Bella Classics 12-Cup coffee maker: Wake up to a fresh pot of joe with this coffee maker's programmable timer. Pour a cup while coffee continues to brew with the pause-and-serve function, and serve family and friends with the 12-cup carafe.
Great product and easy to use and set up-love the filter basket and the size. It does steam a lot so cannot have it under the cupboard like old coffee makers. Otherwise price was great as well.
HBO Video's DVD of Cannonball Run delivers a bit more than one might expect from a budget-priced disc. For instance, the film looks and sounds better than it did in its videotape incarnation. The anamorphically enhanced widescreen image is sharp and the film has been given a punchy Dolby Digital 5.1 remix that plays up the film's witty use of music and the frequent car-chase sound effects. The Cannonball Run DVD also boasts an unexpected but welcome commentary from director Hal Needham and producer Albert Ruddy. The commentary falls prey to occasional dull spots (both men praise the actors to excess), but patient listeners will be rewarded with plenty of nifty facts. Interesting bits of trivia revealed on the commentary include how much of the budget went to Reynolds' salary and the fact that Hal Needham and screenwriter Brock Yates once participated the real-life Cannonball Run. The one downside of this disc is that it strangely lacks a trailer for the film. Despite this curious omission, the DVD edition of The Cannonball Run is guaranteed to please the film's cult following.
This twin-pack of action films featuring plenty of car chases includes David Carradine's 1976 film Cannonball and {director David Cronenberg's lesser known Fast Company.
