Jennings and ABC News are up to In The Century Americas Time a 12-part documentary on six videotapes that is a companion to the book of the same name Jennings guides us through a century of technology and advancement like no other As he says in his introduction to episode 1 Seeds of Change Unlike previous centuries where leadership was defined by royalty and other rulers the 20th century more than any other was shaped by the will and actions of the common man The series is a sweeping presentation of the United States of the 1900s and tries to encompass a mind-boggling amount of history And while at moments the videos may leave you longing for more Jennings does an excellent job of creating smooth segues between disparate pieces The first episode for instance begins with the influx of immigrants at the turn of the century and touches on Jim Crow laws moving pictures planes Henry Ford the sinking of the USS Maine child labor suffragettes the Panama Canal imperialism and more right up to the beginning of World War I The archival footage is stunning and interviews with historians veterans journalists POWs politicians authors celebrities and common people help bring the past to life again Mickey Spillane discusses the speakeasies of the 1920s Dennis Hopper talks about Easy Rider in the 60s Tom Wolfe reads from The Bonfire of the Vanities for the episode on the 80s Eudora Welty E L Doctorow Martin Scorsese John Updike Pat Buchanan Oliver Stone Stephen E Ambrose among many others lend their voices to this documentary Yet despite the great names at times the pictures and people are allowed to speak for themselves without intrusive narration--the stark images of the Challenger explosion or the sad words of a political activist mourning the death of his partner to AIDS are more powerful because of it This chronological tale with the exception of the last episode Then and Now which is arranged thematically is an insightful and poignant reminder of all the marvels--and tragedies--of America in the 20th century --Jenny Brown Streetwise [VHS] Fox Lorber Monty Roberts: Real Horse Whisperer [VHS] 20th Century Fox Even as a child in the horse world Monty Roberts was uncomfortable with the conventional method of breaking or training a horse He competed in rodeos for 22 years all the while searching for a better way Eventually he learned it from the horses themselves By watching wild mustangs Roberts was able to identify some of their body language and apply it himself A good portion of this 48-minute video is devoted to Roberts demonstrating his whispering technique on a mustang separated from the herd His mission to get the wild horse to accept a saddle and rider within the space of a few days--without force Of course he is successful But knowing the outcome doesnt diminish the exhilaration of watching the dance between wild animal and gentle conqueror Roberts used some of the same principles in raising his 3 children and more than 40 foster children and now teaches his method to corporate management groups --Kimberly Heinrichs The Perfect Weapon [VHS] Paramount CNN's Millennium Boxed Set [VHS] Warner Home Video A thousand years in 10 hours is an ambitious project to say the least But the team at CNN succeeds with its now-typical aplomb as the team that brought us Cold War shares with us Millennium We know the history of our own country narrator Ben Kingsley intones But this series purports to give us history from a global perspective not through the eyes of the West Using reenactments and impressive computer graphics--used with inspiration for everything from rebuilding the 11th-century Pueblo Bonito to representing Freuds idea of the subconscious--the history of the world for the past 1 000 years is re-created Each episode covers 100 years from the 11th centurys Century of the Sword to the 16th centurys Century of the Compass to the final 100 years of the millennium in Century of the Globe Segmented by time and place Millennium focuses on five topics in five separate locations in each episode The wealth of topics is mind-boggling the spread of Islam Mongol conquests the rise of Gothic spires across Europe Australian Aborigines the trail of Marco Polo Black Death Chinese naval power the Ottoman Empire the religious conversion of the Mayans the Mogul Dynasty science slave trade the Industrial Revolution to name just a fraction of the stories told Granted given the constraints of covering 1 000 years in a mere 10 hours the video may leave you longing for more but what a way to whet your appetite for history --Jenny Brown Marilyn Monroe: Loss of Innocence [VHS] Victory Multimedia Baseball - A Film by Ken Burns [VHS] Pbs Home Video THE AMERICAN EPIC Ken Burns tops himself with this epic of American history told in nine innings with a skilled narration by John Chancellor and the voices of Paul Newman Jason Robards Billy Crystal and other stars The series spans 150 years starting with the myth-debunking tale of baseballs true beginnings -- when it was a game one degree above mayhem Then follow the growth of Americas National Pastime through the decades of glory and record-setting achievements as well as the scandals the bigotry and the big money The series portrays the game as a mirror of America itself -- the passions prejudices and ambitions that have shape the country After the national success of his 11-hour epic The Civil War --the highest-rated miniseries in public-television history--many wondered if Ken Burns could capture the same energy and passion with smaller subjects His reply the 18-hour history of Americas greatest sport Baseball not only quieted these worries it also perhaps surpassed his prior achievement Massive in scope it covers more than 100 years exhausting in detail and filled with celebrities journalists politicians historians and the men who played the game Burnss romantic love letter to the game achieves the impossible even those who hate baseball cant help but become immersed in it This is because Burns doesnt just detail the great players and the memorable plays and games he also presents baseball as a cultural and social mirror reflecting the beauty and hypocrisy of the nation that created it Divided into nine innings two hours each in length the video examines complex social issues such as segregation racial inequality its section on Jackie Robinson baseballs first African American player should be required school viewing labor battles between owners and players politics technology and gender conflicts among others Then of course theres fascinating footage and biographies on the players--troubled icons such as Babe Ruth and Ty Cobb heroes such as Joe DiMaggio and Mickey Mantle and tragic figures such as Pete Rose and Lou Gehrig--the men who despite a rocky and often hypocritical history constructed baseballs tradition and preserved its invincibility --Dave McCoy Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts Men of the Hour Jackie Gleason & Sammy Davis Jr. The Beatles Anthology Collector's Set [VHS] Apple Corps Ltd. Turner Home Ent Initially broadcast as a TV miniseries to go with the series of three Anthology double-CD albums this set of eight documentary tapes has the heft and scope of one of Ken Burnss expansive projects Still unless you are either a historian or a truly committed fan youll find yourself with way more material--particularly about the Beatles early lives as lads in Liverpool--than youll want to watch The documentary material is copious including early performance films and tapes at the point before they found their true voices The actual Beatlemania years--beginning in 1963 and concluding in 1970--feature extensive performance films as well as home movies and archival material The best parts of course are the interviews with the Beatles themselves who produced the entire thing Along with reworking two previously unreleased John Lennon tracks as new Beatles songs the Anthology includes some unseen Lennon interview tapes so that his acerbic voice can be heard as well This stands as a comprehensive document of that heady period the second coming of rock roll as the Beatles took what Elvis had started and expanded upon it exponentially The tapes give a solid sense of the historical context and the way these four musicians changed the world around them in the 1960s --Marshall Fine
