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.』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Too Good For One Movie!) 『This has to be one of the best comedies of all time. Just check out the list of actors in this film, not to mention the characters, and situations the portray, all of them on their way to Florida for one reason or the other, all connecting in the town of Ticlaw. They could have made a sitcom of this movie and I'm sure it would have been on the tube for years. I first watched this on HBO in the 80s, taped it, and have enjoyed it ever since. You won't be disappointed.』
(Great, Fun Movie) 『I really enjoyed this movie. It was fun and it probably helped that my expectations were pretty low. I grew up in the town that hosted most of the downtown scenes - Mount Dora, FL (a correction to the previous reviewer indicating Fruitville was the filming location). They did film the scene of blowing up the overpass near Sarasota.』
(Funny Florida) 『Honky Tonk Freeway, for many years, held the record for losing more money than any Hollywood product in history. Having probably the worst, most ill-conceived title possible and no real star power, it was easy to overlook. The fact is, it's a funny movie. This isn't "art" and it doesn't pretent to be. But, if I have a choice of spending an evening with either Honky Tonk Freeway or Out of Africa, it's going to be the trip to Ticlaw, Florida for me.』
(honkey tonk freeway) 『this movie is a classic to me. i have not see it since the late eighties. that is why i am pleased i found it at amazon. does not have it anywhere else that i know of...』
(Honky Tonk Freeway) 『The movie is great fun to watch with my family. Parts of this film was filmed in Sarasota,FL where we live and I did work as an extra on this film. We were thrilled to find it and have a copy to enjoy again and again, and of course to go with the my keepsake Honky Tonk Freeway t-shirt, paycheck stubs and letter of thanks.』

Bruce Dern and Walter were both excellent. Gripping storu and cast.
Highly recommend!』
(Another Exploitation Film) 『The film begins in a transit station. A man makes a call from a telephone booth. [Remember them?] Another man watches and follows him. They get on a bus, a car follows them. Two more passengers get on the bus. A submachine gun sprays bullets! Then the credits show over the scenes. One passenger is barely alive. The police investigation begins. [They don't use rubber gloves.] One of the dead is police detective Dave Evans. The victims are checked and tagged. The bus is towed away. Detective Jake Martin returns home for sleep. What case was Dave Evans working on? The bodies are examined. The wounded old man said something. They find a package in Evans' desk. One is a picture of an old murder victim, Theresa a prostitute.
The detectives begin their investigation. Can they find a lead? We see scenes of Frisco life to titillate the viewers. [The film begins to drag.] Jack Martin returns home. They investigate the leads, the old case checked by Evans. Then a crime occurs with a sniper in a house. The police invade and neutralize the sniper. [Is there a hidden agenda here?] "Get a haircut." Could Detective Larson use more diplomacy? One prisoner offers information for a deal. There is another scene in a residential neighborhood. [Believable?] "Was it something I said?" Will they enter without a search warrant? Marsha won't speak to anyone. Jack asks Leo to do a favor and watch a suspect from that old case. Could a wealthy investment advisor be a crook? [Is Leo following too close? Or is that just for dramatic effect?]
More scenes of Frisco's cultural life follow to shock and amuse the viewers. Is Henry Camarero taking chances? Will Jake Martin try something? Will it work? So there is another car chase to provide action when the film begins to bog down. Would taking a bus help? Can you believe what happens next? Will lightning strike twice? There is a solution to the murders on the bus. This film shows no fog in Frisco! Films adapted from novels are simplified and seldom as good as the book. This story was modified to push its agenda. Per Wahloo wrote his series of mystery novels to document Swedish contemporary life. You can analyze this film for its purpose. 』
(Death by the Busload) 『Gritty naturalism and Altman-esque crosstalk amid great Bay City location work inform this 70s procedural that entertains but misses the mark of being a classic. The picture's overlong with a few too many red herrings. Things pick up for the climax. (Indeed, the ingenious plot could be due for a remake.)
Matthau is suitably low-key in the picture's admirably unsparing picture of the cop's home life. Lou and Bruce are along to jack up the energy.
』
(A solid San Francisco police procedural in the "Bullitt"-mode) 『In the 1960s the writing team of Maj Sjowall and Per Wahloo wrote police procedural mysteries based on the cops of the Stockholm PD--a sort of Swedish 87th Precinct series without a vestige of wit or humor, hence the ironic title. Oh, very gloomily Scandinavian! The books were immensely successful in Europe and even managed the almost unprecedented feat of jumping the Atlantic to become best sellers in America. "The Laughing Policeman" was probably the best-known book of the lot. It is still very much in print and well worth reading today.
