wonderful crashing waves for the beachcomber trapped inland!
had been searching for a dvd of crashing waves without an overlay of narration or music, simply the sound of the mighty waves breaking and roaring onto the shore.
other offerings claimed to provide a choice of sounds, but only this one reported sound of waves alone.
it is just what i was praying for. as i can no longer travel to the shore, this dvd, in a manner of speaking, brings the beloved shore to me.
4 moderately varying scenes, each 30 minutes in length, are presented. all offer cascading waves upon an immaculately clean beach, with the occasional bird lazily gliding past or strolling past the camera.
one can almost smell the salt in the air!

bagart & bacall!!!
have been rationing these movies for use only when the need for engrossing escape vehicles can no longer be denied, and when that vehicle must involve the mysterious or murderous intrigue.
what a splendid set! restoration renders the films a brand-new quality in addition to the skillful spinning of yarns. the sets are believable, the editing tight, costumes solid for the period, and then there's the fabulous leading duo!
have waited decades to have & see a fresh copy of these films, and it appears they were well worth the wait!

even more glorious than the 1949 animated classic!
3 of 3 found this helpful spectacular!... eye popping!.... visually stunning!... breathtaking!.... all true, yet all fail to adequately describe the opulence and pageantry brought to this extraordinary live action re-telling of cinderella.
colors are rich, deep, vibrant. intricately detailed costumes and jewelry, worn by both main characters and extras, are marvelous to behold.
sumptuous gilded palace walls glint and gleam beneath the multitude of dazzling cut crystal chandeliers.
the pumpkin is transformed into a stunning gold and crystal carriage, complete with 4 white horses, 2 lizard footmen and a goosy driver - and is, in a word, spectacular.
and then, there's that dress...
that magnificent bit of magical chiffon and moonbeams that floats and sweeps across the marble floor of a castle ballroom so lavish that the fabled palace of versaille must humbly blush and bow.
the charming score and the editing are as sparkling and imaginative as the movie itself.
for 90 minutes, at least, we can shed the day's burdens, and leave the troubled world beyond the outer door. we can surrender to this wonderful make-believe land of color, of life, and of indefatigable Hope.
relinquish your grip on daily drudgery and let your spirit soar!
Bibbidi - bobbidi - boo!
