Iliad and the Trojan War DVD (2004) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Another overpriced cartoons. This must not be a hot seller but at this price, only the county, college or university library can afford this. I need a Federal Grant if I need to purchase this so that I can give a proper review.

History -- Modern Marvels Route 66 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When I was 14 I travelled Rt 66 with my parents. As young as I was it felt very special to me and I never forgot it. I saw this video on the History Channel and when it came available for purchase, I bought it.
Actually, I bought it as a gift for my husband because he's travelled it also and we both felt a connection to that road. We have friends in Flagstaff, AZ and they live just minutes from 66 that still runs through town -- always a pleasure to be there. We love this DVD because it gives history, pictures, and memories of a great time.

Lonely Planet - Ecuador & the Galapagos Islands Experience Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Many travelogue videos suffer from the "disembodied narrator droning on about scenery and landmarks" syndrome. Not the "Lonely Planet" series. This one is one of the best... traveller Justine Shapiro takes you along on her personal explorations of Ecuador, interacting with people, asking questions, and taking some risks. That's the real strength of this video (and most in the series): they emphasize people and their ways of life over scenery, and make you feel like you are
taking the trip yourself, not just watching continuous camera sweeps. Very well done and highly recommended for school use!

Lonely Planet - Experience Northeast Brazil Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This Lonely Planet video covers traveler Ian Wright's trek through the NorthEastern part of Brazil. Ian is a amiable and entertaining narrator who always manages to provide good travel info with a dash of humour. The primary cities covered in the video are Salvador, Recife, Fortaleza and Belem. Ian also detours off the tourist track into the interior of NorthEast Brazil but just for a bit. I love this tape! It gives a very fine overview of the cities mentioned, though I wished they had spent more time on Recife and Fortaleza. It is a great companion piece to the Lonely Planet program wherein Ian Wright does the Carnival in Rio de Janeiro but unfortunately, as far as I know, the Rio program has not made it to video tape as yet. Brazil is a wonderful place to visit with warm people and great food. This Lonely Planet video gives the viewer a small but delicious taste of what it would be like to travel to the NorthEastern part of the country. And, take it from one who has been there several times, any of the above mentioned cities in the NorthEast part of Brazil would be a splendid alternative to the crowded tourist haven of Rio de Janeiro!
