5 comments about The Challenge [Region 2].
- I just saw this movie in school last week and I thought it was lame and too mean! In one scene, where the Olsens and a couple of other people are mountain climbing... This innocent guy falls off the mountain and MaryKate and Ashley SLAP A HIGH FIVE! Real nice...(shoves my finger in my throat!) If you parents want your kids to listen to good role models that don't smile at other people's pains, I reccomend "The Magical Forest" and "Smurfs!"
- Excuse me, for those people who think that this movie is lame, not worth watching and ... ,you guys are wrong! You should focus on the good points of the movie, not the bad ones! And all in all, I would say that this movie is the best Mary-Kate and Ashley movie I've seen so far!The Challenge had so many phases which was exciting, and thumbs up for all the great extras!The personalities were split into suitable ones for each character! For example, Kelly was overly confident and she played her part very well! I feel that this movie has an original twist from the other movies. This is the best piece of work done by Craig Shapiro. If you are one of the people who hate this movie and are reading my review, I suggest you compare YOURSELF with Mary-Kate and Ashley! you know why i'm sayin this? cuz if you are saying that they suck, you are lookin down on them, which means you think you are better than them! Well, prove it! I am actually not a fan, but I think that the movies made by MK and A are splendid! So there!Think twice about your bad comments! And those who have not watched this movie yet, do NOT lose the chance!
- This movie is probably the best Mary-Kate and Ashley movie ever made. It is about twins (obviously) that moved away from each other due to parent relocation. They both want to be on a reality game show to get a chance for a college scolorship, but don't know that eachother will be there. They end up being on the same team, and keep losing the events because all they do is fight. They soon realize that they have to get along to win. They make a comeback, and both the teams become tied. I won't give away the ending because it is so great. GO SEE IT!!!!!!!!!
- this movie staring mary-kate and ashley olsen is a great movie. i like this movie because unlike some of their other movies it is not revoling around boys. this movie is about sister hood and working together as a team and reaching and working for the gold. this is a great movie for sleppovers.
- Teen superstars Mary-Kate and Ashley take sibling rivalry to a whole new level in their latest The Challenge, playing estranged sisters who are total opposites.
Ambitious, uptight Lizzie(Ashley Olsen) and laid-back tree-hugger Shane(Mary-Kate Olsen) have to learn to live - and work - together as a team on a popular TV reality adventure show. A college scholarship is the prize at stake. Will the show's producers use sibling rivalry as a ratings tactic? Will this bring the girls closer or push them apart forever?
Shot in a scenic Mexican resort in Cabo San Lucas, this light-hearted comedy/adventure is the final entry in Mary-Kate and Ashley's successful series of video and DVD movies, before they continue their big-screen careers in 2004.

4 comments about First Easter.
- This video uses expanded footage from the "Jesus" film as the backdrop for narrating the Gospel of Luke, word for word from the Bible. It is an excellent resource for Bible teachers or for anyone who enjoys a visually meaningful but strictly biblical narration of Luke's gospel. It is easy to recommend this entire series for local churches, school libraries, and multi-media Bible teachers.
- The text is direct from the Revised Standard Version (KJV is available)as a voice over to the scenes. Depiction of Jesus' times are usually accurate. Occasionally they fall into the western depiction, but unless you are a purist it does not detract from the overall effect.
This is a set of 4 videos. There are scene extensions where (if it were television the commercial would come) the video can easily be stopped and discussion started. The nativity section is the most tedious. The others, especially the Palm Sunday, Easter portions are very well done. The crucifixion section is not one that I would show younger children as the agony is wrenching. Overall for an adult Bible study of the Gospel of Luke, it is an excellent thought provoker and discussion starter.
- most excellent video on the life and the times that Jesus lived. it gives more insight into the era and the way people lived than any I have seen so far. this is a great and exciting video of the time and the life of Jesus
- It truly is WORD for WORD authoratative, very enriching, PRAISE GOD! Over four hours of footage of Israel, with the Book of Luke re-enacted with the WORD.

5 comments about Sex: Annabel Chong Story.
- This documentary tells, in a rambling, confused style, the story of Annabel Chong, the woman who participated in 251 sex acts in 10 hours.
Although not being a fan of the porn genre, I have always been curious to understand why people would choose to give their working lives to such an appalling industry. This documentary - in a fragmented way - gives a suggested explanation in Annabel's case.
Grace (Annabel's real name) was brought up in a fairly strict, but loving, family in Singapore and given a first-class education. She then came to London for a brief period to further her studies. Tragically, there she was brutally sexually attacked by multiple assailants. This seems to have set her on a new course in life: looking for something to alleviate her pain and come to terms with what has happened.
