If These Walls Could Talk 2

Amazon.com

HBO caused a stir when it aired If These Walls Could Talk, a portrait of three women from three generations (all who occupied the same house at various times) who had unwanted pregnancies. HBO utilizes the same gimmick in the sequel, this time telling the story of women who love women.

The three stories of If These Walls Could Talk 2 are uneven. Far and away the most powerful and moving story is the first, taking place in 1961, starring Vanessa Redgrave as a woman "widowed" when her partner of 50 years suddenly dies. Redgrave is phenomenal, and her piece alone makes this sequel worth watching. The 1972 portion stars Michelle Williams, who finds dealing with the sexual politics of the gay community increasingly more complex when she falls in love with a boyish woman (played by Chloë Sevigny). The most modern piece, taking place in 2000, portrays a contemporary lesbian couple (Sharon Stone and Ellen DeGeneres) determined to have a baby. The light nature of the story detracts from the more serious issues of the earlier segments. Despite the mixed fare, HBO once again proves itself on the cutting edge of moviemaking, with this rather daring film that will both provoke and entertain. --Jenny Brown

GREAT.......2007-09-09

the story with Ellen and Sharon Stone is very funny and sexy. A good watch

Wonderful,...Vanessa Out Does Herself.......2007-08-12

I had seen this before, the first time it aired, and it was then, and still is great and prominent(sp) stories, of courls told at different times, but the same house as in 'If These Walls Could Talk 1'. This turn was, as a lot of people already know, it's about the gay lifestyle at different generations. Venessa Redgrave was the first story up, and I didn't think that woman could outdo herself, but she did. I think she got a golden globe and an emmy for her perfomance, it is stunning. The other stories are good as well, and besides Ellen Degeneres and Sharon Stone as lovers trying to get pregnant was fun to watch. There is another segment with Chloe from Big Love, and a gal name Michelle (I think) who played the wife of Heath Ledger in Brokeback Moutain. They are such big stars now,.....but personally I always though Chloe from Big Love was going to be sensational,....that girl can do anything.......Ellen, now who doesn't love Ellen?

Excellent.......2007-03-16

I love this film- it hits on numerous isssues without being too preachy. At different points, the film is funny, cute, serious, hot, and numerous other things. It's a classic.

HBO Rocks Part 2.......2007-01-14

This was an HBO original movie broadcast in 2000. This movie follows three lesbian stories in three different time periods. Vanessa Redgrave stars as a lesbian widow in 1961. Chloe Sevigny and Michelle Williams star as feminists in 1971. Sharon Stone and Ellen DeGeneres star as a modern day lesbian couple trying to have a baby. I found the story of Vanessa Redgrave to be the most touching. It speaks to the need for legal rights for same sex couples and a need for understanding.

Excellent.......2006-11-23

A beautiful, touching movie. Well directed and acted. The first story with Vanessa Redgrave is very touching. All three stories have a completely different view of lesbians and are very good. The third story with Ellen & Sharon is very humorous. With stars like Vanessa, Ellen & Sharon, how can this be anything but a very worthwhile film and well acted.

Doggone fantastic!.......2007-03-09

This is a great video series for children who are also interested in reading or who would like to explore books suggested by Wishbone. A fantastic gift also.

Wishbone - Paw Prints of Thieves.......2007-01-20

Wishbone is a jack russell who imagines himself as characters in different works of literature. In this story, he imagines himself as Robin Hood. This is a great series for children, because it teaches them about literature. It is also a great series for anyone who loves animals. This is one of my favorites, and I definitely think it's worth buying.

Fans of the PBS Wishbone series will recognize this this as Wishbone's Story of Robin Hood. It's great. I was hoping that Hiteentertainment.com was going to release more of Wishbone but I guess not. For Wishbone fans it's a must-have.

Reminisicing.......2007-06-22

I remember coming home from Highschool back when Wishbone was still being aired on PBS and watching the episodes every afternoon with my little sister who, at the time, was about 10. She and I are both adults now and we both remember how much we loved watching the series after school. Because I think Wishbone was such a phenomenal show suitable for children of all ages I have been trying to purchase the DVDs for my daughter. I feel that she would enjoy, and benefit, from the love of literature that imaginative little dog has. This is definately something I recommend parents to invest for their children to open them up to the special gift of reading and to expose them to the blessings of great literature this vast planet has been given by talented writers.

Finally, Wishbone on DVD.......2004-07-27

Wishbone is a little Jack Russell terrier with a big imagination. He's the star of a wonderful PBS children's show that helps introduce kids to classic literature. In this episode he imagines himself to be Professor Otto Liedenbrock who leads his nephew on an incredible subterranean journey. I can't say enough about how wonderful the Wishbone TV series is. This little dog has more expression on his furry face than most Hollywood actors do today. The writing and acting is first rate. And of course Wishbone would be the first to tell you about the Emmy Award he received. Check this out, I hope it's the first of the entire 50+ episode series on DVD. It's a fantastic adventure for kids of all ages.

Two new and amazing mega starz from the south emerge but we caught up with them way before they got the multi-million dollar record deal, we were with them when they were rap hustlin' and trappin' in the streets. A couple years before they tour up the stage at the BET and MTV music awards they were dirty south ridin' with Cornbread at the Street Heat Music Awards where they were recognized for artist and label of the Year for Swisha House.
