only true artist can do. Not a big radio artist but that keeps him grounded and not caught up in the HOLLYWOOD sell out that so many of these so called artist give into - A great cd by a great artist and worth twice the price the sticker has on it, nothing Edwin McCain puts out is bad, if your a true fan of REAL music youll love anything Edwin McCain puts out』
(I WAS EXPECTING A LOT BETTER THAN THIS!) 『To say this was a dissapointment is an understatement. By track three i wondering if this was the same Edwin McCain that had made the masterful 'misguided roses' because this is so BLAND! it really was a struggle to listen to the whole thing and keeo my eyes opened-radio friendly isn't the word! I guess some of the signs were showing in the tinsel and tap shoes dvd with the ultra slushy 'couldn't love you more' and 'shooting stars' what do you get as a bonus track a version of 'maggie may' so close to the original as not to make a difference! The whole point of a cover is to do your own interpetation not a note for note re-run! So what has happened in the past years to make someone as talented as McCain heap this non-entity on his fans? Well giving Pete Riley a stab at songwriting both on his own and with McCain shows a possible drying up of ideas, because Riley's songs wouldn't be out of place on a latter day Fleetwood Mac album- they are that uninspired and there is hardly any barintone sax which always added to the songs and do i hear the dreaded drum machine in the mix? Come on Edwin a couple of half way decent songs on your new album is pushing the mark a bit. I for one will view the next album with a great deal of aprehension!』

(Awesome!) 『This DVD is a lot of fun. Lots of new songs (well, they were new when the DVD came out) and some different versions of the songs we love. If you love Edwin you'll love this DVD. We put it on and play it through the surround sound like a cd. I listened to this the entire time I was pregnant and now my son is soothed when he hears Edwin songs. I wish Edwin would make this DVD in CD version so I can play it in my car.』
(All Edwin Fans should add to your collection...) 『Edwin is a great songwriter/storyteller/musicain. Live at the House of Blues is a very good DVD. Edwin has a loyal following, and if you are just a casual fan, you might be converted to the Edwin Army after you view this. While I am sure some fans would like to have their Edwin favorite tune included on this DVD, lets face it, there just isn't enough time to get them all in one show or DVD. With 14 performance songs and 5 additional tunes on the bonus CD, this is a great DVD/CD to experience what a loyal group of followers already know. Edwin can sing a story!
Edwin picked a place not to far from home in a venue that showcases his strenghts well. I enjoy the banter between songs. The band is always excellent. Most of these folks have been playing with him for quite some time. They are tight. Pete Riley does a fine job on backing vocals.
As far as song selection, just because it doesn't have several I would have loved to hear/see, i.e "Go Be Young", and "What Matters", I am not going to count that (see remark above). My choice for favs on the DVD are My Mystery (The opening tune), I'll Be, and Maggie May.
If there is one little thing to nit pick, it would be the quality of the camera work on the DVD. There are some jump cuts and the far shots of the band playing make it not as crisp as I might have expected. Again, I am a fan, not a producer/camera person. It is something that just strikes me, and I am probably alone in that.
Botton line is this is a excellent purchase. Even better, if you have a chance to see Edwin live, by all means do it. Either way, you will want the DVD. It is a fine representation of what The Edwin McCain band is and how fine of concert they perform.』
(Awesome companion to Scream&Whisper CD) 『 Scream and Whisper is awesome, but if you haven't gotten the new DVD, "Tinsel&Tap Shoes," you are missing out. The DVD is the answer for everyone who has been asking for a LIVE CONCERT on DVD. And to make it better... there is a bonus audio CD in the same package. Get S&W first... then buy the DVD. Don't pass go&don't collect $200.
This DVD was filmed over 2 days at the House of Blues, N. Myrtle Beach... one of my favorite Edwin venues. BOTH nights were magical, and they picked the best-of-the-best for this DVD. IF you have never seen Edwin and the band LIVE, this will give you a HINT of what you can expect to hear and see in person. You will NOT regret buying this DVD!!!!

