Every year in the ruins of what was once North America, the Capitol of the nation of Panem forces each of its twelve districts to send a teenage boy and girl to compete in the Hunger Games. Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen volunteers in her younger sister's place and must rely upon her sharp instincts when she's pitted against highly trained Tributes who have prepared their entire lives. If she's ever to return home to District 12, Katniss must make impossible choices in the arena that weigh survival against humanity and life against love. Building on her performance as a take-no-prisoners teenager in Winter's Bone, Jennifer Lawrence portrays heroine Katniss Everdeen in Gary Ross's action-oriented adaptation of author-screenwriter Suzanne Collins's young adult bestseller. Set in a dystopian future in which the income gap is greater than ever, 24 underprivileged youth fight to the death every year in a televised spectacle designed to entertain the rich and give the poor enough hope to quell any further unrest--but not too much, warns Panem president Snow (Donald Sutherland), because that would be "dangerous." Hailing from the same mining town, 16-year-olds Katniss and Peeta (Josh Hutcherson, The Kids Are All Right) represent District 12 with the help of escort Effie (an unrecognizable Elizabeth Banks) and mentor Haymitch (a scene-stealing Woody Harrelson). At first they're adversaries, but a wary partnership eventually develops, though the rules stipulate that only one contestant can win. For those who haven't read the book, the conclusion is likely to come as a surprise. Before it arrives, Ross (Pleasantville) depicts a society in which the Haves appear to have stepped out of a Dr. Seuss book and the Have-Nots look like refugees from the WPA photographs of Walker Evans. It's an odd mix, made odder still by frenetic fight scenes where it's hard to tell who's doing what to whom. Fortunately, Lawrence and Hutcherson prove a sympathetic match in this crazy, mixed-up combination of Survivor, Lost, and the collected works of George Orwell. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

			Synopsis Every year in the ruins of what was once North America, the Capitol of the nation of Panem forces each of its twelve districts to send a teenage boy and girl to compete in the Hunger Games. A twisted punishment for a past uprising and an ongoing government intimidation tactic, the Hunger Games are a nationally televised event in which “Tributes” must fight with one another until one survivor remains. Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen volunteers in her younger sister’s place to enter the games, and is forced to rely upon her sharp instincts as well as the mentorship of drunken former victor Haymitch Abernathy when she’s pitted against highly-trained Tributes who have prepared for these Games their entire lives. If she’s ever to return home to District 12, Katniss must make impossible choices in the arena that weigh survival against humanity and life against love. About the Author SUZANNE COLLINS first made her mark in children’s literature with the New York Times bestselling Underland Chronicles for middle grade readers. Her debut for readers aged 12 and up, The Hunger Games was an instant bestseller, appealing to both teen readers and adults. It has appeared on the New York Times bestseller list for more than 180 consecutive weeks/more than three consecutive years since publication. Suzanne Collins also had a successful and prolific career writing for children’s television. In 2010 Collins was named to the TIME 100 list as well as the Entertainment Weekly Entertainers of the Year list. In 2011 Fast Company named her to their 100 Most Creative People in Business.

Review :
A masterpiece! An excellent film about courage, hope and human dignity facing the all powerful totalitarian tyranny!
"Hunger Games" is certainly the best film I have seen since many many months, and it is a very successful adaptation of an excellent book.

In my personal opinion, both the book and the film are much deeper and much more ambitious, than what most critics and reviewers would make us believe. After reading the reviews in "New York Times", "Le Monde" and on "Msn.com" (to cite only few) I was surprised that they mostly missed everything that is important in this film. With a kind of amused superiority, which people from Capitol in this movie would immediately recognize, the "professional" reviewers pointed at the obvious allusions to gladiator fights, the reality shows, the importance of trashy entertainment in today's TV, the search for a new franchise able to replace "Twilight", etc., etc.

But they almost entirely failed to see, that this film is first and above all about much more important things: how to keep hope, not lose the courage and preserve humanity and...
Too pretty, too santized -- the film has none of the emotional impact of the novel
Director Gary Ross's version of Suzanne Collins's HUNGER GAMES manages to sanitize the entire concept of kids-killing-kids in order to produce a PG-13 blockbuster that's sure to rake in the big bucks. But what was devastating and heart-wrenching in the novel is glossed over and prettified here, leaving me feeling none of the emotional impact I experienced in reading the book.

