Description

This is the second film in The Sugar Creek Gang series.

Does the Great Canoe Fish actually exist? Or is he a two hundred year old canoe-size legend? The Sugar Creek Gang packs their fishing gear and sleeping bags for a canoe trip to find out. But they're not alone. Dragonfly spills the beans to the local town bullies who follow the gang in hopes of beating them to the catch. A gift from Old Man Paddler gives the gang an advantage, but the bullies keep their presence a secret long enough to nearly shatter the gang's hopes. Join the gang on their journey to the pregnant pig rock, help them catch waterfall worms, and find out if the Great Canoe Fish exists!

Look for the other films in the five part Sugar Creek Gang DVD series to complete your collection: Swamp Robber, Revival Villains, Secret Hideout, and Teacher Trouble!

The SUGAR CREEK GANG'S first ALL-NEW adventure!.......2005-11-21

FANTASTIC FUN!

As a fan of the original book series I was so happy to see these movies made. Even more exciting is the fact that THE GREAT CANOE FISH portrays a story that I have never heard before, because it is entirely new (not included in the 36 volume book series). It is great fun to see the gang head off to explore new places, and the production team did a great job staying true to the characters while putting them in brand-new situations.

BRAVO!

The extra stuff included on the DVD is great as well. This entire series seems to be packed with bonus materials that are interesting and lots of fun. It's neat to see the real-life actors who play Bill, Poetry, Circus, Dragonfly, Big Jim, Little Jim, Tom Till, Bob Till, and Shorty Long! Excellent casting choices throughout!

I recommend you pick up this episode along with the first installment in the series, Swamp Robber. After watching THE GREAT CANOE FISH you'll want to check out REVIVAL VILLAINS (all-new), SECRET HIDEOUT (from the book), and TEACHER TROUBLE (also from the book)!

This is NOT the original Sugar Creek Gang.......2005-08-13

I bought the stories on CD, but thought my children would enjoy having a visual to go along with the auditory. It was an awful decision. First, they took all references to God out of the story. This was a beautiful story about a boy and his friends and their individual growth toward a loving Savior. It's now just a story about a gang of boys....oh, and Circus became a girl. I guess they thought it'd sell to girls too if they added a chic. Very confusing to my boys who have heard the story and know that Circus is a BOY. Very disappointing that God can't even be in a story whose original purpose was to share God. This series was written by a Pastor, so it's not like I'm trying to make this about religion....THEY took religion out of a religious story!!!

Original Story!.......2005-03-30

Bill Collins, Poetry, Circus, Dragonfly, Big Jim, Little Jim and the rest of the Sugar Creek characters are at it again!

In this follow-up to Swamp Robber, The Sugar Creek Gang's first movie, the gang takes off on a canoe trip to search for a legendary fish that Old Man Paddler tells them about. I particularly enjoyed this film because it took me on an entirely new adventure with the gang. While it uses the characters and story elements that are found throughout the original book series, the actual story was written specifically for this movie and is a complete surprise!

I know several kids who watch these movies over and over, so the replay value is very high. Also, just like the first film, this DVD has a lot of special features. The director's commentary is very interesting and the behind the scenes videos and outtakes are great. There is also a photo gallery with a few hundred pictures (I'm still working my way through that one)!

Now that I've seen The Great Canoe Fish, I'm looking forward to the next films in this series even more. Good clean family entertainment doesn't come along very often, but so far The Sugar Creek Gang series is batting 1,000%!

The Sugar Creek Gang is Back!.......2005-03-30

This is the second installment in the Sugar Creek Gang movie series. This time around Barry Bowman makes good on the promise he made to the gang in Swamp Robber.

Everyone is back, including Bill, Poetry, Circus, Dragonfly, Big Jim, and Little Jim. For this adventure we float down Sugar Creek with them as they search for a legendary fish that is supposed to be the size of a canoe. It's fun to see previously unexplored parts of Sugar Creek where it actually widens out into a large river (and eventually turns into a fifty foot waterfall, but I don't want to give too much away)!

