Set in a frontier world of bonnets and one-room schoolhouses, Love's Enduring Promise follows a headstrong young teacher named Missie (January Jones, Bandits), the daughter of Clark and Marty Davis (Dale Midkiff and Katherine Heigl) from previous prairie romance Love Comes Softly. After Clark injures himself in a woodcutting accident, the family farm is in danger of failing--until a handsome young stranger (Logan Bartholomew) helps out. Missie finds herself drawn to this man, but the intelligence and graciousness of young railroad magnate (Mackenzie Austin, How to Deal) appeals to a side of her that yearns to go beyond the hills and valleys of her childhood. What could be romantic froth becomes a quiet, well-paced, and thoughtful love story, thanks to a solid script, capable performances, and clean direction. Jones is particularly engaging; Missie could have been blandly virtuous, but Jones draws a rich and subtle range of emotions out of her scenes. Religious viewers will appreciate the movie's commitment to wholesome storytelling and clear moral perspective. Love's Enduring Promise, like Love Comes Softly, is based on a novel by Christian writer Janet Oke, though Love's Enduring Promise departs more from its source. --Bret Fetzer

Description

Clark and Marty Davis were caught in a "marriage of convenience" that over time turned into deep mutual respect and love. In this sequel, they now preside over a growing family in their little prairie house. But as they reach out to those in their frontier community, they discover that love is not limited by the size of a dwelling.

One of the best romantic comedies of the 1990s, My Best Friend's Wedding not only gave Julia Roberts a delightful vehicle for her crowd-pleasing comeback, but it further distinguished itself by avoiding the conventional plotting of the genre. Julia plays a prominent Chicago restaurant critic whose best friend (Dermot Mulroney) is a former lover from her college days with whom she'd made a binding pact: if neither of them were married by the age of 28, they'd marry each other. Just when they're about to reach the deadline of their agreement, Mulroney arrives in Chicago to introduce Roberts to his seemingly perfect fiancée (Cameron Diaz) and announce their wedding in just three days. That leaves the shocked Julia with just three short days to sabotage the wedding and marry the man she now realizes she's loved all along. With potential heartbreak waiting in the wings, she'll either get what she wants or pay the price for her selfish behavior, and Ronald Bass's cleverly constructed screenplay keeps us guessing to the very end. Rupert Everett scored rave reviews for his scene-stealing performance as Robert's gay friend who goes along with her scheming (but only so far), and even as she makes her character's needy desperation disarmingly appealing, Roberts wisely allows Diaz to capitalize on her charming time in the spotlight. As the romantic outcome remains uncertain, the viewer is held in a state of giddy suspense, and director P.J. Hogan pulls off some hilarious scenes (like a restaurant full of people singing the Dionne Warwick hit "I Say a Little Prayer") that could easily have fallen flat in the hands of a less talented filmmaker. It's no surprise that this was one of the box-office smashes of 1997. --Jeff Shannon

4 out of 5 stars Pleasantly surprised me.......2007-02-03

I never saw the this when it was released years ago basically b/c it seemed like a chick flick that wouldn't interest me.

It was on television recently and I caught the latter half of it (I now ordered the DVD b/c I want to see it all). Normally I wouldn't write a review until seeing the whole movie but I was truly blown away by some of the scenes, the clever writing and some of the performances.

There's a scene on a boat with Julia Roberts that was right out of a Hollywood romance classic. I don't want to spoil it nor build it up too much... but just after watching the scene I was like... wow, that was ...beautiful. IMHO it was an example of movie making at it's best.

So then I was hooked -and kept watching to find it's a great flick that I should have allowed myself to see years ago. Julia Roberts is a modern day Katherine Hepburn in this movie, she acts so incredibly well... balancing subtle expressions and comical ones perfectly to each scene. She's a gem.

The film isn't for everyone, but if you like clever romantic comedies "My Best Friends Wedding" should not be missed.

