Fred Astaire took one of his final musical turns in this delightful 1957 comedy, a cold war update of the classic Ninotchka. Cyd Charisse, having previously wrapped her endless legs around Fred in The Band Wagon, plays the Greta Garbo role: a humorless Soviet functionary who sternly refuses the allure of Paris
for a while, anyway. Like some of the first widescreen musicals, Silk Stockings feels a little slowed down by the horizontal format, but nothing can dim the sparkle of Astaire and Charisse, nor quench the razzmatazz of Janis Paige. Paige and Astaire assess the current state of movies by singing that films today need "glorious Technicolor, breathtaking CinemaScope, and Stereophonic sound!" In the hands of Cole Porter, that phrase becomes wonderfully musical--and by the way, it's nice to see the composer identified with so many breezy 1930s songs staying au courant in the age of Sputnik and television. --Robert Horton |

ESPN Sportscenter Anchor John Buccigross:
"Best and Purest Hockey Movie Ever."
St. Paul Pioneer Press' Bruce Brothers: "Required viewing for every kid who plans to lace 'em up." Daily Planet's Jim Brunzell: "A must-see for any hockey fan." POND HOCKEY is the story of the world of outdoor hockey, dropping in on backyard rinks and frozen ponds in search of the roots of hockey and the true meaning of the game. The feature-length documentary chronicles the shared story of rink rats and their heroes including Patrick Kane, Krissy Wendell, Lou Nanne, Wayne Gretzky, Neal Broten and many others. Crosscut with these interviews is the on-ice action of the first-ever U.S. Pond Hockey Championships, a tournament created to recapture the purity and youthful spirit native to the pond, as two teams strive to win the Golden Shovel trophy on the gritty outdoor ice of Lake Calhoun. From the small town of Roseau in the northernmost tip of Minnesota, to the US Hockey Hall of Fame, from Boston University's Agganis Arena, to the historic Michigan Theater in Ann Arbor, Michigan, theatergoers love POND HOCKEY! And now it's available to you too, on DVD. DVD bonus features included extended interviews with hockey stars and director commentary. |
The Cole Porter Collection provides an overview of the swellegant songwriter's witty lyrics and well-known melodies through five MGM musicals. The black-and-white Broadway Melody of 1940 features the brilliant dancing of Fred Astaire (in his MGM debut) and Eleanor Powell (in her fourth Broadway Melody picture). By the 1950s, we recognize the splashy colors that would become MGM's distinctive style in four pictures inspired by familiar sources. Kiss Me Kate (1953) is the adaptation of the Broadway musical, starring Howard Keel and Kathryn Grayson as the couple whose offstage feud mirrors their roles in Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew. The best of the batch, High Society (1956), stars Bing Crosby, Grace Kelly, and Frank Sinatra in a musical update of The Philadelphia Story, while the 1957 films Les Girls (with Gene Kelly, Kay Kendall, Tania Elg, and Mitzi Gaynor) and Silk Stockings (with Astaire and Cyd Charisse) retell Rashomon and Ninotchka, respectively. Favorite songs in the set include "Begin the Beguine," "I Concentrate on You," "Wunderbar," "So in Love," "Brush Up Your Shakespeare," "Well, Did You Evah?", "You're Sensational," and "All of You." The films boast sharp transfers, making-of segments hosted by legends such as Cyd Charisse and Ann Miller, vintage shorts and cartoons, and Dolby Digital 5.1 sound (except Broadway Melody, which is in satisfactory mono). --David Horiuchi |

Overview: Acoustibuds is a novel earpiece fitting for earphones sold with iPods, iPhones and most MP3 players. Acoustibuds revitalizes these earphones to provide unparalleled retention, comfort, enriched acoustics and sound isolation.
Stays in better: Acoustibuds use closely spaced flexible fins to stay in the ear more securely. The series of tall, soft and conformable fins flex in a manner that easily fit and retain to the ear. Even with perspiration and extreme physical activity, these fins continue to hold the earphone securely in place due to their unique profile and spacing.
Sounds better: Superior sound isolation is also created with the fins. The seal they provide helps to eliminate air gaps and create a multitude of sound barriers that both block out unwanted noise from outside and keep audio from escaping from the inside. Volume and bass frequencies are amplified allowing operation of your MP3 at a lower volume setting. Inside, the Twin Cone Core better channels the sound wave in your ear. The twin cone core guides the sound wave like a miniature acoustic horn to minimize sound impedance to provide enriched middle and upper range frequencies.
The fit of the earphone to your ear and how the sound wave is channeled inside your ear are fundamental to acoustic quality. Both the fins and the twin cone core features are firsts for earphones and are unique to Acoustibuds audio technology.
Feels better: Acoustibuds are formed from very soft hypoallergenic silicone rubber. This material, the fin geometry and the earpiece structure help to conform to the shape of the ear and provide increased comfort. |

From the garage rock gods who brought the world ''Super Rock,'' Stocking Stuffer is the Christmas album for music fans who hate run-of-the mill Christmas music. The Fleshtones just want to rock and they re not about to let peace on earth or good will toward men get in the way. ''Hooray for Santa Claus'' opens the disc with a speaker busting ode to the guy in the big red suit and ''Champagne of Christmas'' looks back to The Fleshtones classic R&B roots while extolling the virtues of more than a little yuletide bubbly. Stocking Stuffer is festive enough to get you in the holiday mood but rocks hard enough to keep the eggnog flowing through mistletoe make-out sessions and drunken sing-a-longs. If Santa is cool enough to leave this little gem in your stocking, this year you ll actually look forward to Christmas music! |
