Product Description:
On the front lines of americas drug war one family is living in the crossfire. Studio: Hbo Home Video Release Date: 11/14/2006 Starring: Tk Carter Sean Nelson Run time: 360 minutes Rating: Nr Director: Charles S Dutton
Amazon.com:
The bleak reality of drug addiction is captured with unflinching authenticity in The Corner, an excellent, reality-based HBO miniseries. Having lived on the streets of West Baltimore, Maryland, where this compelling drama takes place, actor-director Charles S. Dutton knows the territory, physically, socially, and emotionally, and his compassionate approach is vital to the series' success. Dutton cares for his characters deeply enough to give them a realistic shred of hope, even when hope is consistently dashed by the ravages of addiction. This is, at its root, a family tragedy, focusing on errant father Gary (T.K. Carter, in a heartbreaking performance) a once-successful investor trapped in a tailspin of heroin dependency. His estranged wife Fran (Khandi Alexander) was the first to get hooked, and she's struggling to get clean, while their 15-year-old son DeAndre (Sean Nelson, from the indie hit Fresh) deals drugs, temporarily avoiding their deadly allure while facing the challenge of premature fatherhood.
Through revealing flashbacks and numerous local characters, we see the explicit fallout of addiction, and while violence occasionally erupts, its constant threat is secondary to Dutton's dramatic vision, which remains steadfastly alert to the humanity and neglected potential of these lost and searching souls. The Corner is, essentially, the civilian flipside of HBO's equally laudable series The Wire, which approaches a similar neighborhood from a police-squad perspective. Performances are uniformly superb, details are uncannily perfect, and for all of its human horror, The Corner is riveting, not depressing. A closing interview with the characters' real-life counterparts bears witness to the fact that these lives--with inevitable exceptions--need not be lost forever. --Jeff Shannon

I SAW THIS MOVIE THE CORNER AND I HAVE TO SAY THAT DAVID SIMON, HBO, CHARLES DUTTON AND THE CAST GAVE TRUE REALISM TO THIS PROBLEM OF DRUG ADDICTION AND VIOLENCES IN GHETTO. CHARLES DUTTON GAVE THIS FILM TOTAL NO HOLDS BARRED LOOK AT THE PROBLEM OF DRUGS AND THE DAY TO DAY LIFE STRUGGLE OF A COMMUNITY TRYING TO MAKE IT ANOTHER DAY IN THE LIFE OF THE HOOD AND THE DRUGS AND VIOLENCES THAT COMES WITH IT. I LOVE THE INTRODUCTION THAT HE DID TALKING ABOUT THE FILM...ITS SO TRUE THAT THE CORNER WAS LIFE ... Read More

Gritty, harrowing, human.
We bought it because we loved The Wire, and found it as compelling, although it is not as complex as that show, it's scope is as you would expect is restricted to life on "The Corner" and the light and shade which is part of the Wire is not as evident.
Rating: -
This a must see DVD. A gritty protrait of the lives of several drug addicts. Outstanding!
Rating: -
Received before ETA in great condition. No scratches cover in good condition great price. All around good service.

In one word The Corner =brillance. Charles S.Dutton displays masterful storytelling in the stories of crack addicts. Sean Nelson contunies to show his dramatic range as an actor and he has a carrer ahead of him. But the acting standouts are Khandi Alexander & T.K. Carter as the parents of Nelson's character.

Cunard Line has announced that its new
85,000-ton cruise ship, which is scheduled to enter service in 2008, will be
named Queen Victoria. Based in Southampton, England, the Cunard Queen Victoria will be
the second largest Cunard Queen ever built. Together with the current flagship,
Queen Elizabeth 2, and Queen Mary 2, the biggest passenger liner ever, the
Cunard fleet will include three Queens for the first time – truly the most
famous ocean liners in the world.

Queen Victoria will enter service in the company’s 165th anniversary and will
operate cruises to and from Southampton to the Mediterranean, the Canaries,
Northern Europe, the Caribbean, and South America. The 1,968-passenger vessel
will feature a covered wraparound promenade deck, a forward-facing observation
lounge, a large Lido pool with a retractable magrodome, and 10 of the12
passenger decks will be served by exterior glass-walled lifts. Like QE2 and QM2,
the liner will have a Queens Grill, offering single-seating gourmet dining.
There will also be a unique Colonial Restaurant on Deck 11 with spectacular
panoramic views.
Queen Victoria cruises will offer a wide range of
accommodations, large standard outside cabins (170 square feet) and a high
percentage of balcony cabins (67%), thereby bringing new levels of luxury and
choice to passengers preferring to depart from a European port. Cruise
Queen Victoria!

The on-board menus, entertainment and lecture program will be geared to British
tastes and the currency will be sterling. Queen Victoria will fly the red
ensign; she will have the name of her home port, Southampton, on her stern, and
she will have a British Captain and Officers.
In design terms the cruise Cunard Queen Victoria will have an undeniably British feel with two British design
teams being responsible for the interior of the Cunard Queen Victoria.
Queen Victoria is being built at Italy’s Fincantieri shipyard in Marghera, near
Venice, with her keel laid on July 12, 2003. One of the most technically
advanced shipbuilders in the world, Fincantieri has built more than 7,000
vessels, including many for Cunard’s parent Carnival Corporation. Originally
ordered as the fifth in a series of five 'Vista' class ships for sister company
Holland America, the contact was signed over to Cunard before the keel was laid
and Holland America then ordered a further ship for delivery in 2006.
Enjoy a Cruise on Queen Victoria. The
lead ship in the series, Zuiderdam, entered service in December 2002.
No cruise schedules have yet been
announced. Her float out is scheduled for May 2007, prior to
her delivery in March 2008.She is scheduled to enter service in April 2008. |
