"Titanic" Celebrates 10th Anniversary of its Maiden Voyage into Theaters

"Titanic" is considered by some to be one of the greatest fictitious love stories of all time and with the special 10th Anniversary DVD release, new and old fans alike can appreciate the beauty of this film again.

Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet star as "Jack" and "Rose," two free spirits from opposite sides of the tracks who meet on the maiden voyage of the "Titanic." Although Rose is engaged when she begins the journey, she's not in love with her fiancé and has spent her whole life doing what is expected of her and not what makes her happy. When she meets Jack whose life is exactly the opposite, she can't help but be intrigued.

The two spend most of the movie finding ways to spend time with each other and falling in love. Their happiness is short lived as the unthinkable happens when the unsinkable ship starts sinking. Their story soon becomes one of life and death as the two try to survive the wreck of the great vessel.

Director James Cameron made this movie as a labor of love and that is evident in the spectacular filming and attention to detail. There are times when you feel like you are actually on the ship which is a true testament to why this movie deserves the 11 Academy Awards it won.

Bonus features include commentaries by James Cameron and Kate Winslet. There is also a behind-the scenes- featurette and the music video to "My Heart Will Go On."

Ratatouille Moves From the Kitchen to Your TV!

By: Megan Jude

Pixar has definitely done it again!

Their newest DVD release, Ratatouille, is an animation force to be reckoned with. The dazzling techniques paired with vibrant colors allows for audiences to be taken on a wild, and sometimes heart wrenching, saga with a French rat trying to pursue his dreams.

Although it seems to be a children's movie at first glance, we all can quickly identify with Remy (voice by Patton Oswalt), who has larger than life dreams of becoming a French chef. Shot down by those around him and soon separated from his family, Remy takes on the challenge of doing whatever it takes to make his dream come true, even if that means hiding out in kitchens at night and taking advantage of an untalented French boy named Linguini (Lou Romano). This clever little movie will leave you with a stomachache by the end, from laughing too hard!

Ratatouille is, by far, the most inventive story in recent years. The film strives to give young and old audiences alike the motivation to never give up on your dreams, no matter how big, or small, you may be. Through the amazing visuals and over the top circumstances, Pixar has brought to life a movie that people (and rats!) of all ages can enjoy.



Bonus Features include a short film titled "Your Friend The Rat," deleted scenes from the movie, another PIXAR short film titled "Lifted," a conversation about food and film with film-maker Brad Bird and chef Thomas Keller, plus more surprises!

"My So Called Life" Gets Another Go Round on DVD!

Ever so often… a television show gets absolutely everything right and unfortunately, ABC didn't know what a jewel it had until it was too late. "My So Called Life" premiered in August of 1994 and featured a cast of unknown up and comers including the now famous actress, Clare Daines, and music/movie star Jared Leto.

"MSCL" followed the daily ins-and-outs of typical teen "Angela Chase" (Danes) as she navigated High School. Making new friends her parents didn't approve of and trying to get closer to bad boy "Jordan Catalano" were just two of the catalyst for Angela's life changing journey. Millions of teens watched the series (later it ran on MTV) and shouted "This is just like me!"

The shows brutally honest look at teen living might have scarred the more wholesome ABC network into pulling the plug on this series way too soon. Only 19 original episodes were filmed, leaving fans heartbroken.

Rejoicing now, longtime fans of the series and those who have heard about its greatness are rushing to stores to buy the series on DVD. The six-disc set includes one whole disc of nothing but bonus features. Go behind the scenes with cast and creators in the "My So Called Life Story." Watch a 1995 panel discussion on the series from the Museum of Television and Radio. Flip through a 40 page book dedicated to the series, complete with cast photos and an introduction by the shows creator. Watch an exclusive interview with Claire Danes. All that and lots, lots, more that you will just have to discover on the disc!

To get an idea of what you are missing… check out the following clips then go and tell your parents to add this to your Christmas list. Teenage drama never looked this good or hit so close to home!

Two Disney Channels Favorites Come to DVD!

The Disney Channel knows that fans can't get enough of their movies and series so they decided to put fan favorites out on DVD to be watched over and over again… any time and any place! Hitting the shelves right now are "Hannah Montana: Life's What You Make It" and "Johnny Kapahala: Back on Board."

"Johnny Kapahala: Back on Board" is an original Disney Channel movie that serves as a sequel to the hit movie "Johnny Tsunami." Returning as "Johnny," Brandon Baker finds himself faced with more challenges when his family returns to Hawaii for his grandfather's wedding. Though he is a champion in the surfing and snowboarding areas, the new sport is dirtboarding and Johnny never shies away from a challenge, even if it is a dangerous one.

