<p>Lionsgate’s <strong><em>The Hunger Games</em></strong> juggernaut will arrive on home entertainment at 12:01 A.M. on Saturday, August 18, as the first film in Lionsgate’s (NYSE: LGF) <strong><em>The Hunger Games</em> </strong>franchise, which has already grossed nearly $400 million at the North American box office and is approaching $650 million at the worldwide box office, debuts on 2-disc DVD (plus digital copy), 2-disc Blu-Ray (plus digital copy), VOD and digital download with three hours of previously unavailable bonus materials in the biggest home entertainment launch in Lionsgate’s history, the Company announced today.</p>
<p>The film, based on the <em>New York Times</em> best-selling novel from writer Suzanne Collins, achieved a remarkable four-week run as the #1 film at the North American theatrical box office where it has already grossed $392 million, ranking as the 14<sup>th</sup> highest-grossing film of all time, and it is approaching $650 million at the worldwide box office with an early June opening slated in China.</p>
<p><object width="560" height="360" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/H9qHbXgrkf8?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed width="560" height="360" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/H9qHbXgrkf8?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0" allowFullScreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" /></object></p>
<p>The 2-disc Blu-ray and 2-disc DVD arrive loaded with over three hours of extensive bonus materials including the comprehensive eight-part documentary, “The World is Watching: Making of <em>The Hunger Games</em>.” Other special features include a sit-down conversation with director Gary Ross as well as numerous featurettes that examine the global success of the books, the creation of the control room in the film and the filmmakers’ motivation behind creating new scenes that were not in the book plus much more.  The Blu-ray Disc set contains an additional exclusive feature, “Preparing for the Games: A Director’s Process,” which looks at the progression of taking three key scenes from the book to the screen. <strong><em>The Hunger Games</em></strong> Blu-ray Disc and DVD is a must-have film that is hailed as “exciting and thought-provoking in a way few adventure dramas ever are” (<span style="text-decoration: underline;">New York Daily News</span>).  Fans will be able to pre-order the Blu-ray Disc and DVD, starting on Friday, May 25<sup>th</sup>, for $39.99 and $30.98, respectively.</p>
<p>“The motion picture event of the year is poised to become the home entertainment event of the year and, with a midnight launch and midnight retail events scheduled at stores around the country, we expect to replicate the same level of consumer excitement generated by the film’s theatrical debut,” said Ron Schwartz, Lionsgate Executive Vice President &amp; General Manager, Home Entertainment.  “This is far and away the biggest home entertainment launch in Lionsgate’s history and, true to a theatrical marketing campaign that incorporated an unprecedented reliance on digital and traditional media alike, our home entertainment launch will involve a similarly innovative and integrated digital and packaged media rollout that we will unveil in the weeks ahead.”</p>
<p>Directed by Academy Award<sup>®</sup> nominee Gary Ross (<em>Seabiscuit</em>), <strong><em>The Hunger Games</em></strong>, starring Academy Award<sup>®</sup> nominee Jennifer Lawrence (<em>Winter’s Bone</em>), features an ensemble cast that includes Golden Globe<sup>® </sup>winner Donald Sutherland (<em>Citizen X</em>), Academy Award<sup>®</sup> nominee Stanley Tucci (<em>The Lovely Bones</em>), Academy Award<sup>®</sup> nominee Woody Harrelson (<em>The People vs. Larry Flynt</em>), Lenny Kravitz (<em>Precious</em>) and Emmy<sup>® </sup>nominee Elizabeth Banks (TV’s “30 Rock”). The film also stars some of the industry’s brightest up and coming actors such as Josh Hutcherson (<em>The Kids Are All Right</em>) and Liam Hemsworth (<em>The Expendables 2</em>).</p>
<p><strong><em>The Hunger Games</em></strong> is the first in a trilogy of books published by Scholastic that has already become a literary phenomenon with over 36.5 million copies in circulation.  Set in the future, one male and one female from each of the twelve districts of the nation is forced to participate in the annual competition called The Hunger Games, which is broadcast live throughout the country for the entertainment of the Capitol’s wealthy residents. Sixteen year old Katniss Everdeen (Lawrence) volunteers in her younger sister’s place to enter the games, and is forced to rely upon her sharp instincts as well as the mentorship of drunken former victor Haymitch Abernathy when she’s pitted against highly-trained Tributes who have prepared for these Games their entire lives.  If she’s ever to return home to District 12, Katniss must make impossible choices in the arena that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.</p>