This movie develops the bullies a little more and fleshes out the gang. We also meet Shorty Long for the first time. I watched The Great Canoe Fish with a group of kids who have since insisted on repeated viewings, so it definitely has the kid appeal... but there's more to it than that, because even adults should enjoy watching this nostalgic series. The movie is not rated, but I recommend it for ages five and up. If your family enjoyed the first Sugar Creek Gang movie then they are sure to love this one!

I Love The Sugar Creek Gang!!.......2005-03-30

I got this DVD for my birthday and I have seen it 3 times already! I really like the whole gang and Circus is still my favorite. There are going to be more Sugar Creek Gang movies and I can't wait for them to come out!!!

Family friendly fun.......2005-06-08

Kids of all ages will love following the Sugar Creek Gang as they venture out to solve a mystery in the "Swamp Robber". When Poetry finds a hidden disguise in the swamp, the gang investigates and discovers a map that leads them to more than just treasure. This movie is a gem-Kalon Media has done a great job capturing the heart of the book series on film. The cinematography is peaceful and colorful and the characters are earnestly portrayed. The films are very family friendly, though there is one brief scene where a husband and wife are arguing and the husband storms off in a fury, leaving his son running after him, yet the situation is handled gently. The movies seem to have a broad appeal, and my boys (ages 4 through 10) equally loved the DVD. These days, it's not easy to find a movie they can all agree upon, but they've watched it several times and never moved from their seats for the entire movie. Amazing! Whether you're a devoted reader of the Sugar Creek Gang series or never read them before, you are in for a treat. Thanks Kalon Media, for bringing to life these loveable kids from yesteryear to teach our children of today about the love of God, of loyalty to friends, and of commitment to family through wholesome, enjoyable and quality entertainment.

Swamp Robber.......2004-12-23

I was able to attend the world premiere of Swamp Robber at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta, GA and get a sneak peek at the completed film. This is the first movie in the Sugar Creek Gang series.

In this installment we are introduced to the entire gang: Bill Collins, Poetry, Circus, Dragonfly, Big Jim, and Little Jim. We accompany them as they discover a secret map and eventually encounter a bank robber on a late night visit to the swamp. The locations used for filming are gorgeous: from the farms to the forests, rivers, and creeks. You can tell these kids must have had a blast making the movie!

In addition to reamaining faithful to the main story, the film expands the scope of the original book. We get to see a bit of the home life that some of these kids endure, and interesting details are laid out that appear to set the stage for a much larger story arc that will be completed in subsequent films. Also, the stage is set for upcoming confrontations with the town bullies (Bob and Tom Till).

I viewed this film with an audience of a few thousand ranging from young children to senior citizens. The response was quite positive and all ages seemed to really enjoy the movie.

I have the DVD and can tell you that it is packed with special features. There is a photo gallery of the production, a behind the scenes documentary, a blooper reel, deleted scenes, and a full length audio commentary with the creators.

Fans of the books and parents looking for safe, clean, and enjoyable family entertainment -- rejoice!

Description

In this sexy and sassy story, Naomi pays the bills by directing lesbian porn. Her male bosses think her work is too gay; her friends think she's a sellout. For comfort, Naomi confides in a secret online soul mate called Sugar. Then Naomi gets a chance to direct a popular and daring girl-meets-girl matchmaking show. She casts her bubbly pal Azusa, whose love life at home is suffering, and no-nonsense executive Miki, whose outlet by night is exotic dancing. When their scripted TV romance flares into some hot off-screen action, even Naomi finds herself caught in the flame. Directed by Desiree Lim, Sugar Sweet is the first Japanese film to be made by and about lesbians.

Customer Reviews:

Wow?!..............2007-03-28

This film...it's flaky and trashy. From the preview it looked very intersting so I picked it up, but it's not so please pass this up. The storylines bounce from one to the other which is confusing. Even the interview with the director of the film in the special feature was boring and confusing, I just couldn't hear nor understand what they were saying most of the time.

Cheesy, gross and not sexy.......2005-02-19

I hated this film. The women in it were not attractive or sexy, and the plot was incredibly stupid and misogynistic. This film is about a Japanese woman who decides to produce her own lesbian porno flick (after working in the straight Japanese porno industry for years with her misogynistic male comrades) and explores her interactions with the actress she hires to star in her porno film. This film had very unsexy and graphic sex scenes and unlikable characters. What's shocking is that this movie was actually produced by a lesbian ....

