Review Cadillac Desert - Water and the Transformation of Nature: Boxed Set (Includes Chinatown 1974 Feature Film) / Homevision:How did we turn thousands of square miles of the American Southwest into fertile farmland and thriving cities? How do we intend to sustain the life now dependent on our engineering? These and many other thoughtful questions are raised by the Cadillac Desert series, based on the book by Marc Reisner and on Last Oasis by Sandra Postel. Extensive interviews with the authors, dam builders, environmentalists, and those directly effected (for better and worse) by the water works are enlightening, sometimes funny, and sometimes maddening. The photography is brilliant, contrasting the natural beauty of the wetlands and deserts with the artificial beauty of the dams, waterways, and agricultural lands. Absorbing, engaging, and entertaining, Cadillac Desert is an excellent introduction to the recent history of our "invisible resource. " This set also includes the Jack Nicholson movie Chinatown, which illuminates many of the issues brought to light in this series-Rob Lightner No fiction could match the real-life drama behind the struggle for water in the modern American West. An extraordinary tale of triumph and disaster, of heroes and scoundrels, Cadillac Desert chronicles the growth of civilization in the desert, the resistance to this achievement, and the dangers it has created at home and abroad. From executive producers Jonathan Taplin (The Prize) and Sandra Itkoff (producer of The Twentieth Century Project). After learning the facts behind the fiction of Chinatown, the Cadillac Desert boxed set provides a perfect opportunity to "revisit" this Academy Award®-winning classic. From Paramount Home Video, Chinatown stars Jack Nicholson and Faye Dunaway. 1974, Rated R, Closed Captioned, Color, Paramount, Trademark ® and © 1997 by Paramount Pictures. [+]All Rights Reserved.

Review Cnn: Cold War (8pc) / Turner Home Ent:If anything defined the 20th century as the age of anxiety, it's the cold war with its ultimate no-win nuclear endgame. While conflicts in Korea and Vietnam dragged on, providing the traditional images of modern warfare, some of the conflict's most dangerous battles were invisible-tactical, intellectual, and fought primarily in the minds and war rooms of U. S. and Soviet leaders: Kennedy, Krushchev, Castro, Kissinger, Gorbachev, and Reagan. This 8-volume, 24-episode series, narrated by Kenneth Branagh, is a comprehensive history that examines the key events of the arc of the Soviet Union, from its birth to its fall, and provides a thorough analysis of what was going on behind closed doors. Informed by the stories of 500 eyewitnesses-from citizens and soldiers to historians and statesmen-and strengthened by painstaking reconstruction of archival historical film footage, CNN's Cold War is a heroic undertaking and a sweeping chronicle of the world's most fragile decades. -Susan Benson.

Review The Great War and the Shaping of the 20th Century / Pbs Home Video:As this landmark series demonstrates, the cataclysmic effects of World War I last to this day. "The war to end all wars" has influenced the Atomic Age and the Cold War, and is now shaping the conflicts in Bosnia and the Middle East. Period film footage and eyewitness accounts powerfully dramatize the horrors of trench warfare and the chaos of political revolution. History comes alive as The Great War reveals how World War I influenced the rise of communism, witnessed the first use of weapons of mass destruction, and provided a fertile aftermath for the rise of Nazism. Through perspectives from all sides of the war, the series shows how violent events early in this century still cast a dark shadow on life today. Titles include: "Explosion & Stalemate," "Total War & Slaughter," "Mutiny & Collapse," and "Hatred and Hunger & War Without End. ".

Review Remote Viewing - Psychic Spies: Remote Viewing Video Learning Series / UFO TV:In 1995, the CIA admitted to sponsoring a super-secret government program called "STARGATE". For almost 20 years the government used "psychic spies" to remotely view people, places and events. Remote Viewing (RV) was the perfect intelligence tool, because it left no footprints and could access information independent of time and space. RV is similar to clairvoyance or ESP, and is a natural ability almost everyone possesses. The strict RV protocols were developed to isolate the imagination to allow a faint but pure information signal to flow through a person's mind. Since the RV program is no longer classified, we are able to present in this video series the top experts in the field of RV research and operations. Learn the history and the latest applications of this amazing field of "intuitive science", and discover for yourself how to develop and use your own RV skills.

Review Eyes on the Prize (PBS Mini Series Boxed Set) / Pbs Home Video:One of the essential documentary series from 20th-century television, Eyes on the Prize is an extraordinary, grassroots history of the civil rights movement in 1950s and '60s America. Leaving punditry and debate to others, this six-hour program concerns itself with the individuals who were there, who participated on the front lines, who witnessed and survived to tell about the crusade's tragedies and victories. Starting with a pair of mid-'50s heroic actions in the South that helped galvanize black and white activism against institutional racism (actions that included Rosa Parks's refusal to give up her bus seat to a white passenger in Montgomery, Alabama), the series winds its way through the exponential growth of the movement to the passage of the Voting Rights Act and beyond. The epochal battle between states-rights advocates and federal authorities is well-covered, as are the many sacrifices made and enormous risks taken by Mississippi Freedom Riders and advocates of black voter registration. Also in this boxed set is the series' sequel, Eyes on the Prize II: America at the Racial Crossroads 1965-mid 1980s. An equally stirring, eight-hour history of the post-civil-rights years, in which hard-won political power manifested itself both inside and outside elected government offices, this follow-up traces the fracturing of a unified civil rights community into numerous missions and agendas. Driven by interviews and archival footage, the series takes a clear look at such historical chapters as the rise of black separatism, the election of Carl Stokes to Cleveland's Office of the Mayor, and the turmoil of school desegregation. Both the original series and sequel are an absolute must for a contemporary understanding of racism in America. -Tom Keogh Eyes on the Prize, the most comprehensive television documentary on the American civil rights movement ever produced, includes rare film footage and incisive present-day interviews to bring the events of this period to life. Two events of the mid-'50s propel the movement into the headlines: the Mississippi lynching of 14-year-old Emmett Till, and the Montgomery, Alabama bus boycott, inspired by Rosa Parks' refusal to give up her seat to a white man. [+]Walk with hundreds of thousands of protesters to the triumphant 1963 March on Washington. By the mid-'60s, Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. confronts the powerful political machinery of Chicago's Mayer Richard Daley. As America enters the turbulent '70s, African Americans begin celebrating their own culture.
