(Great New Songs from Edwin McCain) 『I love Edwin McCain and this album really gives them a chance to branch out from their ballads that have been so popular from the last albums. Even so I think that the best song is Write Me a Song, a ballad in the I'll Be tradition, complete with a very memorable chorus. This album is refreshing with all of it's experimental music styles that have not been the norm. Rock, to ballads, to Gosple. I'm always happy to hear new stuff by Edwin McCain, and I can't wait for their new live album.』
(Terrible, Horrible, Awful) 『I've been a McCain fan for quite some time...and, this album is terrible. I'm sorry, but it is. It's horrible. Honor Among Thieves and Misguided Roses showcased Edwin's songwriting and singing talents...Messenger seemed like a rushed album meant to cash in on the the pop success of"I'll Be."Fine, whatever...at least it's not this album, which is just terrible. I don't know what happened to Edwin's songwriting capabilities, and to his penchant for creating catchy and memorable melodies...but this album has no memorable songs, except for maybe"Hearts Fall,"which like"I'll Be"could be the theme for just about any romantic comedy produced in the last 5 years. All I can say Edwin, is what happened to the passion and self-introspection that inspired such amazing songs as"Tip of my Tongue"and"Alive"???』
(Great album, but not MY favorite) 『I'm a huge fan of Edwin McCain, I've had all his albums at least twice (I end up losing them since I take them everywhere). This album is certainly not a disappointment. Many of the songs will strike an emotional chord in the deepest of us, others are just good fun to listen to. There is more rock and roll style songs on this than many fans will be used to, but they're all a blast to listen to. "Write Me A Song" and "I've Seen Love" are my favorites from this one. There are also a couple satirical songs - much like "Beautiful Life" from 'Messenger. Though 'Messenger' is still my favorite McCain album, I would never pass this one up. There is no reason why any Edwin McCain fan would not like this one.』
(Sadly disappointing) 『As a longtime fan of Edwin McCain, I couldn't wait to buy this CD. Unfortunately, it was painful to listen to. This sounds nothing like the Edwin McCain I know and love. It's full of songs about drug addiction, hitting bottom, and has a real grunge feel to it. I regret buying it.』 『Edwin McCain developed a loyal following the day he stepped out on the stage back in 1991, supporting pals Hootie&the Blowfish on their debut tour and giving his Southern brethren a run for their ticket money. McCain has since developed a strong following for his own brand of unvarnished heartland rock. With his fourth album, the South Carolina native returns to the familiar landscape ofMisguided RosesandMessenger, with his sublimely infectious melodies and anthemic choruses inhabiting the territory once claimed by the Doobie Brothers and Lee Michaels in the '70s. While first hailed as an acoustic balladeer, McCain and his band have expanded their parameters, ably careening from genre to genre with gusto. They are equally at home whipping up some thunder on a barn burner such as "Get Out of This Town" as they are getting sentimental with "Write Me a Song" and the graceful "Hearts Fall," both of which feature vocals by McCain pal Shawn Colvin. This latest offering is less polished than earlier works, perhaps due to the fact that it was coproduced by the band and Neil Young engineer Greg Archilla. But that roughhewn quality adds an emotional honesty and depth to the songs.--Jaan Uhelszki』

(Expressive) 『The album and the content are both lyrically and musically superb. If I were to have a complaint it would be that the recording was pushed to, and in some cases past the point of clipping. Listener fatigue was present. Other that that, I hope this collection of great music surpassed the bands' expectations. Great job guys!』

(A GREAT EXAMPLE) 『I actually sat my 14-year-old son down to watch this movie with me, not because of all the Luvy-Duvy stuff, though the plot was very cute... ...But more because I really wanted my son to see young Black adults as successful and professional people with goals and aspirations, and the kind of life and FUN!!!! He can have when he aspires to excellence, for me this movie was a fine display of those things 』
(FIRE&ICE) 『I LOVE BOTH OF THESE ACTORS! THE CHEMISTRY WAS ON TARGET. THE FILM WAS DONE WELL.』
(The Fire Sizzles and the Ice Melts) 『Kadeem Hardison and Lark Voorhies chemistry in this movie was sizzlin. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this movie. I was pleasantly surprised to see so many familiar actors in this movie. It was a good story that was very entertaining. I loved watching their relationship evolve from initially dislike to love. It was good to see Tempestt Bledsoe back on screen and I enjoyed her character Pam. This is a love story that I can watch over and over again and not grow tired.』