<p><strong><em>Once upon a time…or maybe twice…there was an unearthly paradise called Pepperland…</em></strong></p>
<p>The Beatles’ classic 1968 animated feature film, <strong><em>Yellow Submarine</em></strong>, has been digitally restored for DVD and Blu-ray release on <strong>June 5th</strong> in North America. The film’s songtrack album will be reissued on CD on the same date.</p>
<p>Currently out of print, the film has been restored in 4K digital resolution for the first time by Paul Rutan Jr. and his team of specialists at Triage Motion Picture Services and Eque Inc. Due to the delicate nature of the hand-drawn original artwork, no automated software was used in the digital clean-up of the film’s restored photochemical elements. This was all done by hand, frame by frame.</p>
<p>Bonus features for the <strong><em>Yellow Submarine</em></strong> DVD and Blu-ray include a short making-of documentary titled “Mod Odyssey” (TRT: 7:30), the film’s original theatrical trailer, audio commentary by producer John Coates and art director Heinz Edelmann, several brief interview clips with others involved with the film, storyboard sequences, 29 original pencil drawings and 30 behind-the-scenes photos. Both Digipak packages will include reproductions of animation cels from the film, collectible stickers, and a 16-page booklet with a new essay by <em>Yellow Submarine</em> aficionado John Lasseter (Chief Creative Officer, Walt Disney and Pixar Animation Studios).</p>
<p>Lasseter writes in his essay, “As a fan of animation and as a filmmaker, I tip my hat to the artists of <strong><em>Yellow Submarine</em></strong>, whose revolutionary work helped pave the way for the fantastically diverse world of animation that we all enjoy today.”</p>
<h5 style="text-align: center;">Enter for a chance to win <strong><em>Yellow Submarine.</em></strong></h5>
<p>OFFICIAL RULES:</p>
<p>1. YOU MUST BE A US RESIDENT. PRIZE WILL ONLY BE SHIPPED TO US ADDRESSES.</p>

<p>Directed by George Dunning, and written by Lee Minoff, Al Brodax, Jack Mendelsohn and Erich Segal, <strong><em>Yellow Submarine</em></strong> began its voyage to the screen when Brodax, who had previously produced nearly 40 episodes of ABC’s animated Beatles TV series, approached The Beatles’ manager Brian Epstein with a unique vision for a full-length animated feature.</p>
<p><strong><em>Yellow Submarine</em></strong>, based upon a song by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, is a fantastic tale brimming with peace, love, and hope, propelled by Beatles songs, including “Eleanor Rigby,” “When I’m Sixty-Four,” “Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds,” “All You Need Is Love,” and “It’s All Too Much.”  When the film debuted in 1968, it was instantly recognised as a landmark achievement, revolutionising a genre by integrating the freestyle approach of the era with innovative animation techniques.</p>
<p>Inspired by the generation’s new trends in art, the film resides with the dazzling Pop Art styles of Andy Warhol, Martin Sharp, Alan Aldridge and Peter Blake. With art direction and production design by Heinz Edelmann,<strong> <em>Yellow Submarine</em></strong> is a classic of animated cinema, featuring the creative work of animation directors Robert Balser and Jack Stokes with a team of animators and technical artists.</p>
<p>“I thought from the very beginning that the film should be a series of interconnected shorts” remembered Edelmann. “The style should vary every five minutes or so to keep the interest going until the end.”  These styles included melding live-action photography with animation, 3-dimensional sequences and kaleidoscopic “rotoscoping” where film is traced frame by frame into drawings.  The entire process took nearly two years, 14 different scripts, 40 animators and 140 technical artists, ultimately producing a groundbreaking triumph of animation.</p>
<p>On April 24, Candlewick Press released a new, compact hardcover edition of the <strong><em>Yellow Submarine</em></strong> picture book, a read-aloud journey for the whole family. Featuring the lighthearted wit of the film’s script alongside original artwork from the movie that has charmed children and adults through several generations, the beautiful, 40-page book will be sold by retailers everywhere and on the Beatles Store (<span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><a href="http://www.thebeatles.com/"><span style="color: #ff0000;">www.thebeatles.com</span></a></strong></span>). An interactive digital version of the book is also available as a free download on Apple&#8217;s iBookstore for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch at <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><a href="http://www.itunes.com/TheBeatles"><span style="color: #ff0000;">www.iTunes.com/TheBeatles</span></a></strong></span>.</p>