Inevitably the series was picked up on option by an American film studio. In 1973, "The Laughing Policeman" was filmed ... with a few changes.
Ingmar Bergman may have been widely admired but he was not box office. No US studio was going to risk big bucks on unknown Swedish actors, nossiree. Walter Matthau was hired to play the lead detective and a young Bruce Dern to play his sidekick. (It should be remembered that in those days Matthau was still an all-around actor, and a good one; his talent had not yet disappeared beneath his comic persona.) If no Swedish actors, than certainly not Stockholm, a town that was presumably gloomy and dull. (Who knew? Who cared?) San Francisco was neither. That was the place!
The movie starts out with a wordless sequence which begins at what was then called the Eastbay Terminal located at about First and Mission Streets. A miscellaneous lot of people board a small diesel bus decked out in the Municipal Railway's old green and cream color scheme that clearly bears the route designation "14 MISSION." The bus wends its way through the streets of San Francisco until one passenger uses an automatic assault rifle, called a "grease gun" in the script, to murder everybody else on the bus. The bus, no longer controlled by the now-dead driver, careens slowly through Chinatown, coming at last to a stop in a gentle crash. The mass murderer, face unshown, steps off and, so far as the puzzled detectives who soon arrive on the scene are concerned, vanishes into thin air.
(Now, to any San Franciscan, a major mystery immediately appears: what in tarnation was a 14 MISSION bus doing so far off course--in Chinatown, of all unlikely places?)
"The Laughing Policeman" was made in the era of the hugely successful Steve McQueen vehicle, "Bullitt," a police procedural set in San Francisco and almost dialogue-free. "The Laughing Policeman" is chattier, but not by much. I wouldn't be surprised to find that all the dialogue in the shooting script could be contained in under ten typewritten pages.
Like "Bullitt" and another famous San Francisco mystery movie, "Vertigo," "The Laughing Policeman" is both an homage to the City and a travelogue. In "Bullitt," San Francisco is an action-oriented theme park suitable for chases up and down the hilly streets. In "Vertigo," San Francisco is a place of picturesque monuments that mask old sins. But in "The Laughing Policeman" the cameras dote on the sleazy underbelly of the City, familiar places in the daily slog of the natives but effectively invisible to the tourists.
I lived in San Francisco for 31 years. I left it in 1973. This movie exactly captures the City as I remember it. (I visited San Francisco a couple of months ago. With the single exception of the Embarcadero Freeway, torn down after the big 1989 earthquake, hardly a brick or a hair has changed in any of the locations that appear on the screen.)
All in all, this is a pretty good, terse, well-acted film that offers a respectable story and is at once a travelogue and time capsule.
Give it a try. Five stars.』
(Eight People Know Who The Killer Is - And They're All Dead) 『Sgt. Jake Martin is speaking to his new partner, Insp. Leo Larsen; trying to convince him how important this investigation is. Inspector Leo Larsen is leery:
"Sgt. Jake Martin SFPD: Evans was working the Teresa thing on his own time. He's killed on the same bus with Gus Niles who's looking for a grease gun that happens to be the weapon used.
Insp. Leo Larsen SFPD: And then his girlfriend winds up dead on the floor with the needle... Jake, you realize what you just did? You do it to me all the time, now you heard what the man said upstairs.
Sgt. Jake Martin SFPD: I heard him, I was up there, he's a nice man, he shoots in the low 80s, but he plays too close to the vest.
Insp. Leo Larsen SFPD: Then what are you laying all that crap on ME FOR? WHY DON'T YOU STOP IT FOR ONCE? That's YOUR personal hang-up, it does NOT happen to be mine!
Sgt. Jake Martin SFPD: Can't you see it?
Insp. Leo Larsen SFPD: I see one thing, I see why you're such a good cop, and one reason only, because you're so screwed up otherwise. You're beyond human belief, you understand that? You've got nothing else, no personal life, nothing!
Sgt. Jake Martin SFPD: All I'm asking you to do is help me tail a guy for a few days, its routine!
Insp. Leo Larsen SFPD: IT IS NOT ROUTINE JAKE, GODDAMMIT, IF THE BOSS SAYS FORGET IT!"
Nine people in San Francisco get on a bus, one leaves alive. The living one takes with him a "greaser", some sort of sub-machine gun that he used to kill the other eight. Why? What is this all about? That is what Sgt. Martin wants to know. One of the eight is his dead partner, who was supposed to be on vacation. Jake Martin( Walter Matthau) is obsessed with this case, and will not rest until he finds the answer. Enters (Bruce Dern)Insp. Leo Larsen, his new partner. This is Leo's break, up into the big time, but his partner doesn't talk much, and it drives him crazy.
Sgt. Jack Martin is "melancholy, bordering on depression, overwhelming him because he suspects he may have lost his partner as the result of the two-year-old case he failed to resolve." Thus "The Laughing Policeman" is a play on words. This case takes us into the underground of San Francisco in the 1970's. Fuzzy, high hair, hippies, bright suits and a tamer life than we know now. The investigation is "right on", and the clues and lack of clues bring them to many stops along the way. All of the clues are looked at carefully, and all of the leads followed up. The criminal elements are all interviewed. The loves and the outlaws are interplayed with junkies and the motorcycle mamas. These detectives are real and play the part, they are depressed and worried and sometimes hate their job. Sgt.Martin has been in this business for a long time, and the unsolved case of a few years ago has now come full tilt. There is the requisite car chase in San Francisco up the hills and around the sharp corners. Walter Matthau has stepped into his second detective role, and at times it seems as if he is reaching for this character. Bruce Dern plays his character with charm and determination. The scenery is magnificent and the city comes alive. This is the beginning of the detective series that we have seen so many times on TV. "The Streets Of San Francisco" it is not, but almost as good.. Recommended.

(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 』

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 :)』
(Good Coming of Age Movie for Boys) 『I bought this movie for my hubby for Father's Day this year because he loved it as a kid. He has now seen it with our 2 boys who are 3 and 5 a couple times. The boys like it because your in search of a dead bod, but as they get older they will get the whole growing up part of it as well.』
("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!』 『In a small woodsy oregon town four friends are in search of a missing teenagers body. Wanting to be heroes in each others and their hometowns eyes they set out on an unforgettable two day trek that turns into an odyssey of self-discovery. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 07/24/2007 Starring: Wil Wheaton Corey Feldman Run time: 88 minutes Rating: R Director: Rob Reiner』 『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』

Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (The Real McCain!) 『It has become commonplace for Presidential (and, yes, Vice Presidential) candidates to have a published book in the bookstores at some point in the campaign for the Oval Office. Barack Obama has two memoirs published, Senator McCain has three books out, Joe Biden has his book out, and even Governor Palin has at least two books out about her (though, admittedly, not written by her). Among Senator McCain's published books is Faith of My Fathers, a family memoir that is entirely not about politics. In fact, Faith ends long before Senator McCain's election to any public office, with his release from captivity as a prisoner in North Vietnam.
It has certainly been played out in the media throughout Senator McCain's campaign that he is an American hero, having given his entire life (and, in fact, nearly giving up his life) to the service of his country. His commitment to serve the country he loves so much landed him in the brutal captivity of the North Vietnamese for five years during the Vietnam War, where he was brutally beaten, tortured, and left dying with no medical treatment other than the advice that he should eat better and exercise more. As if his diet was of his own choosing, and his tiny cell provided ample room for an adequate workout.
This is not an article to ask you to vote for Senator McCain on November 4, though I wish you would. It is not an article intended to list the many reasons that Senator McCain is clearly the best candidate to lead this country into the next decade, though I believe he is. This article is a review of Senator McCain's book Faith of My Fathers, which explains the foregone conclusion of his Naval career, familiarizes the reader with John McCain I and John McCain II (his grandfather and father, respectively), and in sometimes painful description details the Senator's ordeal as a Prisoner of War in Vietnam. None of those things have anything to do with Senator McCain's readiness or ability to be the next President of the United States of America. Senator McCain is an American hero, and would be an American hero even if he wasn't running for the office of President. Through reading Senator McCain's account in Faith of My Fathers, one learns that the good Senator does not consider himself a hero -- merely an American paying back his country for the priceless gift of freedom with his own blood, sweat, and tears.
No one who goes to war believes once he is there that it is worth the terrible cost of war to fight it by half measures. War is too horrible a thing to drag out unnecessarily. It was a shameful waste to ask men to suffer and die [in Vietnam], to persevere through awful afflictions and heartache, for a cause that half the country didn't believe in and our leaders weren't committed to winning. They committed us to it, badly misjudged the enemy's resolve, and left us to manage the thing on our own without authority to fight it to the extent necessary to finish it. Yet Senator McCain and his fellow prisoners fought as they could, kept their faith, and resisted to the best of their ability the attempts of their brutal captors to break them. It is well reported that John McCain was offered early release because his father was an Admiral in the Navy at the time of his captivity, and it would benefit the NVA to use McCain's early release as propaganda against American forces. It is also well reported that John McCain refused early release, stating that he would not accept release until everyone captured ahead of him was released ahead of him.
