Personal Finance Items of Interest Suze Orman - The Laws of Money, The Lessons of Life [VHS] Suze Orman - The Road to Wealth [VHS] Financial guru and ubiquitous TV personality Suze Orman delivers cogent advice about managing money in her distinctively ebullient style in this PBS program. Addressing an audience and fielding questions, Orman tackles topics such as managing debt, building a stock portfolio, planning for retirement, and obtaining the right kind of insurance. Dispensing such aphorisms as, "It's not about making more money, it's about knowing more about the money that you already make," Orman uses humor and gentle confrontation while bantering with the crowd. A benefit to this program is that it was recorded "post-bubble," in late 2001, and Orman uses real examples of audience members whose portfolios were devastated to illustrate how ordinary investors were operating under assumptions that proved to be very wrong. This program won't turn anyone into an expert investor, but Orman's straightforward advice would be helpful for someone who wants to do a better job managing his or her own money. --Robert J. McNamara Suze Orman - The Courage To Be Rich [VHS] Suze Orman, author of the bestselling book and DVD 9 Steps to Financial Freedom, delivers another seminar to us, this time on The Courage to Be Rich. The premise of this lecture is "how to create changes in our life so that we can take charge of our financial future." Orman loosely divides the program into three sections: the first explores how our thoughts create our destiny; the second examines our relationship with our self, our money, and those we love and their money; and the final explores the myths and realities of Roth IRAs, commissions on mutual funds, and why you may not be getting the raise you deserve. Using personal anecdotes and exercises, Orman drives her points home. Her opinions are definite--make sure you have a prenuptial agreement, own your home, invest in a Roth IRA--but she is clear and effective in explaining the reasoning behind these absolutes. Her manner is both inviting--those new to the financial world will not be in the least intimidated--and knowledgeable. After the program is completed, Orman then participates in a Q&A with the audience, assessing individual situations and providing concrete answers. If you'd like to "clear away financial clutter" and get a firmer grasp on your financial future, Suze Orman is a great place to start. --Jenny Brown Maxed Out In Maxed Out, author/director James D. Scurlock (Maxed Out: Hard Times, Easy Credit and the Era of Predatory Lenders) takes on America's debt crisis. Consequently, he touches on related issues like race, corporate malfeasance, and political subterfuge. Scurlock's multi-media approach incorporates statistics, news excerpts, and interviews, but it's rarely dull (comedy bits from Louis CK and tunes from Queen and Coldplay don't hurt). Speakers include economic professors, debt collectors, pawn brokers, investigative reporters, beleaguered consumers, and even Robin Leach (Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous). Instead of New York and Los Angeles, he concentrates on mid-size cities, like Minneapolis, Oklahoma City, and Seattle. Plenty of small towns also come into play. Though he never presses the point himself, Scurlock allows his subjects to note the similarities between the credit industry and the drug trade (others use such incendiary terms as "rape"). One thing he neglects to mention, however, is pride. If house payments are ruining your life, selling that property may be the only solution. In most cases, however, it's hard not to feel for those individuals who didn't know what they were getting into before they signed their lives away. For some viewers, this will be a dispiriting documentary--three subjects recount the suicides of relatives who found their debt too much to bear--but in explaining exactly how lenders and creditors make money, Maxed Out can help others to avoid some of their most egregious practices. In other words, debt may be a downer, but knowledge is power. --Kathleen C. Fennessy Suze Orman - For the Young, Fabulous & Broke This program is aimed at young adults ages 20-40 a generation struggling with inprecedented financial challenges. Suze orman offers a set of real not impossible solutions to the problems at hand & the problems ahead. Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 12/13/2005 Run time: 70 minutes Rating: Nr The Leopard (The Criterion Collection) With this magnificent Criterion DVD release, Luchino Visconti's 1963 historical drama The Leopard will finally earn widespread recognition as one of the most beautiful epics ever produced. In adapting the popular novel by Giuseppe Tomassi di Lampedusa (an Italian equivalent to Gone with the Wind, set during the tumultuous Garibaldi revolution of 1860-62), Visconti was initially reluctant to cast Burt Lancaster as the melancholy Prince of Salina--the aging aristocrat "leopard" of the title--who accepts change as inevitable during the struggle for a unified Italy. But Lancaster (even with his voice dubbed in the fully restored Italian release) delivered one of his finest performances, modeled after Visconti himself, and reacting to political and familial upheavals with the wisdom and whimsy of a man who knows that his way of life--and all he holds dear--must change with the times. You won't find a more intimate epic, and Giusseppe Rotunno's masterful cinematography represents the pinnacle of painterly beauty, matched only by the authentic splendor of the film's impeccable production design. The climactic hourlong ballroom scene--which even the hard-to-please Pauline Kael called "one of the greatest of all passages in movies"--is utterly breathtaking. Anchored by Lancaster's performance and the romantic pairing of Alain Delon and Claudia Cardinale, The Leopard is sheer perfection, fully restored to its 185-minute glory. --Jeff Shannon Knock Knock Receiptable Organizer, Money This "Receiptable" will help you manage everything so you can take care of business.