(Buy This DVD - You Won't Be Sorry!!!) 『Once in a decade or so comes a talent this huge. That Edwin McCaine can write from such a world-weary perspective belies his age. Song after song, his words touch the heart, bringing forth tears of both joy and sadness. And that's just the lyrics.
The voice. How can it be that one so young can sing with so much soul? Song after song, delivering just the right emotion to drive his poetry home. The perfect balance of melody and driving soul.
Don't for a moment try to group Edwin's music in with the talentless, marketing packages that are so prevalent these days. His talent eclipses any 50 of these combined!
On to the DVD. I found this to be an excellent sampler of Edwin's music. His band consistently kicks out the songs, with nary a wrong note. Personal favorites are "Coming Down" and "Shooting Stars". The high point of the DVD is "Beautiful Life", in which Edwin's band cuts loose.
If I had anything to complain about, it would be that though every song is delivered impeccably, the band plays it all a little too safe for my tastes. the exception is the aforementioned "Beautiful Life" which shows what they're capable of. I only wished they'd stretched like that on a few more songs.
So, if you haven't hit the "Buy Now" button yet, go ahead and do it - you won't be sorry. While you're at it, pick out a few of his CD's. There's nary a bad one in the bunch - a further testament to the talent of this young man!』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Only one Good Thing about this release...) 『When Back to the Future came out as a Trilogy Box Set on DVD i was very disappointed. The picture quality is very good, the sound.... but.... Come one... Where are the individual Boxes with original Cover Art? For me this release is the only thing good that has... But in my opinion, picking up these movies to watch, i pick the Letterbox Edition on Laserdisc and most of the times the Muse Hi-Vision Laserdisc Edition and watch them in 1080i Full HD. The DVD or even Blu Ray cannot match the Laserdisc Cover Art... besides those are the Original Ones. Much better than DVD, natural and original colors, and it's the Best way to watch Back to the Future until now...
Let's see what Blu Ray brings to us, but i am expecting HOT Picture and Sound!! :)』
(I'M BACK TO THE 80'S!!!!) 『Una de las mejores peliculas de ciencia-ficción y comedia que he visto de la pasada decada de los 80s, donde teniamos esos grandes actorazos como Mr. Fox, quien da rienda suelta a uno de sus mejores personajes, el joven McFly (Alias "Clavin Klein" o "Lewis Strauss, como le llaman en los años 50s); una trama que te mantiene amarrado al asiento desde que comienza la pelicula, y que llega a una problematica tal que te pican los dedos por saber como va a terminar toda esa situación: el problema del joven que accidentalmente viaja en un auto DeLorean convertido en maquina del tiempo hacia los años 50s, donde conoce a sus padres siendo jovenes y al involucrarse en sus vidas pone en peligro su propio futuro, teniendo que buscar al cientifico que le envio al pasado (asumiendo que existe, aunque no esta tan viejo en la actualidad) para resolver su situacion y regresarlo al "presente"; un viaje al pasado, a la nostalgia y a esas buenas peliculas ochenteras que te dejan un magnifico sabor de boca.』
(back to the future) 『Always enjoy the nostalgia of the first one since I was born in 1955. O.k. for kids except for language. Not thrilled when people use "for God's sake sake" or "God's sake" unnecessarily. The trilogy is fun to watch back-to-back.』
(Back to The Future) 『I have Back To the Future Dvd(double disc,2nd disc with special features) I should have brought the trilogy but I got the special edition, However, I can't Complain, The Movie is awesome, I grew up to this movie as a child of the eighties, and is one of the best movies of the Era.』
(This editions review (not of the movie, of the extras)) 『On this release of the great BTTF movie, you get a 2 disc edition with extra features never released on DVD, nor even on the 4 disc region 4 release.