Even as Disney has reveled in the success of its high-end animated features, it occasionally sneaks a lesser effort into theaters, based on one of the many TV shows with which it dominates daytime TV. This one is based on perennial Disney favorite Goofy's adventures in domesticated bliss. Goofy is now a single dad; when son Max gets blamed for a prank gone wrong at school, Goofy blames himself and decides that, for his vacation, he's going to get away with Max alone. Of course, this is no treat for Max, who has just met the girl of his dreams and harbors no wish to spend the summer touring America with his square dad. The vacation is one disaster after another, though they aren't particularly funny disasters; the culmination involves Goofy's efforts to get Max backstage at a big rock concert. Strictly for young fans of the TV show. --Marshall Fine

Description

Now you can enjoy all the outrageous fun and laughter of Disney's most legendary comedian as he stars in his very own full-length motion picture! In the great tradition of quality Disney animation, A GOOFY MOVIE is a classic blend of irresistible characters, unforgettable music, and an endearing modern-day story about how the lovable Goof bonds with his teenage son Max on a hilarious cross-country road trip. En route to the ol' fishing hole, they find themselves up to their floppy ears in misadventure! Will Max learn there's nothing wrong with taking after dear old dad ... if he is a little goofy? The question is answered in the showstopping finale when Max and Goofy "crash the stage" at the most spectacular rock concert ever performed! Filled with action-packed scenes, narrow escapes -- even a comic close encounter with Bigfoot -- Disney's critically acclaimed hit comedy is a delightfully memorable adventure your family will love taking again and again!

5 out of 5 stars My Favorite Animated Disney Movie.......2007-06-07

I used to watch this on VHS with my sisters when we were younger. We watched it in the theaters and then forced our parents to buy us our own copy, which we watched all the time. I purchased this DVD last year and I STILL love it 12 years after its initial release.

I definitely thought this movie was funnier when I was a kid, but even now I think it's just as enjoyable as it was then. I love the songs-- we used to sing along when we were younger. I even bought the soundtrack!

And I have to admit, I think that this is one of Disney's best animated features. Better than The Emperor's New Groove (which I also loved), and even any of their computer animated offerings, including The Incredibles and definitely better than the awful Cars.

4 out of 5 stars Surprizingly awesome.......2007-03-10

I had forgotten how awesome this movie is- even for a grown-up, like me. It could do without all the songs (it was made before Disney wisely decided to ditch all the cheesy singing,) but it's brisk, double-layered humor more than makes up for it. Kids will think the gags are sufficiently silly. Adults will pick up on the nearly-sarcastic, nearly risque dialog, so rare in Disney animated movies. Plus, Big Foot dancing to 'Stayin' Alive' is just freaking hilarious.

Basically, it's just a Disney movie. But it's a *great (and severely under appreciated) Disney movie.

4 out of 5 stars Who's your favorite possum?.......2007-03-06

The title of my review is one of the most memorable quotes (to me, at least) in this movie. Maybe I won't remember the plot 20 years later, but I'll be able to shout "Who's your favorite possum?!" at my sister and she can respond, "Lester!" It was an amusment park (looked kinda like a tavern) that Goofy and Max went to on their 'trip'. I like the song they sing in the beginning when they are in a car.

-Octavia

5 out of 5 stars A definite classic.......2007-02-27

I used to watch the VHS copy of this with my son when he was very little. Now that he is 13 we still enjoy watching this movie. It has a great story and is very funny. A lot of parents could learn how to be a better parent by watching this movie.

4 out of 5 stars Why no widescreen?.......2007-02-25

I won't give a summary of the movie (many reviews have already done that) but I will say this. Why no widescreen? I believe the Region 2 version of this DVD got a widescreen presentation (though I'm not sure if it was enhanced for 16X9 televisions...), but why do the people stuck with Region 1 DVD players get stuck with the full screen version? I've seen the widescreen edition and it looks much better! The full screen version just looks like the sides got chopped off... the scenes feel a bit cramped. Aside from that flaw, this is a great DVD and worth buying, or at least renting. It also has an episode of Goof Troop as a bonus feature and a few other bonus features too. 4 stars only because of the absent widescreen version. Otherwise the movie is worth 5 stars, I just wish to see it in its original version.

