| 1,168,905,600 | Emmet Otter's Jug Band Christmas | I was dissappointed the film was not exactly the original as seen on HBO. I watched this with my child many times over the year. It was excellent as it was too. I have been trying to get a copy of this movie for about 5 years. The source I usually use just couldn't seem to find it. I was really glad to find you carried the movie. I got several copies for friends and family. | 15Movie & TV

| 1,168,819,200 | Great for younger kids | My sister-in-law wanted this movie for Christmas. It was a favorite from her childhood. I remembered seeing it before too. I bought it for her and she watched it right away. It was as I'd remembered it. It's a sweet, simple moral story for kids with very cute puppets. Compared to today it does seem a bit outdated and elementary but I think it's a great movie for little kids. | 15Movie & TV

| 1,329,609,600 | Wonderul quiet little Christmas story | My now grown children (boys) loved this during their elementary years so we purchased it to watch with our grandchildren. We were a little disappointed when they were not immediately captivated by it because we were anxious to see it again ourselves. The quality is fine and it is just as we remembered. Our grandchildren are a little too young to follow the story (at 2 & 3 yrs) so we'll save it until they can appreciate it more in a couple of years. In the meantime, we'll be watching it during the holidays ourselves. | 15Movie & TV

| 1,326,844,800 | One of the best kid's Christmas movies ever! | This is one of my all-time favorite kid's Christmas movies. I'm a music teacher and showed this to my classes between our Christmas concert and Christmas break. Kindergarten through 5th grade were all enthralled because they'd never seen it before. It's a great, cute story. Also a wonderful way to teach the lesson that not everything goes the way we plan (we don't always get what we want), but if we have faith and support our family and friends, everything will turn out better in the end. | 15Movie & TV

| 1,165,968,000 | Emmet Otter is great! | I haven't actually seen this version of the movie (with Kermit scenes left out and other little bits). However, this is my favorite Christmas movie of all time. Also, I see people wanting a soundtrack - I would love one as well. The good thing is that "When the River Meets the Sea" is on the John Denver & the Muppets Christmas CD. John Denver sings it, but so do some of the Muppet characters - including Emmet.I'm tempted to purchase this DVD for the special features - you should be as well. | 15Movie & TV

| 1,260,921,600 | Great show minus a bonus feature | Our family loves to watch this every year. It's particularly edifying to see mother and son otter work together and love each other even though they have so little. It's a great lesson for any age.My only real complaint is in one of the bonus features. The voice of Grover temporarily is being Ma Otter and he's joking about this one scene having to be done over and over again. After a while he says, "Good Lord" a couple of times and "Sweet Jesus" once which was offensive to me but especially offensive because my kids were watching. I don't think it was a good decision to allow those comments on the outtakes.Otherwise, the rest of the extra features were really fun and interesting. Wish they still made great kid shows like this one. | 15Movie & TV

| 1,322,870,400 | 2 different viersions being offered... | I've done alot of research on this and for for those of you that are so angry that Kermit was left out, this is what I've found.The original HBO showings in 1978 and 1979 did not have Kermit in them. In 1980 ABC edited the film and they added Kermit's narrative to the original. If you want the Kermit version you need to find the DVD or VHS that was made from the ABC 1980 edition, not the original HBO version of 1978 and 1979. Hope this helps to clear up some of the confusion. | 15Movie & TV

| 1,064,620,800 | Almost As Good As The First | The first one was a classic but this one is pretty good too. It's along the same lines as the first one about a woman being terrorized by a vengeful spirit who was contacted through a Ouija Board. It haunts the apartment and makes things go bump in the night. It becomes more and more vicious as it kills people by causing bizarre accidents. Then it begins to take over the woman's body by possessing it. Pretty scary stuff! | 15Movie & TV

Please pay attention when buying that this is a VHS tape and i don't think it exists on DVD yet. Do not expect HDTV quality from this tape, remember that you couldn't skip scenes and you have to rewind the tape after watching.Enjoy! | 15Movie & TV

| 992,476,800 | Adequate horror! | As usual I agree with the other reviewers. The original, however, is the better flick. Partly because of Tawney Kitaen and partly because the plot is more involved. Amy Dolenz does a pretty good job, she looks pretty cute too, but the original Witchboard seems to have much more substance. Personally I recommend both.Laraine Newman looks pretty good too. What's up with her dog named "DO"? She's stuck in 1969. VW bus and all. | 15Movie & TV

