Jungle Book Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This has always been a excellent movie. The insertion of the wild animal shots was seamless. Sabu was very good. The remastering especially the colorization was great. It is clean with a low key color that gives it the feel of an old movie with the quality detail of a new one. I have already watched it twice. It is the best of the Jungle Book movies.

Bought & Sold: An Investigative Documentary About the International Trade in Women (Inst: K-12) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought the documentary..."bought and sold; an investigative documentary about the international trade in women" and thought this was a very good and insightful film.the documentary talks about the evil traffikers of women from around the world lying to the ladies saying they can be rich and have anything their hearts desire only to find out they are prostitutes in a foreign country and often times not even being paid either, which is awful. most of the pay goes to the pimps and the prostitutes live on credit ,which is barely enough to live by and support their families they left behind at home. the documentary talks to the few prostitutes who arent afraid to speak up of this practice about the horrors of the traffiking of women. most ladies are afraid to speak out because the russian mob and other criminal groups control them and speaking out could mean death to them or family members.they even talked to a lady trying to help them but far more needs to be done for these ladies. i think many people still dont know traffiking of women still goes on in modern society and their i think lies the biggest problem. this is a much reccommended documentary of the traffiking of women. i only wish it was longer instead of 42 minutes or so but it's still worth the watch!

The Fifth Word: The Life of Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This video is produced by Pasoalto, in Barcelona, Spain. The case I received says "The Fifth Word" but the main title screen of the DVD says "La Quinta Palabra." This was originally a Spanish-language cartoon that has been dubbed in English and repackaged with an English title. This presents a minor detraction from the overall experience because the voices don't match the animated lips of the characters.
Additionally, the animation is pretty basic. At times it looks like a high-school project rather than a professional production. Again, this bothered me more than it bothered my students.
The biggest issue is the complicated narration. Scenes cut between Mother Teresa's experiences in Calcutta and her childhood in Albania rapidly, sometimes every few seconds. It can be confusing for very small children, but older children may be able to track the story.
The DVD also contains a "making-of" documentary in both English and Spanish.
Overal: This isn't exactly what I expected, but I'm not disappointed.