She then decides to study sexuality, in particular "female empowerment", at USC. I have since learnt that Grace was reading Law in England, hence this represents a radical step - something the documentary-makers completely fail to discuss or even mention.
This quest for empowerment leads to her misguidedly seeking sex with as many men as possible. It's only a step from there to the notorious "gang bang" movie. Of course, the men who run the Californian porn industry are delighted to have such a promiscuous and hard-working "talent" on their hands and go out of their way to exploit her apparent enthusiasm.
After the event, Grace clearly has not found the sense of self-worth she was looking for. Quite the reverse, she descends further into harm and unhappiness; the most upsetting scene of all is when her mother finally finds out what she has been up to in the States.
Don't watch this film if you are looking for titillation. It is one of the most distressing, least sexually exciting films ever made. And expect to come away with more questions than answers.
The story of this woman is a wake-up call to anyone who thinks that porn is just a bit of harmless fun. It's just a shame the producers weren't more committed to their subject.
- If you think porn actresses are well-compensated, this is the movie for you. I guess I thought those ads promising $500 - $5000 "daily" were for real. Chong lives the lifestyle of a cheap hooker, and her place is a dump. The reason she comes across as a "babbling idiot" when she speaks in public (her producer's words, not mine) is more than likely heavy drug use/addiction. She's one of these nimwit slicers who cuts herself "to let all the pain out". There is a whole subculture about these half-breeds on the internet. They even have their own newsgroup. Chong should be the newsgroup moderator, only she doesn't "get" computers, nor anything that doesn't involve a dildo.
The premise of the film, as advertised, is her having sex with 251 men. Be advised, not even one encounter is depicted in full. Instead this is a serious, depressing documentary about her sordid, sad life. Chong's a bore. Not by a remote stretch of the imagination can she act or deport herself with any grace or character.
Chong's purportedly (*it could be B.S.) a nympho, which is a remarkable and highly unusual gift, and the film should have explored this very interesting angle, and conducted experiments and/or shown more sexual activity. Everytime she opens her mouth to explain her views on sexuality, it sounds like something somebody told her backstage, five minutes before. She quickly spaces out and what seemed like a budding cogent conversation devolves into a marijuana trip.
[SPOILER]...So if you want to get free drugs and sex and a little bit of money to support yourself in a wretched apartment, then maybe you can look into being a porn actress. The porn guys pay her less than a thousand bucks a film, a mere pittance for exposure to AIDS. And, they stiffed her on the 251 men thing...she got nuthin. My conclusion is, the porn industry sucks.
Strangely despite all the nude flesh, I did not find this film even a little bit arousing. It is all mechanical sex, like in-out, not even slightly erotic. Sub-100 I.Q. man's idea of what is sexy. Nobody here is an artist; just cocks with cameras. Their idea of sophistication is triple penetration. I am not even going to explain.
- What makes this movie work is the unique character known as Annabel Chong. Actually Annabel Chong is the "porn name" of a young USC student named Grace Quek. Grace grew up with a religious family in the ultra conservative society of Singapore. Apparently Grace began to rebel against these strict social conventions, especially after being exposed to more permissive people and cultures in London and California. Grace was a serious student who was seeking to combine her feminist perspective with her intense interest in sex. She became famous by appearing in a porn movie where she had sex with 251 different men in a 10 hour period.
Grace is clearly an intelligent woman who was attempting to push the sexual boundaries (and buttons) of conservative society. She was also someone with "issues," as made clear by her admitteded drug abuse, weird mannerisms and inarticulate ramblings. Quite likely she was still getting high while this film was being shot. But yet I found her to be an interesting person. Remember she was just a college kid and an especially adventurous one at that. She was also someone who wanted to experiment with her sexuality outside of what mainstream society considers acceptable. Of course, a woman having sex with so many different men is disturbing to most people. But I think that is exactly what Grace wanted to do, to "disturb" people and to challenge the social stigma against the free and full expression of wanton female sexuality in its most extreme form. So, personally, Annabel/Grace I commend you for your courage!
My primary complaint with the movie is that Gough Lewis is a pretty mediocre director. The documentary seems to lack a clear storyline or purpose and is instead just a confusing mishmash of different scenes thrown together. Not enough attention is devoted to explaining Grace's past or why she wants to do the "gangbang". Also on the bonus documentary, which was filmed 4 years after the movie, Grace complains that Lewis included certain scenes out of context. For example, the original film shows a scene of Grace mutilating her arm with a knife and makes it seems like this is something she does on a regular basis. But Grace says she only did this on a single occassion, the day that she and the director broke off their romantic relationship, and that he not only encouraged her to do this but took part in the self-mutilation himself.
