New Super Mario Bros. doesn't disappoint.

Excellent game. Nintendo excels at fluid animation in their Super Mario games. I wish the game was longer and I think the game would have greatly benefited from the live orchestra music introduced in the Super Mario Galaxy games.

The producers of Planet Earth explore some truly remarkable creatures and their unique habitats, many of which have never been captured on camera before. Star nosed moles, Zambian bats, and the Vogelkop bowerbird are just a few of the creature's you'll encounter as the filmmakers take viewers to distant continents, using state-of-the-art filming techniques to drift along with migrating elephants, soar through the sky with monarch butterflies, and witness a mating battle (also known as a "heat run") between male humpback whales. A two week visit with some Komodo dragons allows us to witness with striking detail how the mighty, ancient beasts can manage the unique feat of taking down an animal that towers over them in size. The series concludes with a "making-of" special which reveals how the dedicated filmmakers worked for more than four years to deliver a nature series with the power to take your breath away. Narrated by David Attenborugh.

don't get this version
on June 1, 2010
Posted by: theLarkitect
from greenville, sc
with "planet earth" the US got angelina jolie for narration instead of david attenborough in the original version. eventually bestbuy offered the david attenborough version in stores.
same here. either order online or wait until they have the david attenborough narrated version.
david attenborough does this for a living. if you've seen the US version on TV then you know how sub-par oprah's narration is.
What's great about it: cinematography. if you liked "planet earth" you'll love this.
What's not so great: oprah winfrey narration.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Nice bit of Kung Fu fantasy
By theLarkitect from greenville, sc
Good Kung Fu fantasy film. The movie has some really nice visuals. The story is pretty standard and not at all innovative but enjoyable nonetheless.

Sorry to offend.
June 14, 2013
Sorry I offended you, but South Korea has a rich history of Kung Fu tradition. I refuse to refer to these types of films as "Wire Fu" (if that would better suit you) because I feel that term diminishes the artistic choreography and tremendous effort of the teams involved in these onscreen miracles.
It wouldn't matter if it was filmed in the Sahara by a team of Inuits, it would still be a Kung Fu film.
