The Classic U.S. Combat Aircraft of WWII: P-51 Mustang

Product Description
The Classic U.S. Combat Aircraft of WWII programs tell the story, through a series of classic war planes, of the development of the combat aircraft of the Second World War. Each machine was produced to meet a specific requirement, usually to meet or beat the capabilities of an existing enemy or a potential aggressor. Serving throughout all the different theaters of war as the long-range component for the bomber escort missions, the P-51 Mustang became arguably the finest single-engined fighter aircraft series of WWII.

Product Description
GREATEST CLASSIC FILMS COLLECTION ~ ALFRED HITCHCOCK THRILLERS Suspicion • Strangers on a Train • I Confess • The Wrong Man Amazon.com
Repeated viewings can’t dispel the shock of the final scene in this classic 1941 romantic mystery–a brief but disorienting confrontation that suddenly inverts the heroine’s mounting conviction that she’s married a murderer, forcing us to reconsider virtually every scene and line of dialogue that’s preceded it. It’s a masterful coup de grace for director Alfred Hitchcock, who has built a puzzle around the corrosive power of suspicion, threaded with deft ambiguities that toy with dramatic conventions and character archetypes in nearly every frame.

As embodied by Joan Fontaine, who nabbed an Oscar in this second outing with the director, Lina McLaidlaw is a buttoned-up, bookish heiress whose prim exterior conceals longings for a more engaged emotional life. Her solution materializes in the darkly handsome Johnnie Aysgarth, a gambler, womanizer, and spendthrift who flirts, then pursues, and soon marries her. As Aysgarth, Cary Grant is both irresistible and sinister, capable of deceit and petty theft, as well as grander designs on his bride’s impending fortune. Lina’s passion for Johnnie is clouded by each new revelation about his apparent dishonesty, from clandestine gambling to real estate development schemes; more troubling are clues implicating him in the death of his best friend, and the prospect that Johnnie may be slowly poisoning Lina herself. By the time we see him ascending a darkened staircase with a suspicious glass of milk, an image made all the more indelible through the spectral glow the director captures in the glass, the evidence seems damning indeed.

In fact, even as Hitchcock stacks the deck against Johnnie, and takes full advantage of Grant’s skill at conveying such menace, the director also dots his landscape with visual clues to Lina’s own neurotic (and erotic) obsessions. The final scene forces us to reevaluate her behavior while leaving enough of a cloud over Johnnie to rob him, and us, of a complete exoneration. It’s a wicked, unsettling payoff to a brilliantly executed thriller. –Sam Sutherland

Hell’s Bells: The Dangers of Rock n Roll – Original Classic

  • Encoding: Region Free
  • Format: DVD-R
  • Written and Narrated: Eric Holmberg
  • Rated: Unrated (Parental guidance is advised)
  • Run Time: 180 minutes

Product Description
Over the years, Reel to Real Ministries received numerous requests and pleas from people, asking them to re-release the classic Hell’s Bells 1 on DVD. This 1989 best-seller not only launched R2R s worldwide ministry; it was used by God to bring tens of thousand of people around the world to Christ. For a few years, they always turned the requests down, pointing people to the sequel, Hell’s Bells 2: The Power and Spirit of Popular Music, as a more contemporary and relevant treatment of the issue. But whether out of fondness for the presentation that meant so much to their lives or because it may be seen as being more relevant to the boomers who grew up on that era’s music (60s – 80s), the requests just kept coming in. (Some people have also said that its slower, less frenetic style, made it a bit easier for the message to sink in.) So in 2006, the original Hell’s Bells (Classic) was released in a two DVD set. This is the real thing, uncut, digitally re-mastered and looking and sounding better than when it was released eighteen years ago.

This three-hour presentation is divided into 5 stand-alone sections:

Part 1: The Dangers of Rock n’ Roll: An overview of the problem and the biblical worldview that will be used in its analysis.

Part 2: The Root of Rock: From whence did this new musical form spring…and gets its power?

Part 3: The Fruit of Rock, Part 1: Looking at the fruit of something, Jesus said, can tell you a lot about a phenomenon’s origins and ultimate destiny.

Part 4: The Fruit of Rock, Part 2: It really is more than just sex, drugs and rock n’ roll.

Part 5: The Axe Falls: Where sin abounds, grace abounds all the more. The cross reveals the true Rock – the One that will never be rolled away.