<p><strong><em>Yellow Submarine</em></strong><strong> synopsis:</strong></p>
<p>Once upon a time… or maybe twice, there was an unearthly paradise called Pepperland, a place where happiness and music reigned supreme. But all that was threatened when the terrible Blue Meanies declared war and sent in their army led by a menacing Flying Glove to destroy all that was good.  Enter John, Paul, George and Ringo to save the day! Armed with little more than their humour, songs, and of course, their yellow submarine, The Beatles tackle the rough seas ahead in an effort to bring down the evil forces of bluedom.</p>

<p>Action star extraordinaire Arnold Schwarzenegger is perfectly cast as Quaid, a construction worker haunted by dreams of Mars in the year 2084.  Against the wishes of his sexy wife (Sharon Stone), Quaid goes to Rekall, a company that implants artificial memories so he can “remember” visiting the red planet that is now being settled by human inhabitants. However, Quaid soon learns he is actually an amnesiac secret agent from Mars – or is he?</p>

<p><strong>The Movie:</strong> From the very first moments of THE GREY, there is a stark realization that the stark bleakness of the film&#8217;s setting is directly complimentary to the story being told. The cold, harsh, brutal weather of the northernmost wilderness sets the stage for a tragic journey of survival. Co-written and directed by <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0138620/" target="_blank">Joe Carnahan</a> (SMOKIN&#8217; ACES, THE A-TEAM) and written by <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2259451/" target="_blank">Ian MacKenzie Jeffers</a>, the film is adapted from Jeffers&#8217; short story entitled &#8220;Ghost Walker.&#8221;</p>
<p>THE GREY, at it&#8217;s most primal, is a story of man versus nature, but more specifically man versus beast, as a handful of oil workers who survive a place crash must battle the bitter cold and a relentless and hungry pack of wolves for survival. Led by Ottway, the group of men must comes to terms with each other and their own demons as they witness their own numbers gradually decline by the fangs of their canine counterparts. On this level, THE GREY is a terrifyingly horrific tale of a scenario far too easy to imagine in real life. On the other hand, THE GREY is a curiously uplifting human saga that carries with it a certain amount of triumph and epiphanal</p>
<p><a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000553/" target="_blank">Liam Neeson</a> (TAKEN, UNKNOWN) plays Ottway, a poacher with a guilty conscience working security for an oil company in the great white north, tasked with keeping the savage wild wolves from making the workers their lunch. Ottway is an intelligent, tough and resourceful man. He is a peaceful man by nature, but not a man you&#8217;d want to make angry. Neeson gives Ottway a quiet intensity that defines the role, creating a character that an audience admires and cares about, despite his gruff demeanor. Neeson is an actor that can say as much with his face as he can with words and this role is no exception.</p>
<p>The group of survivors led by Ottway includes Diaz (<a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0342029/" target="_blank">Frank Grillo</a>), Hendrick (<a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1316767/" target="_blank">Dallas Roberts</a>), Flannery (<a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1725848/" target="_blank">Joe Anderson</a>), Burke (<a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1996829/" target="_blank">Nonso Anozie</a>), Hernandez (<a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0004554/" target="_blank">Ben Bray</a>), Lewenden (<a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0197647/" target="_blank">James Badge Dale</a>), and Talget (<a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000551/" target="_blank">Dermot Mulroney</a>). This small group of hardened men, some weak and some strong, clash as often as they unite in their combines struggle. Each of them have something to lose, something they long to return to, except for Ottway who seems resigned to imminent death, willing to let that fate overcome him if not for his ingrained sense of duty to ensuring the survival of the other men.</p>