[**SPOILER WARNING** I'm assuming readers are familiar with the novel, so some plot elements will be discussed in this review.]

Don't get me wrong, this is a slick and well-made film, with plenty of action and a sensational performance from Jennifer Lawrence as heroine Katniss Everdeen. The settings are well done, especially the Capitol in all its crazy-colored chic-ness and over-the-top luxury. District 12, the poorest district in Panem, is believably presented as well, complete with starving people dressed in rags and walking like zombies to their depressing jobs. The scene of the...
Big fan of the book, but the movie was just so-so for me
I understand that with any adaptations from books to movies, you lose a lot of the background & character work. It's difficult to really interpret the author's written words on screen. I think there were a lot of wasted opportunities here to layer more of the background underneath the scenes. Too much & it drags the pace down. Too little & the characters become more shallow, less layered. You want to care about the majority of these characters & I really was drawn in by them in the book. The movie left me wanting. While the action of the movie is important, it's not the most important part of it. I feel as if the whole premise of the books was lost in trying to ramp it up with action & with the action not even occurring where I really wanted it to be.

I wanted to like this movie more & had I not read the book first, I probably would have. However, reading the book first provides so much back story that you can actually follow what's going on & understand the 'why's &...

Marvel Just Keeps Getting Better
Avengers: Age of Ultron was an excellent movie. I would absolutely recommend taking the time to see it, especially if you happen to be a fan of the Marvel movies that have been released to date.
I've seen a lot of mixed reviews, the complaints mostly focusing on the fact that there was a lot of story and a great deal of activity shoved into a package that was just shy of two and a half hours. Maybe it's because I spent a lot of my life reading comic books, but I didn't feel at all like the narrative was rushed or unevenly paced at all. Personally I felt that there was a terrific balance between well choreographed action and well-written character development...though I might have liked to see a little bit more of the story dedicated to The Vision, Scarlet Witch, and Quicksilver depending on how it was managed. The introduction of those three characters was fantastic though, and I thoroughly loved the change in dynamics that they forced upon the existing Avengers.

In some ways better than the original, and in some not.
To say that this sequel is bigger and badder than the original in virtually every way is not an understatement. "Age of Ultron" boasts more villains, more heroes, more action, and a far weightier tone than "The Avengers". While "The Avengers" was hampered by its origin story format and an incredibly slow first 20" "Ultron" is able to burst out of the gates with the heroes gathering and quickly storming the (literal) castle. We're also introduced to our first villains, Baron von Strucker and "the twins". The movie is dense with plot in its first act, especially in how Ultron is created, and it may make some people's heads spin. Also, with so many floating pieces/ characters to balance out and give each their due time (though it does give each of the characters their own moments and balances their screen time quite well), it ends up feeling like there are a bit too many moving pieces.

Review :
something fishy here ?
Alright we have watched the Little Mermaid and were treated to an event in the Little Mermaid 2 Return to the Sea to meet Ariel's daughter Melody , and than we are taken to the past to see a glimps of Ariel's childhood and even see her mother for a few brief minutes before tragedy falls .

The films do an alright job fitting along side of their crowning jewel .

The only downer in this franchise is that there are many deleted scenes and bonus features that could make these editions worth while but the damn company wont give a good fully loaded copy of the prequel and sequel . With BluRay you would think they would unload a whole grotto of features onto the disc....

Take as an example, The Lion King 2 has a nice bit of deleted scenes, however there has never been a release of the deleted scenes in the USA .

It is a shame when a great edition could make for better sales

The films are nothing much when compared to the masterpiece /...
Great - wish digitals were included. Cute movies.

Cute followups that give Little Mermaid fans a little more of her world. Disney's classic animation is here of course and it's gorgeous on BluRay ... I only wish digital copies were also included here as I've got to dig out the physical discs any time we do a Little Mermaid-a-thon. Life is easier when we're watching through the Apple TV - or at least, it allows me to be lazier.

My Little Mermaid Lover Likes them!

My 3 year old is OBSESSED with The Little Mermaid, so I thought she'd love this set too. She really likes both of the movies. Ariel's Beginning is a pre-qual to the original and has the same great characters, along with some new ones. The Little Mermaid II is about Ariel's mermaid daughter and introduces lots of new, fun characters. Like most straight to DVD films, the songs aren't as great and the voice acting is not as well done for all of the characters, but for my Little Mermaid lover, it's still very good!