I pretty much disliked the film, but for Disney it must have been an adventure in semi-realism?』

(80's Movies Fan) 『TEX was a great Movie,I own THE DVD..A must See IF You're Matt Dillon's Fan :)
』
(Well made and sincere coming of age movie) 『Tex is a 15 year old Oklahoma farm boy with more than his fair share of problems .He is being raised by his elder brother in the absence of parents -his mother is dead and his father simply walks away from domestic responsibility .the movie is about how this personable and engaging -but not over bright -teenager strives to make sense of his world .It examines the pains and perils of growing up and Tex 's family life is not a bed of roses .The movie treats of themes untypical of Disney productions --booze, sex, fighting ,class distinction and economic problems ,school problems and the sudden need to grow up and assume responsibility more quickly than most . This is both the appeal and the problem of the movie-it is an adult look at children's lives and treats the issues seriously ,but tries to cram too much into a brief running time .Consequently the picture feels slightly overcooked and issue heavy . Still it is splendidly acted especially by Matt Dillon as Tex and by Meg tilly as his girl friend This is awarm hearted but not a sappy movie and its honesty ,sincerity and skill commend it to me ,but a little less plot would have made it better』
(living in bixby, ok.) 『it was such fun to go back and see how much bixby has changed in 24 years. even though a few things are still there, most are gone now, as one person said, by the flood of 1986. the university towers, the round building they go into for the drug transaction is where my jr.-sr. prom was held in 1977. it was a good feeling just to recognize thee places and bring back great memories from the old days..』 『This unassuming little coming-of-age drama features Matt Dillon in the title role as a sweet, slightly dim teenager living with his older brother Mason (Jim Metzler) in a rural Oklahoma town. With an absentee father and a deceased mom, the two eke out a marginal existence; things get desperate enough for Mason to sell his and Tex's horses to have enough money for groceries. Mason is ready to graduate high school and has his sights set on Indiana University and a basketball scholarship; he has little patience for his younger brother and his antics, feeling like he has to babysit him to keep him out of trouble. Tex's partner-in-mischief is Johnny (Emilio Estevez), while Johnny's sister Jamie (Meg Tilly) is the object of Tex's crush. The two live under the stern eye of their authoritarian dad (Ben Johnson), foiling any ideas Tex may have about Jamie. If this film seems reminiscent ofThe Outsiders, it's because it's similarly based on an S.E. Hinton novel; its tone and mood also calls to mind early-'80s kid dramas such asBreaking AwayandMy Bodyguard. It's a quiet little movie, capturing the boredom and tedium of small-town life nicely, with good characterizations and early roles by the Brat Pack. Dillon helped define himself early on with troubled-teen roles, and this is a fine example.Texis also notable because it was one of the first adult dramas to come from Disney Studios.--Jerry Renshaw』