The Promise came to American shores with endless hype about its visual splendor--and for once, the hype is deserved. Lush and luminous, almost every shot will make you want to weep from its sheer loveliness. A starving young orphan girl named Qingcheng is offered a deal by a capricious goddess: The girl will be staggeringly beautiful and have all the wealth, delicious food, and fabulous clothing she could ask for--but every man she ever loves will die. Thus begins a twisty tale in which a fleet-footed slave (Korean actor Dong-Kun Jang) and a mighty general (Japanese actor Hiroyuki Sanada, The White Countess) compete for the love of the adult Qingcheng (Hong Kong beauty Cecilia Cheung), while a vengeful usurper (Hong Kong star Nicholas Tse, Time and Tide) seeks to destroy them all. Like many of the classics of Hong Kong fantasy--such as A Chinese Ghost Story, Swordsman II, and Green Snake--The Promise combines the epic storylines of Chinese mythology with the headlong momentum and energetic editing of kung-fu action movies. The result can sometimes seem absurd to American audiences--though these same audiences will happily swallow the absurdities of American science fiction, simply because they're familiar with the conventions of the genre. Viewers who embrace the conventions of Hong Kong fantasy will find The Promise engaging and emotionally rich...and there's just no denying the gorgeousness. Compared with the sterile spectacle of the later Star Wars movies or the clumsy, labored Matrix sequels, The Promise bursts with human warmth, dynamic storytelling, and elegant design. More Western audiences should open themselves to its pleasures. --Bret Fetzer

Description

A new epic fantasy set in China's mythical past, "The Promise" is a visually stunning tale of passion that unfolds against a backdrop of war as a beautiful and mysterious princess becomes the object of affection for three very different men - a powerful Duke, a brave general and a lowly slave. As passions spark and egos clash, lives will be ruined and lovers spurned and no one will ever be the same.

2 out of 5 stars Great Concept But Fails In The End.......2007-05-29

In the beginning a starving young girl named Qingcheng is seen prying food out of the hands of dead soldiers in a forest. While running home to share her bread with her mother she drops it in a lake. As she starts to cry the bread is brought back to her by a goddess and she tells Qingcheng to eat the bread but she will not eat because she is saving it for her sick mother. The goddess tells Qingcheng that her mother is dead and then offers her a choice of riches and beauty but all men she falls in love for will die unless she can turn back time and undo what she has just done. She's a little girl with nowhere to go and no food so of course this deal is too tempting to pass up and she accepts. A while later during a battle of a 3000 man army defeating 20,000 barbarians a slave named Kunlun with a speedy gift is discovered while trying to outrun the barbarians.

Kunlun's ability impresses general Guangming also known as "Master of the Crimson Armor" and is taken in as a slave by the general. The general has been informed that the King is being attacked by Duke Wuhuan from the north but before he can get there he is attacked by Wuhuan's assassin Snow Wolf, the general is saved by Kunlan but receives a bad wound trying to defend himself. The general can't make the journey to protect the king and sends Kunlun with his crimson armor instead. The general tells Kunlun that the king will be the only one without a weapon. Kunlun goes to protect the king and when he arrives at the palace sees a man with a sword about to kill a beautiful woman and kills him before he can get to the woman and then flees with her. Kunlun eventually is cornered by Wuhuan's men and is told if he jumps into the waterfall behind him the princess will live but before he jumps he promises the princess he will never let her die.


This is one movie that had the money, a cool plot, and even had a good cast to support it. I think the first mistake was the director went crazy with his budget and though I do realize this is a fantasy movie but there is just too much. There was too much CGI and it was done ridiculously bad, there were fight scenes but they were bad fight scenes. The fights were awfully choreographed like the director got his child to choreograph the scenes for him. You could barely see anything when there was a fight because there was a weird cinematography that was used during the scenes, it will remind you of the type in "Warriors of Virtue" used in a bad way. The story goes everywhere before it ends, the princess's character is written poorly. She's supposed to be in deep love but how does fall in love with a guy she just met and then fall in love with another guy.

The thing with "The Promise" is not the back-story because it is interesting but the way it develops is crazy its too slow and makes feelings unrealistic. How can you truly believe that the princess is in love when she just met the guy and even worse isn't even the guy that she thinks saved her. Despite a bad script the actors keep you interested in the film until the end. The settings are undoubtedly beautiful, which is noticed right from the beginning, but the CGI should have been scrapped and done with more taste. The fights which were suppose to be a big part of this film could have helped give this film more interest and life but that fails. All you will be watching this film for is its gorgeous settings.

