Small Spaces 'may Benefit From Open Shelving'


These days, the range of storage available on the market is impressive and there is something to suit virtually everyone's tastes and budgets. Indeed, it is even possible to source such items over the web, meaning consumers do not have to leave the comfort of their own homes in order to get the items they desire.


For years, the previous model STI was reputed to be a favourite with villains anxious for a quick getaway."Black Hollywood" (Screen Edge, 1984; not rated but contains occasional foul language, and movie-clip violence; $14.95). Interesting but overly talky documentary exploring how black talent has been treated (and mistreated) by Hollywood over the years, with a sort of call-to-arms by some interviewees. (And obviously in need of an update since much has happened since this was made two-and-a- half decades ago.)Extras: widescreen, featurettes, music video, photo gallery, trailersExtras: widescreen/full frameThe publication advised consumers who are in such residences to invest in open shelving.According to a piece in the Wisconsin Rapids Tribune, it can come in particularly handy when it comes to homes that are limited in space.Despite its sporty image, the new shape STI is more family friendly in appearance than its predecessor, looking a tad more like a five-door family hatchback.Sydney Pollack's direction is slick, Redford is at the top of his game, Cliff Robertson and John Houseman are solid as his bosses, and Faye Dunaway deftly handles an extended cameo as a stranger who helps. But it's Max von Sydow as a cultured hitman for hire who steals the show. Fun all the way, with a perfect ending.

It also drew attention to the importance of adding light to make small spaces seem more spacious. Cafe curtains or valances should replace "heavy draperies", it recommended. Indeed, if privacy is not an issue, then no such window dressings may be required.
