Movie Reviews of Inside The Tuscan Hills
Movie Review: John, Jacksonville NC
Summary: 5 Stars
I have enjoyed this DVD as much as any that I have ever ordered. The hostess is one of the most charming people that you could ever hope to tour Tuscany with. She has that rare quality of truly seeming interested in the people and subject that she is covering. Lastly, she doesn't seem like one of those tourists who would ignore a fellow countryman because she is so far above her homeland. (This is a strange statement to anybody who hasn't run into such people)
I was raised on orchards in Washington State and sometimes I really miss that life. I enlisted in the Marines at 18, and after my enlistment, attended and graduated Business School. Every once in a while I like a little escapism back to my rustic roots before I jumped into modern society with both feet. The makers of this DVD have done this for me. Thanks.
