Sparkle Sparkle

Sale Price: $3.73

Before Dreamgirls hit cineplexes in 2006, there was Sparkle. Released in 1976, the low-budget movie (which is also loosely based on the story of Diana Ross and the Supremes) achieved somewhat of a cult following among fans that enjoy a good cry along with their kitsch. Sparkle tells the rags-to-riches (and rags again, for some of the characters) tale of three sisters with gorgeous voices. There's Sister (Lonette McKee), Sparkle (Irene Cara, Fame), and Delores (Dwan Smith), who team up with a couple of players (including a very young Philip Michael Thomas, pre-Miami Vice) to form a singing group. Because the men add little oomph to the outfit, the quintet becomes an all-girl trio and is renamed the redundant (and hysterical) Sister and the Sisters. But because this movie is called Sparkle and not Sister, we know that Irene Cara's character is the one to watch. Cara is a joy to listen to when she unleashes her powerful pipes. And as the much put-upon Sister, McKee is convincing and earns the viewer's sympathy. Set in the 1950's, the movie tackles racism, sexism, jealousy, and both chemical and physical abuse. While it is overly dramatic and liberally serves up sloppy doses of soap opera clichés, the film also is highly watchable because of its over-the-top campiness. --Jae-Ha Kim

Before "Dreamgirls," this musical drama recalled the rise of a Supremes-like girl group from the Harlem ghetto to superstardom. While the group Sister and The Sisters pursues fame and fortune, their relationships fracture when Sister (Lonette McKee) turns to drugs and Sparkle (Irene Cara) cultivates a relationship with their manager (Philip Michael Thomas). Dwan Smith, Dorian Harewood also star; features a score by Curtis Mayfield. 98 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono.

Les Miserables: The 10th Anniversary Dream Cast in Concert at London's Royal Albert Hall Les Miserables: The 10th Anniversary Dream Cast in Concert at London's Royal Albert Hall
List Price: $34.98
Sale Price: $24.93

The 10th anniversary concert video of the international musical sensation Les Misérables might be the best thing to appease fans until a full-fledged movie comes along. Or it might be even better, as feature films are often subject to extramusical casting considerations and this 1995 dream cast is superb. Reprising their roles from the original London company are Colm Wilkinson (Valjean), Michael Ball (Marius), and Alun Armstrong (Thenardier). From Broadway come Judy Kuhn (Cosette), Lea Salonga (Eponine), and Michael Maguire (Enjolras); from a later London production comes Ruthie Henshall (Fantine); and from Australia comes Philip Quast (Javert). Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg's score vividly captures the passion of Victor Hugo's epic tale of post-Revolutionary France, combining tear-jerking ballads ("I Dreamed a Dream," "Bring Him Home") and rousing anthems ("Do You Hear the People Sing"). The format of this concert is closer to that of a dramatic cantata rather than a fully staged production; the singers stand at their microphone stands with an orchestra and chorus behind them, but they do wear costumes and participate in some movement. At certain points such as the climax of the barricade scene, the video switches to action from a stage production. The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra sounds great, and it can be thrilling when 200 choristers (dressed in logo T-shirts) rise to their feet for a full-company number such as "One Day More." Also, subtitles provide date and scene information and help move the story along. The 147-minute video contains footage not seen when Les Mis was a PBS pledge-drive staple, most notably the encore in which a progression of 17 actors who have played Valjean around the world share "Do You Hear the People Sing?" Each sings a line in his native language, a testament to the enduring power of this show to audiences everywhere. --David Horiuchi DVD features The 2008 two-disc edition presents the concert on a single-sided disc (the original DVD split the concert over two sides) with optional English subtitles. It's also in anamorphic widescreen (1.78:1 aspect ratio) comparied to the original's 1.33 full-screen. The second disc has Stage by Stage: Les Miserables, the hourlong documentary from 1988. Unfortunately the sound is only Dolby Digital 2.0. Early editions of the DVD had an odd omission (compared to the earlier Sony DVD)--the first 10 seconds of Gavroche's "Little People" were missing ("Good evening, dear inspector, lovely evening, my dear...")--that has now been corrected. --David Horiuchi

