Jane Fonda’s New Workout
Jane Fonda’s New Workout
Customer Review: Still the best work out ever!!
In the late eighties I was an aerobics fanatic. I tried so many different videos it was ridculous. This Jane Fonda work out was the absolute best. I used it for years. I thought it was thorough, covered all the body parts and the results were an overall slimming of the entire body without bulking up any part of my body. During my jogging phase, I noticed that my legs got bulky, which I didn’t like. This work out starts with warms ups, aerobics that are intense, floor work to stretch and strengthen legs, tummy and everything else and a good cool down that you are very grateful for. I always felt really good after these workouts and very proud of myself. I am now rededicating myself to a daily workout schedule and the first thing that came to mind was this video. I will start with the beginners version and work myself up to the advanced. It is so good it’s almost ridiculous!!
Customer Review: Most Amazing Workout EVER
About 5 years ago, I first lost 40 lbs with this video ! It’s so easy to do, and it isn’t completely straining. I never even moved onto the Advanced stage b/c it was so hard for me, but the weight peeled off all the same. I am praying that this workout tape will be converted to DVD so that I can enjoy it for years to come!

Customer Review: The Farmer Says: Poo Poo
Man . . way to ruin a classic! Toys are made so crappy now. This use to be a cool toy. .They make it way el cheapo now. Save yr money. Mr. Potato Head is still good, magnadoodle is good, some toy pianos are still good, . . . we are buying alot of natural wooden toys (i.e. wood blocks, giant puzzles, we even found the classic corn popper push toy in wood, real instruments that are kid friendly, etc. ). . . not this 10 cent plastic waste of time type of stuff anymore. Work too hard for the money. damn. you can buy sterling silver action figures for these prices! ! ! you could almost buy your own damn REAL farm. ha ha
Customer Review: Satisfied
It’s much smaller than I expected, which makes it less interesting for my baby…the animals are too small for him to really see well. The sounds are mostly great…except that the sound of the rabbit is a “boing” for hopping, which isn’t really consistent with what sounds the animals “make.” The other oddity is the “owl” which isn’t an owl, but a “barn owl.” Seems a little complicated. Anyway, still it’s a fun and safe toy for us to play with together.
Welcome to the Dollhouse 
What is junior high school but a strange, disorienting pastiche of black comedy, tragedy, soap opera, and (most of all) horror movie? Well, that pretty much describes Todd Solondz’s astonishingly honest and clear-sighted film, Welcome to the Dollhouse. Like Solondz’s even more controversial follow-up–the acclaimed and despised Happiness (1998)–Dollhouse unflinchingly looks deep into its characters’ souls (and their embarrassing desires, and their floundering sexuality) in ways that can be simultaneously disturbing and liberating, appalling and hilarious. Dawn Wiener (Heather Matarazzo) is a hapless seventh-grade geek whose cruel and contemptuous schoolmates have nicknamed her (what else?) “Wiener Dog.” Everything about Dawn is so awkward–the way she looks, talks, moves–that it’s no wonder other kids dump on her. They’re most likely so insecure about themselves that they’re terrified of the Wiener Dog they know lurks somewhere down inside themselves, too. So, the best social and psychological survival tactic is to distance themselves from Dawn by relentlessly reminding her of her “place” at the bottom of the junior-high pecking order. Solondz’s vision is hardly sentimental, and you wouldn’t even call it “compassionate,” but it is a moral vision: authentic, undiluted, and, in the end, understanding. –Jim Emerson
Customer Review: A bit depressing to be a fun Dollhouse
Todd Solondz does it again and for a reason. We’re introduce to Dawn Wiener (Heather Matarazzo), an awkward seventh grader who is put down by her peers because of her physical appearance. The taunting Dawn endures is extreme and does not come across as even slightly reminiscent of anything that happened in my high school, but this fact does not take away from the empathy we feel for her as she struggles through her daily life. As if school weren’t bad enough, Dawn’s home life doesn’t leave much to be desired. Her older brother Mark (Matthew Faber), is the “king of the geeks”. Her parents offer no support either. Dawn’s other sibling, Missy (Daria Kalinina), is the darling of the family who can do no wrong. She simply flits around the house in her pink tu-tu and makes Dawn’s life look hellish by comparison. Dawn’s life is further complicated by Brandon McCarthy (Brendan Sexton Jr.), the misunderstood juvenile who has taken a liking to her. At the beginning of their “relationship” he tells her he will rape her. This does not happen because of various circumstances, but Dawn ends up falling for this tough guy and eventually losing him when he runs away. Throughout the movie, it appears as if everyone in her life pours their derision upon anything she does, exposing all her weaknesses however carefully they might be hidden. Dawn, in turn, passes this on to the few people that she gets close to. This was not a realistic depiction of the hells of junior high school. For one thing, girls would pick on other girls, but in no way, whatsoever, would any of them force another to sit on the crapper in front of another as a forms of bullying. These are 11-12 year olds? Uh uh. Maybe 4 years older that would happen, but no one at that age would succumb to a type of humiliation that gross and tasteless. Our lead character is played brilliantly, and shows her determination in the face of endless adversity - in fact, the acting all around is excellent. But the movie denies the moments of redemption. Such a strong young warrior as Dawn would certainly have had some triumphs to share. While the movie is slow at times, it does pull on your heart string, and is definitely worth watching.
Customer Review: Welcome to the Dollhouse
A harrowingly accurate, darkly hilarious look at that time of life most of us would prefer to forget, Solondz’s portrait of gawky pre-adolescence visits all the landmarks of childhood hell: peer abuse, sexual awkwardness, and the general sense that people are the source of all misery. Matarazzo is fantastic as the ostracized, alienated tween who suffers the insults and indignities of her peers with stoic resignation. Sexton (”Kids”) also registers well as Dawn’s cruel, glowering classmate. “Dollhouse” isn’t for younger kids, but teens and grown-ups will appreciate its bitingly funny blend of pathos and punishment.