What is not so widely reported is that John McCain was offered early release several times before his refusal was accepted. And every time he refused, he was severely beaten and thrown into solitary confinement to reconsider his decision. Beatings that resulted in broken bones that received no medical treatment. And every time John McCain was hauled back in to ask if he had reconsidered, this patriotic American refused early release, and was beaten again. These beatings ended in the forced confession of war crimes by John McCain, though his confession was peppered with comments and language designed to make it clear to anyone who might hear the confession that it was derived by means of brutal torture and given under extreme duress.
Faith of My Fathers is at the same time a heart breaking and inspiring account of a man who has lived the motto of Country First his entire life. But at the same time, Senator McCain tells us of the many other heroes who were held captive with him. He tells of how he believes that other American Prisoners of War were subjected to greater torture and more severe abuse than he -- that he was spared the worst treatment because his father was an Admiral commanding the forces that were fighting in Vietnam at the time. Throughout Faith of My Fathers, Senator McCain introduces us to other American hereoes, like Mike Christian. Mike was a Navy bombardier-navigator who had been shot down in 1967, about six months before I arrived. He had grown up near Selma, Alabama. His family was poor. He had not worn shoes until he was thirteen years old. Character was their wealth. They were good, righteous people, and they raised Mike to be hardworking and loyal. He was seventeen when he enlisted in the Navy. As a young sailor, he showed promise as a leader and impressed his superiors enough to be offered a commission.
What packages we were allowed to receive from our families often contained handkerchiefs, scarves, and other clothing items. For some time, Mike had been taking little scraps of red and white cloth, and with a needle he had fashioned from a piece of bamboo he laboriously sewed an American flag onto the inside of his blue prisoner's shirt. Every afternoon, before we ate our soup, we would hang Mike's flag on the wall of our cell and together recite the Pledge of Allegiance. No other event of the day had as much meaning to us.
The guards discovered Mike's flag one afternoon during a routine inspection and confiscated it. They returned that evening and took Mike outside. For our benefit as much as Mike's, they beat him severely, just outside our cell, puncturing his eardrum and breaking several of his ribs. When they had finished, they dragged him bleeding and nearly senseless back into our cell, and we helped him crawl to his place on the sleeping platform. After things quieted down, we all lay down to go to sleep. Before drifting off, I happened to look toward a corner of the room, where one of the four naked lightbulbs that were always illuminated in our cell cast a dim light on Mike Christian. He had crawled there quietly when he thought the rest of us were sleeping. With his eyes nearly swollen shut from the beating, he had quietly picked up his needle and thread and begun sewing a new flag. Faith of My Fathers should be required reading for every American born after 1960; every American who needs a refresher course on the perils of war; every American who thinks it wise to turn tail and run without finishing the job and defending the causes for which America stands.

(A Legendary Family) 『A painfully honest family story. Much of this book focuses on John McCain's father and grandfather, both of whom had significantly more successful military careers.
McCain clearly admired his father/grandfather and wanted to follow in their footsteps. He seemed to be cut from a different cloth and fate delivered a very different set of life experiences. The stories regarding his treatment in North Vietnam showed him to be a person who could endure great hardship and still retain his faith and sanity.
Reading this book gave me a much better understanding of him as a candidate and politician. The traits which allowed him to survive as a POW and a career in the military do not always serve him well in politics. I have no doubt that he is an honorable man who puts love of country above all else. Unfortunately, those same traits are what keep him from being a successful national candidate.
