Holiday Switch

Beware what you wish for!
Have you ever thought that your life could have been so much better if only you had taken a different turn at some point?

Paula Ferguson runs into her old boyfriend at Christmas time. He's turned out to be a wealthy art dealer, living a life of luxury. At least that's the way it seems to the hard-working Paula, struggeling with debt, housework and family issues -- just like the rest of us. She makes a wish, and ends up transported into the alternate reality of her dreams. Of course, in the end, Paula would give just about anything to get back to her real world. But, this time, the wishing doesn't work!

Holiday Switch was very cleverly done, and is a step above lots of other Christmas movies about dreams being granted.

History Classics: Ancient Rome

Perennial Influence of Ancient Rome on Western Destiny
History offers its viewers a broad overview of the Ancient Roman society during the Roman Empire. To its credit, History introduces its audience not only to the deeds and words of great men such as Augustus, Nero, and Constantine I, who went to posterity, but also to the whereabouts of ordinary Ancient Romans who sank into oblivion under the relentless pressure of time. Superb photography, well-done reenactments, judicious use of drawings and movie clips, interviews with leading Ancient Roman historians, and a well-paced narration prove once more that History can live up to the legitimate expectations that it creates. In summary, this DVD set will fall in the good graces of any history buff who wants to know more about a civilization that still permeates the Western world.

Don't Miss Disc 5
Chapter 2, Disc 5 recounts the fall of Rome. This alone is interesting, but there's related content that's even better. I won't disclose what. That chapter by itself is worth the price of admission.

Love!
I own several documentaries on Rome and this is definitely one of my favorites. I always enjoy a glimpse into the details of "Roman Vice".
