Enjoy this fun look at Sally Field early in her career. After the cancellation of Gidget Fields was wisely re-cast in the role of Sister Bertrille. Remastered in high definition, The Flying Nun is a classic sitcom from the ‘60s that your whole family will enjoy. All 30 episodes from season one (1967) are included. Sister Bertrille has a really cool hat that has more wing area than a Boeing 727. She flies in and out of trouble on a routine basis and will keep you laughing the whole time. This is not Fields best work, but it is fun to see this phenomenal Oscar winning Actress in her early form. There is not much in the way of extras on this set. There is one interview with Sally Field. The remastered picture looks fantastic and brings out all those fabulous colors for the ‘60s.

Guys, go out bowling or golfing when your spouse wants to watch In Her Shoes. A check flick deluxe, In Her Shoes is the tale of fine party girl Maggie (Cameron Diaz) and her sister, prim and proper lawyer, Rose (Toni Collette). Rose is always getting deadbeat (but Hot!) Maggie out of trouble and finally gets fed up with her and throws her out. Oh, and Rose has more shoes than Imelda Marcos. And God forbid, Maggie has a fetish for her sister’s shoes.

Maggie discovers that she has a long lost grandmother Ella (Shirley MacLaine) in Florida who lives at one of those “retirement home for active seniors”. Wild Maggie moves in with Ella and brings life and exuberance to all the retirees in the retirement home. Maggie also finds her purpose in life and makes up with her sister and every one cries in the end. All kidding aside, this is a wonderfully done film. The acting is done artfully and emotionally. The trio of Diaz, MacLaine, and Collette are perfect for this story. In Her Shoes will have you laughing hysterically and crying in the end. Ladies, gather your girlfriends and fire up the DVD player.

Traffic, like 1999’s Magnolia, is a collection of stories about individuals that are linked together only through circumstance. There are 3 primary stories and many more smaller stories told within them. A Mexican police officer Javier Rodriguez (Benicio Del Toro) and his partner Manolo find themselves in the middle of the war against drugs and corruption within the complicated Mexican police system. An Ohio judge Robert Wakefield (Micheal Douglas) who has recently been appointed to be the nations new drug czar and finally a Californian house wife Helen Ayala (Catherine Zeta Jones) who finds out her husband isn’t in the business she thought he was. Traffic is an important film to watch, it may not be of interest to everyone as it’s not action packed by any means. But for those who love a good story this film delivers. It gives us the message that the war on drugs can never be fully won but a victory at home in our own families is a victory we can achieve. Both the picture and sound quality are tremendous. This special edition two disc set is packed with numerous extras that aren’t to be missed. Get your copy today!
