funny

south park gets better and better as it progresses. i lauged hareder for this season than i did for the last!

"Timmy! Live-a-lie Timmy..."

This is definetly one of the best seasons of South Park. Seasons 3, 5, and 10 are the only ones to rival for that position. From the introduction of TIMMY! to Cartman joining NAMBLA, this is one riotous adventure after another.

This season is really the first season to ever take real issues from the world and stick them in the world of South Park. In "Cartman Joins NAMBLA" (most definetly the best episode this season), Cartman feels he is too mature to hang out with his friends (with my favorite version of his "Screw you guys, I'm going home") and goes to find "mature" guys. Well, he finds NAMBLA which is an actual organization out there in the world. In "Timmy 2000", TIMMY! joins a band and begins performing, and of course, everyone takes offense to the band's blatant "exploitation." And leading this as the (ridiculously hilarious) serious man against this is Phil Collins. "Well, I mean, people are laughing at him...You shouldn't make fun of people with disabiwities!"

The episodes that are just there to make us laugh are gut-busting, too. In "The Fairy Tats 2000", after learning that the Tooth Fairy isn't real, the boys decide to use that idea to steal other kids' money for a profit. They are about to pull it off when they learn that a kid's organization has been doing for years (in a "The Godfather" parody). In "Something You can do with Your Finger", Cartman dreams up the idea to start a boy band and make $10,000,000. Their first problem is getting a fifth member for the boy band (who turns out to be Wendy, even though Cartman is opposed to this because of "her huge freakin' hooters").

Alas, this is not without its downs (thus the four stars). "Pip" is a nearly word for word SCENES parody off of "Great Expectations". (For the record, I didn't like that book, so I already didn't like this episode.) Another big reason this episode sucked was because it used Pip, the "stupid French piece of crap" that everyone hates. The other episode would have to be "Helen Keller! The Musical". While it DID have some Cartmanesque moments and TIMMY! as Helen Keller, the rest of the episode was pretty much lackluster. That ends my tirade on the weakness of the season. Overall, a brilliant success by Trey Parker and Matt Stone. In the future, I hope they can outdo even themselves (which seems very hard to do).

How does it get away with it? Probably the funniest show ever

Television programs usually have an unwritten code that making fun of some things is just plain wrong and telling lies or demeaning celebrities can get you sued... except when it comes to South Park. For some reason South Park seems to have been granted immunity from criticism by the masses. It is the only show that appears to be able to do anything it wants, however it wants, whenever it wants, and gets away with it scott free. Sure the hotlines to the television watchdogs might be ringing off the hooks when it really gets offensive but quite frankly nobody is answering because it seems that the world just likes a good old demented outlet now and again and the safest venue appears to be the adult cartoon South Park. The concept is simple. Combine dumbeddown 2D animation with unique characters with quite interesting and deep personalities with complex backgrounds combined with outragours stories, horrific sequences, extremely black humour, absolute stupidity, relationships gone wrong, real life famous personalities, layers of offensive material so nobody gets away unscathed, all within the framework of a small backward town that is on the tip of exploding into mayhem for one reason or another. It is all outrageous stuff... but bravo to the makers because its sooooo very funny. Matt Stone and Tray Parker just let their minds loose every episode to come up some of the craziest television that is so original in concept that nothing out there can compete. At the same time you either love or it or hate it. There is no middle ground. You either find it 1 star extremely obnoxious or 5 stars ridiculously funny. The downside is that the number of episodes on season one is quite limited. This has only 13. It is still worth it though but you will get more episodes with later seasons. Episodes include alien abduction, hunting trips gone wrong, building muscles, big gay Al, elephans and pigs, death, zombies, ethiopians, Mr. Hanky, Satan, Plastic surgery, Barba Streisand and Cartman's mom.

To Live and Die in L.A. (Special Edition)

To Live and Die in L.A. (Special Edition)

DVD Best Seller Directed by William Friedkin

Customer Reviews

I wonder why we waste our lives here, when we could run away to paradise?

Other reviewers did a great job , and there's nothing left for me))), except this: first of all I'd like to notice that brilliantly used "flashbacks" in some scenes gives you much of mysterious feel (especially during final scene) and movie shines even more with it, addin' to this "multi-layered" masterpiece one more implication way. After movie is over you'd prefer to watch it again and again, and still after numerous times of watching, you'll be thinking and wondering about this twisted story over and over. And now I understand Jack Hues(Wang Chand) who wrote a very solid song(To Live and Die in L.A.) being highly impressed at pre-production show of film. Also I would like to notice that DVD is well done with amazing sound, good visuals transaction(but it could be a bit better) and with such adds as deleted scenes and alternate ending etc. Personally, I will be waiting possible Blue-Ray release.

In the dark of the night/Every time I turn the light/I feel God is not in Heaven...

Hang on to your hats, folks, this movie is genre revisionism with a vengeance. William Friedkin's 1985 take on the Rogue Cop movie, made at the genre's high tide (between "48 Hours" and "Lethal Weapon," while Stallone and Shwarzenegger were churning out programmers like "Raw Deal" and "Cobra" and "Miami Vice" was the hottest thing on the tube), takes the hoary cliche of the vigilante cop who will stop at absolutley nothing to take down the crook who killed his partner (days before retirement, of course) and pulls the audience into very dark territory indeed. So dark the audience didn't follow, and the movie was a box office and critical fiasco. Which, as is so often the case, means To Live and Die is a masterpiece. Over and over again, the movies have encouraged us to cheer when a cop throws out the rule book and gets down and dirty to bring down the bad guy; Friedkin meticulously, rigorously designed this film to make the cheer die in our throat and turn into a cry of despair.