Review :
This Movie Saved a Life!
My kids watched this movie one hundred and one times. I have it memorized. Well, one day it saved a life.

My dog, Keesha, was expecting pups, and a few days early, she had the first one on my son, Kyle's bed. He was shocked and surprised, and didn't know what to do. I was out shopping for groceries. The father was asleep in front of his newspaper.

That first pup didn't move, our dog wasn't the best mother, and she didn't take care of it. My older son, Joel, upon seeing the lifeless, wet pup - and having watched "101 Dalmatians" so many times - knew exactly what to do!

He took the pup in a towel and rubbed it, bringing circulation to the wee babe's tiny body. Just like he saw the dad do on the movie! And it worked!

Four more puppies later, the mom and all the babies were in good health. thanks to my smart son and this movie!!! Thank you Disney!

PS - I guess I should add - it is a nice Disney Classic movie - every house should have...
Disney unleashes the hounds!!
Disney has announced the release of 101 Dalmatians, one of the most cherished Disney classics, on 2-disc Platinum edition dvd on March 4, 2008. Rather than speaking about the film I would rather share the details about this upcoming Platinum Edition dvd. The film has been digitally remastered for this release which also boasts of many previously unseen bonus features. The best part, however, is that unlike the recently cropped "Jungle Book", 101 Dalmatians will be presented in its original fullscreen aspect ratio. Here's a list of bonus features based on the press release published by UltimateDisney:

Disney's Virtual Dalmatians: Adopt, name, train and care for your very own virtual puppy where there are over 101 possibilities.

Puppy Profiler: Find out which dog you're most like!

Restored, retaining the correct screen aspect ratio of 1:33-1!

After goofing up the aspect ratio of the re-mastered Jungle Book DVD, Disney got this one right.
101 DALMATIANS was shot in the old 1:33-1 aspect ratio & projected that way at theaters. For the many theatrical re-issues it had, Disney produced special "window-boxed" 35mm prints so that the theaters would not mask off the top & bottom. I saw this in a theater in 1991 with black bars on the left & right side of the picture.

Once and for all, there is no question. This was produced and intended to be seen in 1:33-1 aspect ratio.

I am also glad that this movie has finally gotten the respect of a two-disc DVD release. I don't remember Walt promoting the film much during its original release like he did many others. With the stigma of being the first "Xerography" processed Disney animated film, this title often gets overlooked when talking about the classics.

something fishy here ?
Alright we have watched the Little Mermaid and were treated to an event in the Little Mermaid 2 Return to the Sea to meet Ariel's daughter Melody , and than we are taken to the past to see a glimps of Ariel's childhood and even see her mother for a few brief minutes before tragedy falls .

The films do an alright job fitting along side of their crowning jewel .

The only downer in this franchise is that there are many deleted scenes and bonus features that could make these editions worth while but the damn company wont give a good fully loaded copy of the prequel and sequel . With BluRay you would think they would unload a whole grotto of features onto the disc....

Take as an example, The Lion King 2 has a nice bit of deleted scenes, however there has never been a release of the deleted scenes in the USA .

It is a shame when a great edition could make for better sales

Great - wish digitals were included. Cute movies.

Cute followups that give Little Mermaid fans a little more of her world. Disney's classic animation is here of course and it's gorgeous on BluRay ... I only wish digital copies were also included here as I've got to dig out the physical discs any time we do a Little Mermaid-a-thon. Life is easier when we're watching through the Apple TV - or at least, it allows me to be lazier.

My Little Mermaid Lover Likes them!

My 3 year old is OBSESSED with The Little Mermaid, so I thought she'd love this set too. She really likes both of the movies. Ariel's Beginning is a pre-qual to the original and has the same great characters, along with some new ones. The Little Mermaid II is about Ariel's mermaid daughter and introduces lots of new, fun characters. Like most straight to DVD films, the songs aren't as great and the voice acting is not as well done for all of the characters, but for my Little Mermaid lover, it's still very good!

Miyazaki's Masterpiece on Blu-Ray
What can be said about "Spirited Away" that has not been stated before? This is one of the best animated films ever created and arguably the highlight of Hayao Miyazaki's extraordinary career. This incredibly imaginative work is combined with an emotional story that really makes this one special.

