Staff Picks:

"Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries DVD series"  

"The Man from U.N.C.L.E"-
"This movie is a recent release loosely based on the old T.V. series of the same name. Our story picks up with an ex-soldier CIA recruit (Napoleon Solo) being paired with a KGB agent (Illya Kuryakin) to work together during the Cold War to confound a common enemy. After an introduction filled with physical conflict and mutual mistrust, the American and the Russian gradually decide to protect each other's backs. An innocent woman is partnered with Illya to provide a pathway to the doomsday bomb's owner. Napoleon is the red herring but with necessary skills to further the mission. The movie has something for everyone: action, history, humor, romance and pending world doom. One clever car chase scene was unique in movie-making history. The attraction for me was the subtle double entendres that were laught out-lound funny. I hope you enjoy it, too."-
Nancy, Jackson Branch