<p>THE GREY is an extremely well written, well directed and well acted film, but a great injustice would be done if I were not to apply due emphasis on the look and sound of this fantastic film. Cinematographer <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1086687/" target="_blank">Masanobu Takayanagi</a> (WARRIOR) captures the Alaskan wild with unflinching realism, setting aside the more serene, peacefully dangerous depiction of films like INTO THE WILD for a barren, unruly landscape brutalized by blistering winds and blinding horizontal snowfall. Much of the most brutal weather depicted in THE GREY was captured on locations without the assistance of fans or special effects, a frightening thought in and of itself. The landscape becomes a character, another antagonist through the lens of a master cinematographer. Composer <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0834199/" target="_blank">Marc Steitenfeld</a>, whose work will soon be featured in Ridley Scott&#8217;s upcoming PROMETHEUS, indulges the audience with a score so fittingly bleak while also subtly emotional that it&#8217;s presence is as equally easy to overlook as it is significant to the film&#8217;s success. However, Carnahan understands the appropriate use of this tool when he chose to leave the music out of the mix during what is perhaps the best scene in the entire film.</p>
<p>While there is plenty of wilderness action, suspense and beastly terror, THE GREY shines most vividly in it&#8217;s most human moments. One of these moments is during Ottway&#8217;s reflection on his relationship with his father and a simple but powerful poem his father wrote for him as a boy. This poem carries a great deal of weight throughout the film. The other is perhaps one of the best, most realistic and thoughtful depictions of death as it occurs I have seen in many years on film. This moment takes place shortly after the plane crash occurs and offers a fascinating insight into Ottway and his perspective on life. Overall, THE GREY is as touching as it is frightening, it is as much a sad film as it is a testament to hope and personal strength. It is a film about the human will.</p>
<p><strong>The Extras:</strong> THE GREY blu-ray doesn&#8217;t have a ton of special features, but what it does have proves to be worth watching. Hey, it&#8217;s better than nothing, which is hos far too many films gets packaged to blu-ray in a rush to capture home viewing sales. Start out your blu-ray experience by watching the film (of course) unless you saw THE GREY in the theater. If so, jump directly to the <strong>deleted scenes</strong> &#8212; six in total &#8212; where you&#8217;ll get a healthy serving of scenes cut from the finished film. These deleted scenes do not come with an optional commentary, however some of these scenes are actually addressed in the feature-length audio commentary.</p>
<p>The feature-length <strong>audio commentary</strong> for THE GREY is a good time, recorded with co-writer/director Joe Carnahan and editors Roger Barton and Jason Hellmann. From the very beginning, it&#8217;s clear that you&#8217;ll have a good time listening to these laid back filmmakers. Joe Carnahan shakes his glass of ice, pointing out that they&#8217;re enjoying some Scotch while recording the commentary and what follows is a string of interesting, often humorous, anecdotes and off-the-cuff remarks about the filmmaking process and those involved.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; MINOR SPOILERS BELOW &lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;</strong></p>
<p>One of the most interesting things gleaned from the audio commentary comes from Joe Carnahan, when he explains how after seeing the film, his wife suggests that Ottway (Liam Neeson) is the only survivor of the plane crash and the other survivors are merely facets of his own mind, projections of different aspects of his personality, whereas as not only is Ottway in a struggle against nature &#8212; the cold/the wolves &#8212; but, that he is also in a struggle with himself. Carnahan goes on to explain how he had never thought of this prior to his wife pointing this out, but that it had a significant affect on how he viewed his own film afterward. I have to agree, as I watched the film again after enjoying the commentary. Viewing the film with this concept in mind changes the experience and gives the film a noticeably different appeal, less focused on the action and suspense and allows the viewer to delve deeper into the philosophical implications of the story.</p>
<p>Finally, THE GREY blu-ray also touts the following &#8220;bonus features&#8221; as described by Universal:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>UltraViolet</strong></li>
<li><strong>Digital Copy</strong></li>

