Months living with a Lion on a lifeboat
on April 19, 2013
Posted by: GreatMoviesAllTheTime
from Chicago, IL
Verified Purchase:Yes
Life of Pi describes the journey Pi is forced to take when his family chooses to relocate from India to the United States. In India, his family operated a private zoo. To finance their migration, they committed to sell their animals to zoos in the US. As a result they are limited to taking a ship from India to the US.
While at sea, a violent storm hits the boat, sinking it. The boat takes down many of the animals as well as Pi's parents and siblings. But some of the animals survive and end up in Pi's lifeboat. The Lion wins out amongst the animals, but he is at a draw with Pi. Both must learn to live with each other - so they both will be able to survive.

Great Movies, disappointing extras
on April 15, 2013
Posted by: GreatMoviesAllTheTime
from Chicago, IL
I was excited to get this as I didn't have any of the movies. I thought the extras would be neat to have. But the Tesseract cube isn't that interesting - the only thing it does is blink randomly when struck on a hard surface.
Remember the black envelope inside - it has a disney rewards code that also takes you to an extras website!

What's not so great: Extras not so strong

Film about 8 Trappist monks facing terrorists
on April 15, 2013
Posted by: GreatMoviesAllTheTime
from Chicago, IL
Tis film details the life of 8 Trappist monks and how they deal with the rising terrorist tensions in Algeria. Throughout the film you see how they are nonjudgmental, helping both sides of the conflict. But when their protectorate from the Islamic terrorist group is killed in fighting with government forces, they become a bargaining chip.
What's great about it: Depicts a non-judgemental people
What's not so great: French subtitles

Wonderful message with a surprising plot twist
on April 15, 2013

This film is set in a post-apocoliptic world with Eli needing to take a precious object to the west. The film chronicles the friends he makes and challenges he faces.
The plot twist at the end brings the whole movie into perspective - you will realize how amazing Eli's quest really is!

Interesting flick about a geek getting the girl
on April 13, 2013
Posted by: GreatMoviesAllTheTime
from Chicago, IL
"I Love You, Beth Cooper" opens at High School Graduation with the geeky valedictorian, Denis (Paul Rust), angering many in his graduating class and professing his love for a girl he sat behind but never talked to. This sets up a unpredictable set of events in which Denis and his friend try to stay alive as they encounter each of the alienated groups.
But the film takes a twist with Beth Cooper (Hayden Panettiere) starting to go sweet on the geek. Beth and her friends decide to help Denis and his friend through the gauntlet of upset people. The combination makes for many fun scenes.
Set in Wisconsin, this film includes the obligatory beer run as well as a cabin in the woods. Watch for them!
What's great about it: Reminder of High School Graduation

Academia will never be the same when Rodney Dangerfield enrolls to become the wackiest student ever in the quintessential 1980s comedy Back to School! Presented in non-anamorphic 2.35:1 widescreen, MGM has done a fair job on this transfer. Although there are some dirt and imperfections present, overall the color levels are dutifully even, with solid blacks. It is a shame that MGM decided not to make Back to School enhanced for widescreen TVs, but what is available should please fans of the film. With only a slight amount of edge enhancement present, this transfer ranks well above average. Also included on side B of this disc is a standard 1.33:1 version of the film (same quality as side A, only this version of Back to School is chopped off on the sides). Audio is presented in Dolby Digital 2.0 Surround (in English, French, and Spanish) and could have really benefited from a Dolby 5.1 remix. As it stands, this Dolby 2.0 Surround track works well, with center and front directional speakers utilized (though not to the fullest extent). The dialogue, effects, and Danny Elfman's energetic score are all distortion-free, with minimal hiss present. Also included on the disc are French and Spanish subtitles. Back to School certainly could take a few lessons from other DVD editions, as MGM has decided to make this version very basic. The only supplemental feature included on this disc is a humorous, full-frame theatrical trailer. For audio and video this disc makes the grade. For bonus materials, Back to School is going to need some serious extra credit work to pass.

Always good to go Back to School
on April 13, 2013

from Chicago, IL
Realizing he's not getting the respect he deserves from his son, billionaire Thornton Melon (Rodney Dangerfield) goes Back to School to complete the college education he never got. Soon Thornton is the big man on campus, throwing the biggest parties but not being serious about his studies. He realizes that he has further distanced himself from his son and needs to show him the true way to succeed - with hard work and demonstrated skills.
