Henry Hill (2000) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Now in adulthood the amazing talents of a musical prodigy, Henry Hill (JAMIE HARROLD - Sum of All Fears, Hannibal, Erin Brockovich), has not lived up to his lofty expectations despite retaining his considerable talent. Following a suicide attempt, Henry returns home to Maine to recover. His downfall creates an air of mystery around him which others find difficult to penetrate until he meets a beautiful woman (MOIRA KELLY - The West Wing, With Honors, Little Odessa) who, distraught, seeks directions. As their feelings towards each other grow more intense, Henry continues to grapple with his unfulfilled dream. Cynthia wants to continue her journey to New York and she wants Henry to go with her. Has Henry given up on his music? And himself?...

Route 66: Marathon Tour: Chicago to L.A. (5-pk)(Tin) (2006) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This series of discs does a great job of actually telling the complete story of Route 66, not just the fluff that other videos show. The interviews are interesting and if you are planning a trip, this is a must see before you go.
The set also includes bonus items such as a set of post cards and a cool map of the route. Great for collectors of the "mother road."

Take a trip across the country and back in time and re-discover the America of years gone by on the historic Route 66. Called the Main Street of America, it linked east and west for nearly 60 memorable years and became part of our national folklore in the process. More than 2400 miles of roadside diners, small towns, tepee-shaped motels and frozen custard stands helped thread the fabric of America. Many journeymen and dreamers traveled its storied path west in fulfillment of their hopes for glory and prosperity. Now, discover Route 66 like never before in this 5 disc collection of all the nostalgia and kitsch that made it a piece of Americana. See the road, hear the stories and take the journey along the Mother Road from its starting point in Chicago until it hits the ocean in L.A. The road may no longer be in service, but its legend lives on in every mile of trail that still exists. ROUTE 66: THE MARATHON TOUR covers the journey in six hours of lively, fun-filled stories and anecdotes that will make you want to take the trip again and again! Immortalized in American pop culture through song and story, Route 66 inspired John Steinbeck\'s Grapes of Wrath and Bobby Troup\'s jazzy tribute to the country by-way. With tons of bonus features including rare photos and a profile of the Corvette, another American classic, ROUTE 66: THE MARATHON TOUR is one ride you\'ll never forget. So fasten your seatbelt, hold on tight and, like the song says: \'Get your kicks on Route 66!"

Feasting on Asphalt: The Complete First Season (2007) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have always been a devout fan of Good Eats. However, this particular series really communicates Alton Brown's love for the journey in understanding food--how food is both an expression of culture and community, as well as a driving force in maintaining and creating culture and community.
Feasting on Asphalt is filled with a reverence for the every-day people that make this country the terrific, diverse, stock pot that it is. Watch this show, and you will want to get out there on the road, meet some of these people, eat a lot of food, and bask in the wonder of all the stories and communities that must be out there for you to discover. It will also make you think about the micro- and macro-cultures in which you were raised, and make you curious about how the foods and traditions of your family and community came to be.
In an increasingly homogenized world of large chains and Anywhere USA towns, Feasting on Asphalt shows us that hope is not lost. We are still here. We are still eating and cooking and living.
A big thank you to Alton and his dedicated crew.
