Made in Heaven


Made in Heaven
In Made in Heaven, Timothy Hutton plays a young guy in 1946 who’s just been dumped by his girl and decides to go to California. On his way, he rescues a family from a car that’s driven into a lake–and drowns in the process. Of course, he finds himself in Heaven, and there he meets Kelly McGillis, a soul who’s never been born on Earth. The two fall in love. Just as they’re about to get married–just for the fun of it, since by the rules of Heaven they’re already married–McGillis gets sent to Earth to be born. Hutton pleads with Emmett, a figure who may or may not be God, who finally agrees to give Hutton 30 years on Earth to find her and continue their love. This 1987 Alan Rudolph film teeters on the edge of absolute cheesiness and steps over that edge at moments, but mostly it miraculously maintains a delicate, sweet, and affecting tone. McGillis is good, but Hutton is superb, demonstrating an honest charisma that makes him engaging even when he’s being a jerk. The depiction of Heaven avoids the patronizing, overdone joyfulness that too many movies fall into. Though the idea sounds like pure saccharine, Made in Heaven consistently sidesteps the obvious and comes up with something genuine. Rudolph is a prolific but erratic director (his stronger movies include Choose Me, Trouble in Mind, The Moderns, and Afterglow), but this is one of the ones worth seeing. Made in Heaven features Debra Winger and an uncredited Ellen Barkin, as well as cameos by rock stars Neil Young, Ric Ocasek, and Tom Petty. –Bret Fetzer

Customer Review: Absolutely awe inspiring movie.
Saw this when I was very young, maybe 9 or 10, and it somehow moved me in a visceral way that I simply cannot convey in words. But I never found out what it was called. With the memory of the powerful ending vaguely imprinted on my mind I vowed that I would one day find out the name of this movie. I have been clutching at straws for years trying to figure it out. Only recently did I find out, I’m now 25!

I have used the the Warner Brothers comment system on their website to try push for a DVD release. It MUST happen. AMAZON, if you can hear me, please do ALL you can.

DVD NEEDED! DVD NEEDED! DVD NEEDED! DVD NEEDED!

Customer Review: Need this on DVD
I can’t beleive this hasn’t comeout on DVD. It’s a classic and one that I would love to watch, but with new technology and no VCR, I can’t. Classic, romantic, and touching film! A must see. Timeless

Planet Dog Orbee-Tuff Soccer Ball
No matter what your favorite sport or game is, there is a Orbee to match it! Varying sizes give doggy athletes of any breed a chance to play a sport. The Orbee-tuff compound is really tough with an interesting “feel” that is difficult to describe. Orbee toys are made of an injection molded “thermo plastic elastimer”. The molding process makes them hollow with holes at the ends and gives them a 1/2 inch thick membrane-like surface. This process creates an incredibly durable and safe material that stands up to sharp teeth and rough play. It’s flexible, durable, grippy, bouncy and buoyant, has a peppermint scent and rinses clean. Being hollow, Orbee toys can be stuffed with treats, peanut butter or whatever your dog has a love for. To add an additional option to the mix, all of these toys can be safely chilled or frozen for a cool treat on a hot day! Orbee toys are also non-toxic & recyclable, which makes them great for the environment too!

Customer Review: Dog’s Orbee Tuff Soccer Ball
Our 1 year-old Golden Retriever LOVES this soccer ball. It’s smaller than a regulation sized ball and easy for her to play with. Also easy to keep clean!
Customer Review: 3 out of 4 Paws
First Impression: Well the people over at Planet Dog heard about my website and decided I should test some of their toys. Puppy `o puppy am I glad they did! I saw this on their website about two months ago and I’ve been wanting to try it ever since. Dad says that the Orbee toys are made of an injection molded “thermo plastic elastomer.” Whatever… Basically the ball is strong, hollow, and has holes at both ends. This toy has a hole about 1 inch in diameter at one end, so you could put some dog treats inside, the other hole is much smaller about 3/8 of an inch. They are very flexible - I can easily crush the ball, but it just pops back out to it’s normal shape. All of the Orbee toys they sent me have a strong peppermint smell. I personally really like it; I was licking the ball at first… Of course they are bouncy, and apparently they also float! Dad also mentioned that when it’s hot during the summer we can freeze them to help keep me cool.. Conclusion: I’ve managed to pull a small piece loose near the large opening on the ball. The white part of the soccer ball is peeling away from the interior layer. I don’t think it’s going to be a huge problem, but I’ll keep everyone posted if I manage to destroy it! Followup: I managed to tear the loose piece off and swallow it before Dad could stop me. It was close though… I’ve also managed to get some more loose. Dad is debating about gluing that part down, or possibly cutting it back. I’ll update you if I can keep tearing pieces off!