<p>Disney brings to life an iconic hero, John Carter, in a visually stunning new world with heart-pounding action. The heroic epic adventure “<strong>John Carter</strong>” arrives on Disney Blu-ray Combo Pack, Blu-ray 3D™, HD Digital, DVD and On-Demand <strong>June 5, 2012</strong>, just in time for Father’s Day!</p>
<p>As a warrior lost on Earth, John Carter is magically transported to Mars, where the fate of the planet and its people ultimately rest in his hands. With surprising new powers, and epic battles, he rises to become the man he is meant to be and the hero he truly is.</p>
<p>From Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Andrew Stanton (Best Animated Film, WALL•E, 2008) “John Carter” is a sweeping action-adventure set on the mysterious and exotic planet of Barsoom (Mars). John Carter is a war-weary, former military captain who’s inexplicably transported to Mars and reluctantly becomes embroiled in an epic conflict. It’s a world on the brink of collapse, and Carter rediscovers his humanity when he realizes the survival of Barsoom and its people rests in his hands. Stunning special effects, great characters and villains — and complete with extraordinary bonus features - <strong>“John Carter”</strong> is a heroic and inspirational adventure that will thrill audiences beyond imagination.</p>
<p>This ambitious and unforgettable screen adaptation of the classic novel “A Princess of Mars” by Edgar Rice Burroughs, stars heartthrob Taylor Kitsch (“Friday Night Lights,” “X-Men Origins: Wolverine”) in the title role, Lynn Collins (“X-Men Origins: Wolverine,” “The Number 23”) as Dejah Thoris, Willem Dafoe (“The English Patient,” “Spider Man”) as Tars Tarkas, and Dominic West (“300,” “The Wire”) as Sab Than. The screenplay is written by Stanton, Mark Andrews and Michael Chabon.</p>

<p align="center"><strong>Over 4 hours of bonus features including<br />
an all-new documentary “THE SHARK IS STILL WORKING” </strong><strong></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>JAWS</em></strong> – the landmark motion picture that still makes audiences afraid to go in the water – comes to Blu-ray<sup>TM</sup> for the first time ever on <strong>August 14<sup>th</sup>, 2012</strong>. Featuring an all-new, digitally remastered and fully restored picture, as well as 7.1 surround sound, the <strong><em>JAWS</em></strong> Blu-ray<sup>TM</sup> Combo Pack with DVD, Digital Copy and UltraViolet<sup>TM</sup> gives fans the ultimate way to watch the breathtaking and terrifying action-thriller.</p>

<p>One of the most influential motion pictures of all time and nominated for a Best Picture Academy Award<sup>®</sup>, <strong><em>JAWS</em></strong><em> </em>stars Oscar<sup>®</sup> winner Richard Dreyfuss and Oscar® nominees Roy Scheider and Robert Shaw.  Produced by legendary filmmakers Richard D. Zanuck and David Brown, the film earned an Oscar<sup>®</sup> for composer John Williams’ instantly recognizable minimalist score, as well as Oscars<sup>®</sup> for Best Editing and Best Sound. When it was first released in 1975,<strong><em> JAWS</em></strong> smashed box-office records and became the highest-grossing film of its era, earning Spielberg a reputation as a Hollywood visionary.  Today, it remains one of the highest-grossing films in motion-picture history[1] and is largely considered the film that launched the summer blockbuster.</p>
<p><strong><em>JAWS</em></strong> is one of 13 classic Universal films to be digitally remastered and fully restored from 35mm original film elements as part of Universal’s ongoing 100<sup>th</sup> Anniversary celebration. The <strong><em>JAWS </em></strong>restoration began with researching and evaluating the existing film elements to determine the best means to restore the film. Over the course of several months, skilled technicians at Universal Studios Digital Services meticulously balanced color, removed dirt and scratches, and repaired any damage to the film elements shot by shot and frame by frame. Following the picture restoration, Universal Studios Sound team up-mixed the iconic <strong><em>JAWS</em></strong><em> </em>soundtrack to DTS-HD Master 7.1, optimizing the sound on the Blu-ray<sup>TM</sup> for the latest home theater technology. The entire restoration process was conducted in conjunction with Steven Spielberg and Amblin Entertainment’s post-production team to ensure the integrity of Spielberg’s original vision remained intact.</p>