As a person who is big on historical accuracy i couldnt stand to watch this movie. I would love to know where soldiers were getting their ammunition as none of them were wearing any cartridge boxes. One of the Union Soldiers was was wearing an army coat and blue jeans. Most of the battle scenes were fought by diorganized mobs, which never would happen during the civil war. The main character was an Infantry Captain, he was wearing no rank insignia and a wore an enlisted mans uniform. And biggest HE RODE A HORSE! Junior Infantry officers never rode horses unless on staff which he was not. Bad movie in my mind.』
(ALL Civil War History Buffs Will Enjoy This!) 『This film was one of the "suggested" Amazon movies and looked interesting, so I sent for it. I had expected a neat little story, but was truly impressed at how professional this movie was. As a person who is becoming in-depth in Civil War History, I found the situations believable. As a "hobby writer", I found the story wonderfully romantic, acted out with the charm and glamour of that time. A great job was done in keeping the story unpredictable, which was a delight to me since I have a tendency to guess where story lines are headed. I am a Christian and appreciate the delicacy of the romantic scenes and would say it was in no way offensive. The connection of the actors to the story add so much to my own enjoyment. I am raving about this picture to my friends and family.』
(A Sentimental Film Made With Heart --) 『First of all I am shocked with the few reviews I have read here. I think this family has accomplished a monumental project. I give them full support and congratulations for using their own money, resources and family to undergo such a project.
Anyone who is such in tune with their family history would be very proud to have this type of film made. Just as books are written, there are those that will appeal to only a certain region. South Carolina and it's citizens are very proud of this film.
I can not believe that anyone could be so cruel to heavily attack this film with such heavy criticism. I was describing this film yesterday to my son and remember telling him that this is not a film about the Civil War, it is a film about a real Southern family. The photography was stunning and the use of the light from the magic hour provided a warm sense of mood.
I really do not think anyone in the world could have produced a much better film on their first attempt. I clearly give them a thumbs up for their accomplishment. No, I do not know the family at all. Yes, I do understand the film, it projects a feeling that most southern born descendants of Confederate soldiers have. Most Confederate soldiers service history is minimum and the families that are fortunate to have personal items and stories handed down are very fortunate. One reviewer remarked that there was not enought story to make a movie, that is shallow thinking...If you know your history and the history of the unit such as Butler's Cavalry, all you have to do is plug in one Captain Adams to know his experience as well as those of whom he fought with.
I saw other criticise the use of re-enactors and stock film footage. I was personally involved in the 125th Anniversary Re-enactments of the Civil War and on nearly every event there were cameras rolling by a company called Classic Images as well as other companies. This was a film makers paradise. Where else could you every have to opportunity to have thousands of background actors equiped with authentic uniforms, weapons, horses, tack, camps, artillery, etc and spend nothing more that what it would cost to send out a film crew for some location shooting? Every re-enactor purchases his or her own equipment and that amounts to well over $2000.00 for each person down to the black powder used in their guns. There is probably not a film company in Hollywood that would spend that kind of money to outfit such a large army for background. In the movie Glory, soldiers in background carried rubber rifles and other arms, canvas was painted black to make straps and belts, etc. In the Patriot, most of the background action of the thousands of soldiers in the British Army were Computer Generated Graphics.
As for authenticity, ok, someone missed a re-enactor who was wearing a bold wristwatch, but that particular re-enactor should have been better prepared and he should have known better that to wear the wristwatch. Even at the large re-enactments, it is always tough to make sure that everyone is "in period" one reason is because not everyone is educated properly to present themselves in the field before an event.
I enjoyed the epic movie Gettysburg, but I could spend a lot of time criticising the authenticity and acting of some of those in that movie. I enjoyed it for what is was and it was one of the best attempts Hollywood has produced in making a documentary entertaining. There was a lot of carboard actors delivering lines in that movie.
Well, I could go on, but I will stop here. I will say thank to the Adams Family and Congratulations for a job well done. This film is a family treasure and another nicely recorded remembrance of another one of South Carolina's faithful soldiers who did his duty.』
(One of the best) 『Being a Civil War buff,i can only say that this movie can only be put in a class of it,s own!』
(I could not love thee half as much loved I not honor more.) 『Man, do I disagree with those reviewers who gave 'The Last Confederate' a low rating. Were they watching a different film than I was? The movie is an insightful and INTELLIGENT portrayal of the event that transformed the nation. Also, the choice of the actor...apparently a distant relative...to play the real-life Robert Adams, works. The man is a genuine Southernor [as opposed to a Hollywood Southernor] and sounds, looks and behaves like a Southernor. His acting is convincing. The quality of the audio on my DVD was poor but I rate a movie/book on its overall quality, not technicals.
This is an absolutely superior film about love and war. The director has managed to weave a beautiful and sensitive love story into, through and around the brutality of an incredible war. The primary character, Robert Adams, is wonderful in his dedication to his woman and especially to the land he loves. He is a patriot, a nationalist and also a bit of a fanatic. When given more than an opportunity to quit the war and live peacefully with the woman he loves, he opts for privation, hardship, loneliness and danger. Others may quit but Adams doesn't.
Nevertheless, Adams is riven by guilt for having his men and friends killed around him. Likewise, he feels guilt for abandoning the woman he truly loves. He is guilty of convincing men who aren't cut out for war into the fray, where they are slaughtered. Crawling with guilt but with a sense of honor even greater, he fights on...

