“Best of the Bunch” – People Magazine 

“Great fun…equally enjoyable by kids and adult comic fans alike” – MTV.com 

It’s no small job protecting Super Hero City from the wild, weird (& even wacky) villainy of Villainville’s infamous baddies… but Iron Man, Wolverine, the Hulk, the Silver Surfer, Thor and the Falcon are always up for the job. Shouting “Hero Up!” as they rush into battle, the Squad must keep Dr. Doom’s minions from gathering pieces of the Infinity Sword. Otherwise, Doom will use the Sword to rule the universe! Luckily, the City is filled with Marvel Super Hero guest-stars to help out in a pinch. These brave heroes totally deliver the action – but with plenty of humor on the side.

Amelia DVD Review

After watching this movie we found it to be a very educational film.  The movie seemed to capture everything that most people would know from what they may have learned in school.  The movie made Hilary Swank, and Richard Gere performed very well.  The scenery in the movie was stunning.  The costumes fit the period well.

HILARY SWANK AND RICHARD GERE TAKE FLIGHT IN

 

Inspirational & Romantic Journey Of Adored American Heroine Soars To Blu-ray Disc With Digital Copy And DVD February 2

LOS ANGELES, CA. – Experience the romance, struggle and triumph of legendary aviatrix Amelia Earhart as she chases love and lives her dreams in Amelia, landing on Blu-ray Disc with Digital Copy and DVD February 2 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. Hailed as “The Queen of the Air,” Amelia boldly flew into the annals of history with her solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean.  Bound by ambition and love, her enduring marriage to George Putnam could not be broken by her determination to fly, or a secret passionate affair. Equal parts gripping drama, stirring romance and epic adventure, Amelia will take your breath away and send your spirit soaring!

Directed by Mira Nair (Vanity Fair, Moonsoon Wedding), Amelia stars two-time Academy Award® winner Hilary Swank (Million Dollar Baby, Boys Don’t Cry), Golden Globe® winner Richard Gere (Chicago, Pretty Woman) and Golden Globe® nominee Ewan McGregor (Moulin Rouge).

The Amelia Blu-ray Disc and DVD include deleted scenes, behind-the-scenes footage, Fox Movie Channel specials and more. Amelia will be available on Blu-ray Disc with Digital Copy for the suggested retail price of $39.99 U.S. / $49.99 Canada and Standard DVD for $29.98 U.S. / $43.48 Canada.

G-Force DVD & BluRay Review

My little one loves movies about animals.  When she saw this movie she absolutelly loved it.  She has a guinea pig, and found the movie very funny.  This is a must have for children, and also adults.

 A Must-Own Blu-ray Combo Pack out on December 15!

 This Coming Holiday Season, Families Can Look Forward To Watching Their Favorite Pack of Guinea Pigs Anytime, Anywhere & On the Format Of Their Choice

Burbank, Calif., September 25, 2009 – Charging home on December 15th comes Walt Disney Pictures’ actionpacked comedy-adventure G-Force. Packaged as an exciting Disney “Combo Pack” (a Blu-ray™ + DVD + DisneyFile Digital Copy of the movie in a single package), families can finally look forward to enjoying this thrilling story about a covert group of feisty furball Guinea Pigs anytime, anywhere and on a compatible format of their choice –Blu-ray player, car, PC and/or portable device.

Produced by Jerry Bruckheimer (National Treasure, Pirates of the Caribbean), G-Force takes audiences on a deliriously entertaining thrill ride with a whole new breed of hero, featuring a stellar cast including Nicolas Cage (National Treasure), Sam Rockwell (Moon), Jon Favreau (I Love You, Man), Penelope Cruz (Vicky Christina Barcelona), Tracy Morgan (“30 Rock”), and Steve Buscemi (Charlotte’s Web), with live performances by Bill Nighy (Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End), Will Arnett (Ratatouille) and Zak Galifianakis (The Hangover). Academy Award®-winning visual effects master Hoyt H. Yeatman, Jr. (1989 winner for Best Effects; Visual Effects, The Abyss) makes his directing debut.

Destined to be the family comedy hit of the season, and released just in time for the holidays, G-Force includes a fascinating line-up of behind-the-scenes features, hilarious deleted movie scenes and a collection of music videos featuring songs from the film. And exclusively for Blu-ray owners, there are three CGI effect bonus features that will satisfy their quest to join the rodent spy world.

Deluxe DVD and Blu-ray Hi-Def Bonus Features:

• Audio Commentary—with director Hoyt H. Yeatman, Jr.

• Blasters Boot Camp—Blaster (Tracy Morgan) gives viewers a high-energy, high-tech orientation into the elite world of the G-Force.

• G-Force Mastermind—Hollywood legend Jerry Bruckheimer and CG effects whiz Hoyt H. Yeatman, Jr. reveal the inspiration for this exciting adventure.

• G-Farce: Bloopers—A collection of light-hearted flubs from the set that prove to err is not only human!

• Deleted Scenes

• Three Music Videos:

o “Jump” by Flo Rida featuring Nelly Furtado

o “Ready To Rock” by Steve Rushton

o “Go G-Force”

Exclusive Blu-ray Hi-Def Bonus Features:

• Bruckheimer Animated—A retrospective of groundbreaking computer graphic effects in the work of Jerry Bruckheimer, plus an inside peek into the top-secret creation of G-Force’s state-of-the-art visual magic.

• Access Granted: Inside the Animation Lab—Director and computer graphic master Yeatman Jr., takes viewers on an exclusive tour of the high-security facility and shows how the G-Force was animated from initial sketches to completed performances.

A top-secret, highly trained trio of guinea pig super spies is assigned to stop a dastardly plot to take over the world in G-Force, a gorgeously rendered CGI adventure from famed producer Jerry Bruckheimer. Squad leader Darwin (voiced by Sam Rockwell) will do what it takes to guarantee the success of his team, which also includes Blaster (Tracy Morgan), an outrageous weapons expert with tons of attitude, and Juarez (Penelope Cruz), gorgeous martial arts pro. With the help of Speckles (Nicolas Cage), a star-nosed mole, and myriad other members of the animal kingdom, the G-Force tries to derail evil appliance mogul Leonard Saber’s power grab. It helps when your fly-on-the wall reconnaissance expert is, well, a fly on the wall!

G-Force has a suggested retail price of $44.99 (US) and $51.99 (Canada) for the Blu-ray™ Combo Pack, $39.99 (US) and $44.99 (Canada) for the 2-Disc DVD with a DisneyFile Digital Copy of the movie, and $29.99 (US) and $35.99 (Canada) for the 1-Disc DVD.
