SARAH BRIGHTMAN - SYMPHONY NEW RELEASE CD

Before getting this album, I had only listened to Sarah on the Phantom recordings and her duets with Andrea Bocelli. But I happened to catch the PBS TV special of Symphony Live in Vienna and I really enjoyed all the music. My favorites on this are Gothica, Fleurs Du Mal and Running, but I tend to play the entire CD over and over. I also love the artwork of the cover and Sarahs wardrobe. If you are a fan of Sarah, this is a must have album.

=========================================

Her smooth, transparent high soprano, her angelic voice puts me in the sky just like when I fly my airplane. When I'm flying above the clouds, it's nothing but wonderful feeling. That's what Sarah Brightman's voice does that to me.

==============================================

What a great selection of music! I love the way she mixes it up with rock at the beginning, classical numbers and guest duets. Even the melancholy songs come out beautifully. So much emotion in every song! Thanks to Sarah for providing us with another creative album of music to enjoy.

From Miramax Films comes one of the most honored and acclaimed motion pictures of the year, Doubt. Based on the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning play, Doubt is a mesmerizing, suspense-filled drama with four riveting performances from Meryl Streep, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Adams and Viola Davis that will have you pinned to the edge of your seat. Sister Aloysius Beauvier (Streep), the rigid and fear-inspiring principal of the Saint Nicholas Church School, suffers an extreme dislike for the progressive and popular parish priest Father Flynn (Hoffman). Looking for wrongdoing in every corner, Sister Aloysius believes she's uncovered the ultimate sin when she hears Father Flynn has taken a special interest in a troubled boy. But without proof, the only thing certain is doubt. Nominated for 5 Golden Globes and 6 Critics' Choice awards, there is no Doubt it is "One of the best pictures of the year,"

God is immanent in the five elements - Earth, Water, Fire, Wind and Ether. Since there is no place in creation where the five elements do not exist, it can be concluded that God is all-pervasive. And yet, why is man unable to experience this divinity? Though water reflects objects, the image, unlike the object, is not steady. Similarly, man cannot be a perfect image of God if he has a wavering mind. Such a mind leads to confusion and depression, and with such a mind, a seeker can never realise the divinity within. What is essential for a steady mind is the control of the five senses and a ceiling on desires.

Tropic Thunder - available now on DVD

Well, Tropic Thunder didn't win anything Sunday night. But that doesn't take away the fact that Robert Downey was the funniest thing in this movie. He an Aussie playing a white American playing An African-American soldier. Actually its a movie about a movie about Vietnam. Do I have that right?

From the fake trailors to the bridge explosion, this movie had me laughing until my belly hurt. This is a great movie with excellent acting, specifically Robert Downey Junior. This is a must have for any movie collection, especially those who enjoy comedy. The only drawback was I hoped for more outakes. But the movie alone was hilarious, and see if you can spot Tom Cruise!

7 POUNDS - COMING SOON ON DVD

I was very intrigued by the trailers for this movie and was surprised at what the move really was about. Frankly, I was greatly surprised. More and more, lately, Will Smith has been doing upbeat movies with a message. Similar in genre to what he did with "Pursuit of Happiness", pounds has more of a 'pay it forward' theme. The story is one of redemption for how he ruined his life in seven seconds as the trailers tells us. Too many movies offer trite stories with little or no meaning. It is really enjoyable to see a very gifted actor, working across from other gifted actors and delivering top performances. This is a happy/sad movie. Happiness toward the ones receiving and grieving along with those who suffer. Rosario Dawson does a very credible role as a very nice person whose life is slowing ebbing as she awaits a heart donor. I first saw Dawson on Million Dollar Password and she was a really nice person, looks like Smith really likes to have nice people around him in his movies. Harrelson does a believable job as a man suffering from blindness, but, with all his troubles, he is an affable human being. Throughout the movie, Smith looks for kind/humble people who he feels are deserving of special attention. He has friends, had a great career and a brother who cares about and worries for him. Touching and a bit of a tear jerker, Seven Pounds delivers emotions and will get you thinking about your neighbor. Hooray for great movies and stories like 'Seven Pounds.'

NEW IN DVD - STEP UP 2 ( THE STREETS)

Jon Chu directs this feel-good sequel about pursuing what you love and finding yourself along the way. Andie (Briana Evigan, daughter of actor Greg Evigan) is a tough Baltimore teen who grew up dancing and is now part of the 410, the hottest dance crew in the city and reigning champions of the Streets, an underground dance competition. Unable to control Andie's rebellious ways, her guardian, Sarah (Sonja Sohn), has decided to send her to Texas to live with her aunt. But Andie has one last chance to stay with her crew in her beloved Baltimore: the Maryland School of the Arts (MSA). Unfortunately, maintaining her studies at MSA means less time with the 410. To make matters worse, Andie is having a hard time fitting in at her new high school, where tradition is revered and being outside the box is frowned upon. Luckily, she has a partner in crime in classmate Chase Collins (Robert Hoffman), whose stuffy brother, Blake (Will Kemp), is the school's director and a constant thorn in his younger brother's side. When the 410 boots Andie out, she and Chase find their own crew of overlooked MSA dancers and take it all the way to the Streets.

The real star of STEP UP 2: THE STREETS is the amazing dancing and there's plenty of it. From the opening scene in a Baltimore subway to the playground to studio rehearsals to the Streets, these kids give it everything they've got. Channing Tatum briefly reprises his role as Tyler Gage, who knows Andie from the neighborhood. All of the MSA and 410 dancers are exceedingly talented, but Mari Koda's few lines as Jenny Kido are scene-stealers.