<p>“<strong><em>JAWS</em></strong> holds a unique place, not just in Universal Pictures’ history, but in global pop culture,” said Craig Kornblau, President of Universal Studios Home Entertainment. “It is only fitting that this phenomenal film should be given the extensive restoration needed to ensure that long-time fans as well as newcomers can enjoy this unforgettable cinematic achievement for generations to come.”</p>

<p>Winner of two Academy Awards®, including Best Director, and four Golden Globes®, including Best Picture, the award-winning classic <strong>Born on the Fourth of July</strong> will be available on <strong>July 3, 2012</strong> on Blu-ray™ Combo Pack with DVD and Digital Copy featuring perfect hi-def picture and sound. Born on the Fourth of July stars Tom Cruise (Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, Minority Report) who delivers a riveting and unforgettable portrayal of Vietnam veteran Ron Kovic in Oliver Stone’s (Savages, Platoon) Academy Award®-winning masterpiece.</p>
<p>Based on a true story, the acclaimed film follows Kovic from a zealous teen who eagerly volunteered for the Vietnam War, to an embittered veteran paralyzed from the mid-chest down. Deeply in love with his country, Kovic returned to an environment vastly different from the one he left, and struggled before emerging as a brave new voice for the disenchanted. Also starring Kyra Sedgwick (“The Closer”) and Willem Dafoe (Spider-Man), this stirring story of innocence lost still rings true today.</p>
<p><strong>Born on the Fourth of July</strong>, available on Blu-ray™ and DVD, will be released in celebration of Universal‘s 100th Anniversary. In honor of its centennial anniversary, Universal Pictures proudly salutes 100 years of unforgettable films that have entertained audiences and touched the hearts of millions around the globe. In celebration of our first 100 years, Universal Studios Home Entertainment is proud to present a selection of our many beloved movies as part of an extensive year-long program that underscores the studio&#8217;s rich cinematic history and indelible cultural impact.</p>

<p>Disney Fairies is a franchise built around one of Disney&#8217;s most famous and beloved characters, Tinker Bell, her fairy friends (Fawn, Iridessa, Rosetta, Silvermist and Vidia), the power of pixie dust and the enchanted world of Pixie Hollow. Launched in 2005, the Disney Fairies franchise carries on Disney&#8217;s rich heritage of children&#8217;s storytelling across numerous lines of business including film, publishing, lifestyle merchandising (i.e., apparel, toys, electronics, home décor and stationery), games, internet, mobile-web and theme parks, extending the fairy experiences into many girls&#8217; homes across the globe.</p>
<p>Following the great success of Walt Disney Pictures&#8217; video premiere release of Tinker Bell on Blu-ray™ and DVD in 2008, the company has since released two additional movies, Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure and Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue, and &#8220;Pixie Hollow Games&#8221; a TV special which premiered on Disney Channel in 2011. Secret of the Wings is Walt Disney Pictures&#8217; fourth feature length installment in the movie franchise.</p>

<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s time to play the music. It&#8217;s time to light the lights&#8230; It&#8217;s time to meet the Muppets on the Muppet Show tonight!&#8221;</p>
<p>The Muppets are back and on another one of their zany adventures! On vacation in Los Angeles, Walter, the world&#8217;s biggest Muppet fan, his brother Gary (Jason Segel) and Gary&#8217;s girlfriend, Mary (Amy Adams), from Smalltown, USA, discover the nefarious plan of oilman Tex Richman (Chris Cooper) to raze Muppet Studios and drill for the oil recently discovered beneath the Muppets&#8217; former stomping grounds. To stage a telethon and raise the $10 million needed to save the studio, Walter, Mary and Gary help Kermit reunite the Muppets, who have all gone their separate ways: Fozzie now performs with a Reno casino tribute band called the Moopets, Miss Piggy is a plus-size fashion editor at Vogue Paris, Animal is in a Santa Barbara clinic for anger management, and Gonzo is a high-powered plumbing magnate.</p>

