    Hi Bunki,
      Thank you so much for previewing the flicks and rating them for us. Having
    been stuck more than a few times buying (my own $) some videos I'll never
    show, this is a huge help. Here's my personal list of not to buy: SEURAT,
    from Crystal Video--very boring, very long, --but they wake up for the nude
    model scene. Two movies on DaVinci--one
    from Crystal and the other A&E. The first, VISIONARY INTELLECT, is
    boring--with terrible sound quality. Couldn't make out a word. The A&E bio
    was better, but do seventh graders need to know Leo was a pedophile? That's
    more than I wanted to know! Sister Wendy's STORY OF PAINTING- as she speaks
    of Adam's "magnificence", the camera pans down and focuses on it--in all its
    upstanding glory. Plus, I know they'd be hysterical over her speech and
    overbite. Sorry to be cruel, but it IS distracting. (Guess I spend too much
    time with 11-14 year olds.) There are others. The one on Escher from Crystal
    has some great art, but way too much talk. I fast forward through much of
    it. I wish I had saved my money. Our librarian is wonderful about
    ordering art films for preview, and the school is building its collection.
    I have to agree about MASTERS OF ILLUSION. It is great.
    Later,
    Judy Disalvo Stenger
