Angela's Ashes (Die Asche Meiner Mutter) [DVD] [Region 2] [German Import] (2000)	2.99	13/16	1positive	1,136,332,800	very good movie	I didnt read the book. But I thought the movie was really good. I guess all the people that are rating this movie as bad are just the typical ''Good-book, bad-movie'' folks, they are mostly everywhere and no matter how much beauty lies in one film, they will always stand in their monotonous position.	15Movie & TV	0.8125	16
Angela's Ashes (Die Asche Meiner Mutter) [DVD] [Region 2] [German Import] (2000)	2.99	5/5	1positive	964,828,800	Brilliant and unforgettable	This film is a masterpiece, and, I believe ranks among the greatest ever made. It is a masterful portrait of a difficult, impoverished, but at the same time, powerfully poignant childhood that haunts McCourt to this day. The brutal realities are all intact, but there is also an undercurrent of the desperate love the family members had for one another which is brilliantly realized in nearly every frame. All I can say is Bravo, Alan Parker - you have made something beautiful.	15Movie & TV	1	5
Angela's Ashes (Die Asche Meiner Mutter) [DVD] [Region 2] [German Import] (2000)	2.99	7/8	1positive	1,184,544,000	Disappointing After Reading the Book	I picked this DVD up the second day after finishing Frank McCourt's Book by the same name, I was quite disappointed. As is the Usual Case the Movie was not to be compared to the book.I found the book much more emotional than the movie.However it does offer the look of Ireland at that period in timeand some of the happenings in the book, so I think it's definitely worth watching,...but read the book afterwards ! You won't be disappointed.Recommended !!	15Movie & TV	0.875	8

This was a powerful movie; I'm not sure if I was supposed to feel sorry for Frank or just be disgusted at their living conditions. I haven't read the book, so I just took the movie for what it was---a grim dose of reality. Joe Breen gets a high five; he was very convincing as young Frank McCourt.	15Movie & TV	0	1
Angela's Ashes (Die Asche Meiner Mutter) [DVD] [Region 2] [German Import] (2000)	2.99	3/6	1positive	1,116,374,400	Not A Good Advertisement For The Tourist Industry In Ireland	This would have to beone of the most depressing fims I have ever sat through. It concerns the childhood and adolescence of writer Frank McCourt who grrew up in Limerick , Ireland. In that dump of a town Limerick it is always raining or it is going to rain. We see Frank's father as a hopeles alcoholic who never actually got off his lazy drunken ass to get a job and support his family. Then he abandons his family when his wife refuses to grant him anymore sexual satisfaction. Both him and his wife can afford to smoke tailor made cigarettes but they can't afford to pay the rent or feed their kids.One gets the impression that the condom manufacturers would find a HUGE market in Ireland. I give this movie 5 stars because Frank had the sense to jump on a boat and head to the USA where he everntaully found a job as a teacher and then a career as a successful writer.	15Movie & TV	0.5	6

