If you like slapstick humor, you'll love this film.......2006-12-07

While the premise of the story - a group of childhood friends called back to experience the last year of their old summer camp - could have had a lot of potential, the movie repeatedly resorts to slapstick humor to carry you from scene to scene, as past and present interpersonal conflicts and relationships are clumsily explored, and trivial and childish behaviors are re-enacted, with the apparent expectation that the audience should remain interested. I gritted my teeth, but I have to admit that after an hour, I could no longer take it.

Agh. Horrible! Wasted my time..........2006-07-03

I would've turned it off if I didn't promise my wife I'd watch it with her.

A story about adults who go back to summer camp 25 years later... who does this?

Aside from the unrealistic story line, there are several sub-plots of the 7 or so adults who are dealing with their pasts from 25 years ago, and with their present.

Its jumpy, sporadic, very mildly funny and just about annoying.

Not worth buying let along renting.

F-

Excellent film, great cast!.......2006-07-02

I absolutely loved every minute of this film &hearts;. I rented it because I adore Diane Lane, but ended up being a fan of many of the other characters too :) It felt REAL. And about things that people their age really go through.

I highly highly recommend this movie. It is a kick-back, pop the popcorn and get ready to thoroughly enjoy this laid back but meaningful movie about some friendships, loves and just life as many of us know it &hearts;

If you went to camp, you will love it........2006-06-02

This isn't Oscar stuff but it is a fun, let's forget our troubles, enjoy a glass of wine, movie. If you liked the Big Chill, you will like this. It isn't as deep, but it is enjoyable. The scenery makes you yearn to be 14 again and have a first kiss by a lake. It takes you back where you left part of your youth.

no title .......2006-02-18

Mike Binder, the director, actually went to the camp depicted in this flic, as a child. A "Big Chill" type of ensemble picture with Vincent Spano of "Alive" and Alan Arkin. It was very good - gorgeous scenery of Lake Algonquin in Ontario. It was a real camp, which gave the film authenticity.

Description

If your reading this, then you're a wise person who seeks to learn more about how things work. You can never stop learning, its a proven fact.

Culinary Arts teacher John Nadeau has teamed up with Indian Summer Pictures to bring you this highly informative, professional tutorial on how to butcher your own deer. Weather you are an aspiring hunter learning the ropes, or tired of paying butchering fee's, John will show you how to butcher your deer the realistic way. The way you actually will butcher your deer. At home, with a few sharp knives.

The DVD begins with an introduction of necessary steps needed to prepare for the process. The Skinning, and 6-Part removal stages are done with the deer hanging in a shed. The butchering, packaging, and grinding is done in a home kitchen. This is reality. This is where you will, in reality, butcher your deer. Not a commercial Butcher shop with band-saws, Meat saws,

High priced Grinders and white-walls. That's exactly what you're trying to get away from remember? So why watch a video that was filmed in that environment? Get the real deal, the right way.

And remember, good work isnt cheap, and cheap work isnt good. You get what you pay for.

Product Description

The Maya! From where did the come, and to where did they go? What was their mission and what was their meddage? What about their calendar and that year 2012? Who were the Mayan Daykeepers and were those horrendous reports of human sacrifice fact or fiction? These issues and more are addressed in this beautifully filmed documentary focusing on the culture and traditions of the Maya Indians as expressed through the dances of Javier Alarcon and his dance company from Cancun, Mexico. We see Alarcon transported back in time as an ancient Mayan, as he explains in riveting detail, the meaning of his dances - the powerful Fire dance and the hauntingly beautiful Dance of the Deer. We see him run the gammut of emotions as he answers the skillfully directed questions his interviewer friend is 'allowed" to ask. In fact, the warm camaraderie between the two friends is not only germane to the story, but it lifts the usual volley of questions and answers to another level and lends a charming note to what could have been yet another pedestrian interview. The richness of Alarcon's words express the universal hopes and dreams of the ancient Maya as well as the Maya today and gives the viewer a truly insightfu glimpse into 'The Mind of the Maya".