5 out of 5 stars Simply stunning!.......2007-05-29

I just saw this on dvd and have to say that it is simply stunning. I sat through it entirely mesmerized the whole time. The visuals are incredibly beautiful, the story was very engaging, and there's tons of action. Some of the scenes can seem somewhat silly, but as long as you realize that this is a fantasy film and let yourself be immersed in this fantasy world, you will enjoy it. I have the 103 min version, which I understand was shortened from the original 121 min version to make the story easier to understand. I sort of wished I had the longer version as I was sad the movie ended so soon.

3 out of 5 stars Rooting for the Bad Guy.......2007-05-11

Chen Kaige acted in "The Last Emperor" and directed "Farewell, My Concubine" that was nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film in 1993. My understanding is that this film made a lot of money in China; but for me it translates less well into our Western mindset. I enjoyed the fantasy part with the goddess giving Quingcheng a magic pact that she would be wealthy, but not have true love. Cecilia Cheung won Best Actress from the Hong Kong Film Awards for this film. She does a credible job as the woman who wants the one thing she cannot have, love. I saw Jang Dong-gun in the Korean film "The Coast Guard." As the slave Kunlun, he has giant puppy dog eyes for the lovely Quingcheng. His ability to run at the speed of lightning that comes from his childhood citizenship in the Land of Snow reminded me of watching an old Road Runner cartoon. After the death of his master, he agrees to be the slave of General Guangming. Hiroyuki Sanada who plays the general was in "The Last Samurai" that starred Tom Cruise. I couldn't quite guess what the attraction was that drew Quingcheng to him, but he fills the bravado of the character with excellence. I saw Nicholas Tse in a DVD that may no longer be available called "Gen X-Cops." While that wasn't the best of films, as the evil nemesis Wuhuan, he does a great job. Costumes and scene design are excellent and give the film an amazing look. Hollywood has been slow to adopt the emphasis on the visual that is now frequently seen in Asian cinema. The Golden Globes nominated this film as Best Foreign Language Film in 2005. For me, it didn't play quite as well. It was certainly an epic journey filled with action and romance, but by the end of the film I wasn't all that connected to the characters. I think I most enjoyed Nicholas Tse's nefarious Wuhuan; so you know a film didn't work when you're rooting for the bad guy. It is still worth seeing given that expectations are not too high. Enjoy!

4 out of 5 stars Another richly appointed costuming and set department........2007-05-01

The story, very basically, is that a girl meets up with a spirit or goddess, not sure which, but that she will have wealth, but she will never know love, and that any man she does love will leave or die. Enter the handsome bad guy in the movie, and the good looking hero. There's several story lines going on. There's a captain who falls in love with her (lust more like), the servant who actually saved her in the first place who truly loves her, and the good looking bad guy who wants to possess her as a trophy. The servant type hero character is actually the last of a village the handsome bad guy wiped out, and so, he finds out that he has special abilities too.

There are parts of this movie that movie a bit slowly, but the sets, the dialogue, the story itself and the beautiful costuming come together to make this a movie worth seeing. Good luck finding it at rental stores, but if you like Asian Fantasy movies with vivid colours, moving storylines, action, adventure and richly made costumes, then you should make the effort to see this one.

4 out of 5 stars a beautiful myth.......2007-04-14

I really liked this film. The cinematography, editing, and music make it a joy to watch. It's a great story about a love triangle, loyalty, regret, and self-sacrifice. The hero, the slave, is especially endearing.

5 out of 5 stars If you like Sade.......2007-02-05

This DVD will appeal primarily to those fans of Sade. Many of the videos are dated, but are still worth seeing. The 5.1 mix is good, and the option of adding subtitled lyrics is helpful if you can't understand all the lyrics.

5 out of 5 stars sade.....what can i say boys????.......2006-02-26

nothing compares to listening to sade in a perfect accoustic room. JBL speakers make the difference.

5 out of 5 stars Sade-Life Promise Pride Love.......2005-08-03

I could not wait to get this item as I have always loved Sade's classic style. I was extremely delighted to see all her music videos on one DVD. It brought back great memories. The DVD also includes a new DVD and biography. I can't think of any way it could have been improved. I love it!!!!!

