Buy The River (DVD)

Mae and Tom Garvey (Sissy Spacek and Mel Gibson, respectively) are farmers at a time (the mid-1980s) when bankers, real estate agents, and nature itself threaten to destroy their way of life in THE RIVER, a powerful film about the fragility of the American dream. When the local river floods and nearly destroys the farms around it, hardship hits the area. The Garveys are also at odds with the local power authority and one of its chief officers, Joe Wade (Scott Glenn), who has plans to build a dam and flood the land for a hydroelectric project. Though the family stoically attempts to continue working its farm, massive debts and a poor season finally force Tom Garvey to accept a low-paying factory job as a scab. As they struggle to keep up, Wade hovers vulturelike over the Garvey farm, waiting for its demise. Director Mark Rydell's THE RIVER is a truly beautiful, subtly heartwrenching, and unique film in that it captures the seldom-seen pleasures of living and growing up in an endangered world--that of the family farm. When the Garveys and their children work the land and tend the animals proudly and happily, their sun-drenched farm seems like paradise.DVD Features:Region 1Snap CaseAnamorphic Widescreen - 1.85Audio:Dolby Digital 5.1 - EnglishDolby Digital 2.0 - FrenchAdditional Release Material: Theatrical TrailerText/Photo Galleries: Production Notes

The girl of the title, Kate Brady (Rita Tushingham), is an artless, insecure young woman who lives on the family farm in Dublin. Her life takes an unexpected turn when she falls into a romantic affair with an accomplished, older author (Peter Finch). Lushly photographed, GIRL WITH GREEN EYES is one of many films from Britain in the early 60s that defined a new filmmaking generation through complex characters and the use of harsh realism. Based on the novel THE LONELY GIRL by Edna O'Brien, who also wrote the screenplay. The film is notable for the acclaimed performance of Tushingham in one of her earliest roles.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseAnamorphic Widescreen - 1.66Single Side - Dual LayerAudio: Dolby Digital Mono - EnglishAdditional Release Material: Trailers - 1.

Plane Stick Golf Swing Trainer » Plane Stick Golf Swing Trainer

The Plane Stick is designed to enable a golfer to feel instantaneously what it is like to swing on their correct swing plane. The Plane Stick is the most effective golf training aid on the market because you can actually hit shots with The Plane Stick at full speed without any risk of harming yourself or your club. At the same time it ensures that your takeaway and downswing are on the correct path. The Plane Stick is a telescoping aluminum rod that can be adjusted from 33 to 46 inches, with an adjustable tension controlled knob at its base to allow it to match any lie angle. This allows you practice with any club in your bag regardless of club lie or length. The rod is attached to a solid 1-inch thick cross-shaped polyurethane base, matching the thickness of most driving range mats. This provides the Plane Stick with excellent stability and durability on any surface (grass or cement behind mats). The base is easily folded and inserted into its durable lightweight nylon carry bag for convenient transporting and storage.
What makes the Plane Stick so unique is that at the top of the telescoping rod is a 18-inch foam and nylon sleeve covering a breakaway spring. This enables the golfer to contact the Plane Stick without risk of damage to their body or club, unlike the traditional shaft in the ground. The Plane Stick also has a target line string to ensure simple precise set up every time. It is the training aid that has everything a student needs to ensure quick and easy swing improvements.
