Shackleton's Antarctic Adventure (Large Format)

Product Details

One of the greatest survival stories of all time comes to life in this extraordinary true story of polar explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton's 1914-1916 British Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition, a testament to heroism and human endurance. All 28 men survived nearly two years in the barren, frigid Antarctic when their ship was caught in pack ice and eventually crushed. Featuring stunning Antarctic images and recreations plus original still photography and 35mm motion picture footage by Rank Hurley, the official photographer for the expedition, this is a voyage you'll want to relive again and again.





Of the many films that have chronicled Ernest Shackleton's team's legendary trans-Antarctic expedition and their struggle for survival, Shackleton's Antarctic Adventure is the only documentary that traces the actual steps of the explorers' blessed journey. While providing a concise summary of the Shackleton team's 1914-16 expedition, this breathtaking IMAX feature employs exacting re-creations and flyover footage (from 1999 and 2000) of the same harsh landscapes that Shackleton and his men traversed, by land and sea, during their ill-fated voyage. As with most IMAX films, climactic moments are driven by a bombastic score (how many swollen crescendos can one movie handle?), and the harshest facts of the Shackleton journey (e.g., sacrificing beloved dogs for food and euthanasia) are omitted for family viewing. That's a condescending compromise, and the gravitas of Kevin Spacey's narration is a bit overstated. What matters here are the visuals (both vintage and contemporary), and they're absolutely magnificent, conveying the sheer horror--and divine beauty--of the greatest survival story of all time. --Jeff Shannon

Attention:

The initial shipment of the DVD release of Shackleton's Antarctic Adventure had a defective Dolby Digital track, which was corrected for all subsequent manufacturing. The DTS track was always properly synched.

Some used copies with the defect may be circulating, but all of Amazon.com's new inventory is of the corrected edition. You can distinguish the corrected edition from the defective because the corrected edition has a blue dot under the "Image Entertainment" logo on the lower left corner of the back cover. If you have a defective edition, please return it to the retailer where it was purchased for replacement with a corrected version.

The VHS edition never had any synching issues, so none of the above applies to the VHS edition.

So weird ... so brilliant - A. Ameen - San Diego, CA
I had no idea what this show was about before I bought it. Sometimes you just have to be impulsive.

I still have no idea what this show is about, and I've watched every episode. It is weird: there's really no other word for it.

If you like weird things, then you'll think this is the greatest show of all time. If you dislike weird things, avoid this show at all costs.

Yoga Zone - Power Yoga for Strength and Endurance

Product Details

Studio: E1 Entertainment Release Date: 03/26/2002





This variation on the popular power-yoga style, as is the unfortunate case with many yoga tapes, moves both into and through its program too quickly, with virtually no warm-up or introductory instruction (especially in breathing techniques) for the uninitiated. For that reason, among others, it is not recommended for newcomers. The more experienced, however, will certainly get the "challenging, athletic workout" the tape promises. Instructor Lisa Bennett is cheerful as she conducts a vigorous series of sun salutes, balancing poses, backbends, hip and abdominal poses, and such; you'll keep moving almost constantly, and if breaking a sweat is your goal, you can't go wrong here. The overall tone, however, is rather like an infomercial, which could become irritating over repeated viewings. --Sam Graham

Limber and sweating - N. Rubin - los angeles, ca
This DVD was exactly what I was hoping for in a Power Yoga workout. It goes through a series of poses that not only stretch your muscles but also strengthen them. The legs get an excellent workout. I have used this at least a dozen times since I got it and have been able to see progress in both strength and flexibility. I have yet to master some of the poses but at least have progressed beyond collapsing from fatigue from some of the longer holds. The setting is a nice relaxing spot and the instructor has a nice soothing tone. She will remind you of how to correct yourself and will demonstrate on one of the students (one is performing the advanced variation while the other is performing the beginner variation).
The DVD itself has a function to choose which portions you want to skip to which is a great feature but isn't really useful for this workout. The series of poses that work the legs are 20 min per leg and are separated, so unless you only want to workout just one leg you are committed to 40 minutes.

Stability Ball Workout for Dummies

Product Details

One to two sets of 3-10lb dumbbells are recommended, along with the stability ball.

Stability Ball Workout for Dummies is an excellent introduction to working out on the ball. Even if you're a first-timer, friendly instructor Liz Gillies, starts with the basics. Then she leads a 45-minute workout of 15 different exercises that work all muscle groups and target the core muscles to keep you steady. Modifications make the exercises easier or more challenging, making this workout adaptable to different levels. In the friendly format of the For Dummies books, Stability Ball Workout for Dummies uses icons to indicate tips, safety cautions, "myth busters" (commonly misunderstood facts about exercise) and vocabulary. You'll need dumbbells and, of course, a stability ball. --Joan Price

Caution! Same as other Dummie Ball Workout! - barracuda - USA
I was looking for a similar workout to Liz Gilles On the Ball workout that was on VHS and was one of the best ball workouts I have ever found.
I purchased both Fat to Firm Ball workout for Dummies and Stability Ball workout for Dummies. Both by Gilles. They are exactly the same workout. So, I'm unhappy about that waste of money. For the workout itself, it was okay, nothing like I was looking for.