Great American Western V.20, The (2003) | 4.98 | 12/12 | 1positive
| 1,110,067,200 | Roy and Dale Sing....Trigger Upstages...."Pappy" Delights | This review refers to "The Great American Western - Vol 20"(Platinum Disc)....Okay, so the first thing I have to tell you is that my 5 star rating is not for all the great cinematic moments you will find in these films. It is though, for the inclusion of the Documentary "Great American West" which features Western greats John Wayne, Henry Fonda, and Jimmy Stewart swapping stories and revealing some fond memories of filmmaking with the great one... John "Pappy" Ford. Made in the early 70's, the stars get up close, personal, and a bit sentimental with their mentor, from the sets and gorgeous locations, of films like "Stagecoach", "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance", "The Searchers", "Young Mr. Lincoln", and "My Darling Clemintine" among many others.The admiration and respect these greats of Hollywood have for this wonderful director, exudes onto the screen, and I smiled through the entire hour. This is a must have for fans. The moments are priceless. Even Andy Devine makes a "quick" appearance. This makes this volume more than worth the price of admission.The other films included are:"Bells Of San Angelo"..From 1947 directed by William Witney, this is a corny but fun film, starring Roy Rogers, Trigger(Yes, Trigger gets top billing), Dale Evans and Andy Devine. There's trouble amiss in the local silver mine that borders Mexico. Can Roy save the day and still have time to get in a few tunes, you bet! It's a modern western, but Roy and the boys still ride horses and carry 6 shooters, while everyone else takes the bus! The case says it is a 47 min color film, but it is acutally around 1 hr 15 min and is in black and white."Kentucky Rifle"..1955/Color directed by Carl Hittleman. This has some great character actors to spend some time with. Chill Wills, Sterling Holloway, Henry Hull, Lance Fuller and Cathy Downs. Don't expect too much though, in the way of plot or cinematogrpahy. A wagon load of Kentucky Rifles, must be protected at all costs, including any passengers who may be along, from the Comanche(who get a pretty bad rap in this one)."White Comanche"...1967/Color. Oy Vey...This was probably the worst of all. Even a die hard oater lover like me had a hard time with this one. I thought with Joseph Cotton and William Shatner, I would find some redeeming value, but alas I did not.Twin brothers who are half white and half Comanche(both played by Shatner, and I forgive him for this), have conflicts between them and with their identities as well. Probably worth the view for a few good laughs.Don't expect anything like a big studio transfer, or the attention that is paid to the classics. They show their age with some scratches, and "White Comanche" looks completly faded out, and there are even times in the films when the voices don't match the lips. They all have pretty decent sound though and are all enhanced In DD 5.1.Also 5 stars to Platinum Disc for putting together so many of these Good Ole Oaters for us to choose from. They may purchased in single volumes or in sets(of up to 10 discs). Enter Great American Western in the product search to see all of them. This one is also included in "Great American Westerns" Vol 2 of the 10-pack.Get this for the John Ford Documentary and just have some fun with the others.Happy Trails....Laurie | 15Movie & TV