To mark the 10th anniversary of the award-winning musical, an all-star array of "Les Miz" cast members from productions around the world took the stage at London's Royal Albert Hall, joined by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, to perform the songs in concert. Colm Wilkinson, Judy Kuhn, Philip Quast, Lea Salonga, and Ruthie Henshall head the cast; songs include "I Dreamed a Dream," "One Day More!," "On My Own" and a special encore of "Do You Hear the People Sing?," performed by 17 Jean Valjeans in their native languages. 148 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital stereo; "making of" documentary; interviews. Two-disc set.

The MatrixBy following up their debut thriller Bound with the 1999 box-office smash The Matrix, the codirecting Wachowski brothers--Andy and Larry--annihilated any suggestion of a sophomore jinx, crafting one of the most exhilarating sci-fi/action movies of the 1990s. Set in the not too distant future in an insipid, characterless city, we find a young man named Neo (Keanu Reeves). A software techie by day and a computer hacker by night, he sits alone at home by his monitor, waiting for a sign, a signal--from what or whom he doesn't know--until one night, a mysterious woman named Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) seeks him out and introduces him to that faceless character he has been waiting for: Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne). A messiah of sorts, Morpheus presents Neo with the truth about his world by shedding light on the dark secrets that have troubled him for so long: "You've felt it your entire life, that there's something wrong with the world. You don't know what it is, but it's there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad." Ultimately, Morpheus illustrates to Neo what the Matrix is--a reality beyond reality that controls all of their lives, in a way that Neo can barely comprehend. Neo thus embarks on an adventure that is both terrifying and enthralling. Pitted against an enemy that transcends human concepts of evil, Morpheus and his team must train Neo to believe that he is the chosen champion of their fight. With mind-boggling, technically innovative special effects and a thought-provoking script that owes a debt of inspiration to the legacy of cyberpunk fiction, this is much more than an out-and-out action yarn; it's a thinking man's journey into the realm of futuristic fantasy, a dreamscape full of eye candy that will satisfy sci-fi, kung fu, action, and adventure fans alike. Although the film is headlined by Reeves and Fishburne--who both turn in fine performances--much of the fun and excitement should be attributed to Moss, who flawlessly mixes vulnerability with immense strength, making other contemporary female heroines look timid by comparison. And if we were going to cast a vote for most dastardly movie villain of 1999, it would have to go to Hugo Weaving, who plays the feckless, semipsychotic Agent Smith with panache and edginess. As the film's box-office profits soared, the Wachowski brothers announced that The Matrix is merely the first chapter in a cinematically dazzling franchise--a chapter that is arguably superior to the other sci-fi smash of 1999 (you know... the one starring Jar Jar Binks). --Jeremy Storey The Matrix ReloadedConsidering the lofty expectations that preceded it, The Matrix Reloaded triumphs where most sequels fail. It would be impossible to match the fresh audacity that made The Matrix a global phenomenon in 1999, but in continuing the exploits of rebellious Neo (Keanu Reeves), Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne), and Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) as they struggle to save the human sanctuary of Zion from invading machines, the codirecting Wachowski brothers have their priorities well in order. They offer the obligatory bigger and better highlights (including the impressive "Burly Brawl" and freeway chase sequences) while remaining focused on cleverly plotting the middle of a brain-teasing trilogy that ends with The Matrix Revolutions. The metaphysical underpinnings can be dismissed or scrutinized, and choosing the latter course (this is, after all, an epic about choice and free will) leads to astonishing repercussions that made Reloaded an explosive hit with critics and hardcore fans alike. As the centerpiece of a multimedia franchise, this dynamic sequel ends with a cliffhanger that virtually guarantees a mind-blowing conclusion. --Jeff Shannon The Matrix RevolutionsDespite the inevitable law of diminishing returns, The Matrix Revolutions is quite satisfying as an adrenalized action epic, marking yet another milestone in the exponential evolution of computer-generated special effects. That may not be enough to satisfy hardcore Matrix fans who turned the Wachowski Brothers' hacker mythology into a quasi-religious pop-cultural phenomenon, but there's no denying that the trilogy goes out with a cosmic bang instead of the whimper that many expected. Picking up precisely where The Matrix Reloaded left off, this 130-minute finale finds Neo (Keanu Reeves) at a virtual junction, defending the besieged human enclave of Zion by confronting the attacking machines on their home turf, while humans combat swarms of tentacled mechanical sentinels as Zion's fate lies in the balance. It all amounts to a blaze of CGI glory, devoid of all but the shallowest emotions, and so full of metaphysical hokum that the trilogy's detractors can gloat with I-told-you-so sarcasm. And yet, Revolutions still succeeds as a slick, exciting hybrid of cinema and video game, operating by its own internal logic with enough forward momentum to make the whole trilogy seem like a thrilling, magnificent dream. -- Jeff Shannon