1 star cause I am sympathetic.......2004-02-13

Not good...poor story line dull acting...oh what a tragedy...could have been better with a better script or actresses...hmmm maybe not..should have donated the money to make this to a womens shelter and done more good...

Too much sugar can cause you to crash.......2003-12-30

I wanted to like it. I fell asleep. Even while reading the poorly written subtitles. Maybe that is the problem with the film... When you hear a character speaking for 30 seconds and yet the subtitle only says "yes, you're right" you know you're missing out on something. You simply can't blame the director or script writer for that. Blame the poor translation.

That said, I still don't recommend the film:
*I don't speak Japanese so I can't say whether the story-line would have been good in spite of the bad translation.
*I kept getting the characters confused, because I couldn't look at them long enough to know them because I had to keep reading the dialog. (Don't get me wrong, I usually have no problem following stories with subtitles...)
*It was just plain boring.

Mundane.......2003-12-17

The story will make you ask, story what story? wait a second there is no real plot here....The acting....I believe that is limited...the alluring sexual content advertised ...was no where to be found...I wanted to like this film, but I just have to be truthful...This is a poorly made lesbian film...simply mundane...Can't someone make an intelligent lesbian film that does not insult our intelligence...

Product Description

The 2005 West Virginia Mountaineers had something only a handful of teams find. A lot of teams throughout the nation have talent, but only a select few have team chemistry, the bond needed that transforms a good team into a great one. This group of Mountaineers mixed strong veteran leadership with youthful energy into a formula that truly jelled. An 11 - 1 record was a great achievement for these Mountaineers, who worked hard, sweated, cried, laughed, and celebrated together. They overcame huge obstacles and enjoyed success as a team. No one can underestimate the power of togetherness. The national experts did not expect much, but the 2005 Mountaineers delivered a BIG EAST championship, a BCS bowl berth and one of the best seasons in school history. Mountaineer fans had fun watching this team. It had just the right mix of veteran leadership and youthful exuberance to deliver a season that was "Sweet As Sugar."

Nothing Special, But Not Terrible.......2006-09-07

This is what is says it is--a highlight video. Considering the price (over 20 bucks) I was surprised the production value wasn't a little better. Most of the highlights are taken from ground level, and in most cases they don't use the shots from those who televised games. The Pitt game and Sugar Bowl are a little better than some of the others. If you really want a keepsake of the season, this is pretty good--esp. if you like to see some behind the scenes stuff. But if not, pass on it.

Saga is an industrious 11-year-old girl who lives with her grandmother in a small Northern European town. While running errands, she stumbles across Sugar, a tiny apprentice Snow Fairy. Saga is the only human who can see Sugar and her fellow-apprentices Sun Fairy Salt and Wind Fairy Pepper. The trio moves into Saga's room and follows her wherever she goes. Her friends Norma and Anne, her self-styled rival Greta, and her teacher all wonder why Saga has started talking to what looks like thin air. Sugar plays like a cross between Cardcaptor Sakura and the old Strawberry Shortcake cartoons. Although her design is aggressively cute, Sugar fusses and whines, while Saga is a Goody Two-Shoes--they both get tiresome. Sugar scored a big hit in Japan in 2001, and the series will appeal to fans of big-eyed, self-consciously adorable anime who find Hamtaro too edgy. (Rated 3 and older) --Charles Solomon

Description

Saga, living in a small European town, meets a tiny little fairy that no one else can see. The fairy's name is Sugar, and she looks for a "Twinkle" to become a full-fledged Snow Fairy! After Saga takes Sugar home, her life is full of fairies as Sugar's friends Wind Fairy Pepper and Sun Fairy Salt arrives to play and help keep Sugar out of trouble. If only someone else could see what Saga is going through…

Even imported it to Europe.......2004-08-26

Since Snow Fairy Sugar is not available in Europe I even underwent all the trouble (like sailing around the country code...) and additional costs importing this super cute series. I did this because I'm such a fairy fan and because I really love the better and even mystical japanese anime art. Design and art of Snow Fairy Sugar are breath-taking; the characters are real and loveable; the story is superb; the music wonderful; only animation is a bit poor (as usual... although still better than most other animes). If you are a big or a little child and like anime movies like Heidi - Girl of the Alps, Spirited Away and Kiki's Deliveri Service, you surely will love this series too. It is laden with feelings and magic and there is absolutely no stupid hack-and-slay. More please.