Obviously the movie is there, it was always good quality and great 5.1 sound on the rest of the editions, and nothing has changed for this one. Now included is a whole heap of new extras.
There is an Audio Commentary from Bob Gale and Niel Canton. It is an actual commentary now, not just the Q&A audio that played to the movie, or separately as audio depending on which edition you had, that other one is still on here, but this 2nd commentary is brand new, not a re-run.
As far as I can tell, all the extras from the other editions are still here. I own a heap of copies of different releases for this movie, and I get a little confused with what was on what; but I know the American fans will be pleased that extra deleted scenes that where only viewable on the region 4 bonus disc (4th disc) are now included in this release. In particular, the full version of the scene when Doc is asked if he has a permit, and Marty wonders if he will go home gay. It's a great and funny scene.
Also included is the footage of the back to the future ride that used to be at Universal Studios. I went on that ride in 1993, and it was great to see it again. It has two videos for the ride, the first one is the video you would watch while waiting in line for the ride. It's like a news cast and security camera video telling you about Doc's 1 day ride into the future (fictional) and the second video is what you actually saw when on the ride as you chase Biff Tannin through time. Just take not that the ride itself, you sat in a 6 seat Delorean and it moved and rocked around, so it may lose some translation while your sitting on your butt.
If your not particularly interested in bonus features at all, and just watch the thing for the movie, then there is no reason to pick this version up. If you are like me, and love anything you can find of BTTF, you will enjoy this one. It's not just another cash-in release, it does actually have brand new features to enjoy.』 『Dr. Emmett Brown: Then tell me, "future boy," who is president in the United States in 1985? Marty McFly: Ronald Reagan. Dr. Brown: Ronald Reagan? The actor?! Who's vice president? Jerry Lewis?
Filmmaker Robert Zemeckis topped his breakaway hitRomancing the Stonewith this joyous comedy with a dazzling hook: what would it be like to meet your parents in their youth? Billed as a special-effects comedy, the imaginative film (the top box-office smash of 1985) has staying power because of the heart behind Zemeckis and Bob Gale's script. High schooler Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox, during the height of his TV success) is catapulted back to the '50s where he sees his parents in their teens, and accidentally changes the history of how Mom and Dad met. Filled with the humorous ideology of the '50s, filtered through the knowledge of the '80s (actor Ronald Reagan is president, ha!), the film comes off as aTwilight Zoneepisode written by Preston Sturges. Filled with memorable effects and two wonderfully off-key, perfectly cast performances: Christopher Lloyd as the crazy scientist who builds the time machine (a DeLorean luxury car) and Crispin Glover as Marty's geeky dad. Followed by two sequels.--Doug Thomas』

Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Poignant Film) 『Insightful movie as to how and why we enter all these unnecessary wars. If you're not a fan of history already, compelling evidence that the more you know the more skeptical you will be. The U.S. is seldom the altruistic protector of civil liberties we portray ourselves to be; more often war is financially and politically motived, complete with propoganda financed by the military-industrial complex, and financed by us shills....er...I mean loyal citizens.』
(Must see documentary!) 『I've seen many documentaries, most of them very well done. However, Why We Fight stands above them all. It is extremely well done and raises engaging concise points of debate. As with many mainstream documentaries, there is a slight bias. But the director has clearly gone out of his way to find compelling interviews with both sides of the argument. I would highly recommend this film whether you are pro or anti war. I'm sure that this movie will be referenced much more often in the future in the ongoing "fight for freedom."』
(Unethical use of emotion to make an argument) 『When it stuck to data it was compelling. It lost credibility with the personal tales of the guy who lost his son and the female soldier. Yes, there is ample opportunity for greed in military contracting. True, not everyone is ethical. Yes, there are probably motivations which we can only speculate on, and it is frustrating that some real issues are not discussed openly. But for these two people to either profess or feign their ignorance that these are complicated issues, does not interest me. If your are going to ask me to sit for a presentation, please present ideas that are going to teach us something, not that some average joe was duped. I don't want to hear about them. I feel bad for this guy, but tying his pain into this was a bad way to make a rational argument. I was filled with dread, when we went into Afghanistan. I was heartbroken when we went into Iran. I was also furious when we went into Serbia, to wag the dog for Clinton. Listing McCain on it was also very cheap. He is so peripheral to the main theme that it is infuriating to see his name listed. He must be very frustrated over this as he makes only the most general statements which have little to do with the beginning of the film and nothing to do with the end. Why doesn't somebody make a movie about something worth debating, instead of this conspiracy theory nonsense. Example: Should the U.S. maintain a significant presence in foreign lands for the purposes securing strategic resources, in the presence of unstable governments which lack popular support and freedom for their people? There is something to talk about. Maybe its not sexy enough for Mr. Jareki, but at least it is a tangible and open issue, that nobody can deny exists. Start there!』