Highly recommended.』
(Sad that America Could Have done Better with this Great Man.) 『Reading this Book, It is so sad, that America Made such a Bad Choice, And that the Media was in the tank the whole time for the other candidate despite so much controversy surrounding the other candidate. You have to Admire a Man Like Mccain what He did For His Country, and Continues to do so. He is not Perfect, But His Experience could have helped us so much, Sadly Hollywood and other Extreme elements did not Think so. This Book Is Great, Revealing of A Great Man Who Sadly Could have been, As a 26 year old, I never brought that this man Could die as the popular belief was in his first four years, which is one of the reasons people gave that he was too old, but with age comes wisdom and experience, This Man Served For the Greater Cause, Was A P.O.W. and was a Champion Of Finance Reform, I urge all Including the other candidates supporters to read this Book.』
(60% of it is surprisingly enticing.) 『Oh John McCain, I do feel very bad that you've gone through so much. Perhaps you should have told Mr. Salter (the ex-security guard turned novelista) to focus more on that and less on the near one hundred pages of exposition touting your father and his father's accomplishments and quirky views on life. Everyone's familiar with the little piece of Americana that is the perpetually is-he-or-isn't-he-drunk father, and that exposition displays it in spades. However, we the readers would probably rather hear about the gritty, mind-numbingly foreign Hanoi Hotel and how you managed to stay sane (and proudly patriotic) in a situation that not many can even dare to sympathize with.
I was required to read this book for a college class (in one of the more moderate to extreme liberal universities in New York), and was pleasantly surprised at the better portions of the book. The writing is done well for what it is, descriptive in the same way a dictionary is. At times, it feels as if the prose should have a bit more "oomph". I mean, if you're going into detail about how fellow prisoners stayed sane through inhuman torture, then give credit where credit's due. Salter makes water torture sound like frying eggs for breakfast on a sleepy Thursday morning.
All in all a good read. A wonderful story, but sadly, probably less enticing now that the election's over. Second place is the first loser after all. Probably not worth buying in hard copy, too. Oh, and the cover is nice. (Is that bleached hair John is sporting in the 70's? How fierce.)』
(Compelling!!!) 『I've had Faith of My Fathers on my shelf for a while, having previously lightly skimmed select portions of the book. In the wake of the recent election, however, I decided to go back and read the book cover to cover. I'm glad I did because I was enthralled throughout, though not in the traditional sense of a suspenseful mystery novel. To be honest, some of the early chapters which lay the foundation of his life and motivations are a bit of a grind to get through. What was undeniable, however, is that the pace picked up as the presentation of the candid and inspirational chronicle of McCain's life unfolded. While perhaps not riveting prose, it is clearly a compelling story of honor, duty, and principle. I'm thankful I went back and finally read the entire book.』 『Books by politicians are not often worth reading, but John McCain'sFaith of My Fathersis an astonishing exception to the rule. The Republican senator from Arizona has a remarkable story to tell--better than just about any of his peers--and he tells it well, with crisp prose and an unexpected sense for narrative pacing. The first half of the book concerns his naval forbears: his grandfather commanded an aircraft carrier in the Second World War, while his father presided over all naval forces in the Pacific during the Vietnam War. They were the first father-son admirals in American history. Young John McCain knew he had enormous shoes to fill and rebelled against many of the expectations set for him. At the Naval Academy, he was nearly expelled, graduating fifth from the bottom of his class. He never became an admiral, but achieved fame another way: as a naval aviator in 1967, he was shot down over North Vietnam and spent several years in POW camps, where he was beaten, tortured, and nearly allowed to die. McCain describes the awful details of his imprisonment and tells how he stayed mentally strong during seemingly endless months of solitary confinement and how he communicated in code with fellow captives.Faith of My Fathersconcludes with McCain's release and contains no information about his subsequent political career. It is, nonetheless, a complete and compelling memoir of individual heroism--one that will interest both political and military history buffs.--John J. Miller』 『
Senator John McCain learned about life and honor from his grandfather and father, both four-star admirals in the U.S. Navy.Faith of My Fathersis about how their lessons enabled McCain to survive the greatest challenge of his lifeâwhen, as a naval aviator, he was shot down over Hanoi in 1967, seriously wounded, and imprisoned for more than five years.
Told with humility, grace, and humor, it is a story of three imperfect men who faced adversityâand emerged with their honor intact.

(Ok for reading on toilet, so you can flush book when you're done.) 『Thought this book might have something important to say. It doesn't. Just a white trash book report looking for a good laugh. I'm an Obama supporter and still found the book foolish and annoying.』
(minus 14 stars) 『This is just a hate book even if some think it's funny. America is being torn in two and this last, corrupt, sometimes illegal election on the part of Obama's campaign, is doing exactly the opposite of what Obama said about uniting the country. As this book illustrates, his campaign continues, even after the election, and I'm quite sure the campaign to trash, destroy, and mock all that is good, spiritual, and desirable for good living in America, is rapidly being persecuted into oblivion.