Angela's Ashes (Die Asche Meiner Mutter) [DVD] [Region 2] [German Import] (2000)	2.99	1/3	1positive	1,134,518,400	Alan Parker adapts Frank McCourt's memoirs	It took a while for me to get interested in "Angela's Ashes," and I was surprised to realize that the problem with the early part of Alan Parker's film was that the music was laying it on too thick. This is a surprise, of course, because the music is by John Williams. A narrator's voice tells us that there is nothing quite as bad as being raised in a poor Irish Catholic neighborhood and the music tries to nudge us in that direction. But seeing as how the words were enough to have me thinking of all the other cinematic examples of the lives of the poor in Ireland, the music was just a bother.The movie is based on Frank McCourt's Pulitzer Prize winning memoir and knowing that is important because despite everything that happens in this film--or, more properly, because of it--young Frank is going to make it back to America and become a success. The film begins with the irony of an Irish family on a ship passing the Statue of Liberty going east as the McCourt's leave New York City to return to Limmerick. Malachy McCourt (Robert Carlyle) will have no more luck there finding a job to support his wife, Angela (Emily Watson) and four boys, but at least there is a family that can provide some support and a dole that will pay 13 shillings a week (5 for the rent, the rest to feed the family). However, unemployment is not the only constant in the McCourt family. There are deaths and births, whipping from the teachers at the school and the drunken singing of Malachy, all of which become part of the cycle of Frank's life."Angela's Ashes" is a story about poignant poverty, where the humor of the situations tries to win out in the end. Clearly Frank loves both his parents despite the "shame" they bring upon the family, his mother because she will beg for the scraps from the priests' table and his father because he will drink away not only his wages but the money sent for a new baby. I have to admit to some disappointment that there is not a point where Frank turns on his father (the way he does on his mother at one point), because what limited value the man might have had does not make it to the screen. But then Frank never seems to connect the survival of his family to the shame his mother endures, both private and public.The movie covers three main stages in Frank's life and there are a trio of young actors who capture each stage and their respective crucibles. For Young Frank (Joe Breen) it is his first Holy Communion and the onslaught of confessions that it engenders. Middle Frank (Ciaran Owens) faces a serious illness that does not succeed in killing him but does force him to be humiliated by going back a grade. Then there is Older Frank (Michael Legge), who bears the grave responsibility for sending a young woman's soul to hell and is working as one of Satan's emissaries on Earth, writing threatening letters to those who are behind in their payments to the local moneylender.But for each crucible there is a corresponding minor miracle. My favorite is when Frank is ordered to write an essay on what would have happened if Jesus had been born in Limmerick, but the most significant one comes when for once in his life, a death becomes a blessing for Frank McCourt and every poor soul he knows in the lane. There are certainly moments of warm humor in this film, as there are moments of pathos, but somehow not quite as many as I would expect given the director and his source material. However, I am having an urge to track down my wife's copy of McCourt's book and am in "litigious anticipation" of reading it for myself and proving my grand suspicion that all of the limitations of the film version of "Angela's Ashes" are in the adaptation and not the original material.	15Movie & TV	0.333333	3
Angela's Ashes (Die Asche Meiner Mutter) [DVD] [Region 2] [German Import] (2000)	2.99	1/3	1positive	1,061,856,000	Enjoy what you are having	McCourt's story began with an unimaginable mixture of tragedy and shame; feckless and drunk, the family's father, Malachy, a man from the north, failed to provide for his wife and children for their new life in America. Their baby sister Margaret died in their squalor and they had to return to Ireland.It just liked a fate to their family, poverty and hunger. As Frank said in the film, his dad is made up with three sorts of people. In the morning, he's a good father who loves his children and tells some stories to them. In the afternoon, he went to find jobs but usually with no results. At night, he used the money from rage or even family to the pub. Then he came home drunk at night and sang some Catholic songs.Frankie's childhood was harsh. He lived to take care his brothers and sisters and also faced the death of his sister, Margaret and twins brother. When he returned to Ireland with parents, the problems become more and serious. At that time, he was only five, going on six. Under the poor condition, he got typhoid and conjunctivitis which almost killed his life. Within these months, he read many books of Shakespeare. Although he was in the hospital, it's so lamentable to see that the condition was even better than at home - at least he got enough food and the living place not so damp and dirty.For getting more money, Frank's dad went to England and find jobs. But he has never sent them back money. At that time, Frank knew that all he could do was - finding jobs. Then he followed his uncle and distributed the coal. But the worst was - it nearly blinded him. After that, his mother moved to live with the relative who is fat, ugly and hateful. He always asked Frank's mother did all the things for him. Finally when Frank knew that he even made love with his mother, he felt angry and left alone. He found a job from post office and as a postman. It's stable and helped him to save money. Afterward, he even wrote letter for debtor in Limerick. But she was died and he took her away some money and finally he could get enough money to leave for America.When I watched the movie, I thought that I am so lucky and fortunate already. Frank's story reminds us that there're still many children who survives in hunger and poverty.	15Movie & TV	0.333333	3

Angela's Ashes (Die Asche Meiner Mutter) [DVD] [Region 2] [German Import] (2000)	2.99	1/1	1positive	979,776,000	GOOD ADAPTATION...GREAT ACTING	Many of the previous negative reviews unfairly compare the book to the film. I approached this adaptation of a very well-known book AS A FILM, not a literal or deeper realization of a work of art that, of course, could not measure up to the artist's words. I have not read the book but having seen this movie, I will. There are too many other artists involved in this production to be singularly true to Mr. McCourt's vision of his past but I think they may have gotten much of it right and as a film on it's own, it is well written, excellently acted and does stand on its own as a thoughtful, if mournful, work of art.	15Movie & TV	1	1
Angela's Ashes (Die Asche Meiner Mutter) [DVD] [Region 2] [German Import] (2000)	2.99	1/1	1positive	979,776,000	Not quite as pleasing as the book but close enough	The adaptation of this wonderful book into a movie almost worked perfectly except that if you had read the book than you really didn't need to see the movie. On the other hand in case you missed the book than I suggest watching the movie with an open heart. Like many of the other reviewers of this DVD I was a bit disapointed after seeing the adaptation at first but than started to enjoy the beautiful picture the movies paints of Ireland. In the end I suggest buying the movie and watching it every few years to remember the magic that is the book.	15Movie & TV	1	1
Angela's Ashes (Die Asche Meiner Mutter) [DVD] [Region 2] [German Import] (2000)	2.99	1/1	1positive	976,665,600	Very Good But A Downer	Alan Parker, the director, doesn't do bad work and this film is no exception. My favorite film of his remains "Sid and Nancy." His film of survival as child Frank McCourt in a bare bones poverty-stricken family in Ireland can be bleak. McCourt makes it out of Ireland and to America by film's end, a true story, but getting there is a gray, rain-sodden event. I will single out one actor though who is absolutely superb. That is Robert Carlyle as Frank's father and his portrayal of his losing battle with alcohol and unemployment despite wanting to be a loving father and family man. I wanted to hate him for his weaknesses and how they hurt his family but Carlyle actually had me pitying his character too. The last one sees of him in the movie was a really peak moment that is impossible to forget. I can see him now walking away from Frank in the rain. I'd seen Carlyle in movies before but he pulled out all of the stops on this one. I've been trying to discover the wonderfulness of Emily Watson that all filmmakers tell me is there in her acting ability. Her appeal continues to elude me, however, despite seeing at least six films with her in the lead. The young actors who play Frank are splendid. What moments of humor are in the film are with the children, not the adults. "Angela's Ashes" is worth watching but I certainly wouldn't recommend it if you are already depressed. Stressed out from a hard day? Move onto another flick.	15Movie & TV	1	1
Angela's Ashes (Die Asche Meiner Mutter) [DVD] [Region 2] [German Import] (2000)	2.99	1/1	1positive	967,939,200	Stark realism from another time and place	This film is narrated by the eldest son in a poor Irish family. The family's poverty is not helped by a father who gets a job, only to lose it because his drinking renders him irresponsible. In the best of times, the father is a charming rogue who loves his wife and children. Through deaths of their children and grinding poverty, his charm runs thin with his usually-patient wife. The movie is a realistic picture of the lives of the poor in Ireland, and is somewhat depressing in its depiction of a seemingly hopeless situation. The acting is excellent, especially by the young children. A thought-provoking movie, it leaves the viewer with profound thanks for the material and spiritual riches of life which are possible in our times.	15Movie & TV	1	1