(Failure to Heed Eisenhower's Warning) 『Eugene Jereki's Why We Fight starts with Eisenhower's farewell speech to the nation in 1961 in which he warned Americans to be vigilent concerning the rapid growth of the military-industrial complex. Today he posits that failure to heed the warning has led to the war in Iraq and a return of American imperialism.
While Jereki makes his argument in a cogent manner, my problem with the film is that it does not really say anything new. We have heard these arguments before. Most natably from Michael Moore in recent years. We know that there was double dealing on the part of the military contractors, we know that today's society makes it easier to go to war than it had in the past, we know that Congress has made deals with major corporations for profit what we don't know is how to solve any of these problems. One good thing about the film is that Jereki pushes the idea that a good citizen is an informed citizen and we must all do our parts to stay ever watchful.
I viewed the standard definition disc. The picture and sound quality are quite good as expected for a Sony release. The wealth of special features include extended and deleted scenes, character profiles, an audience Q&A with Jereki, television interviews and an outstanding commentary track featuring Jereki.』
(Excellent documentary) 『Great movie. I recommend this to anyone and everyone who has any interest in the who's and why's of what has been driving U.S. foreign policy since the beginning of WWII and the direction it's heading.』 『Grand Jury Prize winner at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival WHY WE FIGHT offers a revealing look at how America has readied itself for battle and what compels us to so frequently wage war around the world. Produced in the midst of the second Iraq War documentary filmmaker Eugene Jarecki's WHY WE FIGHT is an unflinching examination of the forces fueling the American military machine for over half a century and their global consequences. The film opens with President Dwight D. Eisenhower's 1961 farewell speech in which he warned Americans of the growing power of the "military industrial complex." Expanding upon Eisenhower's warning Jarecki relies on interviews with American soldiers government officials military insiders defense industry personnel congressman scholars ordinary Iraqis and many others to provide personal political and economic analysis of the last 50 years of U.S. military expansion wars and interventions. What emerges is an eye-opening and often chilling portrait of how political corporate and military interests have become progressively entangled through the business of war.System Requirements:Running Time 99 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DOCUMENTARIES/MISC. Rating: TBD UPC: 043396138940 Manufacturer No: 13894』 『Fans of Oliver Stone'sJ.F.K.will recognize the opening moments of writer-director Eugene Jarecki'sWhy We Fight, in which outgoing President Dwight Eisenhower warns of the pernicious and growing influence of what he called the "military-industrial complex." But Stone's movie, which uses the same footage, was a work of fiction. While those who disagree with the decidedly leftist point of view in this documentary will probably consider it the product of paranoid liberal fantasy as well, there's enough credible material, much of it supplied by the targets of Jarecki's criticisms, to make Eisenhower look like a prophet and everyone else uneasy about the dark confluence of politics, money, and war that controls the country's fortunes. The message here is that while there may be some who sincerely believe that America's various military engagements (in Iraq, Vietnam, Grenada, Panama, and elsewhere) since World War II are the product of our God-given duty to spread freedom and halt the influence of evil ideologies around the world, the real reason we fight is that war is good business. This is hardly a bulletin; anyone who is surprised by allegations that politicians pander to defense contractors, or that Vice President Dick Cheney helped secure huge deals for Halliburton, the company he formerly headed, simply hasn't been paying attention (Politicians lie? How shocking!). In fact, the principal drawback to Jarecki's film is simply that there's nothing particularly revelatory or compelling about it. Only when he takes a personal approach does he go beyond the obvious; the story of a retired New York policeman and former Vietnam veteran whose son died in the World Trade Center, who wanted revenge, but who became seriously disillusioned when Bush admitted that the war in Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11, adds some much needed human interest. Still,Why We Fight, which includes a director's audio commentary track and a few other bonus features, serves as a grim reminder that the world's most powerful nation has strayed far from the principles of our founding fathers, a development that does not bode well for America's future.--Sam Graham』

Not yet released Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Captivating) 『Let me start by saying I wasn't a die-hard Obama supporter, but a little star-struck after he got elected.