If you like the atheists trashing everything they don't agree with, liberal fascists not being liberal, radical women libbers trashing real women, the ACLU chipping away at citizen's rights and protecting illegal immigrants, then books like this, authors like this, and a sick mentality like this is sure to please you.』

#22"First Dude" Todd Palin, aka Sarah's husband, works for British Petroleum. Maybe he can bring gas prices down for good.

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Too Good For One Movie!) 『This has to be one of the best comedies of all time. Just check out the list of actors in this film, not to mention the characters, and situations the portray, all of them on their way to Florida for one reason or the other, all connecting in the town of Ticlaw. They could have made a sitcom of this movie and I'm sure it would have been on the tube for years. I first watched this on HBO in the 80s, taped it, and have enjoyed it ever since. You won't be disappointed.』
(Great, Fun Movie) 『I really enjoyed this movie. It was fun and it probably helped that my expectations were pretty low. I grew up in the town that hosted most of the downtown scenes - Mount Dora, FL (a correction to the previous reviewer indicating Fruitville was the filming location). They did film the scene of blowing up the overpass near Sarasota.』
(Funny Florida) 『Honky Tonk Freeway, for many years, held the record for losing more money than any Hollywood product in history. Having probably the worst, most ill-conceived title possible and no real star power, it was easy to overlook. The fact is, it's a funny movie. This isn't "art" and it doesn't pretent to be. But, if I have a choice of spending an evening with either Honky Tonk Freeway or Out of Africa, it's going to be the trip to Ticlaw, Florida for me.』
(honkey tonk freeway) 『this movie is a classic to me. i have not see it since the late eighties. that is why i am pleased i found it at amazon. does not have it anywhere else that i know of...』
(Honky Tonk Freeway) 『The movie is great fun to watch with my family. Parts of this film was filmed in Sarasota,FL where we live and I did work as an extra on this film. We were thrilled to find it and have a copy to enjoy again and again, and of course to go with the my keepsake Honky Tonk Freeway t-shirt, paycheck stubs and letter of thanks.』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Edwin's gift) 『I've been an Edwin McCain fan since day-one back about 14 years ago, I've seen him live 10 times and had the pleasure (and luck) of meeting him 5 out of those 10 times...there is nothing like seeing him live, but this DVD and his other "House of Blues" DVD are the next best things. His voice, his stories and his hysterical sense of humor are something I can never get enough of and his "Mile Marker" DVD show real moments of the true Edwin, although it doesn't contain nearly as much music as the other, its still without a doubt worth the purchase. Dedicated McCain fans know what I'm talking about...yeah you do....』
(Edwin behind the music.) 『When I purchased the DVD, I had no expectations. I was hoping for a live concert, but was pleasantly surprized to get a glimpse of Edwin behind his music. Not only is he a great songwriter/singer, he is a great human being. His music had already won me over, but his humor seal the deal. This DVD is a great addition to my growing collection of all things Edwin.』
(**Stories&More Stories From The Acoustic Highway**) 『First off let me start off by saying that I am a very big fan of Edwin McCain, his band, and his music. I bought this DVD thinking that there would be a good bit of live footage with him playing, but was only left with my pocket's empty, and my hopes shattered. Edwin McCains personality is portrayed here, as all other reviewers have said, but that really is all that this DVD does well. With only about 15 minutes of Live music I, as a viewer was left asking myself why Edwin and ATC Records decided to put this disc out. The only notable music on this DVD is "I'll Be". This is very easily Edwin's lowest quality item put out, lacking the passion, and originiality that so many of us know him by. A noteworthy Story, if not the only one is the story of how he wrote I'll Be, and the only reason that it is noteworthy, is not because it is a great story, but rather I'll Be is a great track. So if you have money to spare, and time to waste then you can buy this DVD, but unless Edwin releases a new DVD I suggest, that you stick to his CD's.』
(Edwin McCain DVD) 『I just loved this DVD. I really enjoyed the live performances and the behind the scenes stuff. I definitely agree with a lot of the reviewers out there, this DVD does tell you more about Edwin and does show his sense of humor. I really want to see him live sometime. The only disappointment I had is I wish there were more music videos on there, but all the other things that were on the DVD made up for that for the most part. Overall, an enjoyable DVD.』
(Big Dissappointment!!) 『As a fan of Edwin Mccain ,I was expecting lot from the first DVD. But it was a big dissappointment!!! There are only 3 or 4 songs in it. I think they went cheap this time... If you only buy this dvd for "I'll be" song, do it.. but you won't find anything extra.』