| 1,133,568,000 | 5 Wonderfully Corny John Wayne Oaters From the 30's | Volume 24 in the Great American Western series, features 5 old John Wayne films from the 1930's. Four from the Lone star series, and one other oater.They are all wonderfully corny. Each runs less then an hour, so for well over 4 hours you could get comfy with The Duke.In the Lone series we sometimes find our guy as some goverment agent, working incognito to bust the bad guys. He's not the same agent everytime though. And of course, there's always a girl. In "Riders of Destiny"(1933), He's "Singin Sandy Saunders.Everyone thinks he's a bad hombre gun fighter but in reality he's out to save the water from the land grubbers. Forrest Taylor also stars."The Trail Beyond"(1934) finds Rod Drew(Wayne) searching for long lost friends in North West Canda. He has to prove one has been unjustly framed for murder. Noah Berry Sr. and Jr. star as well."West of the Divide"(1934)has The Duke searching for the killers of his parents. Along the way, he discovers he has a little brother(how lucky for that kid!)."Texas Terror"(1935) A sheriff(Wayne) is blaming himself for the death of his best friend. He had to follow the letter of the law though. He takes up prospecting and leaves the law behind."Winds of the Wasteland"(1936) is not one of the Lone Star films.Once Pony Express riders, now stagecoach operators, are scammed out of their money on a run-down coach and a ghost town line. Can they right this wrong and bring the town to life??Well..you know.The films are very old. This is not a big studio release. The films, show their age. Although, there are a couple that look pretty darn good.And there isn't anything to take away from the enjoyment of these cinematic treasures. The sound is enhanced in Dolby 5.1. One of the films, did though have a hissing noise through most of the film. All the films are on one side, no need to flip the Disc.These may not be the best Westerns ever made, but I have to go 5 stars for the historical film value to fans of The Duke.This films are sure to give you a smile. And also to Platinum Discs, for putting so many of these Oaters out on DVD for us to enjoy.If You just can't get enough of the Duke, this DVD may also be found in a two-pack:John Wayne, Great American Western, 2 DVDwith 4 more of his films including the entire 3 hour Shadow of the Eagle serial.Check my listmanias for more John Wayne Westerns and more GAW volumes in the series I have reviewed so far.Saddle Up, and Happy Trails To YouLaurie | 15Movie & TV

| 1,238,025,600 | THE VERY EARLY DUKE | I don't know how many films Wayne did for Lone Star Productions but I do know that these Platinum Discs are worth their weight in gold. For my taste these early westerns had a certain real ambience about them that are missing even in the films of the 1940s. These early films are just one step ahead of the silent films, and at times you have stretches of music to cover the action. It's just great.If you want to see John Wayne, when he was still becoming John Wayne, you gotta watch these old classics. I got on to them through Encore Westerns several years back and then later bought these Platinum discs.Another note, the later LEGENDS OF THE WEST (5 volumes) by Platinum also collects all these older movies. No matter which sets you have they are mighty interesting, on some of the Lone Star series of films George 'Gabby' Hayes, 'George Hayes' as he was then known, shows up as Wayne's co-star. Great stuff.Semper Fi. | 15Movie & TV

| 1,143,244,800 | You've Come a Long Way, Baby | While I was in college twenty years ago, I had a poster of Joan Jett on my dorm wall. I thought she was one of the hottest girls in all of show business, not just rock and roll. Her jet black hair, her intense angry eyes, those sneering red lips, that raspy voice. She had such a raw sexuality about her along with a passion and drive that made her seem remote and unattainable.Music was everything to her.I was thrilled that this DVD was produced--I think any fan of her will love it--but I'm taking a star off for an entirely non-musical reason: I miss her black hair. That butch blonde crew cut doesn't work for me.It may sound completely superficial of me but I want my Joan with that black hair. What would Elvis have been without his black hair and sideburns? (At least there's one video of "I Hate Myself for Loving You" included in the extras from a 1985 MTV New Year's Party of the Joan I remember).I still love you, Joanie, just bring back your hair! | 15Movie & TV

| 1,331,942,400 | Joan & The Boys In Top Form | I've never seen Joan play live but after watching this DVD, I wish I had. If you like up front, no nonsense rock then buy this DVD. The 5.1 recording is clean though a tad light in the bass region. So turn it UP! Up! UP! The video of the band is quite good especially the close ups of Joan while she's performing. The DVD song selection is chopped up meaning the ending is near the middle. A minor annoyance and the only reason I gave this DVD 4 instead of 5 stars. That woman can rock all night! Joan's energy live is high and sustained throughout the performance.I realized through the show that Joan performing live is where she was always meant to be. This DVD is what a Live Performance is supposed to be. | 15Movie & TV