Angela's Ashes (Die Asche Meiner Mutter) [DVD] [Region 2] [German Import] (2000)	2.99	5/7	1positive	1,026,432,000	Growing up dirt poor, but full of life, in Ireland.	My wife and I rented the video of, Angela's Ashes. I had read the book and it's sequel, 'Tis, both by Frank McCourt. It's an autobiography, about growing up in the direst poverty in Brooklyn and Ireland.Although the book showed the bleakest of poverty, I thought it was wildly funny on the whole. The movie focused more on the sad aspects alone. The frequent black and white footage of the dark and gloomy rain soaked lanes of Irish cities cast a black mood over me. Living conditions were one step better than living in a dumpster. I can see where, to a nave viewer unfamiliar with the ways things were, the conditions might seem funny at first. They are so extreme; one couldn't possibly believe that people actually lived like that. It must be a joke! But millions of Irish grew up just like that and many died under the conditions, without ever growing up.The institutional church and all authority come out looking pretty bad. There are the priests and brothers who slam doors in their faces when they go to them for help. When Frank gets a job delivering telegrams, he finds out that at the houses of the Religious they don't give tips to poor boys that deliver telegrams.There's an overfed priest handing out leftover food from the rectory table to destitute women at the back door. Going before the government Dole board and the St. Vincent DePaul Society is a humiliating, dehumanizing experience. The school-teachers are mostly hostile and domineering. Corporal punishment is the norm.Priests rain down fire and brimstone from the pulpits. They threaten eternal damnation to the fires of hell for sins of sexual impurity, to boys who have had multiple brothers and sisters die of hunger and disease and who are so hungry they lick the grease off newspapers used to wrap food.Strangely, despite the harshness of the church, Frank prays, especially to Saint Francis of Assisi. A humane Franciscan priest hears his badly needed confession and gives him absolution.The role of Frank's father was played perfectly. He appears exactly as he does in the book. The author and director made a fair attempt to paint a three dimensional character. I feel like I understood him, from the outside, or from a distance as much as one can understand a man like that. As Frank says, he was like three different people. One was the man who told great children's stories and the man so proud to have fought with the IRA for Ireland and challenged his toddler sons to pledge to die for Ireland. There was the man who looked for work and could never find any. And then there was the man who went out and spent all his money on booze while his children starved, some to death. Others died to disease, aggravated by malnutrition.As much as the viewer may hate or despise the father, the bonds between father and son ultimately hold. At one point Frank's father goes to England for a good paying factory job. Months go by; he doesn't send a penny home. He spends it all in the pubs of England. He shows up in the lane on Christmas Eve. He doesn't have a penny for the family. He has a box of candy with him, one piece for each kid, for Christmas day. On Christmas day, the father suddenly leaves to return to England. As his father is walking out through the alleyways, Frank tries to secretly follow him. Frank says to himself, "If I was in America, I could say I love you dad, I love you, but I was in Limerick and in Limerick they'd laugh at you if you said that. You're only allowed to say you love God and babies and horses that win; otherwise, they'd think you're soft in the head.	15Movie & TV	0.714286	7
Forbidden Games (1995)	null	40/51	1positive	1,071,532,800	Cheese and cheesecake - yum!	It's pretty evident what sort of film this is, from just the first 5 minutes. Little more than a vehicle for lots of sex and flesh, the ball gets rolling pretty quickly.The only reason I bought this film in the first place was because of Amy Weber. Amy is one of the more notable models (IMHO), and well worth the price of admission.Oh, you want plot? Not much there, I'm afraid.Jeff Griggs is the "Psychic Detective" (and not a very good one). While attempting to solve a murder mystery, beautiful women keep throwing themselves at his feet, for some unknown reason. He's quite amusing, with a style of speech that reminds me of a constipated Clint Eastwood.I dare not reveal the ending, except to say that it is quite (unintentionally) funny.	15Movie & TV	0.784314	51
Forbidden Games (1995)	null	0/0	1positive	1,152,835,200	I Love such Games	This is surely Amy Weber's sexiest movie. She has quite a figure that is on full display more than once. A rich man dies under mysterious circumstances, and a psychic investigates. He has very close encounters with three ladies prominent in the man's life. All of the ladies are attractive and are nude in the film. I think Amy is sexiest and has the best figure, but there are many attractive ladies in this film, e.g. "Playboy" model Raquel Crystal (aka Griffin Drew) wears a T-back as she escorts the hero in a great scene.	15Movie & TV	0	0

