The Voyage of Charles Darwin (1978)
release this on DVD or VHS please!!!
I think the reviewer below is right in saying that it is the Christian bible thumper who are blocking the release of this well made and well acted mini series. I think PBS (channel 17 in western new york and southern Ontario) should be absolutely ashamed of themselves for not re broadcasting this fine show. When they broadcast this again is when i will contribute money. However, why should I contribute if they will will not air a diverse set of programs. There are more than just Christians out there. I cant believe any religious group can be this selfish as to make everyone suffer just so they can be happy in their ideology. I would like anyone who would like to see this released to petition the Criterion Collection website and get this title released. Go to the site below and click on the little title suggestion circle and suggest this title. Criterion releases 5 disc sets of Fanny and Alexander. Voyage of Charles Darwin could fit on 4 discs. Thankfully I have this mini series on tape. However it is a horrible copy and I would like a nice new spiffy one. NOTE: There is no space between the words criterion and collection. the preview screen made me put it there. NOTE: There is an underscore between ask and form. again the preview screen made me take it out.

Winnie (1988)
A movie about a retarded woman trying to live a normal life
**SPOILERS** This movie is excellent! I really wish it was being distributed on video. There are some scenes from this movie that today still resonate in my mind. Like the scene were Winnie is in the childrens section at the library and two girls start chuckling and giggling at her. At first she does not know what is going on but she soon figures it out. Winnie jumps up and screams "I am a human being! I am not some speck. I have feelings too." The scene ends when a librarian comes in and Winnie leaves crying. In another scene Winnie is walking along a road and a man stops and askes if she would like a ride. Winnie has not been taught any better so she accepts. The man drives her to the end of a road and tries to rape her. She defends herself and as a result is thrown out of the car. The man drives away and Winnie realizes he has her money and library card. She runs after the car screaming that this man still has some of her things but he leaves her stranded. I really hope people see this movie and i also hope it is put out onto video very soon. The acting is great and so is the story about a woman who made her disability an asset and did not think of it as a liability. P.S. Please excuse spelling errors. * * * * * (5 out of 5)