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (No Patch about it) 『Any rating under 5 stars is a tragedy. This movie is absolutely wonderful in many many ways. There is no question about the talent Robin Williams brings but both Monica Potter and Phillip Seymour Hoffman are spectacular in their roles. Simply put, Fantastic. The balance of tragedy and comedy is unsurpassed!』
(What a movie should be) 『This is one of those movies that I kept wanting to watch, but never got around to it. With the long holiday weekend, my family decided that watching this would be a good way to spend part of the time.
I loved it! Patch Adams is a fascinating character and the story is wonderful. Robin Williams is at his best -- not too over-the-top but absolutely hysterical at times. I was laughing out loud in parts and very deeply touched in others. What more can one say about a movie?
I also have to say that Monica Potter is great in this. The camera loves her and she can really, really act.
A great movie that runs the full range of emotion -- terrific!』

(A DRAMIC COMEDY) 『I'VE SEEN THIS BEFORE BUT NEVER KNEW PATCH ADAMS WAS A REAL PERSON. ROBIN WILLIAMS PLAYS THIS ROLE BEAUTIFULLY. PERFECTLY PUTTING COMEDY AND DRAMA IN THE RIGHT PLACE』 『Patch Adamsraises two schools of thought: There are those who are inspired by the true story of a troubled man who finds happiness in helping others--a man set on changing the world and who may well accomplish the task. And then there are those who feel manipulated by this feel-good story, who want to smack the young medical student every time he begins his silly antics.
Staving off suicidal thoughts, Hunter Adams commits himself into a psychiatric ward, where he not only garners the nickname "Patch," but learns the joy in helping others. To this end, he decides to go to medical school, where he clashes with the staid conventions of the establishment as he attempts to inject humor and humanity into his treatment of the patients ("We need to start treating the patient as well as the disease," he declares throughout the film). Robin Williams, in the title role, is as charming as ever, although someone should tell him to broaden his range--the ever-cheerful do-gooderà laGood Will HuntingandDead Poets Societyis getting a little old. His sidekick Truman (Daniel London) steals the show with his gawky allure and eyebrows that threaten to overtake his lean face--he seems more real, which is odd considering that Patch Adams does exist and this film is based on his life. Monica Potter is the coolly reluctant love interest, and she makes the most of her one-dimensional part. While moments of true heartfelt emotion do come through, the major flaw of this film is that the good guys are just so gosh-darn good and the bad ones are just big meanies with no character development.Patch Adams, though, does provide the tears, the giggles, and the kooky folks who will keep you smiling at the end.--Jenny Brown』 『Meet Patch Adams (Academy Award-winner Robin Williams), a doctor who doesn't look, act or think like any doctor you've met before. For Patch, humor is the best medicine, and he's willing to do just about anything to make his patients laugh - even if it means risking his own career. Based on a true story, Patch Adams combines sidesplitting humor with an inspiring story that transcends the traditional comedy.』

