I saw this movie a while ago on TNN and I loved it. I thought it was a great made for TV movie so I just had to order it. Problem is, that was 3 months ago. Amazon said it was in stock (still says that it is) yet ever 3 weeks like clock work they send me an email that it will be delayed. Amazon had no problem charging my credit card but has made ZERO effort getting the movie to me and/or compensating me for the extreme delay.
Don't bother ordering this movie or any other that say there are a few left in stock, because they're all lies.

St. Elmo's Fire

Childrens Toy Shop > VHS > Television
starring: Emilio Estevez, Rob Lowe, Andrew McCarthy, Demi Moore, Judd Nelson
directed by: Joel Schumacher

April 07, 1998
Like most others who grew up on the Brat Pack flicks, I couldn't wait for the next one. I loved the earlier flicks that had not only great writing and warm stories to tell, but characters you cared about and situations that we could ALL relate to, at least to some point. Pick your flick - 16 Candles, Breakfast Club - they had at least SOMETHING everyone could relate to. Not "St. Elmos's Fire." Talk about taking a red hot cast of actors and doing absolutely nothing with them. This movie wasted so much talent and threw unlikeable, pretentious morons at us with some of the corniest dialogue I have ever seen. There is not ONE likeable character in this movie. Rob Lowe's character is a moron - not in the directionless sense the movie tries to protray ... Read More:

I saw this movie when I was maybee 13 years old, around 1969. I always remembered this movie as it made me cry. I watched it again years later and still loved it. I want to buy it and I also agree with the other person who said the movie should be made in a DVD format. I would buy it for sure.

Three Stooges: Have Rocket, Will Travel

Childrens Toy Shop > VHS > Television
starring: Moe Howard, Larry Fine, Joe DeRita, Anna Lisa, Jerome Cowan
directed by: David Lowell Rich

February 02, 1999
Have Rocket, Will Travel is the first feature film starring the Three Stooges. The Stooges work as janitors at a space station and are accidentaly shot up into space when a rocket goes off course. Landing on the planet Venus, Moe, Larry, and Curley Joe discover huge fire-breathing tarantulas, a talking unicorn, and a lonely robot who clones the Stooges so he will have friends. Returning to Earth, the Stooges are celebrated as the first spacemen upon which they have a huge party similar to the ones in so many of their shorts. As expected, the story is very goofy with many of the usual Stooges antics that fans have come to love. While Curley Joe will never be as funny as the original Curly, he is still pretty good as are Moe and Larry. Stooge fans will love this ... Read More:

The Simpsons

directed by: Chuck Sheetz, Gregg Vanzo

I'm sort of a Simpsons fan by default; my boyfriend is a fanatic, which means I've seen every episode multiple times. One Friday night, we decided to put together a list of our top 25 episodes, and "Three Men and a Comic Book" came out #4. Bart, Milhouse, and Martin pool their money to purchase Radioactive Man #1, but when they begin fighting over the comic, hilarity ensues. "Lisa's Substitue" is also a great episode (#23 on our list), but in many ways, it's more poignant than funny. Lisa's regular teacher, Mrs. Hoover, is out with an extended illness, so Lisa's class gets a young, hip substitute who actually cares about teaching. Lisa quickly develops a crush on the teacher (voiced by Dustin Hoffman in an uncredited appearance) and strikes an unfavorable comparison between the substitute ... Read More:

"John, if this case goes before the Supreme Court. . . I'm gonna need you"

It's the early 1950's, in America. The governor of South Carolina James Francis Byrnes, in his 70's at the time, pays a visit to his friend, the famous lawyer John W. Davis. Davis had argued 138 cases in front of the Supreme Court. Byrnes was turning to him for help.

Byrnes was determined to show that discrimination and segregation in public schools were not the same thing. He wanted black school children to have equal schools. He was ashamed of the terrible condition the black schools were in, in his state of South Carolina. He even levied a three percent sales tax to fund the improvement of black schools. He was prepared to spend 75 million dollars to improve the public schools ... Read More:

As with stray cats all you have to do is feed them and love them. If you have ever started feeding stray cats then you can guess what is going to happen next.

The program is kept on a light and comic tone but has sinister implications. After you find the problem and guess who is the culprit(s) are your next task is to find a ... Read More:
