Product Description

Bridges are the lifeline of Japan. Since the 1930s, the island nation has dreamt of linking its many parts as a whole. But WWII diverted the incredible resources needed to accomplish this, and only since 1960 has the dream moved again, slowly, toward reality. The final step in this massive undertaking was the Akashi-Kaikyo Bridge, the longest single-span suspension bridge in the world. This marvel of architectonics stands as a testament to the genius of Asian engineering and, judged in a context that perhaps the Japanese understand best, as the most beautiful bridge in the world. We'll watch it rise, from sketch to completion, and see how it fared during the massive Kobe earthquake.

Product Description

SUPER, GIRLS! follows 10 female teenagers on their quest to become instant superstars on China's biggest television show.

The Chinese equivalent of "American Idol," the "Super Girls Singing Contest" spawned an unprecedented pop culture phenomenon. Drawing over 400 million viewers, the show's runaway popularity spurred the Chinese government to ban it after only two seasons.

The film provides unparalleled, intimate access into the contestants' lives over several months. Through candid interviews and footage of nail-biting auditions and competitions, SUPER, GIRLS! offers a fascinating look inside what the Chinese media have dubbed "the Lost Generation" and their startling takes on sexuality and success in the new China.

This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media. Amazon.com's standard return policy will apply.

Super, Girls! (Chao Ji Nu Sheng) (Institutional Use) Review

Super, Girls! is one of the few exceptional independent Chinese films that focuses on mainstream popular and youth culture in China. The TV program "Super Girl", a Chinese version of "American Idol", became increasingly popular among Chinese youth in the past five years and led thousands of young girls to pursue their dreams of becoming celebrities. This documentary provides an insightful look at this new cultural phenomenon in China and reflects the changing attitudes on aesthetic taste, gender orientation, sexuality, and value systems among the new generation.

Tinto Brass Collection Review

If you think that the female posterior goes underappreciated these days, then hurry up and enter the colorful and delightfully voyeuristic world of Tinto Brass, which is firmly ruled by the well-rounded derrieres of voluptuous Mediterranean earth maidens; unconventionally intelligent women all. No plastic skeleton dancers from Hollywood here.
THE KEY; MIRANDA; and ALL WOMEN DO IT; are the offerings in this wonderful set. All three films are sensually engrossing and invigorating to the highest degree, boasting commendable production values and masterful cinematography throughout. Especially, MIRANDA, my favorite among them, should prove to be the most potent tonic for our vital senses in this totally restored (and emphatically uncensored), pictorially perfect DVD release. What could be more fabulously joy inspiring than watching Miranda and the other free-spirited enchantresses get dressed and enticingly undressed again while the developments unfold in these high voltage melodramas?! That is a feast for the eyes, positively so!
The key that stimulates intimate encounters; Miranda's amatory restlessness; and a wife's amorous exploits make up the stories in the collection.
Watching these films will energize the shy peekaboo impulses in even the most seasoned couch potato. Tinto Brass has the men always marching at some eye-appealing distance behind the ladies. That way, the central themes in these films remain sensual and profoundly visual, rather than becoming philosophically profound. Don't be alarmed, Brass is no Antonioni. But still, one occasionally wonders if Stanley Kubrick's EYES WIDE SHUT actually borrowed a few thematic ideas from THE KEY.
Tinto Brass gives us strong-willed, erotically-charged, intensely adventurous and whimsically appealing female characters, who, with calculating wisdom and much humor (sometimes genuine kindness even) proceed to mesmerize the hopelessly fetish-driven men around them. Without the slightest doubt, here the women carry most of the intelligence on their shoulders. All this is such fun to study; in clean, crisp color to boot.
Finally, it might be of minor interest to note that I saw two of these films (THE KEY and MIRANDA) a bit more than a decade ago in Kassel, Germany, at the Erotic Film Festival there. It was on a bitterly cold, stormy February evening. The movie audience was audibly very appreciative of the colorful scenery and the frivolous activities on the screen, while the wind was howling outside.These movies seemed to radiate a needed warmth against the cold at that time in Germany. However, while watching the same films again in my own living room not so long ago (more than 10 years later), in the midst of a tremendous heat wave that had unexpectedly hit the Midwest, I still enjoyed the films. Of course, they did not help to lower the temperature at all. But they did make one aware of life's many perverse little ironies.

As a whole, this package of playfully down-to-earth visual entertainment should make us all end up happy.
Here are 4 stars for the set; and, definitely, an additional bright star to honor MIRANDA's beautifully restored glory. Anything less than that would surely be unkind to our basic instincts.

Please note:
My review is based on the newer (August 31, 2004) release of THE TINTO BRASS COLLECTION boxed set. There is also an earlier set of the same 3 films (released June 17, 2003). The box cover art for both sets is identical. However, MIRANDA's restoration is much less impressive in the earlier (2003) box. So, if you want to own a better looking MIRANDA, avoid the earlier (2003) package.

This movie is good, but not the best on this topic. It is worth watching, but I would not repeat it over and over.

CAPOTE/POLLACK - DVD Movie

Capote / Pollock Review

One night (the worst time to surf and shop, I hunted for DVDs. Although I was pleased with the product and very quick standard-mail delivery, think twice--or more--before something like a double pack. It may seem like something you would want at a late hour, but I found myself really wanting only one of the DVDs. This was Pollock and Capote, two artists who were greatly portrayed by Ed Harris and Phillip Seymour Hoffman, respectively. It's a shame Ed Harris came out with Pollock in 2000, the year of Gladiator and Russell Crowe. When all was said and done, I could have easily been happy with Pollock and saved money rather than think I was saving money by buying a double pack. The condition of the DVDs was excellent, however. Also, if you are new to Amazon as a buyer, look out for putting items in the cart. Not only did I regret getting this double pack, but checking out was confusing. I did not see what was actually in the cart or what the total ultimately was. I ended up double buying the double pack! But I give credit to Amazon for giving me a credit in return when I explained the circumstances.