With that, this is a fascinating journey of the history in making. I was surprised there is not much pre-planned interviews. It's brilliant how the actual footage speaks for itself. About half-way in the doc, surprised Obama says to the camera "You guys are still here", that shows how this was filmed. The next sentence by Gibbs was -- "they know their movie is going to get better" -- it did get better.
Keep some tissues handy, some scenes made me cry. The 9 year boy on the phone is the most hillarious thing I have seen in a long time, and he almost slams the phone but not quite, pulls the back phone back and says "Have a good day", it is funny.
In the very beginning , Obama says "I love elections, they are so much fun". That for some reason is stuck in memory and it simply describes the whole journey in my opinion.
I can't believe his speech-writer is so young. Gibbs's son scenes are adorable too. Obama girls and the family scenes make everything look so human. Grandma's house and childhood pictures, they show his middle-class back-ground. A scene where he is sleepy,yawning, sitting on a side-walk and then on the cue runs to the stage, it's fascinating. There are so many beautiful moments like that.
There are no inside scoops/gossips/misshaps/opinions/political issues/surprises, and I think it's good thing too. No contrversy, just plain facts some day you would want to see on History channel. Even then it held my interest like a well-made thriller. 』
(The Impossible Dream) 『Most of us who followed Obama throughout his Presidential bid can relate to this film. It is two hours of Obama and those who believed in him and worked with him. It is a film of a dream, and and the dream of everyone looking for change. What I remember most from this documentary is the tears and the surprise that, yes, indeed, we had a historic election and the making of that dream is laid out for all to see.
The two young women, filmmakers Amy Rice and Alicia Sams, with the assistance of actor, Ed Norton have given us a film to renew our faith in change. Rice and Sams began following Obama a year before he became a presidential candidate, when he was a new senator from Illinois who had made a celebrated speech at the 2004 Democratic Convention and seemed worth looking at. And, then they got caught up in the primaries and the election of Barack Obama as President of the United States. I did not learn much that was new. Nothing about Barack Obama is revealed that we did not know. It is a documentary about a man running for President. Early on we feel the idealism and energy that permeated the campaign. We are also privy to the prejudice of some of our brothers and sisters.
The campaign workers are filled with the dream of change, the speech writer John Favreau, who understood that Obama was a better writer than he was, but persevered anyway to deliver. Michelle Obama's charms are on display, and we understand how much her personality and honesty bring to the man who would be president. There is a great deal of realism here as we follow Obama from his first win in Iowa to New Hampshire where a win was almost a certainty, until it wasn't. We see the interplay between Hillary and Obama, the crowds who gathered in New Hampshire and the waiting behind the scene for the event to begin. What we don't see is the emotion of the campaign, the stories behind the story. Certainly the filmmakers had great access, but not to the inner sanctum. The mistakes and the swearing and the failures and the disappointment we are not privy too. That is a large part of what I wanted to know and it was not there. One of the most enjoyable scenes is with nine year old Lorenzo Rivera, one of the youngest phone canvassers I have seen. We can feel his palpable frustration with a voter on the phone who was confused about who Obama was and what this young man wanted. He handled it well ending the conversation with "I hope you have a wonderful day." The tears of joy from Ronnie Cho a field campaign organizer who was featured throughout the film,, as he goes to call his Mom to tell her the news: Obama has won the Presidency.