Energy Credits New Home Builders Must Know About

An energy credit is a tax credit - a payment made on the taxes you owe. A tax credit offers you a larger impact on your tax liability than a deduction because it is deducted from the tax money that is owed as opposed to deducting the money from the total liability. Home builders across the United States are eligible for a $2,000 tax credit per sold home. These credits will be doled out using the guidelines set up by the Department of Energy's Energy Star standards for builders that can meet the standards.

Site Built Homes

New homes have to be energy efficient homes that exceed the Energy Star standards set by the new Department of Energy for energy efficiency. The Energy Star standards are a set of guidelines that were implemented in 2004 as part of an incentive to reduce energy consumption. Site built homes are eligible to receive the credit as are manufactured homes (see below). For homes that are site built they must be built in the United States and have energy efficiency ratings of at least 50% over the guidelines that are set forth in the 2004 Energy Star Regulations. Only homes that have been built after 2005 are eligible for the tax credit. At least one fifth of the energy savings must be derived from the area of the home that is heated/cooled. The homes must pass using Department of Energy software and also have to be inspected by an independent third party inspector certified by the DOE. The home has to be ready for occupancy by December 31 of the year construction began.

Manufactured Homes

Manufactured homes that are built have to have an energy efficiency rating of at least 30% over the 2004 Energy Star guidelines; the available tax credit for manufactured homes is $1000 per home. The Manufactured homes have to have been manufactured after 2005 and be certified using the same Department of Energy Software and third party inspection is also required by a certified DOE inspector as site built homes. The manufactured home has to be delivered and setup and ready for occupancy no later than December 31 of the year it was manufactured.

How Can a Home Qualify?

To qualify a building for the credit certain materials can be used. Energy efficient windows, well constructed foundations, heavily insulated attics, walls, ceilings. Using alternate energy sources can also qualify as long as the rating meets that 50% mark for site built and 30% mark for manufactured. With newer materials available today and newer technology used in building these marks are not that hard to reach.

Other Credits

The tax credit has been extended through 2016. Specific energy credits through the federal government are not available to builders of new homes yet but the credits are available to the home owner. Some states offer energy credits to new home builders for implementing solar and other alternate energy sources in new home construction, an interested party will have to check with the state that they do business in to check out the regulations.

What constellation with four stars can't be seen from Earth but guides sailors home?

I really need help! Please don't waste an answer to say that "I don't know." HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The only thing I can think of is the southern constellation Reticulum, meaning the reticle cross hairs of a telescope that is used (at least back then) for navigation. It has 4 major stars and it is not visible from most of the northern hemisphere, although it is clearly seen in the southern hemisphere.

ADDED: At least 2 of the 4 stars making up Reticulum are right at the edge of visible magnitude - so the constellation nearly falls into the category of "can't be seen from Earth." I am not sure why these particular stars were ever chosen to form a constellation, since they are so dim.