| 1,213,574,400 | Very good selection of Joan Jett's music! | Well I'm a fan since 80's. I never had the chance to see her in concert, I even wrote to blackheart record to ask if they plan to ever come in Montreal but they didn't even answered. So for me it was my chance to see her in a concert.If you are a fan or someone who want to discover JJ, it's a great way becauce the selection is very well made, mostly all the best songs are there. She deliver a good performance, she is great! It's filmed pretty much close, not from a far distance, so we see very well all we need to see. A fan must own the only DVD live (so far).I would have made it 5 stars, the only thing that made me drop a star is because it's a small concert in a small place and the camera is angled pretty much often on the crowd and all you see is the same people all the time, especially (no offense) a tall guy with a white t-shirt jumping up and down in the first row from the beginning to the end of the show... this keep me to re-watch the show often. | 15Movie & TV

| 998,438,400 | Do you love rock & roll? Joan Jett does. | This DVD vastly exceeded my expectations. Video quality is razor sharp (even on a 56" screen) and the Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack is outstanding. I'd recommend this one to anyone, but if you have a decent surround sound setup with a good subwoofer this DVD will rock your house down. The sound mix includes tons of thunderous bass. This the gutwrenching, chest pounding sound that you get at a live rock concert. Rest assured, this ain't no trumpet playing band.The music is non-stop and features most of the songs Jett is known for. There are no interviews or interruption of the music, just song after song. It's obvious that Ms. Jett loves performing and I'd say this is the best she's ever sounded. The band is outstanding and the crowd is ready to rock.The editorial interviewer at the top of this page comments that "pop music styles may have passed her by". What he should say is that real rock will live on as long as there are performers like Joan Jett, and it's the pre-fab pop stars who will fade.Well, I've run out of superlatives. If you like rock then I think you'll like this DVD. I'll just state again that video quality is great and the audio is superb (and sounds better the louder you crank it). My next door neighbor better get used to this one. | 15Movie & TV

| 1,003,622,400 | Bad Reputation | I think I added and removed this DVD from my wish list THREE TIMES before finally just biting the bullet and ordering it. My trepidation? When I read this was a concert from just a year ago, I didn't want to see some watered down rock show performed without the fire that many 80's artists put out. Not that Joan Jett has done that before, but I've been disappointed with the Blonde Live DVD, and recent others. Like most people, I want to see the artist rockin' it live in their PRIME - when they have the most energy and sass. That said, this DVD exceeded my expections wonderfully! Joan snarles, rocks, swears and sweats as if grunge, boy bands and sugar pop rock never took over the airwaves. The audio mix is loud and heavy and all the classic songs are performed with as though they were released a week ago. And according to the enthusiastic audience, pumping their fists along with each word.... you would think these songs were! My only complaint would be that there is not enough extra stuff on here. I would have loved to have listened to an Audio Commentary by Joan and the band about the songs and maybe watched some behind the scenes stuff. Not a big deal, but those additions would have made this already fun DVD perfect! | 15Movie & TV

| 1,045,612,800 | Inactivity Grrl - Anybody Seen Joan Jett Lately? | I'll be the first to admit that my grasp of DVD technology extends about as far as Robert Downey Jr.'s tenuous grasp of sobriety, but any live footage of Joan Jett ought to be a cause for celebration - a gift from the gods. Other than two video compilations she hawks on her website, a smoldering "Bad Reputation" from "Urgh: A Music War," and a surprising performance in "Light Of Day," there is a decided dearth of Jett available on the big screen. Missing in action since 1999's "Fetish" album, apparently to concentrate on acting endeavors, Jett (as well as the largely unheralded Suzi Quatro) blazed a trail in the industry for other women to follow but always seems to duck the accolades which come her way. Filmed in 1998 in Colorado (?!??), Jett and The Blackhearts (these guys deserve more credit - especially guitarist Ricky Byrd - total pros each and every one) tear through a 14-song set drawing from all phases of her career. Barely recognizable and clad from head to toe in lean, mean, streamlined black rubber and vinyl, with close-cropped blonde hair (gone forever apparently are the long raven tresses), there's no doubt it's Jett when she steps up to the microphone and sings into the light. It would have been nice to see more bonus features, like interviews with Jett and the band, but the videos for "Real Wild Child" and a 1980-something live "Do You Wanna Touch Me (Oh Yeah)" are a nice touch. For the price, this one's a no-brainer | 15Movie & TV

