The Best Valentine's Gift Ever!!!!!, January 24, 2003
This review is from: Hollywood Greeting - Valentine's Day (DVD)
I was in a card shop the other day and something on a tv caught my eye. I asked the girl behind the counter what they were showing, and she told me all about Hollywood Greeting. She said that it is a Valentine's Day greeting card with a DVD inside. The DVD (which is actually a mini-DVD) is a short film composed of romantic movie scenes set to the music of Andrea Bocelli.
I was a little confused with this mini-DVD format, since it is half the size of a regular DVD and I was concerned that it would not work in my DVD player. She said that if you look in any CD or DVD player tray, there is a small outline in the center where this DVD can sit. She also said that it would be the perfect gift for the lady in my life. So I asked her if she would like to be the lady in my life (only joking, since I have a girlfriend). She didn't take this too well and so I left the store without making the purchase.
Well, I decided that I needed to buy this greeting card for my girlfriend ASAP. I did a search on the web, and as it turns out, Amazon.com sells this product. Once I got it in the mail I had to watch the DVD immediately. So I played the DVD (which worked in my DVD player, of course) and it was fantastic. As an added bonus, the DVD lists the movies at the end of DVD, so you can look for some romatic rentals in the future.
All-in-all, this is a definite recommendation for anyone who wants to give their girlfriend (or significant other) a great Valentine's present. I think it works on many levels, for the couple who is celebrating their 20 Valentine's Day, to the couple who is just celebrating their first. Do yourself a favor, buy this card and then reap the rewards (*wink*) on Valentine's Day.

Romantico!!!, February 8, 2003
This review is from: Hollywood Greeting - Valentine's Day (DVD)
Some of the best kisses of the silver screen play as Andea Bocelli sings Con Te Partiro - (For those not familiar with this song you'll recognize it immediately upon hearing it - especially if you ever watched the Sopranos.) This little disc sure puts you in the mood! I can't wait to play it on Valentines evening, candles, champaign, chocolate and Bocelli, ought to do the trick....
After you've seen it a couple of times you'll notice how well the cuts are timed to the music, and how the clips build in intensity as the song crescendos. Very nicely done. It leads one to think of other great screen kisses, that didn't make the cut - or couldn't be licensed. It's a nice discussion topic for a Valentines night!

Wonderful, September 8, 2003
This review is from: Hollywood Greeting - Valentine's Day (DVD)
I bought this for my husband and we were both swept away by the music and the on-screen kisses. It was very romantic and made the both of us Andrea Bocelli fans. This was just amazing!!