In any case, I'm curious whatever became of Grace. This world doesn't always treat it's weirdos and extremists all that well. But hopefully she is doing OK. Whatever your opinions on the actions of "Annabel" this is still a movie well worth watching.
- I saw SEX - THE ANNABEL CHONG STORY at a film festival when it first came out and, happily, Chong herself was there for a Q and A afterwards. The movie itself explores the interesting, and often contradictory, personality of Annabel Chong. Born Grace Quek into a traditional family from Singapore, Chong had, as it seems, a taste for something a whole lot more. The film tries to get at exactly what it is that drives a woman to gain infamy as the receiving end of the world's biggest gang-bang. Given the type of person who would aspire to such, it is not surprising that it does not quite succeed despite an admirable effort.
Chong comes off as troubled at times (she cut her arms with razors at one point), but, as a whole, more put together than coming apart. Pleasant and appreciative of her fans, she seems to have a decent sense of the moral quandries of her actions. The scene in which her mother discovers her daughter's true work is particularly tough. And the actress who breaks Chong's gang-bang record is so nasty and self-centered that Chong cannot help but seem like a decent person if only by comparison.
Chong never achieved true fame through porn. Her name is not as well known as, say, Jenna Jameson or Tera Patrick. But her films are so wild that she gains in notoriety among those who do recognize her what she lacks in name recognition. During the Q and A she seemed nice though a bit overwhelmed in front of so many people and being peppered with (for the most part friendly) questions. SEX - THE ANNABEL CHONG STORY is worthwhile for those interested in a bit more backstory to the porn scene.
- I came across this movie and it jogged a memory. I'd read this in the local arts weekley that Annabell Chong was coming to town to show her documentary and be there for a Q & A session afterwards. Having never met her (and still not wanting to meet her), I wondered why would someone want to star in the adult film industry let alone have sex with 251 men in less than 10 hours. She set a new world's record, outdoing (no pun intended) a sex worker in Amsterdam. What exactly is the point of doing this? I didn't know before and still don't know why afterwards.
Girls who star in porn movies are pathetic. Annabelle is no exception to this. She tries to come off as making some kind of pro feminist statement that she is having sex with so many men. What kind of statement? That she has no fear of AIDS? That she thinks so little of herself to preform on camera with not just one but all these others? Some may say "it's just work". Per Ron Jeremy, he assured the audience that all the guys participating were wearing condoms and had been tested. Is that supposed to make me feel better?! We only saw hints of the real person. Is she hooked on drugs? Was she ever forced to preform on camera against her will? Why does she keep going back, because she's ashamed? The possiblities are endless. And she said if she did get AIDS she wouldn't be sad, because she had an experience. I hope no one takes that seriously. But guess what? She's a cutter. She wants to feel something, release the pain inside.
Perhaps the scariest aspect of this is the unassuming interviews with her mother. Her mother clearly has no idea she is doing this. What would her reaction be? Would she even acknowledge that she knew her? What is she supposed to feel?
This is a haunting look at the realities of porn. A must see for anyone who thought it was glitz and glam.

- The editorial review of this DVD is the wrong one. It applies to "Here Comes Peter Cottontail" and not this title! I purchased this, remembering "Irontail" from my youth. However, "Irontail" does not appear in this DVD. It is a cartoon and not claymation. The cartoon is fine for small tykes but make sure you are ordering the correct title!
- Cute story about Peter Rabbit and my son enjoys it but I only give it 2 stars b/c the title suggests that this story has something to do with Easter. The discription of this DVD is completely incorrect.
- The writing is bad, the voices are annoying, the animation is cheesy.... But my two year old daughter LOVES it! At least twenty times a day we hear the goofy theme music start up as she pops it in the VCR and starts hopping around our living room in her bunny ears. Her enthusiasm alone earns it two stars. And you know what? If something were to happen to her beloved bunnies, I would immediately order a replacement copy. She looks awfully cute in those bunny ears.
- I found this movie to be really annoying. The voices are horrible. But, my 4 year old daughter really enjoys it and has since she first got it on her 1st Easter. My advice if you buy this is to put it on when you don't have to be in the room to hear it.
- I do have to agree with other reviewers about the title. My husband and I picked this up for our son, almost two, for his Easter basket. It really has nothing to do with Easter, though. My son adores it and watches it every chance he gets. I like all of the classical music they play in the background. Even though it isn't Easter, it still is a lot better than some things he could be watching, and it isn't overly irritating for adults.