| 1,022,889,600 | A thrilling live show, hurt by overactive edits. Fun extras | Although a fan of punk and musical outsiders in general, I hadn't really heard Joan Jett until I caught her at a casino (gulp!) in Elko Nevada 2002. I was thrilled, Joan Jett is one of the very few performers that I truly could not take my eyes off. She really does have a look that kills, great showmanship, and inspiring attitude. Ambiguious. I loved trying to figure her out while "comped" ranchers picked up their Stetson hats and left. She threw guitar picks to the few people in the crowd who seemed to get it.This 1998 VH1 show was filmed in Telluride Colorado. The hits are included, along with many other songs I feel are stronger. The recording quality is sometimes a little thin, but good enough. My big complaint for this great show is the camerawork and editing. If a band is playing as hot and intense as this, they are the focus of the night. They are the event. The thrilled audience gets this, but the hyperactive cameramen clearly don't. This DVD has too many cut-aways from Jett and her band, and too many useless shots of nobodies crowd-surfing and shots from the back of the room. Sometimes less is more.The extras? The DVD includes a brief photo album that reminds you how long Jett has been performing. (Those hairstyles connect generations...) Also included: 2 videos - one flawed, one great '80s cheese. The '90s "Real Wild Child" cover shows Joan Jett's excellent skill for pantomime/facial expression, proving she's got half the acting game down pat. The live performance of "Do You Wanna Touch Me" - filmed during a 1985 New Year's Eve for MTV or something even worse, is ridiculous. Jett and her band may be visibly bored, but they appear sane in a room filled of what can best be called "TV Party People". To put it another way, drunk party ghouls with Rob Lowe hair. (Pick a decade, it's the same creepy Rob Lowe hair...) A horrible clip, and it's my favorite point in the disc. It reminds me how much I hated the safe white-bread '80s culture - this clip is something else. Although I never really liked them, thank god Nirvana swept away the tired empty '80s vibe. Joan Jett's work fits better with the '90s vibe and beyond. This DVD shows that. | 15Movie & TV

Songs that are 20 years old sound as fresh as ever; and the bands blasts thru them with max-ethusiasm. The only drawback is the cuts in between tracks; they really disrupt the flow of the show.

Many thieves and robbers, on the frontier with Mexico, in the midst of the Mexican Revolution, with Mexican soldiers and Mexican revolutionaries, with all kinds of gangsters and other outlaws, with frightened bankers who get held or blown up, with women who are nothing but entertainment. Well, nearly all of them, except one who is a master mind in getting rich on the back of the thieves and robbers, the soldiers and revolutionaries, the gangsters and outlaws, the bankers and cops when necessary. She manipulates all of them men with her charm and flesh and she gets the money when it is ripe, without even making the slightest effort, except at luring all these men into falling into her trap. And you can be sure she never shuts her trap. Brilliant and funny with a Lolobrigida that is coming of age and starting her lovely and enticing career.Dr Jacques COULARDEAU | 15Movie & TV

Glad he has level 2 & 3 out already as well. Check them out! | 15Movie & TV

| 1,061,769,600 | Loved This Tape! | I own several yoga videos, and have been practicing yoga for 6 months now. I found this video to be fun, not too hard and I am addicted to doing this one! Afterwards I feel so relaxed and rejuvinated. | 15Movie & TV

| 1,308,873,600 | Good Workout | I've had this one for a while - I practiced this one today for the first time in over a year and I liked it. It's challenging. My spine has some issues and it feels a little warm right now but doesn't hurt. 3rd segment for the abs is amazing - borrows from Pilates mat.Level one for power yoga, not for absolute beginners however. You should be somewhat physically fit and have a knowledge of basic yoga poses/alignment before trying this. | 15Movie & TV

