Boynton Beach Club
May 25, 2008
Recently widowed Marilyn (Brenda Vaccaro), still reeling over the sudden death of her husband, finds an unexpected new circle of friends when she accepts an invitation to join The Boynton Beach Bereavement Club. While not ready to embark on a relationship herself, she is amused to realize that many of her contemporaries are actively looking for love. Lois (Dyan Cannon) is being courted by a younger man (Michael Nouri), while Harry (Joseph Bologna) tries internet dating and encourages his friend Jack (Len Cariou) to pursue a romance with the mysterious Sandy (Sally Kellerman). The Boynton Beach Club proves that 60 IS the new 40 and you’re never too old to fall in love.
Customer Review: I give this love letter of a movie five, count ‘em, five stars.
I don’t give 5 stars to many movies, but it was so nice to see a lot of actors who were “Hot Stuff” in the 70’s, in a movie about life at the age these actors actually are, plus. A little trivia-Did you know for a while the only reason Dyan Cannon was known was she married Cary Grant, (who?), one of the best looking actors of his era, and had his baby, Brenda Vacarro and Barbara Streisand went to High School together. Not as good as “Queen of the Stardust Ballroom”, but very well done and Brenda, Sally and Dyan show that they still have “It”, but, it’s just lower than it used to be. Enjoy!
Customer Review: Can Senior Citizens Have a Love Life?
A rather cute little film about seniors and problems they encounter, especially the grieving process. When a lifetime partner dies, what are the chances for finding love again? Not too interesting for the younger generation. Buy from here…
A Virtuous Woman (Oprah’s Book Club)
May 25, 2008
When Blinking Jack Stokes met Ruby Pitt Woodrow, she was twenty and he was forty. She was the carefully raised daughter of Carolina gentry and he was a skinny tenant farmer who had never owned anything in his life. She was newly widowed after a disastrous marriage to a brutal drifter. He had never asked a woman to do more than help him hitch a mule. They didn’t fall in love so much as they simply found each other and held on for dear life.
Kaye Gibbons’s first novel, Ellen Foster, won the Sue Kaufman Prize for First Fiction from the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters and the praise of writers from Walker Percy to Eudora Welty. In A Virtuous Woman, Gibbons transcends her early promise, creating a multilayered and indelibly convincing portrait of two seemingly ill-matched people who somehow miraculously make a marriage.
Customer Review: Time waster
So, let’s see. A virtuous woman is one who’ll marry anyone who asks her to, one who’ll leave considerate parents without a backward wave because a man with an attractive face suggests doing so, one who decides to take up a distasteful habit to prove she’s capable of vice. Each of the characters in this one-dimensional book is either exclusively good or exclusively bad. That choice of character template is lazy and insulting to readers who’re aware that humanity can’t be sorted so effortlessly. This review is based on the first ten chapters of the book. I wish I’d had the good sense to quit reading beyond chapter one. This is the last book I’ll select based on its inclusion in Oprah’s “list.”
Customer Review: Just kind of ok…
The story was fine and it was a quick read with some interesting moments but overall I would not recommend this book unless you just need something to read on a quick flight. I really don’t understand what all the fuss is about. I believe if you go into this book thinking it’s some amazing novel you will be disappointed. But if you are looking for something light to read without becoming engrossed you will be fine. I certainly wouldn’t call this a page turner and have a whole list of books I would recommend before this one. Buy from here…

Paul McCartney - Live at the Cavern Club
May 25, 2008
On December 14, 1999, 300 people squeezed into the Cavern Club in Liverpool to watch Paul McCartney perform at The Beatles’ legendary venue for the first time since 1963. Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour and Deep Purple drummer Ian Paice were among the other great musicians joining Paul on stage. You can now view this unique piece of rock ‘n’ roll history, as well as two of Paul’s latest music videos and an interview with him on this special DVD release. Songs: Honey Hush, Blue Jean Bop, Brown-Eyed Handsome Man, Fabulous, What It Is, Lonesome Town, Twenty Flight Rock, No Other Baby, Try Not to Cry, Shake a Hand, All Shook Up, I Saw Her Standing There, Party. 63 minutes.
Customer Review: 5 stars for Gilmour alone!
I bought this DVD because I had heard David Gilmour of Pink Floyd plays guitar on it. I like PM, but I’m not a huge fan. I was impressed with both. PM has a great singing voice, and his choice of songs here is great. As to Gilmour, he doesn’t feature too prominantly in the beginning, but as the DVD goes on he gets great camera time and it is awesome to hear him playing a different style of music than his usual style, yet still retaining his own distinctive sound. I actually liked this DVD more than I anticipated I would (and I expected a lot from it!). Could have been longer, but the price is good and the musicianship is stellar. I’m jaded on music DVD’s since Gilmours Remember That Night- which blows everything I’ve seen out of the water… but this intimate show is worth having.
Customer Review: Excellent 50’s Retro with Sir Paul
While some might consider Paul McCartney’s temporary return to Liverpool to play the Cavern Club to be ‘historically significant,’ I love this DVD simply because it allows Paul McCartney, David Gilmour, and company to truly rock out with vintage material originally offered up by Eddie Cochran, Chuck Berry, etc. I can’t convey how wonderful it is to hear McCartney screaming through old 50s rockers, and to see Gilmour belting out up-tempo rockabilly style solos instead of his trademark slow Brit-rock blues. Yes, everyone in this video is well beyond their youth but that really doesn’t matter. This is one of Paul McCartney’s best live performances ever and should be a revelation to anyone who only knows David Gilmour through Pink Floyd.
The concert itself is the main attraction. The extras are ok but basic - just band member bios and a lengthy interview with McCartney. I don’t think McCartney ever gave a revealing interview, and this is no exception. It’s the concert you will return to over and over.
Throughout, McCartney’s love for this music shines through. It reminded me a lot of the way Eric Clapton came to life with his “From the Cradle” CD. This is a DVD that will be appreciated by anyone who loved the way the early Beatles attacked rock classics with boundless energy and love.
