About the giveaway:

A very touching story of life in Brazil under the regime of dictatorship in 1970 during the World Cup of soccer when Pele’ took Brazil to third in a row championship, never before achieved. We meet Mauro, a 12-year old boy, whose parents go “on vacation” during the military regime and the World Cup. He finds himself in a diverse culture fending for himself at times. An endearing story with subtitles that you forget about as the film unfolds a classic coming-of-age story.

Post number 40, Linda, is the winner. Congratulations!!!

I loved all your messages about winning Veggie Tales for your grandkids, kids, nieces and nephews. I wish everyone could have won.

Veggie Tales DVDs are all very special and perfect for kids of all ages.

Keep checking back at Screenhead because I will have more kid stuff to giveaway!!!

This is what Linda won:

Tomato Sawyer and Huckleberry Larry’s life on the lazy river takes a turn for adventure when they help a stranger in need. With unexpected twists around every bend, they discover that while helping others may not be the easiest thing to do, it’s always the right thing to do!

 
My seven year old daughter enjoyed the story. She owns a couple of other Veggie Tales DVDs, so she knew what to expect. She watched Big River Rescue from beginning to the end and told me that (plot spoiler) Jim is allergic to turkey jerky and he didn’t steal the turkey jerky. All in all, she had fun watching Veggie Tales.  She even told me her favorite part in the movie was the silly song — The Biscuit of Zazzamarandabo.

If you ever wanted to understand politics in the United Kingdom, The Deal is a great education of how the Parliament works.  Michael Sheen and David Morrissey take on the roles of Tony Blair and Gordon Brown.

Although the movie feels dry at times, it is, perhaps, the director’s way of creating the mood of government.

To enter the giveaway of The Deal, post your name and I will draw the winner Thursday, July 24th.  Good luck! 

Here is what the winner receives:

 

Synopsis

Tony Blair and Gordon Brown shared a tiny windowless office in the House of Commons in 1983, and a friendship grew out of similar political philosophies and ambitions.  When the Labour Party suddenly needed a new leader they were the front-runners, and one of them had to stand aside.  The two friends were faced with making a life altering decision, almost exclusively determining the future of British politics.

 

Special Features

  • A Conversation with Stephen Frears
  • Audio Commentary with Writer Peter Morgan