| 1,131,840,000 | Great and Reasonably Priced Baron Baptiste DVD | I've been doing Yoga daily for the last 9 years and have over 80 programs on VHS and DVD at this point. Baron's programs fill a large portion of my collection and my practice because his programs are always well put together.I've had this particular program on VHS for a while (along with the second and third volumes of this set) and it still holds up quite well. I just picked it up for next to nothing in DVD format in a discount store and I'm glad to have it on DVD since it is a solid Power Yoga practice. In fact it's my favorite of the three of the original "Hot Yoga" series.In this program he uses Lunge Salutes rather than the Traditional A and B salutes which is a nice change of pace. These type of Sun Salutations are extremely beneficial for opening the hip flexors This is especially useful for people who do any type of running though just as beneficial for those who just want to feel more open in their day to day lives.This first section can be used as a warmup by itself before doing an athletic activity.The Second section has a well rounded series of standing postures which include some balancing poses as well.The third section is a pretty intense ab section which will get your midsection screaming :)While I would admit that I like Baron's newer programs in every way more than this one (some of the newer ones being "Journey into Power 1 and 2, Soul of Strength, Core Power, Unlocking Athletic Power") this is still a very good program to use to mix things up a little. It is a bit dated in terms of the production values , but the practice is still valid and you will still reap the benefits.A previous reviewer had criticised the fact that Baron warns that something upcoming may hurt a little. In my opinion, he mentions that just to prepare people (especially those new to yoga) for the fact that there may be some discomfort coming up.In my experience, most people in our society seem to associate any physical discomfort with bad, injurious pain which is not what he is talking about. This is a safe and very sound, well designed practice, but of course you still need to listen to your body and learn how far to push yourself. Less IS more in Yoga, you are better off easing into a pose with awareness than plunging in too quickly.I also wanted to address the fact that some reviewers found Baron to be annoying. While I agree that he has these quirky little sayings (some of which rhyme) that he uses which may put some people off. The fact remains that the benefits of all of Baron's programs far outweigh any negatives someone might come up with. Baron is a fabulous and inspiring teacher who I find to be very easy to follow.For those who don't know about Baron Baptiste's background, he has been doing yoga since he was a child, practically in the womb. His parents, Walt and Magana Baptiste started one of the first Yoga center on the West Coast long before most people in the west even knew what yoga was. Baron studied with some of the top teachers in the world (actually living in ashrams in India when he was a boy)and not only the physical practice but the philosophical side as well (though he doesn't push the philosophical stuff here). In a nut shell, Baron is the real deal and has a rare Yoga pedigree. | 15Movie & TV

| 1,090,972,800 | Campy, but a great workout | Ok, ok, the music and Baron can be a little campy. However, this is one of the most complete beginner workouts you can find. If you are a real beginner (no yoga experience) then I recommend Brian Kests 20 minute and step-by-step DVD. You will sweat with this and crunch your abs! If you can get past the music and Baron's funny lines this video is one of the best! | 15Movie & TV

| 1,243,728,000 | It's Power Yoga, not Ashtanga | I've had this yoga dvd for years and do the first sun salutation section every day. Recently, I've been adding the second, fifteen-minute lower body toning section onto the first. I have lots of yoga DVDs and tend to rotate the different ones, but I still consider myself a yoga beginner, as I often only do a few poses a day. I have a half a dozen of Rodney Yee's programs, plus various others, but I've found that this basic sun salutation sequence is my favorite for daily practice. If all I get is twenty minutes of sun salutations, I'm still getting a good all over workout--even though I don't feel I'm working hard, I feel more energized, more flexible, and stronger.Power Yoga is its own type of yoga. Baron Baptiste is the originator of Power Yoga, which is based off of Ashtanga, but with a different philosophy. It's definitely a more western approach, as Power Yoga focuses more on the ability of the individual to discern his or her own path (self-discovery)in the exercises, instead of on the technical aspects of the yoga poses. As one earlier reviewer noted, Baron Baptiste studied under Iyengar, Patthabi Jois, and Bikram Chondhury (originators of Iyengar, Ashtanga, and Bikram Yoga). Power Yoga focuses more on the individual's own intuition and not on dogma. This can be reallyc onfusing, because Ashtanga Yoga is sometimes also referred to as Power yoga.My first introduction to yoga was in the Iyengar style, and it didn't work for me. Baptiste's approach is more comfortable for me, and I like that he gives frequent reminders of when to breathe and tips for improving the poses. It helps if you try to take one breath for each movement, other than when holding the asanas. I appreciate that he doesn't talk much about Yoga philosophy, because it makes it easier to listen to the routine day after day. I find the sermonizing on some other DVDs tiresome after a while.Sure, it's an older DVD and the production values are not top-notch. Baron Baptiste has a unique way of speaking which some (including my husband) find annoying, but that's really only an individual response. He doesn't annoy me at all, though I get a chuckle out of his careful pronunciation of "e-QUAN-imity." But I think he describes the poses accurately and gives time to deepen the poses. It's not difficult to follow the movements; even when the poses are difficult to accomplish, at least you know what you're supposed to be doing. The focus here is on improving the poses and releasing toxins, and of course on flexibility and toning, but not on variety or novelty. Especially for someone who hasn't done yoga much or consistently, sun salutations are an easy place to begin, and not intimidating. For someone who's done yoga for years, sun salutations make an excellent beginning to any further yoga practice. | 15Movie & TV

