question:
Horrible Audio, No Teaching . These other reviewers are kidding you. There are significant problems with this dvd. 1. The audio on this dvd is horrible. It sounds like they are talking and singing through a tube. I could have done better in my garage. 2. The tracks are: all the singing and stories in english, or the same program in Mandarin. There is no teaching whatsoever. I realize there are not many dvd's for teaching children Mandarin, however there are a few better than this
answer:
NEG

question:
Superb value package . If Bette Davis is not remembered as the best actress to come out of Hollywood in the Golden Era, she certainly was thought so at the time and this package easily demonstrates the range of her talent. This set, compared to Volume One, which contains obvious Davis hits, covers a wider period of her career from 1937 to 1962. Two favourite Davis films, "The Man Who Came to Dinner" and "Marked Woman" are included. More detailed reviews of each of these films can be viewed under their individual titles so by way of a quick summary: - "Marked Woman" is a sensational 1937 film about prostitutes who go to court to get their gangster pimp incriminated. This was the first film Davis made after she walked out of Warner Brothers and was sued for breach of contract. She lost and returned to the studio but with a new found respect. She gives an intense performance and the film is very exciting with a great downbeat ending. - "Jezebel" is the 1938 film for which Davis won her second Oscar, a precursor to "Gone with the Wind" and directed superbly by William Wyler. The film is a soap opera about a willful Southern girl and would fall into trivia without Davis's subtle performance and Wyler's attention to detail. - "Dark Victory" from 1939 was possibly Davis's favourite role about a Long Island socialite with a brain tumour. The film is a tour de force for Davis who might have won another Oscar if the film had been released in a different year. - "The Man Who Came to Dinner" is an ensemble piece, an excellent version of the 1941 Kaufman and Hart Broadway Hit. Davis supports Monty Woolley, a character based on Alexander Woolcott, who hilariously dominates the film. - "Old Acquaintance" from 1943 maybe the quintessential woman's picture with Davis starring with rival Miriam Hopkins. It is a picture which resonated with "woman's issues" in 1943 and was remade in the 80's as "Rich and Famous". - "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane" is the famous teaming with Joan Crawford in a baroque tragedy which has become a cult (and camp) classic. The film was shot on a small budget and in 3 weeks and it shows. The extras alone make up hours of additional viewing which enhance the films immeasurably, although some of the commentaries are poor with far too much gossip about Davis's overanalysed relationship with Joan Crawford. Best of all, the excellent documentary "Stardust: The Bette Davis Story" has been included. The Collection is great value

question:
Many new turns during an overall great season 3! . The Shield is one of those shows I think that will attain even more pop culture status as time goes on, even long after it leaves the airwaves. The show is centered on cops who do corrupt things in order to ultimately put a major smash into the drug and arms trades in Los Angeles. I've spent my reviews of season one and two going in depth on how the camera's angles are unique and how each character has a ton to contribute to the show. This time I'm simply going to tell you little bits and pieces of what is going on with season three, and it will probably not make any difference because if you have already seen one and two, you know you have to go back for more! Season three tends to get deep in two areas. The one area is the character development. Mackey's ongoing separation from his wife, coupled with finding out his second child is also autistic is a big downer, but besides that he's also laying pipe everywhere east of L.A. so it apparently isn't bothering him as much as he'd like to let on. Things between him and Shane Vendrell start to go south quickly. Shane and Vic were always good friends but as the pressure for the team to produce results as well as keep secrets and stay within boundaries mounts, Vic starts pulling back, starts easing off. This action does a boomerang effect for Shane Vendrell, who launches forward with more reckless abandon on cases than never before! Despite all the drama in their personal lives (Yes, Julian the African American cop, is still gay, still a devout Christian to the point of fanatically, and still married to a women he's trying to have a child with) the street lives are alive more than ever. Rival Gangs, horrible hit squads, CI's (Confidential Informer) and sting operations happen in a one two three punch combination throughout the series. Kicking off-season three, we have two gangs who are bad, mad and territorial. They are the Byz Latz and the One-Niners. Oh and did I mention they both acquire massive amounts of MP-5 submachine guns to try and further their struggles? The Armenian mob of course, is still in the ongoing storyline from season 2, and its not getting pretty. People are still showing up with they're feet cut off, and it looks like they are not going to stop. Where did their money go, and who shot two of their men when it was taken? Oh well, excuse us, we're the Armenian mob, and our money train is gone, so its time to hack off more feet! Speaking of the money train, Vic decided to use some of it in an undercover operation, only to accidentally circulate it back into the drug trade. What Vic doesn't know is that there was someone else watching the Armenians, and slipped in ten thousand dollars worth of MARKED BILLS. The Strike team is in hot water as well as the "Decoy Squad" is now implemented to ultimately take over their job after a trial run. This is how great this series is, you take a bunch of newbies and chuck them into an ongoing plot and all they do is ADD their talent in acting and screen presence to the table. Some interesting heat will come down on the decoy squad, as well as something terrible happening to Juliens former partner Tommy. The corruption and mystery within the crime community runs deep, but doesn't ever lose us much. On the surface we still are able to keep up with the Strike team walking the line between good cop/bad cop, and gangs galore continue to wreak havoc in the streets. The drama and problems with EACH character continues to mount to the point you think it will crash before winning. Wrong again, these stories are tightly written and really do a good job to keep us intrigued because lets face it, like life, in the Shield you never know what is going to happen next. The last few episodes are pretty intense. The strike team gets dissolved and Shane gets partnered up with a new guy named "Army" (he's an Iraq war veteran). Shane and Vic have a showdown of sorts, which really comes from all of the money issues and changed tactics involved in the money train. Season four will surprise you as well as please you, as it will see the roles of these 2 friends change quickly enough. Season three starts off a little slow but considering the buildup to the ongoing storylines that are really turning into quite the dramatic and suspenseful mini-epics we hoped they would be, it's well worth the weight. Claudette and Dutch are still there cracking cases every day. Aceveda also appears to be going over the edge and it will be interesting to see if he can ever come back in the future
