Soundtrack English Partially constructed from the groundbreaking BBC and Discovery Channel television series PLANET EARTH, EARTH is a ravishing and often gut-wrenching tale of natural survival and beauty. Five years in the making (including 250 days of aerial footage shot from planes, helicopters, and two-man balloons) and narrated by actor James Earl Jones, EARTH follows the trials of three families of polar bears, elephants, and whales. Though separated by seasons and continents, each family will cross great lengths and confront numerous hardships: for the Arctic polar bears, it is an increasingly warming planet that melts the ice they need for a hunting platform; for the African elephants, hot desert conditions and hungry predators will stand in the way of reaching a lush delta; and for the Pacific humpback whales, their Antarctic migration will be fraught with rough waters and great white sharks. Along the way, EARTH takes us on a global tour of nature in all its colorful splendor and harrowing moments--from windswept tundra to teeming rainforests, from cheetahs running down their prey to ducklings taking first flight. And as each family struggles towards their much-needed feeding grounds, directors Alastair Fothergill and Mark Linfield ultimately show us that nature can be equally giving and unforgiving. Educational but never preachy, EARTH is an unprecedented invitation for adults and children alike to experience the everyday natural wonders that deserve our awe and safeguarding. Earth Reviews: "[A] gigantic collage of energy -- animals ceaselessly on the move in a planetary evolution that proceeds apace....The spectacle is stirring."Wall Street Journal "[F]ocused on the trials of three animal families....Though these three family groupings get star billing, EARTH has room for other animals as well, including several kinds of birds, baboons for comic relief and all those caribou."-- Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times "[T]he visual results are spectacular....Well worth seeing. Its depiction of the natural world is breathtaking and the animals and their behavior compelling."-- Claudia Puig, USA Today 3 stars out of 4 -- "What we see is astonishing....EARTH is filled with unexpected facts....Beautiful and worthwhile..."-- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "To watch the majesty of a shark snapping up a seal, or a panoramic time lapse of a field of trees blooming in spring and crumbling in winter, is to be struck by the fragility of life."-- Amy Nicholson, Box Office "EARTH's main virtue is its consistently spectacular cinematography. From the opening shots of white snow against a crisp blue sky, the images are rendered with dazzling, crystalline clarity."-- Stephen Farber, Hollywood Reporter Earth | List Price | $29.99 (You save $6.60) | | Studio | Buena Vista Home Entertainment | | Orig Year | 2009 | | All Time Sales Rank |  81821  | | CD Universe Part number | 7684744 | | Catalog number | 10072700 | | Discs | 1 | | Release Date | Sep 01, 2009 | | Rating | Not Rated | | Running Time | 90 Minutes | | Additional Info | Widescreen; Dubbed | | Movie Details | Color; Widescreen; Dubbed |

| | Grindhouse
Earth review
GRINDHOUSE is the cinematic equivalent of Bach and Beethoven adding their touch to a boy-band song. Master directors Quentin Tarantino (PULP FICTION) and Robert Rodriguez (SIN CITY) indulge their inner fanboys and team up for this homage to their favorite B-movies. Rodriguez's film, PLANET TERROR, is an old-fashioned zombie film that's infused with enough gore and giggles to please even Peter Jackson (BAD TASTE). Rose McGowan (CHARMED) plays Cherry, a go-go dancer whose night is interrupted by a vicious zombie attack that leaves her missing a leg. Her ex-boyfriend, Wray (Freddy Rodriguez, SIX FEET UNDER), takes charge, fashioning her a new leg from a machine gun and killing zombies along the way. In Tarantino's DEATH PROOF, Stuntman Mike (Kurt Russell) stalks beautiful women with his deadly vintage car. When he picks a trio of tough girls (Rosario Dawson, Tracie Thoms, and Zoe Bell), he learns they aren't such easy prey.
This double feature plays as a three-hour ode to the horror and exploitation films that once played in grimy grindhouses across the country. As with any Tarantino film, there are plenty of nods to pop culture, and this is no exception. Fellow horror directors Rob Zombie, Eli Roth, and Edgar Wright contribute fake trailers that are squeezed in between the two features. Genre fans will love seeing familiar faces such as Tom Savini, Danny Trejo, and Bill Moseley. Clearly Tarantino and Rodriguez were film lovers before they were filmmakers, and their passion for the medium is infectious. Those who can stomach GRINDHOUSE's high level of guns, guts, and gore are in for a treat. The hyper-violent films aren't for everyone, but three hours of film has rarely been this much fun.