Even with the toe kneading, we have a movie that is exciting, irritating, nasty around the edges and a pleasure to watch.

To Live and Die in L. A., in my opinion, is a first-class movie, just as a scoop of jamocha almond fudge is a great cone. But it's unnerving when after three or four satisfying licks of jamocha all of a sudden you're handling the taste of tutti-frutti. What the...but then you're back quickly to the jamocha...wait a minute, now I've got a taste of raspberry-pumpkin to deal with.

Gia

I had never heard about this movie until I caught the last hour of it on tv. one Saturday evening late. I had missed alot of it and the ending got cut off due to time and I knew I had to see the entire movie, so I ordered it from Amazon. I received it within a week and watched it that night. It is a sad story but is so well written and acted that it makes it a great movie. Angelina Jolie plays Gia's character and does an amazing job portraying her. Except for the very beginning, I felt as though I was watching Gia rather than Angelina Jolie. I lent it to my sister who watched it several times and loved it and she too had never heard of the movie. I would highly reccommend it to any adult with the caveat that it is not an uplifting movie, but very real and is about a model's life.

Actress in Bloom

A perfect opportunity for a young Ms.Jolie to show her then acting ability to everyone with an intence role of living life in the fast lane based on a true story of a model called Gia. She later moved on to become a widly popularly wanted actress.

Dvd in great condition on arrival, Came before the expected delivery date as promised, And as i say in every review, I will definately be shopping with amazon again!

Diastis Recti

If you have diastis recti (separated stomach muscles during and after pregnancy), then make sure you follow a work-out program that is customized for your condition - otherwise that gap could get wider and you will lose even more core strength. A more challenging workout will defeat the purpose. Before you sign up for a fitness class, check to make sure the instructor knows what diastis recti is and find out how to modify exercises. Some hospitals offer programs for women with this condition, or go to a yoga centre that offers a restorative class that is gentle and focuses on building core strength safely. Yes, you may feel as though you aren't working very hard, but the gains are tremendous when you are gentle with it. I would imagine it is the same for some women who have had c-sections. I truly believe that every new mom with diastis should see a physical therapist or specialist for an assessment in the first month post-partum.

Good, but not very satisfying

This video is pretty good in the sense that you really feel like she knows what you're going through since she had her own C-section and you see her in the hospital. The post 6 week routine is pretty relaxing, easy to follow and you can easily find the props in your home. The only thing I didn't like about it was that I didn't really feel like I got a good workout OR a good stretch, which I would have liked. I'm pretty average when it comes to being in shape and just had my second c-section, but I just didn't feel afterward like I had accomplished much after this workout. It may be just that I'm impatient, but I would have liked to feel a little burn or a little sore the next day, but I haven't felt a thing. I know the point isn't to hurt yourself, but you would like to think that you are burning some calories and building some muscle after having a baby and I just didn't feel like the workout pushed me very hard.

Great workout--post partum and otherwise

I exercised through my pregnancy and was eager to start up again but was cautious because of the 6-week rule. This DVD was a great beginning in that phase and beyond. It would have been nice to have seen the DVD even before I went to the hospital since the instructor shows some simple things you can do while in the bed. The bed exercises would have been great just to start stretching out and feeling less like an invalid.

I've started the post-6-week workout and it is great. To be honest, since I've done pilates before pregnancy and exercised regularly throughout, I thought it would be an easy workout. It is not, though it is low-impact and sensitive to the post-pregnancy physical state.

All in all a great purchase. Highly recommended.

Highly recommended

I really enjoy this DVD. I've been doing Pilates for quite a few years now, and this DVD is refreshing. I've been waking up sore lately and these exercises have been making me feel better. The stretching and exercises are so relaxing, yet you still feel like you're working out. My legs are actually firm and fit. This DVD really helps me relax myself and my muscles. I look forward to doing this every time.

Great! This video is great.

It encompasses exercises specifically for pregnant women, but also exercises to keep your body toned that are appropriate during pregnancy.

AMAZON IS A GREAT PLACE TO SHOP

I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT GREAT SERVICE FROM AMAZON. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO PURCHASE MOVIES AMAZON IS THE PLACE TO GO!!!!!!I HAVE FOUND MOVIES THAT NO ONE ELSE CARRIED AND THE PRICE IS GREAT TOO! I RATE AMAZON NUMBER ONE!!!!!!!

inpirational tragedy

I bought this DVD because i'd previously seen the movie and loved it. It has comedy, romance, poetry... all of this in an environment that contains peer pressure and all of those other great things about high school. I've seen Lost and Delirious many times and still haven't gotten bored with it...

Captures angst/spontaneity of relationship

One of my favorite lesbian love stories. I saw this film years and years ago when I was first coming to terms with my own sexuality. The characters are relatable and genuine,and the angst between the two lead characters is palpable and sexy throughout. Though the film delivers a tragic end, it develops into a metaphor with many of the familiar themes faced by young (and even older) gay couples. The film runs the gamut of emotion and is a must see given its poingnant themes. It still is relevant, and is of the contemporary films that still connects with its audience.
