Deep.......2007-08-20

I should rate it five stars I just can't do it. I think it is because this film is so tragic. I mean that in a good way of course, the story is just riveting! I think Tim Robbins turned in the best job of his career here, well he also did good in that Shawshank film and that was also based on a book. Well enough of that and back to Mystic River, a movie that has a lot of misunderstandings between the people in the movie. I do not care for Sean Penn but anything he does is good, the best was probably though when he was in Fast times at Ridgemont high. I do not mean a pun with the word high so stop snickering!

Sean Penn at his best!.......2007-08-09

I really didn't like Mystic River very much because I thought it moved too slow. But I had to give it "a big thumps up," because the performances; while subtle, were believeable and on target. I thought Penn's "Dead Man Walking," performance better showcased the full range of his talent. In any event, while I didn't care much for the movie, I have to admit it was well made.

Engrossing Movie.......2007-07-06

It continually amazes me how people can look at the same thing and have such wide-ranging opinions of its worth. I found this film to my liking, although I didn't cotton to the ending. In order to enjoy this movie, one must have an attention span longer than 10 seconds, and one must enjoy drama that doesn't involve shooting and exploding and car chases and action that is unrealistic/absurd. The story is realistic, and the acting is superb. I love stuff that makes sense and is not in la la land.

Good but boring.......2007-07-01

Clint Eastwood makes boring movies. I don't know what else to say. It may just be that the cinemotography itself is dark so you fall asleep. It was a good film, with the acting saving it and though I never read the book, I heard it was like the book. Sean Penn deserved the Oscar but why this film got a Best Picture Nom. is beyond me. Eastwood is the golden child of the Academy and it is starting to get me mad

very emotional, driven by great performances..........2007-06-09

Sean Penn, without a doubt, is the heart and soul of this movie... Mystic River is one of the very best of Clint Eastwood's pictures and it features highly charged emotions in a great screenplay that flows beautifully despite the length of the film... It all comes back to childhood this is something (I think) we should all know - and something the characters in this movie discover as they fumble around trying to right the wrongs of the world.. Tim robbins' character (i try to be careful not to give away plot elements) is torn inside from a childhood experience and sees the world as a place where vampires roam and suck the blood of the innocent - something he takes upon himself to venge against.. Sean Penn's character is intent on finding justice himself following the death of his daughter.. and kevin bacon (who is a cop) is obviously trying to make up for the wrongs of the world - all three try and fail - because at heart they are children (like we all are) born to suffer in an unjust world.. Mystic river will make you cry if you truly let it break through your personal barriers.. Though i am not normally a fan of such movies (i generally find them predictable) 'mystic river', despite its rehashed dramatic techniques, works out - highly recommended..

Clint Eastwood's Blood Work is a refreshing reminder that Hollywood's young Turks can still learn a lesson from good old-fashioned craftsmanship. Settling into an easygoing groove that recalls his early work in Play Misty for Me, the 72-year-old producer-director-star acknowledges his age by playing a retired FBI profiler and recent heart-transplant recipient. He's recruited by his heart donor's grieving sister (Wanda De Jesus) to find her dead sibling's killer, and personal obligation compels his dutiful but health-risking investigation. From a sharp, sensible script by L.A. Confidential Oscar® winner Brian Helgeland (from Michael Connelly's novel), Blood Work consistently plays to Eastwood's no-nonsense approach, elevating the mystery while giving Jeff Daniels (as Eastwood's neighbor and amateur sidekick) a substantial role in the suspenseful proceedings. Some may chuckle at a brief Eastwood-De Jesus love scene, but there's ample proof here that Clint's still got all the right moves. --Jeff Shannon

Superior acting, writing, and direction are on impressive display in the critically acclaimed Mystic River, Clint Eastwood's 24th directorial outing and one of the finest films of 2003. Sharply adapted by L.A. Confidential Oscar-winner Brian Helgeland from the novel by Dennis Lehane, this chilling mystery revolves around three boyhood friends in working-class Boston--played as adults by Tim Robbins, Sean Penn, and Kevin Bacon--drawn together by a crime from the past and a murder (of the Penn character's 19-year-old daughter) in the present. These dual tragedies arouse a vicious cycle of suspicion, guilt, and repressed anxieties, primed to explode with devastating and unpredictable results. Eastwood is perfectly in tune with this brooding material, giving his flawless cast (including Laura Linney, Marcia Gay Harden and Laurence Fishburne) ample opportunity to plumb the depths of a resonant human tragedy, leading to an ambiguous ending that qualifies Mystic River for contemporary classic status. --Jeff Shannon

Description

Congratulations! You are interested in belly dance and that means you are now connected to the world's oldest women's dance! Contained in this DVD are over a dozen different belly dance movements that are seen in belly dance styles around world. The movements are taught in five sections. Each section is one of the Sacred Shapes™ and is introduced by a teacher. These movements are then modeled by three different teachers on the screen. All of the movements are seen from more than one angle and there is a clear view of the teachers at all times. This makes the instruction easy to follow and understand. There is then time to practice and play with the movements with the teachers. Goddess Stretches are unique to The Goddess Dancing™ and are also contained on this video. Images of the Goddess from around the world are used to guide the movements of the stretches. The last section is an original choreographed dance, The Creation Dance, that incorporates the movements taught in the video. There is a prompt on the screen for which movements are next in the dance, making it easy to follow and learn. The teachers do the dance several times in a row so that you may watch and practice along. The DVD contains a performance by each of the teachers on the video. The performances are all examples of completely improvised dances. Each teacher takes a turn to be in the moment and express herself.

Simply the best.......2007-07-23

Get a copy of the dvd ASAP!!! This is one of the best dvds for learning belly dance basics on the market today. The moves are taught in a simple, concise manner and demonstrated beautifully by the wonderful women of the Goddess Dancing. I got this quite some time ago and use is constantly to re-inforce what I learn in my weekly classes. I've been dancing for close to three years now but find "Belly Dancing the Sacred Shapes" an invaluable resource to keep me focused. Thank you Karen, Anita-Christina and Cathy - you are my Goddesses!!

I enjoy this tape very much and have found it very helpful in beginning to learn how to belly dance. I also enjoy the Goddess imagery used throughout. Its a great way to streatch out the kinks and get ready to face the work day.

Good if supplemented with another video.......2006-07-12

I bought this video to learn how to bellydance with and found it very enlightening. I loved the spiritual descriptions of each movement, however, did not learn "how" to move as well from this video as I did from others (Jillians video was the other one I ordered) I think that this is a good video to learn the 'spirit' of the dance with, but not necessarily the movements. I would recommend buying this along with another video, that may not teach the 'spirit' but just the basic moves. I also found the women to be a little strange, but with good hearts.

Must Have for Pagans/Wiccans.......2006-05-20

I loved the spiritual connection of the dance to the Goddess rather than learning to perform. Each section is proken down so a non-dance nonfit person can easily follow. I also loved how the three teachers were so in tune with each other. I belong to circle which is moving in that direction so it was a joy to watch.