This film was more about the making of a campaign and the fact that Obama was involved gave it emotion, but again the inside the scene was missing. The guts is missing from the glory. Obama was seen as an impossible dream, and we followed those working with and for him to the beginning of the dream as reality.
Highly Recommended. prisrob 11-05-09

(The making of a historic campaign) 『Watching this film one year to the day after the 2008 election, it seemed a bit soon to spend two hours revisiting a campaign that remains so fresh in the mind, but it's still a compelling document that chronicles Obama's rise from semi-obscurity on election night 2006 (when the film begins) to the moment he's officially elected President. The filmmakers were granted incredible access and capture some nice candid moments with the Obama family and the campaign staff, but as the film progresses, there's a noticeable lack of footage showing the day-to-day strategizing that would make this a truly fascinating campaign document; this is not 'The War Room'. Where the film is most effective is in showing the ground game, as staffers organize on the local and statewide level. We follow one young staffer as he bounces from Iowa to several other states, and it's his passion and emotion, culminating in a tearful call to his mother on election night, that provides much of the film's heart. Despite not digging quite as deep as I would have liked, this is a skillfully made and engaging documentary.』
(SO good!) 『I just caught the end of this on HBO and it was absolutely amazing, moving, and made me so proud of our president and the hard work he's faced unwinding the absolute mess he inherited. I can't wait to watch it again in its entirety.』 『Unprecedented behind the scenes access to Senator Obama and the election campaign! Filmmakers follow Senator Obama from the moment he declares his candidacy for President of the United States until his first day in office in this emotional and moving documentary chronicling an epic slice of American history. 』

Kudos to Cheadle for being a voice for those whose story would otherwise still not have been told.』
(A thorough effort to cover the issue) 『If you are interested in international humanitarian efforts, particularly the Darfur crisis - I would say that this is a necessary addition to your research materials - more now than ever as Darfur is in greater crisis since this film was made.
Since early March 2009, a warrant was recently issued by the ICC for the arrest of Omar Al-Bashir - President of Sudan, and many humanitarian aid organizations have since been booted out of the country leaving millions on the edge of imminent danger. (see more: http://sebiart.blogspot.com/2009/03/urgent-report-on-darfur-you-too-from.html)
This dvd thoroughly covers the history of the problem in Darfur, following six different individuals around the world, and their involvement in the liberation of the civilian population. There is ample information here about the ICC (international criminal court) and their investigations into crimes against humanity. It also shows Don Cheadle and George Clooney's very earnest and active roles in attempting to bring worldwide awareness to this VERY pressing issue.