5 out of 5 stars The Sweetest Taboo.......2004-10-20

I purchased this DVD because at the time, her greatest hits CD was sold out. As luck would have it, it was on sale in the DVD section of the store. I won't divulge the price, but I will admit that it was a lot cheaper than the CD! I bought it, and Oh My God! The videos encompass the majority of her hits. What an exotic, sultry siren. Words simply cannot describe this artist. All the hits I was looking for were there. So now I have a choice. When I just want to see her beautiful videos with alluring story lines, I pop in the DVD. When I want to hear her beautiful music, I simply turn the television off. Lucky me! Enjoy!

5 out of 5 stars GREAT VIDEO COLLELCTION!!!!.......2004-09-02

This is a nice video collection of all of SADE's hits I like it and enjoy it a lot. If you like SADE then therefore you should buy this Video Collection it is a must have any SADE fan!!!!!

5 out of 5 stars As relevant as ever.......2007-06-20

I love this movie, and Valerie Bertinelli is darling in it. Why aren't more of her movies available on DVD? In these days of war after war, and threats of more war, this movie has even more relevancy than when it was made, which was well after the Vietnam war was over. Today everybody knows young lovers who married sooner than they planned because one of them was deployed. "The Promise of Love" has the central theme of love lost, hearts broken and families crushed by the untimely loss of their young to the jaws of war. I cry my eyes out each time I watch it. This isn't an anti-war movie really, nor does it give much treatment to the anti-war movement of the Vietnam era, but it does bring home the damage and loss to those left behind when young people march to war.

3 out of 5 stars The Promise Of Love.......2005-08-31

I thought this movie was pretty good considering it was a made for TV movie. I am a big Valerie Bertinelli fan so, I enjoyed viewing this film and giving a positive review on it. Her acting skills were excellent and it was her first TV movie while still appearing on One Day At A Time.

I highly recommend this film to any Valerie Bertinelli fan. You won't be disappointed.

2 out of 5 stars Movie is Good But DVD is Bad.......2003-12-09

One of the better made for TV movies, but the DVD copy I got is of a poor quality (although watchable)!If your a Val Fan its worth the low end price! Otherwise if you want a better than VHS quality recording then pass on this one and wait for the 2nd generation print!

    One of the best romantic comedies of the 1990s, My Best Friend's Wedding not only gave Julia Roberts a delightful vehicle for her crowd-pleasing comeback, but it further distinguished itself by avoiding the conventional plotting of the genre. Julia plays a prominent Chicago restaurant critic whose best friend (Dermot Mulroney) is a former lover from her college days with whom she'd made a binding pact: if neither of them were married by the age of 28, they'd marry each other. Just when they're about to reach the deadline of their agreement, Mulroney arrives in Chicago to introduce Roberts to his seemingly perfect fiancée (Cameron Diaz) and announce their wedding in just three days. That leaves the shocked Julia with just three short days to sabotage the wedding and marry the man she now realizes she's loved all along. With potential heartbreak waiting in the wings, she'll either get what she wants or pay the price for her selfish behavior, and Ronald Bass's cleverly constructed screenplay keeps us guessing to the very end. Rupert Everett scored rave reviews for his scene-stealing performance as Robert's gay friend who goes along with her scheming (but only so far), and even as she makes her character's needy desperation disarmingly appealing, Roberts wisely allows Diaz to capitalize on her charming time in the spotlight. As the romantic outcome remains uncertain, the viewer is held in a state of giddy suspense, and director P.J. Hogan pulls off some hilarious scenes (like a restaurant full of people singing the Dionne Warwick hit "I Say a Little Prayer") that could easily have fallen flat in the hands of a less talented filmmaker. It's no surprise that this was one of the box-office smashes of 1997. --Jeff Shannon

    I was very glad this movie didn't end up being a silly romance and break the couple up just to rekindle an old relationship! A good watch for a dull Saturday afternoon.

    4 out of 5 stars Pleasantly surprised me.......2007-02-03

    I never saw the this when it was released years ago basically b/c it seemed like a chick flick that wouldn't interest me.

    It was on television recently and I caught the latter half of it (I now ordered the DVD b/c I want to see it all). Normally I wouldn't write a review until seeing the whole movie but I was truly blown away by some of the scenes, the clever writing and some of the performances.

    There's a scene on a boat with Julia Roberts that was right out of a Hollywood romance classic. I don't want to spoil it nor build it up too much... but just after watching the scene I was like... wow, that was ...beautiful. IMHO it was an example of movie making at it's best.

