Movie Reviews of Gospel At Colonus
Movie Review: Very Pleased Customer
Summary: 5 Stars
I had seen the stage play years ago in New York. It was very memorable and I never forgot it, I can see it in my as if I was still seated there that day. But, the stage play being in my memory was not enough - I wanted a video or some hard copy of the stage play that I could put into the DvD Player and witness again and again.
I searched for this "hard copy" on-line and at first I thought that my search was fruitless. I was reading on-line about others who had also seen the play and wanted some way that they could obtain it. Finally, I saw that Amazon had the play on DvD and since I always order "something" from Amazon (Movies, MP3's, Adapters, an HP printer, etc.) I ordered Gospel At Colonus right away. I trust Amazon and the others who sell on Amazon (I have yet to file a complaint). I did file a complaint once and I had to send the seller an Email stating that I was mistaken and that I apologize. Anyway I have Gospel At Colonus to enjoy whenever I want pop it into the DvD Player.
I would like to make one last comment, I ordered a power adapter from Amazon and I believed it to be defected, I contacted Amazon about it and I received the best Customer Service that a consumer can ever receive from a company. Although Amazon's policy was not to replace the adapter, they shipped me a replacement adapter free, shipping was also free. What more do you ask of a company?
