A good first attempt at a "high-def" fish tank. It is certainly superior to other offerings out there. It has "plasma" in the name and plasma screens are typically smaller than DLP
due to the extra expense. It would have been nice to have one or two of the looping segments have the fish the right size for my 60 inch DLP TV. Perhaps when HD-DVD/Bluray DVD's and players become available it could be reshot with this in mind. More Info about this DVD DVD Release Date: Released the 01 November 2004 Usually ships in 24 hours

I just received the "Waves: The Best Caribbean Beaches" DVD in the mail today. I am extremely pleased with the visuals. The beaches and waves are very relaxing and soothing. I sat down and watched the whole thing on my widescreen TV as soon as I took the disc out of the media mailer. The visuals were spectacular! I only wish there was a function that splashed my feet whenever the waves lapped past the bottom of my TV screen!
Thank you Greg Voevodsky for producing such a wonderful DVD. I am really looking forward to the future HD Waves productions. I can only imagine how spectacular those will be. Keep up the great work!!!
This epic documentary does a wonderful job of recapturing the revolutionary impact the impressionists made while providing a historical and artistic context for this extraordinary group of painters. The work of Monet, Degas, Morisot, and their fellow impressionists has now become so familiar that its power to shock has all but disappeared.
Young and resolutely modern, these artists threw off the shackles of academic art to capture everyday life in paintings that were iconoclastic in both style and subject. At first they struggled to survive because their work was rejected by the conservative Paris Salon, but those with independent means helped those without (Monet in particular was frequently rescued from poverty by his friends), and gradually they became impossible to ignore.

In this case: No. Have you ever sat in front of the TV and surfed thru 300 cable stations only to find that there's nothing worth watching? That's the way I feel about this DVD.
The early fires, (each runs only 10 - 35 minutes) burn way too hot with huge flames that make you want to bust out the fire extinguisher before the house comes down. - Not exactly relaxing.
The later fires have cartoonish, clip-art-like mantles that look childish and really bad on the TV screen. And don't even get me started on those candles against the black screen with the white dots (a shot at an evening sky I assume).
By the way, Is relaxing music supposed to include 'Horns'?
I don't want mantles, a camera zooming in and out, goofy gimicks like matches striking, ......I just... More Info about this DVD DVD Release Date: Released the 02 November 2004 Usually ships in 2 to 4 weeks