Life is full of ups and downs.......2004-05-23

The words of Mr Luchino, the nice fellow that Saga works for, but also a concise summary of the roller coaster that Saga goes through in the four episodes of this volume. While Volume Four was mainly concerned with Sugar and her friends' search for "twinkle", this volume shifts back to the life of Saga. In the first episode Sugar doesn't return from her trip with the other season fairies on time, causing some distress for Saga. An experience that's all too familiar for most of us. In the second episode, the town has its annual festival. Everyone comes out dressed in their traditional clothes and celebrates the local culture. A very enjoyable and fun episode that ends with the best fireworks display that I've ever seen done with animation. The third episode is concerned with cleanup after the festival and includes many flashbacks to previous scenes from earlier in the series. It also gives a nice lead-in to the fourth episode. I won't say much about episode 20 to avoid spoiling for anyone. In this episode, Saga must deal with a personal loss and it is just a wonderfully beautiful presentation that deeply touched me. A powerful display of the Saga character as a human person that left me very impressed by the quality of this production. I would recommend Snow Fairy Sugar for anyone that enjoys anime or drama or both, young and old alike.

All You Need To Know About Sugar.......2007-04-21

I have suffered from hypoglycemia my entire life and learning from Mary Toscano's video about how much sugar is "hidden" in many packaged foods. I've changed my snack choices as a consequence, cut back on sugary foods in general and feel way more energetic! Mary makes biochemistry and metabolism completely accessible to the layperson in this fun video. It's the best biology class ever! But it deals with choices we all make every day as to what we put into our bodies, and what results we can expect as a consequence. Everyone should understand the devastating effects a high-sugar diet can have on the entire body. Don't miss this if you want to feel good and be healthy for life.

I love this video!.......2007-03-19

I am a 17-year-old girl that is very interested in nutrition. After watching this video, I fell in love with it. It is something that everybody absolutely needs to see no matter what his or her previous knowledge of nutrition is. Mary Toscano demonstrates what a good balance of carbohydrates looks like and how it affects us when we are not in balance. After watching this video I was motivated to make better choices in my diet because I had found out what the right choices were. I already had known what I thought was a lot about nutrition, but after viewing this video I understood the role of carbohydrates in my life on much more fundamental level. I was shocked to hear some of the information she was presenting. I just didn't know. I think it's important especially for teenagers to watch this so they don't become fatties and moody like the rest of my generation. When kids (or anyone) eats badly they become unhealthy, fat, pissed off and don't exercise. The things Mary Toscano has to say really help with those problems. The way it's presented is so easy to understand, you don't need to be a genius to get it, and you don't need to be especially interested in nutrition to be interested in what she has to say. This video is a must see!

Gentle presentation of the harsh facts.......2007-03-02

I've struggled with sugar for most of my life -- eating it, not eating it, trying to not eat it and failing, trying to control how much I eat of it and failing, avoiding it completely but at great emotional cost, and so on. I knew the problem had something to do with my blood sugar levels and adrenaline, but I never before understood the chemistry as clearly as I do now, after watching SWEET FIRE.

Toscano presents the scientific information in a way that is clear and vivid (and sometimes funny), but she herself seems non-threatening and non-judgemental. I appreciate her gentle, yet down-to-earth, approach. She gives her audience the information about how our bodies handle sugar, so we can make our own decisions, but (thank goodness) she does NOT preach about what we should or should not eat.

Her attitude, along with the information she makes clear, reinforce my desire and ability to abstain from eating refined sugars and carbohydrates. It's a big effort, but it's helpful to me to have someone smart and knowlegable who seems to be on my side (and on the side of my health and wellbeing). That's how the video's author comes across, and I appreciate it. I have shared the video with my partner and am looking forward to sharing it with a few other friends.

Health Conscious Mom.......2006-10-07

I strive on a daily basis to teach my children how to eat healthy. Mary Toscano appeals to all age levels when discussing sugar's role in a "healthy lifestyle". I recommend this video for people of all ages.
