Get Real begins with a couple of hedgehogs having sex, and deals with a topic just as prickly: gay love in adolescence. Steve (Ben Silverstone) is a student at a British school where everyone wears classy uniforms, knows he's gay, and is pretty comfortable being so. John (Brad Gorton), a top athlete and all-around admired guy, is just getting an inkling and isn't sure how he feels about it. This, cleverly, is how the movie manages to explore coming-out issues and be over them at the same time. In fact, the whole movie is pretty clever--witty dialogue, deft direction, nimble pacing, and clean editing--in exploring the seriousness of adolescent life without taking it too seriously. The key is in S! ilverstone's performance; he's a completely convincing mixture of hesitation and recklessness, all the conflicts of high school in one sweet-faced package. As the movie follows Steve and John's relationship--their evasions at school, getting picked up by the police in a park, goofing around in a heated swimming pool, grappling with coming out to the world at large--it lays out a bit of contrast with Steve's best friend Linda (Charlotte Brittain), who's as unapologetically fat as Steve is gay, and who's having an affair with her driving instructor. Excellent performances all around, funny, sexy, charming--if only straight teen comedies were half this good.
Get Real even demonstrates the proper etiquette when soliciting sex in public restrooms; what more can you ask for?

--Bret FetzerA pair of teenage boys growing up in a working-class neighborhood become aware of their homosexuality. While both were vaguely aware they might be gay, neither had ever acted on their impulses. Once they decide that they're attracted to each other, neither is sure just what to do. Winner of 4 International Film Festival Awards.This absolute winner, based on a stage play by Jonathan Harvey and adapted by him, is a kind of enchanted, urban slice-of-life tale about a gay teen, Jamie (Glen Berry), who is in love with t! he boy next door, Ste (Scott Neal). Hampering Jamie's progress! on the romantic front is his fear that his mother (Linda Henry) will find out, as well as concern over complicating Ste's existing problems.
Beautiful Thing is a relationship movie, to be sure, but that description doesn't really describe the buoyant tone of this British television production. Democratic in its inclusive regard for each character (whether camera-pretty or not), the film--well-directed by Hettie Macdonald--is full of surprises. Chief among them is the terrific personality of Jamie's mum, a strong and independent woman who truly worries over and adores her son. But this is a movie involved in a kind of happy dialogue with itself: the tunes of Mama Cass, for instance, play a part in both the story and overall ambience, while a strategic placement of the Rodgers and Hammerstein chestnut "Sixteen Going on Seventeen" during an act of love is fun and exciting.

GET REAL has been selected as an Honor Book in the Nonfiction category for the 2011 Green Earth Book Award. Studio: Tcfhe Release Date: 11/20/2007 Run time: 70 minutes Rating: NrThe sameness of everyday life sometimes breeds discontent and Garfield is bored with his life in Cartoon World and sick and tired of reporting to work at the Comic Strip Studio every day with co-workers Wally, Billy Bear, Randy Rabbit, and Bonita. When Odie accidentally drops his bone through a patch in the screen that separates the realm of Cartoon World from the Real Worl! d, Garfield impulsively decides to dive headlong into the land! of hot dog vendors with little regard for his girlfriend Arlene or owner Jon. Followed by the ever-bumbling Odie, Garfield's initial excitement quickly dims at the prospect of dumpster diving for food scraps and spending the night in an old leaky building. What's more, the neighborhood cats don't believe he's the real Garfield from the funny papers and Garfield knows that now that he's entered the real world, he can never return to Cartoon World. When the local newspaper declares its intention to replace the Garfield comic strip for good, Garfield realizes the enormity of his mistake and begs his Cartoon World co-workers to somehow find a way to bring him and Odie back to Cartoon World before their strip is permanently cancelled. This completely CGI animated full-length
Garfield movie is a marked departure from the previous two live-action CGI animated movies (
Garfield the Movie and
Garfield--A Tale of Two Kitties) and has a distinctly unique look that uti! lizes three-dimensional character modeling against a seemingly flat background that looks like good video game graphics crossed with a colorful comic strip that's somehow been inflated. (Ages 5 and older)
--Tami HoriuchiThese beautiful ladies are featured on NBC s hit show,
Deal Or No Deal,® but you don t have to be a super
model or actress to look and feel like one. As a matter
of fact these ladies are looking to motivate those people
that, for whatever reason, have fallen a bit out of shape.
Celebrity trainer, Jeanette Soloma-Hale, choreographs
this 30-minute exercise routine while Patricia Kara,
Pilar Lastra and Aliké Boggan work you back into
shape with lots of fun, smiles and laughs along the way!
The new way to transform a sales culture with clarity, authenticity, and emotional intelligence.
Too often, the sales process is all about fear.
Customers are afraid that they will be talked into making a mistake; sales! people dread being unable to close the deal and make their quo! tas. No one is happy.
Mahan Khalsa and Randy Illig offer a better way. Salespeople, they argue, do best when they focus 100 percent on helping clients succeed. When customers are successful, both buyer and seller win. When they aren’t, both lose. It’s no longer sufficient to get clients to buyâ€"a salesperson must also help the client reduce costs, increase revenues, and improve productivity, quality, and customer satisfaction.
This book shares the unique FranklinCovey Sales Performance Group methodology that will help readers:
• Start new business from scratch in a way both salespeople and clients can feel good about
• Ask hard questions in a soft way
• Close the deal by opening minds