Johnny learns a lot about sports, life, and himself in this crazy adventure that will have you rooting for the outsider. You just might see a little of yourself in this movie, even if you don't dirtboard either.

Bonus features on this disc will give viewers a chance to become stunt coordinators and see how the filmmakers captured all the action. Fans will also get excited about the music videos from the Jonas Brothers and T-squad.

Unless you have been living under a rock lately (or if there is no one under the age of 16 in your house), you have probably heard of "Hannah Montana." Miley Cyrus plays "Miley Stewart" a teenager who by day is your average, ordinary, High School student, but after school… she is Pop Super Star "Hannah Montana!" This hilarious look at life for this talented girl who knows what she wants to do as a career but doesn't want to give up her private family life has become one of the most successful programs in Disney history.

New to video is a compilation of episodes titled "Life's What You Make it." The four episodes on the disc include "Achy Jakey Heart: Parts One and Two," "I am Hannah, Hear Me Croak," and "I Want You To Want Me… to Go to Florida." It's in these episodes that Miley must decide if she wants to date fellow super star "Jake Ryan," and whether or not she should tell him that she is "Hannah Montana." She also learns a valuable lesson about putting family's feelings before her own when her Dad gets a great chance to revive his musical career. "Hannah Montana" is fun for the teens to watch but I have also heard grown adults laughing out loud when "Miley" and her friends get themselves into sticky situations.

This disc also has bonus features including a "Backstage Pass to the secrets of Hannah Montana" where Miley and the Cast talk secrets and secret keepers. It also includes the touching music video "Ready, Set, Don't Go," from Miley's onscreen and real life Dad, Billy Ray Cyrus.

These are two great DVD's that any teen would be lucky to find under their tree!

The wait is over! "Transformers" Movie Comes to DVD!

One of the most highly anticipated DVD releases of the year has finally hit the shelves! "Transformers" is ready to make audiences as excited in their own living room as they were while watching the blockbuster smash on the big screen earlier this year.

Some fans of the movie have been waiting for this story to make a big screen debut for 20 years as the show was once a cartoon (in the 80's) that featured Optimus Prime and his band of good guys battling Megatron and his evil Decepticons. The film version was a masterful blend of great story telling with unbelievable special effects that brought the Autobots to life in a way that only today's technology could achieve.

The film version starts with an invasion on Earth from the Decepticons who have come to the planet seeking pieces to a puzzle that could return all power to them and destroy Earth as we know it. The key to their search is Sam Witwicky, (brilliantly played by Shia LaBeouf) a not-so-popular teenager who is just trying to make enough money to buy a car. Sam unknowingly posses the information that the Autobots are searching for because he is in possession of artifacts that once belonged to his great grandfather, an Arctic explorer who unknowingly stumbled upon Megatron and learned valuable information regarding the Transformers battle between the two sides of Autobots.

When Sam buys his first car, he is actually buying an Autobot and when he uses the car to try to impress the girl of his dreams (the talented Megan Fox), the two are sucked into a wild, Earth saving adventure that leaves you breathless and wanting more.

The Deluxe Edition of the DVD is a two-disc set that features a lot of bonus material including a commentary by director, Michael Bay. The set also includes two extensive documentaries titled "Our World" and "Their War." The first showing how the human side of the movie was made (casting, training etc.) and the latter shows how special effects were used to bring the Transformers to life.

In anticipation of the release, Paramount Pictures Home Entertainment has collaborated with two different Web sites that are must visits for new and old fans. The first can be found at www.transformersmovie.com/suityourself. Here you can upload a photo of yourself and turn yourself into your favorite Transformer. The second site will amaze any fan when they receive a call from Optimus Prime! That's right - Optimus himself will give you or a friend a call. You can find that Web site at: http://optimus.transformersmovie.com.

This movie is a must-see for anyone who enjoys great movies. It's funny and sweet and action packed, has a great story, and all those elements that make movies the escape that they are supposed to be. There might be a little too much violence for the younger set but most people 12 or older will find this an exciting ride. Like the characters it showcases there is more to this film than meets the eye.

The First Season of "Ugly Betty" on DVD

Reviewed by: Susan J. Yeager

When last year's new fall season was announced, I poured over all the shows like I usually do and tried to figure out which ones that I should watch. Reasoning that I spent too much time watching television already, I was going to cut back a little. "Ugly Betty" caught my eye.

The set-up for the series sounded to me a lot like "The Devil Wears Prada." A girl who could care less about fashion is hired as an assistant to a mean boss and has to work on a daily basis in an environment full of perfect, pretty people. "Ugly Betty" takes it a step farther by having the lead character be somewhat less attractive (in terms of looks) than her co-workers.

