Good workout, but old..........2007-05-24

This set is good b/c it offers a variety of lengths and a few different steps, so you can easily fit to how much time you have. It is set in the 80s or 90s, so it is an older version, but the workout is still good. She is a real person and not cheesy, but a good, low impact workout.

Yuck!!!.......2007-05-13

This was clearly recorded in the early 80's when she was trying to refine her style and figure out what worked and what didn't. The studio/design elements were horrible. The camera shots were very amateur. I didnt like how it went from Mile 1 to Mile 2 to Mile 3 with obvious breaks in between. It is terrible! I had Walk Away the Pound on VHS and was looking to upgrade to DVD. I figured I would buy it on Amazon and save myself some money. In the end it was a waste of money because I had to go to Leslie Sansone's website to order a more recent workout program and boy was it worth it.

good but it could be better.......2007-05-07

I used to watch the walk show on demand tv and it was pretty good, but this dvd kind of disappointed me because it looks like old. No one in 2007 wants to exercise with a dvd from the 90's so I really hated that part.

Other than that it's pretty good. The exercise is low impact, but it works, if you make the 3 miles you will notice some pain in your muscles at the next day. The third mile is definitely KILLER, oh gosh! was hard to finish that one.

fitnes dvd........2007-03-09

What do you do when you're given the deadline for the end of the world? Steve De Jarnatt's insidiously clever and utterly gripping nuclear thriller begins as a romantic lark--amiable swing trombonist Anthony Edwards meets girl of his dreams Mare Winningham--and turns into a nightmarish vision of society out of control. It all turns on the chance pick-up of a ringing pay phone at 4 a.m. and a panicked voice breathlessly warning Edwards that World War III has been launched. Genuine wake-up call or elaborate prank? De Jarnatt plays his hand close to the chest, which only increases the unnerving tension as word spreads like a contagion. Future E.R. star Edwards is perfectly cast as the everyman driven to reckless desperation and director De Jarnatt creates wonders on a small budget. His vision of L.A.'s Miracle Mile gripped in the blind panic of a careening traffic jam is both believable and chilling. --Sean Axmaker

Description

What would you do if you knew you only had an hour to live? This intense, "eerily euphoric" (TheNew York Times) romantic thriller stars Anthony Edwards ("ER") and Mare Winningham (Georgia) in a frighteningly plausible story that "yanks you by the lapels and draws you onto a high-velocity roller coaster" (Houston Post)! After 30 years of searching, Harry (Edwards) has finally met the girl of his dreams. Unfortunately, before they even have a chance to go on their first date, Harry intercepts some chilling news: WWIII has begun and nuclear missiles will destroy Los Angeles in less than an hour! Not sure if this is a prank or an omen, Harry races through LA, fighting angry mobs of terrified people in a desperate search for Julie (Winningham), the one person with whom he wants to spend the last moments of his life.

Taut, suspenseful movie.......2007-07-04

I just watched this again for the first time since it came out and it still gripped me.

The first 30 minutes make you think you're watching a love story. Then, through a series of unfortunate and unforeseen events, the protagonist misses his date and ends up in front of a payphone at 4:00 AM trying to get in touch with his date when the phone suddenly rings. He answers it...

... and all Hell breaks loose. This movie will keep your gut clemched and you're mind racing, trying to guess whether it's for real or just a horrible misunderstanding right up to the last minute of the film.

Was it a joke phone call or the real thing?
Is Landa insane or is she for real?

I removed one star because of the ending. The film steamrolls from the answered call forward and then slams you into the brickwall of an ending rather than go around it. Some people like that type of ending. Done right, I do too. Not this one.

Still, one very frightening movie. Highly recommended.

Is that all there is?.......2007-06-13

What plays for the most part like a sufficiently zany second fiddle to Scorsese's "After Hours" also ends in the most unsatisfying way I've had the misfortune to sit through. This is supposed to be a love story at heart -- else our bespectacled hero Harry Washello, played by Anthony Edwards, closer to "Revenge of the Nerds" than "E.R.," would not kiss asphalt at 40 mph to rescue love interest Julie "I-lost-the-fight-with-my-lawnmower" Peters, played by Mare Winningham, as nuclear winter looms on the horizon. Yet when all is said and done, this is a defeatist romance at best. It's as if there were two scriptwriters butting heads on the set, one attempting something like a precursor to "Four-Eyed Monsters;" the other trying to make a statement about the threat of nuclear war and other meathead qualities of our modern-day Gomorrah. And the moral lesson trumps anything Cupid can cook up, leaving the doomed couple staring at one another uncomfortably in the film's rather unmiraculous final moments.