I originally rented this video and then bought it as I felt it was timeless and invaluable reference material for my library; and as documentary DVDs go - this is incredibly affordable.』
(Great Documentary!) 『This is a totally different documentary about Darfur! Most are told from an interview perspective, but this documentary, from the perspectives of six different individuals from different countries and walks of life, is a great resource for anyone wanting to know more about Darfur.』

(See people at social action work) 『Darfur is one of todays often overlooked nightmares. See six people trying to do something about the problem.』 『Making a difference. Now. This acclaimed inspiring documentary follows six people who are striving to end the suffering in Sudan?s war-ravaged Darfur. The six ? an American activist an international prosecutor a Sudanese rebel a sheikh a leader of the World Food Program and Don Cheadle who traverses the globe with fellow actor George Clooney to pressure world leaders ? demonstrate the power of one individual to make extraordinary changes. Be an eyewitness to the tragedy and the triumphs the fear and the pride. Meet the refugees determined to return to their beloved homeland. And discover how you too can make a difference.Running Time: 90 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DOCUMENTARIES/HISTORY UPC: 085391187295 Manufacturer No: 118729』 『Hard to watch but impossible to turn away from,Darfur Nowaims to educate, illuminate, and, most of all, motivate viewers to somehow get involved in bringing the calamitous situation in that African land to an end. Some basic facts are provided at the beginning of writer-director Theodore Braun's 98-minute documentary: Located in western Sudan, Darfur, a region about the size of France with a population of six million, has been in a state of severe crisis since 2003, when non-Arabs rebelled against the Muslim government. Working in tandem with the dread Janjaweed (literally "devils on horseback") to wipe out the rebels, military forces have enacted a relentless and systematic genocide that has resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths, with millions more displaced. The film then focuses on six individuals and their roles in the conflict. Luis Moreno-Ocampo, prosecutor for the International Criminal Court, works to collect evidence to use against the Sudanese authorities; Adam Sterling, a young American enraged by the lack of world response to the crisis, campaigns in California to pass legislation to force companies with interests in Sudan to divest; Pablo Recalde of the West Darfur World Food Program strives to provide food and save lives; Ahmed Mohammad Abakar, chief sheikh at a camp for displaced persons in Darfur, tries to rally his people; Hejewa Adam, a female rebel, trains to fight the Janjaweed; and actor-author Don Cheadle uses his celebrity (as well as George Clooney's) to raise public and official awareness of the situation. (The Sudanese government is represented by its U.N. ambassador, an unctuous individual who complains that the West has "over-dramatized" the situation.) These efforts are not without their successes: Sterling gets his bill passed, Recalde's food gets distributed, and Ocampo brings charges against two Sudanese officials (a largely hollow gesture, as the government refuses to surrender them). Beautifully filmed and edited, with multiple stories taking place on several fronts,Darfur Nowplays more like a fictional drama than a documentary. But it's all too real, of course. "We must be patient until the white people come," says one of the rebels. It's a poignant, slightly pathetic statement, but unless that happens, this story will have no happy ending.--Sam Graham』

(Great and Important Story) 『This is a great lesson and beautifully written. Children of today need to know there is a difference in helping each other, when reporting or being afraid comes to mind. The lesson is clear in this book.』
(Important For All To Read) 『This book is very important for all to read. It holds the key to teaching children and adults the difference in telling on someone or actually reporting a problem.

(For All Ages -) 『This book is rated among the timeless and yet it is VERY TIMELY for this period of our lives.

The author is at the top of the list for the very best of authors in Childrens' Books!』
(Wonderful) 『This book is literally"timeless"for all ages, especially for adults as well as children. It should be placed in school and church libraries, and discussed over and over again for making certain understanding is there. The Publishers should keep this book out front for many, many years.』 『Straightforward and simple, this story tells how one child found the courage to tell a teacher about Ray, who was being picked on and bullied by other kids in school. Faced with the fact that "nobody knows what to do" while Ray is bullied, the children sympathetic to him feel fear and confusion and can only hope that Ray will "fit in some day." Finally, after Ray misses a day of school and the bullies plot mean acts for his return, our narrator goes to a teacher. The children then invite Ray to play with them, and, with adult help, together they stand up to the bullies.』

Ingrained behaviors that once kept them alive now had no place, and civilians (even family) often denied them the emotional safety needed to express their pain and trauma so that they could come to a place of healing.
The first part of the book breaks down the various adventures in Odysseus and shows how each demonstrates an experience or coping behavior of military personal who have returned from war. (A summary version of the epic poem is provided in the appendix for those who haven't read it lately.) The author then gives examples of similar problems and coping behaviors that he's seen in his work with Vietnam veterans with severe PTSD.