Excellent Information - L. Mansur - San Diego, CA
The DVD is complete, simple and very helpful for ideas about well being on a mental, spiritual and physical levels. I liked it so much that I plan to give friends copies of the DVD as an empowering gift for well-being.

The Book 3 IN 1 by the same author was and is also excellent (I am still reading it). It simplifies ones life and it makes sense about how to eat in harmoney and circumvent or solve those problems with craving.

I love both and recommend them highly.

Flashy but disappointing - Claire - Colorado Springs, CO
I didn't like the jazzy camera angles or color changes at the beginning of each section. Too much time is spent putting flashy images on the screen and you have to wait around for the workouts to start. I expected more from the Tai Chi workout, like actually feeling "focused, energized and refreshed!" as claimed on the cover. This workout was WAY too minimal. Not being familiar with aeroboxing or kickboxing, I'm not surprised that I couldn't keep up at first, but, I think Kathy's pace makes adjusting for your fitness level difficult. You really need to already be familiar with these moves, or at least really coordinated.

Basically, this purchase was a disappointment. I don't recommend it.

Dragonball: Evolution [Blu-ray]

Product Details

Genre: Action/Adventure
Rating: PG
Release Date: 28-JUL-2009
Media Type: Blu-Ray





Co-produced by Hong Kong legend Stephen Chow (Kung Fu Hustle), Dragonball Evolution is an agreeable if low-wattage live action adaptation of the iconic manga and anime series Dragon Ball. Director James Wong fuses the series’ fantasy-based characters and devices with a somewhat lackluster storyline involving average teen Goku (Justin Chatwin), who breaks from his wholesale pining for classmate Chi-Chi (Jamie Chung) to that he’s at the center of an intergalactic search for the all-powerful Dragonballs by evil warlord Piccolo (Buffy’s James Marsters). With the help of master Roshi (Chow Yun-Fat, who backburners his stoic screen image in favor of some God of Gamblers/Once a Thief-level hamminess), Goku develops his fighting skills to take on Piccolo and save the Earth. The film’s abundance of martial arts should please younger and less discerning viewers, but its hackneyed dialogue and sluggish pace (especially in the fight scenes, which stutter where they should flow) may disappoint longtime fans of the book and television adaptations. The CGI effects, which labor mightily to reproduce the source material’s eye-popping look, also fall short, though the cast is game, especially Marsters and Chow. -- Paul Gaita

fun if not accurate - Tony A - CA
I saw how many people reviewed this movie with one star. I understand their points, however, I thought it was a fun movie. The special effects were good, the action scenes were fun and there were alot of funny scenes. For a sub two hour movie, they introduced all of the characters and the basic concept of the dragonballs. I've seen episodes of the cartoon before but I never really got into it. Seeing it urged me to watch them and find out more about the story like how Goku got there 18 years ago and what happened with Piccolo that he wants revenge on the planet. Even if the characters didn't match completely with the cartoon series, I still found the characters to be engaging and fun.

Bonneville

Product Details

Faced with the decision of a lifetime, Arvilla Holden (Jessica Lange) hijacks her two best friends (Kathy Bates, Joan Allen) and sets off in a vintage '66 Bonneville convertible across the great American West to deliver her husband’s ashes to her step-daughter. What begins as a simple trip, will end up becoming a chance to rediscover themselves, their friendship, the importance of promises - and of living life to the fullest.

• ISBN13: 0024543511922
• Condition: NEW
• Notes: Brand New from Publisher. No Remainder Mark.

Sentimental, but not too sugary, Bonneville proves there's a road movie for every taste and demographic. While the testosterone-fueled Easy Rider took aim at the young and the disaffected, this female-centric offering targets a more mature, less cynical audience. After her husband, Joe, passes away, Arvilla (two-time Oscar winner Jessica Lange) faces the prospect of homelessness as he neglected to update his will. Her single-minded stepdaughter, Francine (Christine Baranski), now in possession of the property, intends to sell their Pocatello home if she doesn't hand over her father's ashes, so Arvilla and Mormon best friends Margene (Kathy Bates) and Carol (Joan Allen) pile into Joe's refurbished 1966 Bonneville Pontiac convertible with the urn and head to Santa Barbara. On their trip through Bryce Canyon, Lake Powell, the Vegas Strip, and other Western wonders, they meet helpful skateboarder Bo (Victor Rasuk, Raising Victor Vargas) and chivalrous trucker Emmett (Tom Skerritt), who takes a shine to the widowed Margene. Though nothing goes quite as planned, friendship helps smooth the bumpy ride from Idaho to California--and beyond. The characters in Bonneville may be older and wiser than the women of Thelma and Louise or Fried Green Tomatoes, in which Bates appeared, but this smaller-scale effort shares the same sisterly values and the central trio establishes a touching rapport. Supplements include a making-of featurette, deleted and alternate scenes, and a short gag reel. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