Still, the film merits three stars because Edwards really takes to portraying the 30-something, trombone-playing loner who as the movie starts finally meets the woman of his dreams, then becomes the recipient of a wrongly-dialed doomsday message. The supporting cast is up to the task as mayhem builds -- particularly Kurt Fuller in a gonzo scenestealer as the go-to guy when you need a helicopter in a jiffy. And somebody was definitely having fun crafting scenes like the witching-hour health club, in which our Armageddon-whistleblowing everyman Harry comes off as less stable than the coke-crazed, vaseline-slathered fitness freaks who populate the club. But then, sadly, "Mile" fumbles at the 1-yard line.

Quirky but enjoyable film.......2007-05-31

Anthony Edwards (ER)plays a musician and romantic who finds the love of his life on the same day that he finds out the world is coming to an end. That is the basic premise of this quirky and eccentric film. At the same time he arrives late for his date with his dreamgirl he intercepts a phone call from someone telling him that the world will end in 1 hour. He then shares this strange and prophetic message with the oddball night characters at an all night diner. Everything gets crazy as he then decides to take the extra time to save his new love.

This enjoyable movie was made in the late 1980s when the anxiety and worry about a possible superpower nuclear showdown, USA vs USSR, was still real and palpable. There are some interesting performances here. Denise Crosby (Star Trek Next Generation) character takes this information right to heart and pulls out all the stops to get out of town fast. Myleti T. Williamson (Heat, Forrest Gump) plays a petty criminal who gets caught up in the hysteria by accident. They are other fine performances by actors you will immediately recognize. And it's fun to take notice of the things that seemed to change right after this movie was made. By the early 90s the threat of the USSR- gone. Soon after that pay phones began to disappear. People walking around restaurants and other public places with a cigarette in tow- gone (thankfully). Brick sized mobile phones- gone.

Filmed in LA and mostly at night this low budget movie is suitably accompanied by the music of Tangerine Dream. This surreal movie stays interesting and fun from beginning to end.

The one real GREAT DVD that I ever had to give away.................2006-12-15

Yes that right! This is a very powerfully sad and engaging movie. Even after the first time I saw it on HBO in early 90's, this movie completely fails to lose its punch and depravity. All I can say is that after I viewed this with my wife, (we viewed it, casually enjoying the setup process), and when the heat got turned up, we didn't say another word till the very very end. From the not quite over the top, but truly believable acting of Anthony Edwards to the quiet feminity and perky persona of Mare Whittingham's character all the way to the very end with the musical score of Tangerine Dream. This movie will haunt you for all the wrong reasons. It now belongs to someone else.

Average movie.......2006-10-29

Like most movies of this kind, you leave depressed. You know the ending before you start. The bomb falls and everybody dies.

The Miracle Mile with Leslie Sansone targets those looking for a basic low-impact fitness plan. This 20-minute program incorporates 15 minutes of walking and five minutes of toning exercises that will help any beginner get started on the right track. Instructor Leslie Sansone is well informed and encouraging as the fundamentals of this in-home walking program are explained. Sansone jazzes up standard walking by incorporating wide strides, front kicks, and side steps. The choreography is simple and repeats enough times that even the most rhythmically challenged participant will catch on after a few tries. The inner and outer thighs get some work here with adduction and abduction exercises, while the upper body becomes central to attaining a full range of motion. Periodically throughout the session the Fit O' Meter (a bar at the bottom of the screen that keeps track of the time, distance, and pace of your walk) reminds participants how far they have come. Sansone closes the Miracle Mile with lunges, pushups, and sit-ups and offers great cuing on alignment and muscle control. This program is safe, approachable, and just what you are looking for if you just can't seem to get started. --Olivia Voigts

Leslie's best.......2007-06-08

I am limited to walking videos due to fibromyalgia so I ordered this one after reading the positive reviews on it. I absolutely love this as it's an abbreviated version of her 2 mile walk that I thought was her best work. I enjoy both the shorter length, different moves and her keeping her very irritating chatter to a minimum. I gave away all but one of her tapes I had because I just can't stand her constant babbling anymore. On this one she's pretty professional, which is rare. Wish she would make more shorter and better quality workouts like this one. Highly recommended.

Happy with the Mile.......2007-06-08

DVD came fairly promptly and worked great. Use it almost daily.

Leslie Sansone-Miracle Mile.......2007-03-16

I was very disappointed in this DVD. The moves were more complicated than most of Leslie's walks. I doubt I will use this much.

Great for busy mom!.......2007-03-09

I really like this video. With 3 kids under five and 50 pounds of 'baby weight' to lose, I was looking for something to fit into my schedule. This is it! I can do this every day, in less than 20 minutes. The workout is easy to follow and does not involve any complicated dance moves. The music and clothes are dated but what can you expect? I would recommend this video for any busy mom who needs a workout that can be done quickly - even during baby's shortest nap!

All you have to do is pop it into the VCR and you can exercise in your pajamas if you wish.
