But, the movie says, primarily she�s innocent, though in need of wisdom. It�s 1986, and 16-year-old Rose (Camilla Bella) lives with her father Jack (Daniel Day-Lewis) on an island off the East Coast of America. Jack is the last of a once-thriving commune; he built a partly-buried house, there are some wind turbines for power, and they have a flock of chickens. Rose tends flowers and vegetables, and all in all they seem at first to be content. But soon we realize that�s far from the truth. Rose used to go to school off-island, but since she was 11, Jack, who�s well-educated, has been tutoring her at home. Jack also inherited a lot of money, so they have no problems in that area. But Rose is very curious about the world and has no immediate way of finding out anything about it�Jack firmly vetoes her request for television.

It�s another Cinderella story, but the characters are all a little askew from what you usually find in this sort of thing; they�re more realistic, more rounded and funnier. It has a perfect star-making role for Michelle Trachtenberg, and features lots of beautiful, exciting figure skating. It�s not exactly a girl-empowerment tale, though there is some of that; it�s too honest to stoop to that kind of stereotyping. Under another director, the script by Hadley Davis could have turned out just that way, but fortunately the director here is Tim Fywell, the Brit who did the interesting �I Capture the Castle� a couple of years back. The story is relatively elementary. Teenaged Casey Carlyle (Trachtenberg) loves skating on the pond behind her New England home, but with the strong support of her mother Joan (Joan Cusack), she�s going after a physics scholarship to Harvard. She�s something of a science geek, dateless and shy. She�s not quite the laughingstock of the high school soshes, but she�s teetering on that brink.

Not since the Vandersteen 2 has a loudspeaker come on to the audio scene with such assuredness of success. Not since the Vandy has a speaker so outpaced the competition in terms of quality and value at its price point as has this Gallo loudspeaker." Martin DeWolf - Bound For Sound "... This speaker combines so much unconventional thinking, novel applications and build quality in such a balanced, physically compact but sonically gargantuan and full-range design, and for such an exceedingly fair price that some drastic measure of formal recognition was required to truly separate it out from the crowds that make up the $3,000 - $10,000 floorstanding speaker field."

So when it comes to reacting to the constantly fluctuating power needs of today's loudspeakers, an A/V receiver has to be very smart indeed. Most A/V receivers fail the test and you hear distortion. NAD's dual-rail power supply knows when your speakers need extra help to deliver clean, undistorted -sound. The result is honor roll performance for your movies and music.

Gangs of New York It has been said that history is written in blood, a theory that �Gangs of New York� bears out. Director Martin Scorsese and writers Jay Cocks, Steven Zaillian and Kenneth Lonergan, working from Cocks� story (inspired, Scorsese mentions in the commentary, by a non-fiction tome that gives the film its name), blend documented incident with fiction to create a tapestry that vividly illustrates how many clashing forces, hammering ferociously at each other, all contribute to the nature of a nation. �Gangs� is a case where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts -- we are awed and moved by Scorsese�s epic scope and vision (and by the prodigious amount of information he uses to fill each frame), but while we can respect both the extraordinary technical skill of the filmmakers and the classic form of the story arcs, the main characters are so archetypal...

A lot of 1990s attitudes have been added, occasionally intrusively, but mostly the film is a refreshing and inventive blend of the modern and the old fashioned. It's been given a good-looking transfer on DVD with excellent Dolby 5.1 sound -- your equipment will probably make it sound better than it did in half the theaters it played in. Rich, expansive, realistic but stylized, the superb soundtrack brings the great outdoors of pre-Revolutionary America into your front room. Larry Kemp was the supervising sound editor, while Doug Hemphill, Chris Jenkins, Simon Kaye and Mark Smith shared the Oscar for sound for this film.