Beyond the Steppes (2010)	7.37	5/7	1positive	1,345,852,800	Satisfactory	I would have classified as excellent, but for the difficulty of getting English sub titles to load. I watched this movie on free broadcast, WGVU, in Michigan. The English sub titles were excellent on free broadcast. I spent over 2 hours dealing with the sub title issue and finally gave up. I watched it with NO sub titles, which defeated my purpose, since I am studying the Russian language. I turned them on and off and attempted all different approaches within the dvd player, as well as the television itself. I powered up and down and reset, and tested other dvds....All to no avail. I realize this is a Polish language movie, but there is Russian, also, spoken.The time line in the movie is good. It allows the viewer to experience the impact on the lives of those portrayed, from beginning, to the end result.I liked this movie. I have the correct "Region" copy. I am disappointed in the sub titles/captions/etc/etc.....I did them all. This is the first dvd I have ever played or owned, which would not load sub titles for me.I did NOT test it on the laptop. I do not intend to test it on the laptop. Write it off as experience, and maybe ONE day, it will magically work, in another setting, on this player or another.Good drama. If you want a good taste of what some common families/people may have had to endure during times of war, this is a good example.I would purchase another movie from this manufacturer/producer and give it another try with the sub titles. The package arrived quickly. It was in excellent condition. It was as promised. Mitsubishi DD 6020, my player.	15Movie & TV	0.714286	7

This has still become my daughters very favorite (with fashion fairytale and perfect christmas comming up closely behind). Some movies are not meant to be an entire life lesson. Which is how I see this one. It is just fun and girly. Which is what my daughter is. In this she can sing along and dance along. And become enchanted by the transformations. It's introduced new imaginative play ideas as later I find her strumming on her air guitar making up little songs. Is it an emmy worthy film, no.

I generally personally couldn't give a rats butt about Barbie... I just figured she would like it. Well, to my surprise, I actually enjoyed it too. You know, as a parent you end up in phases where you see the same show or movie over and over. This one is a joy to repeat unlike many other things out there. Seeing this 10 times or having to watch Little Einsteins again, I will take this EVERY time. : ) All that aside, my daughter (3) loves the movie and that is what matters most.	15Movie & TV	0	1

Barbie: The Princess & The Popstar (Spanish Version)	8.93	0/1	1positive	1,360,540,800	Must add this to your Barbie collection!	If you're a fan of the old Barbie movies as my children and I are, you need to add this to your collection! And if this is your first Barbie movie, it's a wonderful introduction!My daughters (ages 3 and 6) LOVE this movie, and I have to admit I enjoy watching it, as well. It's a great story of friendship and discovering your own strengths and talents. The music is very catchy; my daughters absolutely love the song "Here I Am" and play that track over and over again. I don't understand why some reviewers are so upset with this re-telling of the Princess and the Pauper story. It is merely a different take on a classic story, NOT a ripoff. And only one of the songs is the same, ("To Be A Princess") but with some fun modern changes. I was delighted when I heard it, and thought it a great way to pay homage to the other Barbie movie, which is also wonderful.We have most of the old Barbie movies starting with the Nutcracker, and the Three Musketeers being the most recent. The old ones are simply wonderful, and speaking as a mom, I prefer them. I began to dislike the way the Barbie movies were changing. The animation was looking absurd, with pointy chins and ridiculously thin figures, (Fashion Fairy tale comes to mind as the worst of the lot). And I did not like the way the characters acted and dressed. I didn't feel it was appropriate for my young girls to watch characters obsessed with clothes, make-up and material things. Or to be running around with short shorts, bare tummies and tattoos, as in the latest Barbie Mermaid movies.This movie is a breath of fresh air, and reminds me of the old ones. The two main characters dress cute but not vulgar, and appropriate for their age. They are fun, spunky, a little childish, but they grow and mature, just like your average young girl! And I love that Kelly Sheridan is back as the voice of Barbie. The songs are fun and bouncy, and my girls love to sing and dance along with them.This film has restored my faith in the Barbie movies, and I find myself eagerly awaiting the next installment. If you're on the shelf, buy this movie! Your children (and you as a parent) will not be disappointed!	15Movie & TV	0	1

very good movie

I didnt read the book. But I thought the movie was really good. I guess all the people that are rating this movie as bad are just the typical ''Good-book, bad-movie'' folks, they are mostly everywhere and no matter how much beauty lies in one film, they will always stand in their monotonous position.

Brilliant and unforgettable

This film is a masterpiece, and, I believe ranks among the greatest ever made. It is a masterful portrait of a difficult, impoverished, but at the same time, powerfully poignant childhood that haunts McCourt to this day. The brutal realities are all intact, but there is also an undercurrent of the desperate love the family members had for one another which is brilliantly realized in nearly every frame. All I can say is Bravo, Alan Parker - you have made something beautiful.

