Calendar Girls Overview

When 12 ordinary members of the Women's Institute, a prim and proper local ladies' club, decide they need to find a more compelling way to raise money for a new charity, they turn to their traditional annual calendar and give it a very untraditional twist. Behind the usual baked goods, the apple pressing, and the flower arrangements are the women -- completely nude! Starring 2003 Golden Globe nominee Helen Mirren (Best Actress, CALENDAR GIRLS) and Julie Walters (HARRY POTTER AND THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS), CALENDAR GIRLS is a terrifically entertaining comedy. And that's the naked truth.

Calendar Girls Specifications

In the sensible yet elegant hands of actresses Helen Mirren and Julie Walters, Calendar Girls walks a fine line between sappiness and snickering and ends up both wonderfully funny and gently touching. When her best friend Annie (Walters, Billy Elliot) loses her husband, Chris (Mirren, Prime Suspect, Gosford Park) cooks up a scheme to memorialize him: They and their friends--all fiftysomething women--will make a nude calendar to raise money for the hospital where he died. The calendar becomes hugely popular, but the success may drive a wedge between the two women's friendship. Based on an actual event, Calendar Girls carefully balances the stories of several women as it follows the calendar's media explosion, becoming a surprisingly moving fable of loss, determination, and the perils of fame. And let's face it--Helen Mirren is one of the wittiest and sexiest women alive, clothes on or not. --Bret Fetzer

Sci Fi Film Classics 2010 Calendar with 4 DVD's

Sci Fi Film Classics 2010 Calendar with 4 DVD's Review

Okay, let's get this out of the way right away... Most of these movies are all in the public domain, so they are easy enough to find on youtube or google vids if you want to watch them online. That said, the selection of movies and the transfers are actually surprisingly good! If you are someone that would rather watch some classic films from the comfort of your couch in front of your television, as opposed to sitting in your office chair watching a 5x3" video window on your monitor, than you'll probably appreciate having these films on dvd.

Admittedly, referring to some of the included features as 'science fiction' is a bit of a stretch. Some would be more widly recognized as classic horror, but even these features find their horror based in science fiction or science gone wrong.

There are some real gems here however... Metropolis and the Phantom Planet alone are both heavyweight classics of the genre and should be in every serious science fiction fan's collection (in some format or another).

As I noted earlier, the transfers are all suprisingly good. I was particularly surprised at the crispness of the Phantom Planet transfer along with a few others.

Factor in that you get a good quality wall calendar and this is a pretty good and fun investment. I have my calendar hanging beside my desk at work and in 3 or 4 short weeks, it has become a real conversation piece. Several clients have asked me where i got it and the indicated that they are going to look for this one or one of the other related calendars that the same company put out, including the horror calndar, the classic musical and the westerns.
