New DVD Releases for the Week of September 1 2009
Here is a list of the new DVD Releases for the week of September 1 2009, as well as my intentions to buy, rent, watch on TV, or skip (for TV on DVD releases head over to Daemon's TV):
Earth
Synopsis: The first film in the Disneynature series, "Earth," narrated by James Earl Jones, tells the remarkable story of three animal families and their amazing journey across the planet we all call home. "Earth" combines rare action, unimaginable scale and impossible locations by capturing the most intimate moments of our planet's wildest and most elusive creatures. Directors Alastair Fothergill and Mark Linfield, the acclaimed creative team behind the Emmy Award®-winning "Planet Earth," combine forces again to bring this epic adventure to the big screen.
Cast: James Earl Jones
Director: Alastair Fothergill and Mark Linfield
Recommendations: I didn't get to catch Earth in theaters, but I've been meaning to see it, so it's going into my Netflix list.
Buy it: EARTH on Amazon
Disneynature's EARTH Movie Trailer
Check out the trailer for DisneyNature's Earth.
When I saw the trailer, I had to share it with you. It's just so beautiful. I don't usually watch these types of documentary, but I gotta say that this one looks pretty incredible.
Earth will be released to theaters on April 22, 2009. Watch the trailer below.
Earth Synopsis: How well do we know our Planet?
This state-of-the-art movie, co-shot with the successful BBC TV series, will take us on a tour of our home as we have never seen it before.
Using the sun as a guide, we set out on a truly global journey. On the way, we meet three mothers struggling to bring up their young. In the Arctic, a polar bear and her two new born cubs awaken to the first sunlight of spring. Will they find food before the ice on which they live melts?
Half a world away, in the heat of Kalahari, an elephant mother and her calf find water after a danger-filled trek across the desert. But they must share the pool with a pride of lions.
For the final leg of the journey, we follow a humpback whale mother. She must keep her calf safe on their 4,000 mile migration form the equator to Antarctica.
And so life on Earth goes on. A story played out billions of times a day, 365 days a year, as the Earth movies through seasons, every living creature bending to the power of the sun. No film has ever captured the epic scope of the drama of an entire planet, yet told it with heart-breaking and heart-warming intimacy of real animal characters. Until now...