One oddity that I notice about this sort of book is that they come with a reading 'guide' in the preface and the guide has you starting in the middle, turning to the back, then back to the front and then back to the middle etc., why didn't they just print the book in the order that they think you should read it? :P When used as a reference book you use the table of contents to find what you want anyway. :)
Great product though, glad I bought it.』
(Great) 『This volume is packed with doctrine and answers questions that many Christians ask. It gives answers from scripture and also points out common errors of belief. It is not a book you just sit and read once, but one you will want to study for a lifetime. What is most interesting is that even though it was written in the 1500's it is very up-to-date and relevant for our time. With so much watered down, Christless Christianity in today's world, this is provides a strong and refreshing explanation of the Christian faith.』
(Best translation for the Twenty-First Century.) 『Anyone wanting to understand what the Christian church has traditionally confessed should read this volume. In many ways, this edition shares a rich heritage with the Tappert and the Kolb/Wengert editions. However, the Concordia edition is far easier to read and frequently makes even the heaviest of theological concepts understandable. Next to the Bible itself, this book should be in every Christian household.』
(Great price, great book) 『This is an excellent book. It is high quality, and yet low price. If you want detailed descriptions of the traditional Lutheran beliefs, this is the book to get. In addition to the confessional documents themselves, this book is filled with notes and other helps to help you to understand the context and reasoning behind certain passages. A Lutheran, or any other Christian for that matter, would be foolish not to get this book.』 『The most comprehensive edition of the Lutheran Confessions in English. It features period woodcuts and paintings, along with helpful introductions, annotations, notes, glossaries and a variety of indices. A timeline of the period and daily reading guide are included as well. This edition is a translation based on the actual text scontained in the authoritative editions of the Book of Concord, using either the German or the Latin text, unlike other English translations which are based on reconstructed texts, but not necessarily those that are the Lutheran Church's approved texts of their confessional documents. It is designed for the reader interested in understanding in depth what the beliefs, teachings and confession of the Lutheran Church are.』

Ted McCain shows you how to deliver content in ways the students will remember and by which they will acquire problem-solving skills as well - the skills needed by our students for the "real world".
The other beauty of this book is its size - you can absorb the contents and start using the ideas within a week. Yet, you can return after a module and refine your practice further. I sincerely believe it made me a better teacher even after 15 years teaching experience.』
(Rethinking Pedagogy) 『Teaching for Tomorrow is a quick (90 page) book that lays out a great rationale for changing pedagogy towards real-world project-based-learning where the teacher steps away from "telling" mode. Chapter one is "How I discovered I was a highly educated useless person." Then McCain outlines six proposals that would help schools create graduates who are not "useless": 1) resisting the tempatation to "tell" 2) providing context to content, 3) fostering independent thinking, 4) moving to problem solving, 5) withdrawing from helping students,&6) reevaluating evaluation. Along the way he touches on the importance of failing and how we learn more from mistakes than from success. The author is a technology coordinator and he provides several examples for the kinds of role-playing problems solving that he is advocating, but this is not a book about technology. It is applicable to all disciplines. You can "look inside" the book at Google Book Search.
I identified with McCain's story that described how he felt like he didn't have real world skills after graduating from his university. He argues that schools currently are good at giving students "school skills" but they don't give students real-world skills. His six proposals are not new, and they are included in educational degrees for teachers, but the reality in many classrooms is that these approaches are not used. By and large, we are still using a curriculum defined by text books and focused on preparation for high-stakes tests. McCain recognizes the importance of accountability and testing but suggests that there is more value in a pedagogical approach that creates real-world skills while still delivering the content we want students to absorb.
My only criticism of the book is it doesn't go into the dynamics of a classroom of 20+ students. He has some good examples of role-playing and problem-solving scenarios that you can easily imagine a group of 3-4 students excelling at, but classroom management of this approach for 20 students becomes more complex. This could use some explication.』 『McCain concisely lays out the argument for preparing students for their world, guiding them to become independent and successful critical thinkers.』

Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (You Are There) 『An Honorable German tells the story of Max, a young German naval officer, an academy man and patriot, from September 1939 through September 1944. Though a work of fiction, The Honorable German places Max in a series of events, beginning with service on the pocket battleship Admiral Graf Spee in the South Atlantic. Graf Spee's fate, efficient merchant hunter becomes hunted, often told and told again here, fuels the patriotic Max's sense of shame, and his resentment of the British, already despised for their hand in the humiliations of the First War armistice treaties. Narrative compression speeds Max along from further merchant raiding to eventual submarine service and, finally, command.
His path is strewn with disaster and good fortune, both in striking amounts----a sinking in the Indian Ocean and miraculous lifeboat rescue, to near entombment in his own submarine on its first training run in frigid Baltic waters off Danzig. And, finally, comes his first patrol as commander, from Kiel (where as a young boy watching its annual maritime displays he decided he wanted a naval career) into the North Atlantic, for duty which had become increasingly fatal for hunter, as the Allies became more adept at convoy defense. These scenes are soaked in verisimilitude, especially the cramped, wet shipboard life, full of stink, monotony, storm and danger. It's the reverse of "The Cruel Sea"---here we follow the submariners and their struggles to survive the convoy defenses.
Two parallel story lines set in Germany and France reunite Max with his lover Mareth, and with his father, who is involved in an ultimately tragic relationship with a Polish Jew. These interludes include terrifying Allied bombings and deadly Gestapo paranoia----more close-run things. How they begin to undermine Max's confidence in his country's leadership and complicate his sense of duty as a patriot unfold in the final nautical set-piece off the coast of Florida. The young, proud officer who so readily scorned the fateful decisions of Graf Spee's captain, now has his own complicated choices to make.
This is not the end of the story for Max, so to avoid spoilers I'll simply say that the final portion of the book, though not sea-bound, is carried off with the same attention to factual detail which characterizes the entire book. Max's life, seemingly now safe, is at deadly risk, and he must act to survive.
Full-disclosure: I know the author, and read an early version of this book many years ago. Much effort over time transformed the narrative into a tighter, more satisfying read. What hasn't changed is McCain's commitment in An Honorable German to vivid depictions of time and place. 』
(An imaginative inside look at the German navy during WWII.) 『I decided to take this novel as a reading companion on a sea voyage and was not disappointed with my decision. The author takes us on a journey through the early naval career of a young German officer who struggles with his duty to family and military and the policies of his government. Based on extensive and new research, we proceed to a conclusion right out of Hollywood, while obtaining a fuller understanding of officers' life on a German U-boat. The book will be of special interest to those who wish to know more about naval warfare of the time.』
(A Good Sea Story and a German Viewpoint) 『This is a remarkably good sea story and it does describe the mindset of a decent German. However, the cruelty of the British bombers of Berlin leaves me cold.
Germany had lost its honor with Auschwitz, Belsen, Buchenwald, Dachau, Theresienstadt and Warsaw among others. I console myself with the fact that most people responsible for Germany's dishonor are dead tho' some people have inherited wealth from businesses active during the Reich.』
(Grand blend of story&scholarship!) 『An Honorable German by Charles L.McCain is a grand blend of story and scholarship. McCain has written a riveting novel woven around historical figures authentically portrayed in a tale of World War II at sea. The account is of a young officer in the Kriegsmarine, who stubbornly maintains a chivalrous code inherited from the old German Imperial Navy against the brutal demands of Nazi thugs. Insisting on mercy for the enemy at the end of a fight, Max Brekendorf maintains his principles at extreme personal peril. He reminds us of the sharp tension, often forgotten, that existed between the old German nobility of arms and Hitler's political shock troops. We are also vividly reminded that personal suffering and heartbreak was felt on both sides of the war. A gripping U-Boat mission concludes the high seas saga of this first-rate work.

(A Compelling Read) 『I thoroughly enjoyed the attention to detail and the look into historical settings and events. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in this part of history.』 『In the tradition of Das Boot and The Hunt for Red October comes a sweeping saga of World War II, featuring a heroic and conflicted German U-Boat commander.
An Honorable German
When World War II begins, Max Brekendorf, a proud young German naval officer, fights for his country with honor and courage. With the unstoppable German war machine overrunning Europe, Max looks ahead to a bright future with his fiancée, Mareth. But as the war progresses, their future together becomes less and less certain. German victories begin to fade. In the North Atlantic, Max must face the increasing strength of the Allies on ever more harrowing missions. Berlin itself is savaged by bombing, making life for Mareth increasingly dangerous and desperate. And as the Third Reich steadily crumbles, Nazi loyalists begin to infiltrate Max's crew and turn their terror on Germany's own armed forces. Recognizing what his nation has become, Max is forced to make a choice between his own sense of morality, and his duty to the Reich. With its stirring, rarely seen glimpse of the German home front during WWII, vivid characters, and evocation of the drama and terror of war at sea, An Honorable German is a suspense-filled story of adventure, of love and loss, and of honor and redemption.