    So then I was hooked -and kept watching to find it's a great flick that I should have allowed myself to see years ago. Julia Roberts is a modern day Katherine Hepburn in this movie, she acts so incredibly well... balancing subtle expressions and comical ones perfectly to each scene. She's a gem.

    The film isn't for everyone, but if you like clever romantic comedies "My Best Friends Wedding" should not be missed.

    5 out of 5 stars One of my favorite film experiences ever.......2005-07-25

    This is definitely the best Iranian film I've seen. It collapses fiction and documentary into an absolutely unique, humorous and overwhelmingly moving statement about violent political idealism and its collision with the realities of life and love. In the 70's, the filmmaker was a teenage Islamic militant fighting against the Shah. He stabbed a policeman and was jailed. Years later he became famous director. A man knocked at his front door and said, "I'm the policeman you stabbed. I want to be in one of your films. You owe me." The director said, "Let's make a film about what happened." This film is a reenactment/documentary about the making of that film and it blows me away every time.

    3 out of 5 stars Unusual Kids Movie with no Children in the Story.......2007-05-02

    It is unusual to see a kid's movie with no children in the movie, but this is one such movie. At least, either it is intended for children or for extremely juvenile adults who like talking dogs! It also uses just about every subplot used in children's movies, except for orphans. I guess the dogs take the place of orphans. That said, it does try to give lots of good little lessons in ethics or morality, or just sage advice for life that children should learn. I gave it an average rating because I thought the ending was quite corny. This is one movie kids can mostly safely watch (there are a few swear words used), and I think most kids would like it; however, it is not worth seeking out to see it. If you find it in the Wal-Mart movie 'dump bin' or for rent, if you want something kids can watch, get it and let them see it. Parents can point out the many 'lessons of life' as they notice them in the movie.

    1 out of 5 stars Do not waste your time.......2007-04-09

    To say that this movie was awful would be giving it a better review than it deserves. There are only two purposes this movie could serve. One, film students should watch it to learn how not to direct, how not to act, how not to write, etc. The second purpose would be to extract confessions from enemy combatants. Anyone forced to watch this lame movie more than once would confess to anything. I love dogs and was trying to find a movie that my mother-in-law would enjoy as well. No one in the house liked this movie. Even the dog left the room.

    1 out of 5 stars What a waste of time..........2007-03-15

    I have to agree with TKD Mom and "A Kid's Review". This movie was absolutely horrible! My husband picked it because he thought it would be good. Needless to say, after picking this one, he is no longer allowed to choose movies without the rest of the family's approval. :) The acting was terrible and the story line was even worse. "A Kid's Review" had it right - they should've ended the movie in a different way and a lot sooner than they did. My feeling on this movie is that someone was obviously dreaming (sleeping) when they came up with the plot and then apparently had enough money to put it all on film. This movie should've stayed in someone's head, or at the most, on paper. Please, please do not waste your time or money on this film. Would not even recommend renting - unless you want a good laugh at bad acting and a terrible storyline.

    1 out of 5 stars Most ridiculous movie we've ever seen.......2007-03-08

    My children (ages 12, 9, and 6), my parents, and I watched this movie today and were all extremely disappointed. The story started out okay, but by the end of the movie we were all wondering why we wasted our time on something so ridiculously stupid. The acting left a lot to be desired. Also, it was extremely obvious almost all the time that the dog was looking at its trainer. The least they could have done was position the trainer behind the actor to make it look like it was actually paying attention to the character (like they did in Lassie). We also agree with the kid's review that the ending was very dumb. When we got to that part, we were all commenting on how we were disappointed that we had wasted 95 minutes of time for the movie to end the way it did. It was unbelievable and, as I've said before, ridiculous. Don't waste your money on this movie. I wouldn't even recommend you rent it.

    1 out of 5 stars Terrible!.......2007-01-28

    This is dumbest and goofiest movie I ever saw in my entire life! I mean at first it was a great storyline and then they ruined it. Near the end they ruined it by making jerry die and still having a wedding without him and that whole 10 years later thing was so stupid! I mean it is rediculous! I tell you they had a good story and they ruined it! They should have just left it to where they got married, Jerry reunites with his father, they get $10 million, they later on build a shelter in toby's name, and live happily ever after and have kids. That is how I would have made the movie.
