User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Great bike! Better than most I have tried.
I went through a few bikes before i decided on this one. Its a great bargin for the price . I find myself able to use it everyday , its great for working on my laptap while i excersize which seems to distract me quite a bit. Def a great purchase for a home gym .

5 Stars cycle
This is the best recumbant cycle I’ve used, the quality is second to none! I highly reccommend it!

5 Stars Highly Recommended!
Excellent bike. Extremely quite and it provides a great workout. Easy to assemble. It takes up very little space. Not one complaint or concern in this purchase.

4 Stars Comfortable and sturdy
I’m a large lady with a bad back so trying to institute an exercise program has been a challenge for me. This bike is comfortable to use, yet sturdy enough for me to get a good workout without being concerned that it would collapse under my weight. It’s adjustable so my husband, who is 8 inches taller than I am, can use it comfortably too. Be aware that assembly is required. Overall, it’s worth every penny.

Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm

August 29, 2009 by Staying Slim · Leave a Comment 

Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm




Shirley Temple shines as a young radio entertainer in this 1938 Darryl Zanuck film inspired by Kate Wiggin’s classic novel. In a role perfectly suited to her song and dance talents, Temple plays the “very self-reliant” Rebecca Winstead, a precocious pixie who wins the audition to become Crackling Grain Flakes “Little Miss America” for a new radio broadcast. Fame is fleeting, however, when she moves to Sunnybrook Farm to live with Aunt Miranda (Helen Westley), an overbearing curmudgeon who absolutely forbids any entanglements in show business. Since the show must go on, it will require some slapstick tomfoolery and secretive shenanigans that turn an otherwise straightforward story into an uproarious cat-and-mouse comedy. Sunnybrook Farm is reminiscent of Temple’s earlier Poor Little Rich Girl (1936), as it reunites her with co-stars Jack Haley and Gloria Stuart. The soundtrack includes Temple’s legendary songs, “An Old Straw Hat,” “On the Good Ship Lollipop,” and “Animal Crackers in My Soup,” ending with a grandiose military dance number, “The Parade of the Wooden Soldiers,” performed by Temple and renowned tap-dancer Bill “Bojangles” Robinson. The DVD offers two viewing options: a remastered colorized version, or the original (restored) black and white. (All ages) –Lynn Gibson

5 Stars What memories!
What fun to curl up and watch a clean, uplifting movie again. I loved all of the Shirley Temple movies as a child and 50 years later, I still do! Of course, now I can watch them in color!

4 Stars Cute, old-fashioned charm
Cute, old-fashioned charm - the way movies should be - is the best way to describe this. If you’re a fan of Shirley Temple, you’ll enjoy this sweet movie. The only disappointing part is that in a description, I had read that she sings a number of her classics (Good Ship Lollipop and others), but she really only sings a couple of lines from them.

4 Stars charming Temple vehicle
Despite it’s title, REBECCA OF SUNNYBROOK FARM is not a re-telling of the classic Kate Douglas Wiggin story. This is one of the most charming films that Shirley Temple starred in, and I enjoy revisting it often.

Temple plays Rebecca Winstead, a young radio singer who is discovered by talent scout Tony Kent (Randolph Scott). There’s only one hitch: Rebecca’s frosty Aunt Miranda (Helen Westley) who isn’t about to have her niece go into showbusiness. You can pretty much guess the rest…

This little gem runs at a brisk pace and is filled with warmth and humour. Temple gets to share the screen with some of her regular cohorts (Helen Westley, Bill “Bojangles” Robinson, Jack Haley, Gloria Stuart and Randolph Scott).

The musical score includes such delights as “An Old Straw Hat”, “Happy Endings”, “Come and Get Your Happiness”, and “Parade of the Wooden Soldiers”. Temple also gets to sing a medley of her greatest hits.

The cast also features Phyllis Brooks, Slim Summerville, Ruth Gillette, William Demarest, and Dixie Dunbar. Look out for a young Mary McCarty, playing Florabelle, the singer with “mike-fright” in the auditions scene.

5 Stars Be optimistic and smile! Oh, how Shirley could sing and dance without even trying…
Shirley Temple earned great fame as a child actress in Hollywood; and this movie shows us why. Shirley Temple sings and dances her way through many numbers, including “An Old Straw Hat” and an olio of her classic melodies including “Animal Crackers In My Soup” and “On The Good Ship Lollipop.” Temple shines like no other child star ever did; and we will have to wait a very long time to see another quite like her.

Rebecca Of Sunnybrook Farm stars Temple as a young child named Rebecca Winstead who has incredible talents; she even wins a radio gig as “Little Miss America” just based on her being herself when she sings. Of course, even a musical needs something of a plot; therefore there’s a misunderstanding and Shirley and her stepfather (William Demarest) go away thinking they lost the talent contest. Her stepfather takes her to Sunnybrook Farm which is run by her crusty old aunt Miranda (Helen Westley). Miranda agrees to take care of Rebecca on the condition that the stepfather never returns. Fortunately, though, instead of being sad about her very different new environment, Rebecca is an upbeat, optimistic kid who takes to the farm rather well.

Things begin to snowball much faster when it turns out that just by pure coincidence (oh, sure) the man who ran the talent contest lives just next door to her Aunt Miranda’s home. At this point in the film many questions arise: Will he finally recognize that Shirley is the girl who won the talent contest? Even if Shirley is recognized, will her Aunt Miranda let them put her on the radio? And what happens when her stepfather ultimately hears of all this fuss going on? No spoilers here, folks; you’ll have to watch the movie to find out! There are some funny moments using slapstick, too.