Disappointing After Reading the Book

I picked this DVD up the second day after finishing Frank McCourt's Book by the same name, I was quite disappointed. As is the Usual Case the Movie was not to be compared to the book.I found the book much more emotional than the movie.However it does offer the look of Ireland at that period in timeand some of the happenings in the book, so I think it's definitely worth watching,...but read the book afterwards ! You won't be disappointed.Recommended !!

and I thought Malcolm's family was dysfunctional...

This was a powerful movie; I'm not sure if I was supposed to feel sorry for Frank or just be disgusted at their living conditions. I haven't read the book, so I just took the movie for what it was---a grim dose of reality. Joe Breen gets a high five; he was very convincing as young Frank McCourt.

Not A Good Advertisement For The Tourist Industry In Ireland

This would have to beone of the most depressing fims I have ever sat through. It concerns the childhood and adolescence of writer Frank McCourt who grrew up in Limerick , Ireland. In that dump of a town Limerick it is always raining or it is going to rain. We see Frank's father as a hopeles alcoholic who never actually got off his lazy drunken ass to get a job and support his family. Then he abandons his family when his wife refuses to grant him anymore sexual satisfaction. Both him and his wife can afford to smoke tailor made cigarettes but they can't afford to pay the rent or feed their kids.One gets the impression that the condom manufacturers would find a HUGE market in Ireland. I give this movie 5 stars because Frank had the sense to jump on a boat and head to the USA where he everntaully found a job as a teacher and then a career as a successful writer.

stays true to the book

My husband and I read this book the summer before my son was born. Frank Mc Court recalls some really terrible circumstances in his childhood that both shock you and make you laugh out loud. He is so matter of fact in his story telling. I highly recommend this book.

Alan Parker adapts Frank McCourt's memoirs

It took a while for me to get interested in "Angela's Ashes," and I was surprised to realize that the problem with the early part of Alan Parker's film was that the music was laying it on too thick. This is a surprise, of course, because the music is by John Williams. A narrator's voice tells us that there is nothing quite as bad as being raised in a poor Irish Catholic neighborhood and the music tries to nudge us in that direction. But seeing as how the words were enough to have me thinking of all the other cinematic examples of the lives of the poor in Ireland, the music was just a bother.The movie is based on Frank McCourt's Pulitzer Prize winning memoir and knowing that is important because despite everything that happens in this film--or, more properly, because of it--young Frank is going to make it back to America and become a success. The film begins with the irony of an Irish family on a ship passing the Statue of Liberty going east as the McCourt's leave New York City to return to Limmerick. Malachy McCourt (Robert Carlyle) will have no more luck there finding a job to support his wife, Angela (Emily Watson) and four boys, but at least there is a family that can provide some support and a dole that will pay 13 shillings a week (5 for the rent, the rest to feed the family). However, unemployment is not the only constant in the McCourt family. There are deaths and births, whipping from the teachers at the school and the drunken singing of Malachy, all of which become part of the cycle of Frank's life."Angela's Ashes" is a story about poignant poverty, where the humor of the situations tries to win out in the end. Clearly Frank loves both his parents despite the "shame" they bring upon the family, his mother because she will beg for the scraps from the priests' table and his father because he will drink away not only his wages but the money sent for a new baby. I have to admit to some disappointment that there is not a point where Frank turns on his father (the way he does on his mother at one point), because what limited value the man might have had does not make it to the screen. But then Frank never seems to connect the survival of his family to the shame his mother endures, both private and public.The movie covers three main stages in Frank's life and there are a trio of young actors who capture each stage and their respective crucibles. For Young Frank (Joe Breen) it is his first Holy Communion and the onslaught of confessions that it engenders. Middle Frank (Ciaran Owens) faces a serious illness that does not succeed in killing him but does force him to be humiliated by going back a grade. Then there is Older Frank (Michael Legge), who bears the grave responsibility for sending a young woman's soul to hell and is working as one of Satan's emissaries on Earth, writing threatening letters to those who are behind in their payments to the local moneylender.But for each crucible there is a corresponding minor miracle. My favorite is when Frank is ordered to write an essay on what would have happened if Jesus had been born in Limmerick, but the most significant one comes when for once in his life, a death becomes a blessing for Frank McCourt and every poor soul he knows in the lane. There are certainly moments of warm humor in this film, as there are moments of pathos, but somehow not quite as many as I would expect given the director and his source material. However, I am having an urge to track down my wife's copy of McCourt's book and am in "litigious anticipation" of reading it for myself and proving my grand suspicion that all of the limitations of the film version of "Angela's Ashes" are in the adaptation and not the original material.

Enjoy what you are having

McCourt's story began with an unimaginable mixture of tragedy and shame; feckless and drunk, the family's father, Malachy, a man from the north, failed to provide for his wife and children for their new life in America. Their baby sister Margaret died in their squalor and they had to return to Ireland.It just liked a fate to their family, poverty and hunger. As Frank said in the film, his dad is made up with three sorts of people. In the morning, he's a good father who loves his children and tells some stories to them. In the afternoon, he went to find jobs but usually with no results. At night, he used the money from rage or even family to the pub. Then he came home drunk at night and sang some Catholic songs.Frankie's childhood was harsh. He lived to take care his brothers and sisters and also faced the death of his sister, Margaret and twins brother. When he returned to Ireland with parents, the problems become more and serious. At that time, he was only five, going on six. Under the poor condition, he got typhoid and conjunctivitis which almost killed his life. Within these months, he read many books of Shakespeare. Although he was in the hospital, it's so lamentable to see that the condition was even better than at home - at least he got enough food and the living place not so damp and dirty.For getting more money, Frank's dad went to England and find jobs. But he has never sent them back money. At that time, Frank knew that all he could do was - finding jobs. Then he followed his uncle and distributed the coal. But the worst was - it nearly blinded him. After that, his mother moved to live with the relative who is fat, ugly and hateful. He always asked Frank's mother did all the things for him. Finally when Frank knew that he even made love with his mother, he felt angry and left alone. He found a job from post office and as a postman. It's stable and helped him to save money. Afterward, he even wrote letter for debtor in Limerick. But she was died and he took her away some money and finally he could get enough money to leave for America.When I watched the movie, I thought that I am so lucky and fortunate already. Frank's story reminds us that there're still many children who survives in hunger and poverty.

GOOD ADAPTATION...GREAT ACTING

Many of the previous negative reviews unfairly compare the book to the film. I approached this adaptation of a very well-known book AS A FILM, not a literal or deeper realization of a work of art that, of course, could not measure up to the artist's words. I have not read the book but having seen this movie, I will. There are too many other artists involved in this production to be singularly true to Mr. McCourt's vision of his past but I think they may have gotten much of it right and as a film on it's own, it is well written, excellently acted and does stand on its own as a thoughtful, if mournful, work of art.

Not quite as pleasing as the book but close enough

The adaptation of this wonderful book into a movie almost worked perfectly except that if you had read the book than you really didn't need to see the movie. On the other hand in case you missed the book than I suggest watching the movie with an open heart. Like many of the other reviewers of this DVD I was a bit disapointed after seeing the adaptation at first but than started to enjoy the beautiful picture the movies paints of Ireland. In the end I suggest buying the movie and watching it every few years to remember the magic that is the book.

Very Good But A Downer

Alan Parker, the director, doesn't do bad work and this film is no exception. My favorite film of his remains "Sid and Nancy." His film of survival as child Frank McCourt in a bare bones poverty-stricken family in Ireland can be bleak. McCourt makes it out of Ireland and to America by film's end, a true story, but getting there is a gray, rain-sodden event. I will single out one actor though who is absolutely superb. That is Robert Carlyle as Frank's father and his portrayal of his losing battle with alcohol and unemployment despite wanting to be a loving father and family man. I wanted to hate him for his weaknesses and how they hurt his family but Carlyle actually had me pitying his character too. The last one sees of him in the movie was a really peak moment that is impossible to forget. I can see him now walking away from Frank in the rain. I'd seen Carlyle in movies before but he pulled out all of the stops on this one. I've been trying to discover the wonderfulness of Emily Watson that all filmmakers tell me is there in her acting ability. Her appeal continues to elude me, however, despite seeing at least six films with her in the lead. The young actors who play Frank are splendid. What moments of humor are in the film are with the children, not the adults. "Angela's Ashes" is worth watching but I certainly wouldn't recommend it if you are already depressed. Stressed out from a hard day? Move onto another flick.

Stark realism from another time and place

This film is narrated by the eldest son in a poor Irish family. The family's poverty is not helped by a father who gets a job, only to lose it because his drinking renders him irresponsible. In the best of times, the father is a charming rogue who loves his wife and children. Through deaths of their children and grinding poverty, his charm runs thin with his usually-patient wife. The movie is a realistic picture of the lives of the poor in Ireland, and is somewhat depressing in its depiction of a seemingly hopeless situation. The acting is excellent, especially by the young children. A thought-provoking movie, it leaves the viewer with profound thanks for the material and spiritual riches of life which are possible in our times.

Growing up dirt poor, but full of life, in Ireland.