I meant to watch the show. I really did. I even taped every episode. (How very "Betty like" of me to still be using VHS and not DVD or TIVO). Also "Betty" of me, I had no idea where all the tapes ended up and couldn't begin to watch them in order. At some point I realized… I think I was afraid to watch "Ugly Betty" because I was afraid I WAS "Ugly Betty."

Yet with the help of the great invention of television on DVD, the complete first season arrived to be reviewed. There it was, all in order, complete with bonus features, in one box. I had no excuses now. So I popped the first disc in.

When we first meet "Betty Suarez," she is just out of college and looking for her first real job. She lives at home with her loving father "Ignacio", her wild sister "Hilda," and her fashion and musical-loving, nephew "Justin." Betty is a dreamer and sees herself writing for a magazine someday. To get her foot in the door, she applies at Meade Publications. It's perfect timing because Meade owner and CEO "Bradford Meade" has just hired his partying, girl-chasing, son "Daniel" to run the company's super popular fashion magazine Mode. Hoping that this responsibility will help his son grow up, Bradford hires Betty to be Daniel's assistant. Just happy to be hired to work for such an amazing magazine, Betty is oblivious to the fact that she was only hired so Daniel wouldn't be tempted to chase after yet another assistant.

Within her first five minutes there, everyone can tell that Betty is the outsider. The people that work at Mode are a size 0 that must dress in the latest styles and Betty clearly looks different and has a different sense of style. However, the thing that really sets her apart is that most of her co-workers are self-centered, vicious, cruel individuals that will do anything to get ahead in the corporate world. By contrast, Betty is sensible, loving, has her priorities in order, and is a level headed thinker in the center of their self-imposed chaos.

The contrast makes for great television. "Ugly Betty" manages to create such evil characters that you love to watch the trouble they try to make. The show manages to balance that with characters that are so likable that you have to root for them… most especially Betty. She never comprises her ideals or her decency and who's moral compass seems to have direction for everyone who comes in contact with her.

The only problem that I had with having this show released to DVD is that it is completely addictive and it is almost impossible to get anything else accomplished because you just want to get back to the TV and get a "Betty" fix. The set also contains some great bonus items like scenes that were deleted from the shows that aired and a blooper real that is hysterical. And wait! There's more! The cast and crew also take you behind the scenes to show you what it takes to make each episode.

Buy it now and get caught up before the second season of the show premieres on ABC on September 27 at 8:00 PM. I can't believe we have to wait that long!

"Ugly Betty" has managed to take a light hearted look at an age-old problem. How will we ever get people to stop judging a book by its cover and look at the whole package? We give kudos to America Ferrera and the rest of the cast for fearlessly bringing these characters to life and getting the point across so beautifully.

I can't believe that I didn't jump on the "Betty" bandwagon sooner. Yes, like I suspected, I have a lot in common with the title character. Prior to watching the show, however, I just didn't realize how lucky I was to be a "Betty."

“Bridge to Terabithia” Now on DVD!
by: Susan J. Yeager

“Bridge to Terabithia” is now available on DVD, however, the timeless story of two children who create a whole new world has been leaving a lasting impression on readers for three decades.

The book was written by Katherine Paterson and was printed in 1977. A year later, it received the Newbery Medal (an honor given to outstanding Children’s literature). With such well developed characters going on such grand adventures, it seems only right that Disney would decide to bring it to the big screen and now make it available for every home.

When the story begins, the audience meets Jesse Aarons, an aspiring artist who doesn’t quite fit in home (he’s the only boy with four sisters) or school (he is often picked on by bullies). Lonely and with no one to talk too, he finds himself bonding with the new girl at school named Leslie.

Leslie is quite a storyteller and when the friends discover uninhabited woods, their imaginations turn the land into a magical place called “Terabithia.” In “Terabithia,” Leslie and Jesse can make the rules and the two start going there to discuss the problems that most kids face while growing up.

The story takes on a heavy subject matter that provides a good opportunity for parents to discuss life changing events with children. This is definitely a film that should be watched by the whole family and talked about afterwards.

Josh Hutcherson and AnnaSophia Robb brilliantly bring “Jesse” and “Leslie” to life in this film version and playing “Jesse’s” sister “May Belle,” young Bailee Madison steals almost every scene in which she is featured. The filmmakers do a great job creating a fantasy world and the real world in which two so called “outcasts” discover a rare friendship that the “cool” kids could only dream about.

Pick up a copy of this DVD and be prepared to be another person that is spellbound by the magic of “Terabithia.” The legacy of leaving a lasting impression will continue now with everyone who watches this film.
