It's All About Dancing: Jamaican Dance-U-Mentary (2005) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Not Impressed, not even a little bit. I was so excited when I got this in the mail....BUT, very very disappointed after viewing it. I completely mis-understood the purpose of this DVD. I thought it was more focused towards teaching Dancehall style moves. I don't find it the least bit instructional in any way. It looks like some sort of strange aerobics on the beach. I can honestly say I have never seen anyone doing any of these dance moves in any of the clubs within 100 miles of where I live (near DC). Most of the dances are shown in 1 or 2 minute clips. The majority of the DVD is documentary and interviews. (and kinda hard to understand what they are saying)
Sorry for the bad review, but, I don't want anyone else to have the same fabulous expectation of instruction and then be disappointed by this cheaply made disc. (seriously, it is cheap)

Strong Medicine - The Complete First Season (2000) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have seen a lot of the episodes of `Strong Medicine' on Lifetime, and I feel that it is one of the most underrated TV shows being show today. It is a great show that portrays hope, life, relationships, and emotions in each episode. I am glad that this show is finally releasing on DVD, as we can get to watch the series from the beginning.
The story mainly revolves around Dr. Lu Delgado and Dr. Dana Stowe, two women who have nothing in common with each other, except for their passions in the field of work. They work in the Rittenhouse Women's Health Clinic, where they face new challenges, and solve new problems from performing plastic surgery to treating HIV positive patients. This DVD set contains the first 22 episodes of Season 1, which are:
01. Pilot
02. Preexisting Conditions
03. Misconceptions
04. Second Look
05. Performance Anxiety
06. Drug Interactions
07. Do No Harm
08. Miracle Cure
09. Dependency
10. BRCA1
11. BRCA2
12. Brainchild
13. Second Opinion
14. Side Effects
15. Blessed Events
16. Fix
17. Maternity
18. Complications
19. Childcare
20. Drugstore Cowgirl
21. Wednesday Night Fever
22. Mortality
Not only is this show moving, but you also learn something in each episode. Developed by Whoopi Goldberg and created by Tammy Ader, `Strong Medicine' has won numerous awards. Rosa Blasi (who plays Dr. Lu Delgado) won an Imagen Award for Best Actress in a Drama series. I doubt this DVD set will contain any special features, except for the standard ones like languages, and subtitles, but nevertheless, it is worth buying this DVD just to see the episodes.
Being sweet and sour at times, `Strong Medicine' is a wonderful drama that will definitely make you feel better.

When the two women are paired up to run the Rittenhouse Women's Health Center, they must learn to work together even with their respective approaches clearly on opposite sides of the operating table. But can they get past it? From Executive Producers Whoopi Goldberg and Tammy Ader, this long-running Lifetime series contains all 22 first season episodes on a 5 disc DVD set.