The second part of the book briefly discusses several methods the author has successfully used to help restore veterans with severe PTSD to healthy, useful lives.
The last part of the book shows how the current military practices (in organization and incentives) could be changed to help prevent PTSD while also making our forces more effective as fighting units. Frankly, I was appalled to discover that some effective, life-saving military organizational practices were discarded for very petty reasons. I hope things have changed in this regard since 2002.
The author has a very different worldview than I do. He believes that war and subsequent coping behavior come from how we evolved. He also seems to believe that all religions are equally able to help veterans cope with their feelings of guilt. Because of our different worldviews, I was not entirely convinced by several of his conclusions throughout the book.
Overall, this book was interesting and easy to read. The veteran's story's were often heart-rending. This book was a valuable source of information about the struggles of Vietnam veterans, some ways these struggles can be won, and some ways PTSD can be prevented in future generations of military personal. I'd recommend this book to anyone who has served in the military during a war (though there may be better books out there for those who are actually struggling with severe PTSD) or to anyone who wants a better understanding of what Vietnam veterans went through upon their return from war.

(Should be required reading for all NCOs and family support) 『This book is wonderful. Coming back from Iraq my girlfriend could only quietly accept my sudden anger at 'little old ladies' who got too close to me with their shopping carts in the megamall. But with her quiet acceptance on so many things changed about me, there were still small fights between us when I could not go out with her friends (who I felt were shallow and petty... Odysseus' attitude toward the rich civilians) or why I hated to drive downtown, and how our sex life was really going through the motions and so on and so forth. So many things in this book are mirrored in my own life and the lives of friends who have come back with me. So many of our behaviors and attitudes and great anger are accepted at first by friends and loved ones but they grow tired of us quickly and do not understand why we cannot change back into the people we were before the war.
Every NCO is charged with taking care of his/her men. NCOs mentor and guide the troops under their care. Read this book and talk to your troops. Read this book and talk to your families. Every deploying unit should buy this book and give it to the spouses left behind, that they can read it while the deployment lasts, that they can talk about it and be ready for the changed men and women we will be after coming back home.
We cannot entertain ourselves and distract ourselves from the fact that our troops are coming back changed. The hard-won lessons learned from world wars 1 and 2 in the care of combat stress were utterly forgotten in treating those coming back from Vietnam and a nation said 'never again'. Yet those hard won lessons on what combat stress are and how to deal with it were, again, thrown out and we are having to learn it all again. Thank you to the veterans of past wars, my heroes, who have stepped up with their stories to welcome me back and to guide me back through my own homecoming.

(Returning Veterans) 『As those of us who live and work with war trauma know, for many, the Vietnam War is not over.Jonathan Shay writes: "The Vietnam veterans that I have worked with were treated shabbily by both the political right - who scorned them as 'losers'...and by the political left, who held them responsible for everything vile or wrongheaded that led us into the war, was done during the war, or came after the war." I encountered a similar situation in my work with Russian veterans of their war in Afghanistan. Dr. Shay's book provides his readers with valuable insights into the challenges facing soldiers returning from a controversial war.His book is a must read for those who care about the mental and physical health and well being of our returning veterans. Anngwyn St.Just Ph.D. Director of the Arizona Center for Social Trauma and author of " Relative Balance in an Unstable World:The Search for New Models for Trauma Education and Recovery ( 2006 Carl-Auer Verlag, Heidelberg)』 『
In this ambitious follow-up toAchilles in Vietnam,Dr. Jonathan Shay uses theOdyssey,the story of a soldier's homecoming, to illuminate the pitfalls that trap many veterans on the road back to civilian life. Seamlessly combining important psycho- logical work and brilliant literary interpretation with an impassioned plea to renovate American military institutions, Shay deepens our understanding of both the combat veteran's experience and one of the world's greatest classics.』