This is the story of Chihiro, a 10 year old girl who is moving to a new city when her parents decide to take a quick detour to what seems to be an abandoned amusement park. However, the park is filled with magical creatures and her parents are turned into pigs. Chihiro must grow up quickly in this exotic world not only to save her parents, but to survive.

I cannot speak enough about the story itself which is expertly crafted or the beautiful animation that includes some wonderful scenes at the bath house, the strange characters that fill the screen and my favorite, the train on the flooded tracks which provides views of the distant clouds that almost had me...
why are you even reading reviews? you know it's perfect already!!

Pre-ordered this so I could watch this the day it came out (I've been anxiously awaiting this blu ray for more years than I'd like to admit) and refrained from watching it until I could finally bear witness to the excellence that is 1080p. Now we all know and love the movie and this totally delivers. It has everything the dvd had but in such gorgeous quality I'm blown away. This was done very well, my only complaint is it should have come out much sooner! I'm only 5 minutes in but already so excited. I'm a Miyazaki lover through and through which makes these blu rays something special and with every single penny. Font waste your time waiting for this to get cheaper because it never will. Blow the money and thank me later. Now I'm going to finish the movie while you order and thank me later!

I have just confirmed that this Blu ray has literal english translations on Japanese version.

You don't need to worry about dubtitles on Japanese version on this Blu ray. I have just confirmed that this Blu ray has literal english translations on Japanese version. Buy it!

Review :
The Nature of a Hero
In the summer of 2013, I rather reluctantly went with a couple of family members to see the Disney movie PLANES. I am a huge Pixar fan and, as someone who was raised in mid-America, CARS is a much better movie than the critics have ever given it credit. However, in my mind PLANES was just a rip-off of CARS and a clever attempt to further milk the cash cow. PLANES isn’t a bad movie, but it is pretty much a re-telling of CARS, but with a little tweaking , role reversal, and with airplanes instead of cars.

When I heard of PLANES: FIRE & RESCUE, I couldn’t imagine the sequel being better than the original. However, after having seen the movie I can admit I was wrong. PLANES: FIRE & RESCUE is a superior movie to PLANES in every way. It’s a movie that people of any age can enjoy watching and honors the nations firefighters at the same time.

In terms of story, the film follows the hero of PLANES, Dusty Crophopper (voice by Dane Cook). After winning the...
My pilot buddies will really enjoy this one

I'm a pilot and found the movie well done and very accurate in many aspects of aviation. My wife is not into aviation and surprisingly loved the movie. I suspect kids will like the movie but didn't see one in the theatre. The thunderstruck scene will get your adrenaline going.

Great combination
This movie combines so many different elements that it's hard to review them all at once. First, there's the central character's drama. After he's gotten good and used to the adulation his racing career brings, it has to stop. A 'medical' condition threatens to kill him if he pursues that 110% lifestyle. So, he sets his sights elsewhere - not lower (as he was to find), but elsewhere, and among others, each with a past of their own.

Then there's a "little engine that could" subtext, with plenty of setbacks. There's also the inspiring thought that a hero doesn't need to be a hero to anyone, or even known to be heroic. ("How do I get my picture on that wall?") There's more in that thought that I realized at first, the notion of being your own hero, and a real one, not just an ego-fantasy. Also, self-worth through achievement instead of an entitled feel-goodism, and seeing many contributors making very different contributions, and the snarky sense of comeuppance...

Review :
The movie is fantastic if you love Miyazaki in s personal way
Miyazaki is an animation genius who got his start drawing airplanes……and so his last film before retirement is about a kid who grew up to design airplanes. I can't help but wonder how autobiographical this is.
This film encompasses one half of everything that makes Miyazaki great. Miyazaki came out of retirement once before and made Ponyo. That film carried his Speilbergian love of childhood, his whimsey, his environmental political views (its in small doses and does not ruin the film for a second), and dreamlike art on the border between terrifying and heavenly. That is half of all Miyazaki films that appeals to kids. The Wind Rises is the other half. The side of Miyazaki that loves flight and engineering, tides of tragedy, and the little beautiful things lost in plain sight in the lives of his characters and makes you cry with hope.
Beautiful animation and a fitting swan song for the director of the best animated films of this century……..unless...
Hayao Miyazaki's swan song is just about perfect
The trailer for The Wind Rises only hints at some of the film's secrets, but it's worth a look if you are completely new to the works of director Hayao Miyazaki. This is not a slick Disney production in 3D with modern graphics, but a softer 2D watercolor piece. All of Miyazaki's movies use this style and it can be disappointing for some. I find it utterly beautiful.