| 1,077,580,800 | Well, it was instructional | I borrowed this DVD from a friend who didn't like it because she found the host annoying. The host indeed, was annoying. However, it is a good beginner workout and I will return it to its rightful owner with new knowledge of yoga moves that I can do on my own without Baron Baptiste's cries such as, "Power, People!" and "Unleash the monster within!" | 15Movie & TV

| 1,066,867,200 | had my doubts at first, but this is awesome!! | I have been disappointed in the past with yoga DVD's. This one is really good. I have been doing the crunch yoga for a while and wanted a change. I seem to sweat with this one. The moves are not complicated for beginners. At first, I thought it was going to be boring because Baron is a little monotone. He does simple moves but over and over. I recommend it. | 15Movie & TV

| 1,062,633,600 | Three Short But Golden Workouts For Athletes and Others | This is the first of the three-part Baptiste "Power Yoga" series. It is really three workouts which can be done separately or consecutively. The first is a flow series which is good for beginners and as a warmup before you practice your sport. The second is a terrific leg series which is great after a sport workout. It will strengthen and lengthen your legs and back, giving you a workout, a stretch and physical therapy to help you recover. The third session is a very nicely designed ab workout which really reaches into your core muscles and leaves you feeling much stronger and more integrated at the core of your body. These workouts are very well designed and will really help strenghthen and protect your body from injuries. They also leave you feeling great. | 15Movie & TV

| 1,198,281,600 | A good starting point for Power Vinyassa Yoga | I have practiced Hatha Yoga for some time and wanted to try Vinyassa style yoga; this was my first dvd in that style. I'm also a runner and triathlete and had read good things in the training world on what Baron was doing. This is a very good starting point for exploring power yoga. I'm now into Ashtanga Yoga, and focus on "Primary Series", but have learned from Baron Baptiste and consider his contributions important. | 15Movie & TV

| 1,312,502,400 | Regularly Use | I've used this dvd on and off for years. It is not for absolute beginning exercisers or for those who've never attended a yoga class. Baron does not give detailed instructions for many poses. Some days I just do part 1-sun salutations and stretches. Other days I do the whole program for a complete workout. Part 2-standing poses gives my legs a burn. Part 3-the ab workout is good, but is only half yoga-maybe pilates or gym stuff is the rest. I like that it ends in shavasana-at the end of the whole dvd I feel very relaxed.I've been using this dvd a few times a week for two months. The biggest difference I can tell is that I can breathe much more deeply and fully than I could before. | 15Movie & TV

| 1,298,764,800 | i have always loved Baron Baptiste | This is great yoga for beginners and veterans alike. It's flow, it's mind/body and it's perfect in the segmented way the disc is set up. If you'd like to do a series of sun salutations, do the first bit. If you'd like to continue on to the more challenging lower body workout, it's there. This is the yoga for all.Always loved it, always will. | 15Movie & TV