The DVD offers us the motion picture in both black and white as well as color. This movie was originally filmed in black and white and then colorized. The DVD lacks extras except for some clips from Heidi and Little Miss Broadway.

The cinematography shines with the characters being filmed very artistically within the confines of the screen and the choreography of the dance numbers is terrific. The finale, “The Parade of the Wooden Soldiers,” showcases Shirley Temple and Bill Robinson dancing wonderfully and this will thrill you!

Overall, I highly recommend this for Shirley Temple fans; and people who want to watch classic movies with their children will enjoy this film, too.

Enjoy! Great job, everyone!!!

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Awesome
I have seen this film/video once on HBO or SHOWTIME, and it blew my mind. I’m European but I’ve never seen such an awesome party w/ such a great musician as Fatboy Slim.

All I have to say Europe knows how to party, everything was under control, and people were enjoying themselves to its fullest.

I’m def getting this DVD, I’m happy Amazon carries such Dvd’s.

I also think its a great DVD for any Summer parties at your HOuse or, you put it into the Dvd, awesome music is playing, for those that like to sit around and watch, can do that also.

100% Recommend it.

And now my desire is to go to Ibiza, cause that’s how they party in Ibiza.

:-)))

5 Stars Good entertainment.
Although I dont think Fatboy slim is that great of a dj. This is an excellent DVD to throw on for parties.

5 Stars This was a WOW party to say the least. One to go down in history.
Ok I saw this today at my best friends house and it was off the hook! Norman Cook is such a likable guy. He was like a kid in a candy store up their playing for 1000’s dancing and having a great time. The guy that gave the negative review and said people didn’t seem like they were having a good time must was looking at the cup half empty here because this video is like 2 hours of people smiling, yelling, and dancing their butts off, having an awesome time, and what the electronic dance music culture is all about! If you have ever had a “magical” night somewhere dancing to great music then this is one to add to the collection. If you have wondered what a real electronic dance party is all about watch this. Over 250,000 people enjoying themselves to the talented and happy Norman Cook, on a beach, and people on boats dancing too. I wish I was there! When you watch it though, its kind of like you are : )

5 Stars Couldn’t stop dancing…
response to Brian -

Wow, you must be talking about ANOTHER DVD… one that doesn’t rock your f*cking socks off… on your planet, when people are happy, what do THEY do? It can’t be smiling and dancing and waving their arms and jumping up and down like freakin’ pogo sticks, ’cause that wouldn’t make sense at all.

This is one of the best live concerts I’ve seen of any genre of music… every camera shot of the audience contains someone having the time of their lives… even if they don’t fully realize it. :) maybe go relax a little and watch again. You never know.

5 Stars The Best DJ movie ever made!
Why is this the best DJ movie ever made? Because, it captures exactly what its like to be a part of the Dance Music scene. No, not everyone will like it. Either you “get” dance music or you don’t. Electronic music is not slow, static or stationary, its created to get people moving, energized… dancing! So, if you plan on sitting on the couch eating twinkies and cereal you may find yourself slightly annoyed. “Why is everyone ejoying themselves and I’m not?”, you may ask. Well, turn the volume up, have a red bull and enjoy the music. Fatboy Slim begs for you to be a part of the party. No other movie in this genre has yet to achieve what Live on Brighton Beach accomplishes.

White Line Fever

White Line Fever




Brand New from Truckerflicks, finally this cult classic film is brought to DVD!!
SYNOPSIS:
Carrol Jo Hummer returns home from the Air Force and starts working as a trucker like his father before him. Trouble starts when a bunch of racketeers try to pressure Carrol to use his rig for smuggling contraband. When Hummer refuses, he is beaten up and blacklisted. So, together with other honest truckers, Carrol organizes a protest movement that leads to a massive strike.
But now Carrol, his pregnant wife and his friends become moving targets for the scheming mobsters.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars “I’m Carroll Joe Hummer and I’m looking for work.”
Take a slighty younger Brad Pitt, go back over thirty years and you have Jan-Michael Vincent. With the disintergration of his career — and his life — since the last decade or so, it is often hard remember just how popular this guy was and this is probably his best remembered film. Kind of the “On the Waterfront” for independent truckers. A cast that includes Kay Lenz (whatever happened to her anyway?), Slim Pickens and a young — pre- CAGNEY & LACEY — Martin Kove. Presented in full frame with no extras, this appears to be from the Far East. Still, enjoyable fluff.

5 Stars B movie classic trucker 70’s fun!
I love this movie! I saw it when it was released as a kid, back in 1975. I am at the age where my childhood, and everything that I liked back then is new again. I am glad I was able to obtain this movie. It was reasonably priced, too. Slim Pickens, Kay Lenz, and Jan Michael Vincent in their prime! The bad guy from the karate kid plays a dock-worker,Jan Michael Vincent plays Carol Jo Hummer, an independant trucker who just got out of the military, gets married, and goes to the bank to get financing for his purchase. Classic big rigs, as he walks across the sales lot and the salesman describes the truck he will buy with some technical specs. It starts out upbeat and happy, a bright future ahead for this independant trucker! It is when he goes to get work that he finds out he must break the law, and haul slot machines and cigarettes! It all goes down hill from there. A truly great movie, packed with things “they can’t do these days” and more. I am also going to purchase the VHS, to compare any differences.

5 Stars White Line Fever.
If you like good guys winning and trucker movies you’ll love this B movie classic.