My wife and I rented the video of, Angela's Ashes. I had read the book and it's sequel, 'Tis, both by Frank McCourt. It's an autobiography, about growing up in the direst poverty in Brooklyn and Ireland.Although the book showed the bleakest of poverty, I thought it was wildly funny on the whole. The movie focused more on the sad aspects alone. The frequent black and white footage of the dark and gloomy rain soaked lanes of Irish cities cast a black mood over me. Living conditions were one step better than living in a dumpster. I can see where, to a nave viewer unfamiliar with the ways things were, the conditions might seem funny at first. They are so extreme; one couldn't possibly believe that people actually lived like that. It must be a joke! But millions of Irish grew up just like that and many died under the conditions, without ever growing up.The institutional church and all authority come out looking pretty bad. There are the priests and brothers who slam doors in their faces when they go to them for help. When Frank gets a job delivering telegrams, he finds out that at the houses of the Religious they don't give tips to poor boys that deliver telegrams.There's an overfed priest handing out leftover food from the rectory table to destitute women at the back door. Going before the government Dole board and the St. Vincent DePaul Society is a humiliating, dehumanizing experience. The school-teachers are mostly hostile and domineering. Corporal punishment is the norm.Priests rain down fire and brimstone from the pulpits. They threaten eternal damnation to the fires of hell for sins of sexual impurity, to boys who have had multiple brothers and sisters die of hunger and disease and who are so hungry they lick the grease off newspapers used to wrap food.Strangely, despite the harshness of the church, Frank prays, especially to Saint Francis of Assisi. A humane Franciscan priest hears his badly needed confession and gives him absolution.The role of Frank's father was played perfectly. He appears exactly as he does in the book. The author and director made a fair attempt to paint a three dimensional character. I feel like I understood him, from the outside, or from a distance as much as one can understand a man like that. As Frank says, he was like three different people. One was the man who told great children's stories and the man so proud to have fought with the IRA for Ireland and challenged his toddler sons to pledge to die for Ireland. There was the man who looked for work and could never find any. And then there was the man who went out and spent all his money on booze while his children starved, some to death. Others died to disease, aggravated by malnutrition.As much as the viewer may hate or despise the father, the bonds between father and son ultimately hold. At one point Frank's father goes to England for a good paying factory job. Months go by; he doesn't send a penny home. He spends it all in the pubs of England. He shows up in the lane on Christmas Eve. He doesn't have a penny for the family. He has a box of candy with him, one piece for each kid, for Christmas day. On Christmas day, the father suddenly leaves to return to England. As his father is walking out through the alleyways, Frank tries to secretly follow him. Frank says to himself, "If I was in America, I could say I love you dad, I love you, but I was in Limerick and in Limerick they'd laugh at you if you said that. You're only allowed to say you love God and babies and horses that win; otherwise, they'd think you're soft in the head.

Cheese and cheesecake - yum!

It's pretty evident what sort of film this is, from just the first 5 minutes. Little more than a vehicle for lots of sex and flesh, the ball gets rolling pretty quickly.The only reason I bought this film in the first place was because of Amy Weber. Amy is one of the more notable models (IMHO), and well worth the price of admission.Oh, you want plot? Not much there, I'm afraid.Jeff Griggs is the "Psychic Detective" (and not a very good one). While attempting to solve a murder mystery, beautiful women keep throwing themselves at his feet, for some unknown reason. He's quite amusing, with a style of speech that reminds me of a constipated Clint Eastwood.I dare not reveal the ending, except to say that it is quite (unintentionally) funny.

I Love such Games

This is surely Amy Weber's sexiest movie. She has quite a figure that is on full display more than once. A rich man dies under mysterious circumstances, and a psychic investigates. He has very close encounters with three ladies prominent in the man's life. All of the ladies are attractive and are nude in the film. I think Amy is sexiest and has the best figure, but there are many attractive ladies in this film, e.g. "Playboy" model Raquel Crystal (aka Griffin Drew) wears a T-back as she escorts the hero in a great scene.

Satisfactory

I would have classified as excellent, but for the difficulty of getting English sub titles to load. I watched this movie on free broadcast, WGVU, in Michigan. The English sub titles were excellent on free broadcast. I spent over 2 hours dealing with the sub title issue and finally gave up. I watched it with NO sub titles, which defeated my purpose, since I am studying the Russian language. I turned them on and off and attempted all different approaches within the dvd player, as well as the television itself. I powered up and down and reset, and tested other dvds....All to no avail. I realize this is a Polish language movie, but there is Russian, also, spoken.The time line in the movie is good. It allows the viewer to experience the impact on the lives of those portrayed, from beginning, to the end result.I liked this movie. I have the correct "Region" copy. I am disappointed in the sub titles/captions/etc/etc.....I did them all. This is the first dvd I have ever played or owned, which would not load sub titles for me.I did NOT test it on the laptop. I do not intend to test it on the laptop. Write it off as experience, and maybe ONE day, it will magically work, in another setting, on this player or another.Good drama. If you want a good taste of what some common families/people may have had to endure during times of war, this is a good example.I would purchase another movie from this manufacturer/producer and give it another try with the sub titles. The package arrived quickly. It was in excellent condition. It was as promised. Mitsubishi DD 6020, my player.

5 Stars for Barbie

Alright, so I'm a mother of a 3 year old who ONLY wanted this movie because it has a preview before The Lorax on DVD comes on. So, she would get the songs stuck in her head and then prance around like a Princess.We got the movie from Redbox after WEEKS of begging from my daughter. I can't stand Barbie. And as opposed to Barbie DOLLS as I am, the movies actually aren't too bad. I was able to watch it twice. My daughter on the other hand, watched it a bazillion times!So, when this movie went on sale for $5 on amazon, I scooped it up. I wish I could say I will be my daughter's hero when she get's this movie for Christmas, but all the credit will go to Santa. :)Merry Christmas!

Amazing for a little Girl

While this movie may be similar to princess and the pauper, and the underlying message may be a little more subtle than other movies... This has still become my daughters very favorite (with fashion fairytale and perfect christmas comming up closely behind). Some movies are not meant to be an entire life lesson. Which is how I see this one. It is just fun and girly. Which is what my daughter is. In this she can sing along and dance along. And become enchanted by the transformations. It's introduced new imaginative play ideas as later I find her strumming on her air guitar making up little songs. Is it an emmy worthy film, no. Will it give your daughter tons of fun, yes!

I bought it for my daughter... I generally personally couldn't give a rats butt about Barbie... I just figured she would like it. Well, to my surprise, I actually enjoyed it too. You know, as a parent you end up in phases where you see the same show or movie over and over. This one is a joy to repeat unlike many other things out there. Seeing this 10 times or having to watch Little Einsteins again, I will take this EVERY time. : ) All that aside, my daughter (3) loves the movie and that is what matters most.

Must add this to your Barbie collection!

If you're a fan of the old Barbie movies as my children and I are, you need to add this to your collection! And if this is your first Barbie movie, it's a wonderful introduction!My daughters (ages 3 and 6) LOVE this movie, and I have to admit I enjoy watching it, as well. It's a great story of friendship and discovering your own strengths and talents. The music is very catchy; my daughters absolutely love the song "Here I Am" and play that track over and over again. I don't understand why some reviewers are so upset with this re-telling of the Princess and the Pauper story. It is merely a different take on a classic story, NOT a ripoff. And only one of the songs is the same, ("To Be A Princess") but with some fun modern changes. I was delighted when I heard it, and thought it a great way to pay homage to the other Barbie movie, which is also wonderful.We have most of the old Barbie movies starting with the Nutcracker, and the Three Musketeers being the most recent. The old ones are simply wonderful, and speaking as a mom, I prefer them. I began to dislike the way the Barbie movies were changing. The animation was looking absurd, with pointy chins and ridiculously thin figures, (Fashion Fairy tale comes to mind as the worst of the lot). And I did not like the way the characters acted and dressed. I didn't feel it was appropriate for my young girls to watch characters obsessed with clothes, make-up and material things. Or to be running around with short shorts, bare tummies and tattoos, as in the latest Barbie Mermaid movies.This movie is a breath of fresh air, and reminds me of the old ones. The two main characters dress cute but not vulgar, and appropriate for their age. They are fun, spunky, a little childish, but they grow and mature, just like your average young girl! And I love that Kelly Sheridan is back as the voice of Barbie. The songs are fun and bouncy, and my girls love to sing and dance along with them.This film has restored my faith in the Barbie movies, and I find myself eagerly awaiting the next installment. If you're on the shelf, buy this movie! Your children (and you as a parent) will not be disappointed!

Cute Movie, Great Music!

My 4 yr old daughter has watched this movie over and over again since she got it for Christmas. It is actually a cute movie and pretty entertaining. The music, however, is amazing. Anyone a Cyndi Lauper fan??!! They used tunes we all know and love and changed the words. All of the songs are good, and they are even stuck in the heads of me and my husband.I caught him whistling the theme song the other day. My daughter and her friends love the movie, and they all know the songs and some of the dance steps. This movie is 5 stars. Watch out--you may have to buy the dolls then too!

Daughter Loves the Movie

My daughter said the movie is AWESOME. My only problem is I will never purchase a movie for download from amazon again. They put you through so much to download the movie and once you have downloaded you are not free to watch it however and whenever you want to. I even tried to burn the movie on dvd to watch on the tv but it has permission blocks to stop that. Overall good movie but bad deal.

My Three Year Old Loves It

I personally can't stand Barbie so I have never been able to sit and watch it all the way through with my three year old but she has watched it fifteen or more times. She sings and dances to the songs even when the movie is not playing. It gets really annoying but I'm glad she's happy. If you're preschooler loves Barbie, get this, and you won't be disappointed.

My Daughter is six years old and loves this movie. She has watched it soooo many times that my mom won't let her bring it over to her place anymore! Another fun Barbie movie. I read some of the reviews and it is kind of like the Princess and the Pauper, but at this age it really doesn't matter to them. The new songs are fun!

5 year old loves this movie

This movie is a fairly good movie as a barbie movie. My daughter who is 5 loves it, the songs she loves and the whole story. This seems to be the typical barbie movie (it's like Princess Charm School, Mermaid Tale, ect). My daughter loved it so much that she is going to be the "purple" barbie for halloween (i'm unsure of her name, i don't pay attention that much to it lol). If your child loves the other barbie movies this one will not disappoint.

Grand-daughters ages 8 and 3 LOVED it!

My grand-daughters had seen the preview of this movie on another Barbie movie and were anxiously awaiting the release of it. Since my three year old granddaughter knows all the words to the song "Here I am" from the movie and is going to dress up as the Pop Star for Halloween and my eight year old granddaughter is going to dress up as Tori, the Princess, I would say it was a big hit! They are already looking forward to the release of the next Barbie movie.

A fun DVD.

My daughters love Barbie movies, but I have never purchased any before. This movie has a lot of fun songs and teaches my girls that they can do anything they set their mind to. They love it (one is 9 and one is 3 years old). It works for a range of ages and I even catch my sons watching it sometimes. Barbie movies suck you in! More interesting than you would think.
