Saddle Club: Season 1 (2001) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is first of the Saddle Club videos and is excellent for an 8-12 year old girl who loves horses and is interested in the interaction between the girls. As one who was not too involved in reading, the Saddle Club videos have resulted in an interest in the Saddle Club books for the 9 year old and she is happily reading through the series and other books too. The Saddle club videos seem to be wholesome entertainment. Along with the horse riding and horse care, the girls in the videos deal with conflicts and problems and sort them out with kindness. There is usually a selfish girl and they learn how to deal with her. Yet the videos don't come across as instructional or sermonizing, but as very enjoyable.

The Black Stallion (1979) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Growing up, I was a genuine horse-freak, and considered myself a connoisseur of all-things-horse, especially movies. The Black Stallion has always been one of my favorites.
Of course, it doesn't hurt any movie to be executive-produced by Francis Ford Coppola (The Godfather I,II,III). But what really shines through in this film is the stunning cinematography and camera work, and the acting by Cass Ole ("The Black"), Kelly Reno (Alec) and of course, Mickey Rooney, who was nominated for Best Supporting Actor.
This film really captures the mood and feeling of the first "Black Stallion" book. There is virtually no dialogue for a good portion of the film, and it is not missed. The on-screen relationship between Alec and The Black is one that could not be expressed in words under any circumstances.
When I first received this DVD, I put it in to watch it with my father on Christmas night a few years ago. During the island scenes between Alec and The Black, I stifled tears; the scenes - the photography is that stunning.
I was enthralled by this movie as a 13-year-old girl with a passion for horses, and I feel the same way as a 36-year-old.
Buy this DVD for your children, or buy this DVD for you, but buy this DVD. It will quickly become a favorite!
