National Geographic: World's Most Dangerous Drug (2006) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I know a little bit about different kinds of drugs due to some law enforcement training I've had but after seeing National Geographic's special on methamphetamines, it became instantly clear to me that this is the most frightening controlled substance I've ever seen.
On the streets it is referred to as Crystal, Ice, and Crank. Methamphetamines are viciously addictive and provide the hyperactivity effects of Cocaine along with the delusional effects of LSD. As opposed to getting a short `high' from other drugs, this one will keep users pumped up from 6 to 12 hours and create feelings of paranoia, invulnerability, increased strength, euphoria, and may cause some to react in a violent fashion. As for health concerns, it rots the teeth, suppresses the appetite, induces insomnia, and causes brain damage among other things. Its ease of use makes it even more insidious as it can be swallowed, snorted, injected, or smoked and it is cheap to buy or can be easily manufactured by almost anyone.
Methamphetamines can be found in virtually every community from the smallest towns to the largest cities and it radiates through all walks of life from the lowest to highest social classes. It is estimated that there are 26 million worldwide users of this drug. When law enforcement in the United States began to make a concerted effort to eliminate methamphetamine labs, supply then began to come from Mexico using routes already established by Cocaine Cartels.
`The World's Most Dangerous Drug' is only 50 minutes long but this is more than enough time to fully realize the shocking and devastating effects of methamphetamines. There are some graphic photos and a few disturbing video clips but they are necessary elements in complimenting and reinforcing the main message of this program. National Geographic has made a decent documentary here, in my opinion, and whether viewers want to watch this for educational purposes or just out of curiosity perhaps, I recommend it to everyone.

Addiction (2007) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Fantastic. I have been sober for 7 years. As an alcoholic in recovery I have read and studied an awful lot about this topic. Unlike any single item I've read, listened to, or watched this documentary covers this disease from every angle. When clean and sober we addicts don't ask for sympathy just understanding. This documentary shows how those we affected need the same. If you are having a problem or are a family member; please get this and watch it. If you are in the health field or a friend of someone in trouble; please get this and watch it. I you feel like alcoholics should just have a couple and stop; please get this and watch it. What a great job they did educating us all on this disease. Thank you guys for such a great job!

Boy Next Door (2008) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)From the rear of DVD. "World-renowned murder-mystery writer Sara Wylde travels to the small town of Christina Lake in search of inspiration to write her next novel. Sara gets more than she bargained for when she meets her neighbor, a young, handsome and wealthy man who quickly becomes her muse. Her novel develops effortlessly as she spies on him from her upstairs window each night. But when the man mysteriously turns up dead, Sara becomes the lead suspect in his murder case. Now, she must not only prove that she is innocent, but she must also try to discover the real killer before she becomes the next victim."
I bought this simply because Dina Meyer is in it, not knowing anything about the movie. It is a no frills DVD with only sound and subtitle extras. But the movie was actually pretty good. The acting was much better than most straight to video movies, and more importantly the plot and writing actually make sense. There are no real holes in the story line and just enough misdirection to keep you guessing most of the way through the movie. No out of left field bad guys showing up at the last second to be the real killer. Dina as usually was superb and gave a very good performance. A must have if you are a Dina Meyer fan, and a should have if you like murder mysteries.
