Customer Review: Excellent for elementary art education or homeschool
These books are excellent for elementary students. They are easy to read and easy to follow. They are filled with lots of examples of the artists work and ideas for kids to try. They incorporate the history of art during each artists life and who influenced them. The books in this series are: Cezanne, Leonardo Da Vinci, Matisse, Michelangelo, Miro, Monet, Picasso, and Van Gogh. I have Monet & Miro and have read both. I just purchased four more.

The Virginian leaves the state of his birth to make a new life for himself on the frontier of the American West. He falls in love with Molly Stark, a schoolteacher also new to Wyoming, and becomes the foreman of a successful cattle ranch, hoping to make good in her eyes. But he is forced to resort to violence when he must protect the ranch against the treacheries of a rival rancher and the betrayal of a former friend.

Customer Review: Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
There are no words to describe how SLOW this movie was from beginning to end, but let me try anyway so as to give people a fair chance to avoid it and thus try and prevent their day/evening from being ruined: the film deals with the story of a schoolteacher from New England who meets a Virginian cowboy on the plains of Wyoming. The presence of Bill Pullman and Diane Lane did very little to alleviate the pain of watching this slooow and boooring mooovie… In addition, Diane Lane’s character was way to pushy/bossy/feminist for late 19th century, making it rather unrealistic. As for the supporting characters, this film does not seem to be their thing, and subsequently they look like they are out of place. In relation to the plot and the dialogues, they are way beyond “below average.” With the exception of the setting, (the plains are indeed breathtaking!) everything else is nothing to write home about. In conclusion, the potential for a decent movie was there if only the writers had the ability to… write! A shame really… Rent or buy at your own risk.
Customer Review: Love this movie.
I love westerns. Simple, clean, classic stories of moral dilemas. This is one of my favorites.

Wicked Lady: Salvador Dali’s Muse

After the box-office success of Phenomenon, John Travolta continued to charm audiences with this 1996 comedy-fantasy in which he plays a grubby angel who’s got one last good deed to do before heading back to heaven. Living peacefully in the rural Iowa home of an old, friendly motel owner (Jean Stapleton), the winged Michael (Travolta) is hardly the image of a perfect angel. He’s scruffy, unshaven, eats sweetened cereal by the box-full and chain-smokes all day long. But when tabloid reporters (William Hurt, Robert Pastorelli) learn of Michael’s alleged existence and head to Iowa to check him out, Michael soon realizes that it’s his task to see that Hurt falls in love with an “angel expert” (Andie MacDowell) and breaks free from his habitually cynical attitude. There’s more to the story, of course (and Chasing Amy fans will recognize Joey Lauren Adams as a waitress who charms the angel), but Michael is more about the effect that this enchanting angel has on the earthbound humans around him. Whether he’s chipping away at Hurt’s skepticism or attracting a crowd of women on a truck-stop dance floor, Michael is an enchanting figure, and Travolta plays him with just the right tone of humor, reverence, and effervescent charm. Sure, it’s lightweight fluff, but director Nora Ephron specializes in lightweight fluff, and Michael is the kind of feel-good movie that never wears out its welcome. –Jeff Shannon

Customer Review: Michael
One of John Travolta’s best movies. It’s old but enjoyable. One that can be watched several times.
Customer Review: Michael
Three tabloid journelists go in search of an angel and find more than they thought possible.John Travolta as always fills the screen, in more ways than one. Three lost souls and an angel on the road (also in more ways than one), to understanding, redemption, and love. This is a funny, heart warming and very satisfying journey for any age.