If you are familiar with Miyazaki, the important thing to note is that The Wind Rises is different in tone to all of his established classics. This is a movie set in the real world, and it tells the story of, Jiro Horikoshi, who designed Japanese fighter planes during the second world war. I was worried that the story might disappoint, as I love Miyazaki's fantasy worlds, but all of the magic was present.

One thing I should mention immediately is that this is not a story that is likely to engage young children in the way that Ponyo, My Neighbor Totoro, or Kiki's Delivery Service did. The two main...
Remember the first 5 minutes of Up? That's what it feels like!
What is there left to say that hasn't been said of this movie? For those who haven't watched it, Pixar's Up is notable for its opening scenes that beautifully expresses the emotional heft the main character will carry for the rest of the movie. It's wistful, heartbreaking, and can compete with any 5 minutes of any other film - animated or not - as the most touching ever put onscreen. In almost typical Miyazaki fashion, the entirety of The Wind Rises achieves that same affect and poignancy.

With that said, it will bring feelings out of you, simply put! That's not to say it's a depressing movie, but it's emotionally fulfilling on a level few animated films have been able to express (and to be honest, those few films are mostly Miyazaki films). As you watch the life of a Japanese man building aircrafts for his country and finding love, The Wind Rises does carry a somber tone due to the plain fact that this is Miyazaki's supposed last film. Rather than describing the plot in...

Review :
If you're into special features, the Diamond Edition is a huge step down from The Platinum Edition
Keeping this review succinct and to the point, this latest release of Sleeping Beauty (aka the Diamond Edition) has the same excellent A/V presentation as the last Blu-Ray release (the 2008 Platinum Edition), four of the same special features found on the 2008 Blu-Ray release (the audio commentary and making-of doc "Picture Perfect: The Making Of Sleeping Beauty" being the best of the lot) and adds a few never-before-seen deleted scenes (storyboarded with newly recorded voicework), and a few new brief extras tying Sleeping Beauty into Disney's live-action film Maleficent.

What's missing on this "Diamond Edition" is nearly an entire disc (!) worth of special features that were previously released on the Platinum Edition of Sleeping Beauty ... special features that were among the most intriguing ever released for a Disney animated Blu-Ray. They include the following:

A Restored Disney Classic with Bonuses
This movie is one of the great classics of animation, especially for Disney. The DVD version is significantly improved compared to the previous VHS tape. The picture and sound were both greatly enhanced for this release. Furthermore, both widescreen and full screen versions are available in this package.
As with Disney's other classics, some liberties were taken with the original story of Sleeping Beauty. Disney took the classic story and made it unique and special. In some ways the story is less violent and dark than the original fairy tale. In other ways, such as the portrayal of Maleficent, the movie is dark and forbidding. While the movie is generally a children's movie, Maleficent's dragon and her general demeanor can be somewhat frightening for some in the pre-school and younger set.
Aurora was the first love for many a young boy, and was also the model for the aspirations of millions of girls. The romantic love story of Princess Aurora and Prince Phillip...
Still Looks Great
I vividly remember the release of Sleeping Beauty. I was old enough to go see it myself - just barely. There I was sitting way up front eating my popcorn and all of a sudden this spectacular dragon materialized right before my eyes. Popcorn forgotten, I was hooked. Cartoons never looked the same to me, and I spent the rest of my life inhaling fantasy and science fiction on a quest for the same thrill.
Animation has changed quite a bit in the ensuing years, but even today Sleeping Beauty is a towering achievement. Now I'm more sensitive to the tricks of the art and can see the masterful use of perspective that made the scenes leap out at you. When I first picked up this DVD I half expected to be disappointed, to find it really wasn't so glorious in retrospect. This is hardly the case - this film is just as vibrant and alive as it was in 1959.
The added dimension now is that I can see how Disney's work was a formative influence on animation even today. Artist/Directors...