<p>I absolutely love this movie! Whether it be nostalgia, or just great writing, this movie makes me smile from ear to ear. From the trailers, I wasn&#8217;t sure about the new muppet Walter but that was put to ease right away! Walter fit right in with the rest of the muppet family. This is true for the rest of the cast as well. I couldn&#8217;t imagine anyone better to co-star with this crazy bunch than Jason Segel. His character Gary has a wonderful charm and innocence about him that Segel plays well. Amy Adams is adorable as Gary&#8217;s girlfriend Mary. Her and Segel have an amazingly goofy chemistry that fits right in to this film. The most important thing to me about THE MUPPETS is that they stayed true to the classic characters. They didn&#8217;t try to make them more modern or racy. Heck, they didn&#8217;t have to. There is a reason that so many people adore these fun-loving characters, and to change them would have been a catastrophe.</p>
<p>Sidenote: I love that they didn&#8217;t explain how Gary is a man, Walter is a muppet, but the two are brothers! It reminds me of THE GREAT MUPPET CAPER where Fozzie Bear and Kermit the Frog are suppose to be identical twins. It doesn&#8217;t need to make sense&#8230; just go with it!</p>
<p>I could go on and on about this film, but this is The Blu Review&#8230; so on to the meat and potatoes!</p>
<p>The WOCKA WOCKA VALUE PACK version of THE MUPPETS has a lot to offer audiences! This is the best Blu-Ray that I have seen in quite some time!</p>
<h6>AUDIO:</h6>
<p>Disney&#8217;s DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 is simply amazing! Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem have never sounded better. The audio is crystal clear, and every line, sound effect, and joke from Fozzie is heard without missing a beat!</p>
<h6>VIDEO:</h6>
<p>The 1080p/AVC-encoded video is as close to flawless as I have seen on a blu-ray! The edges are crisp, and you can see even the tiniest details of Kermit&#8217;s felt! The color is especially important since the Muppets range from Piggy&#8217;s pink to Kermit&#8217;s green, and everywhere in between. It&#8217;s like a rainbow exploded when they were created, and it is captured brilliantly! The Muppets have never looked better!</p>
<h6>BONUS FEATURES:</h6>
<p>I am still in awe of the muppeteers and their ability to stay in character throughout these bonus features. Not only is this a wonderful collection of features, but even those who aren&#8217;t fans of watching the bonus materials will find these entertaining.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong style="font-size: small;">The Longest Blooper Reel Ever Made (In Muppet History &#8211; We Think) -</strong><span style="font-size: small;">A laugh out loud look at the actors&#8217; funny gaffs and gags from behind the scenes of making Disney&#8217;s The Muppets.</span></li>
<li><strong style="font-size: small;">Disney Intermission</strong><span style="font-size: small;"> - Groundbreaking Blu-ray feature. Pausing a movie will never be this much fun, as the Muppets take over the screen every time you stop the disc!</span></li>
<li><strong style="font-size: small;">Scratching The Surface: A Hasty Examination of the Making of Disney&#8217;s The Muppets</strong><span style="font-size: small;">. Hosted by unit production manager monster J.G., the cast and crew take a behind the scenes look at making Muppet and movie history.</span></li>
<li><strong style="font-size: small;">Explaining Evil: The Full Tex Richman Song</strong><span style="font-size: small;">. Rapping his way through the story of his miserable life, Tex tells audiences why he turned out to be such a rotten guy. This is the only one I am not a huge fan of&#8230; </span></li>
<li><strong style="font-size: small;">A Little Screen Test on the way to the Read Through</strong><span style="font-size: small;">. This hilarious footage follows the Muppet gang as they go to their first table reading of the script.</span></li>
<li><strong><span style="font-size: small;">Eight Deleted Scenes: </span></strong><span style="font-size: small;">&#8220;Walter&#8217;s Nightmare,&#8221; &#8220;Life&#8217;s A Happy Song Missing Verse,&#8221; &#8220;A Hero in Hollywood,&#8221; &#8220;Credit Card Club,&#8221; &#8220;Muppets in Jail,&#8221; &#8220;Bowling for Beaker,&#8221; &#8220;The Strip Mall Awards&#8221; and &#8220;The Complete Muppet Telethon Opening &amp; More&#8221;. These are fun to see, but it&#8217;s also apparent why they were cut from the movie.</span></li>
<li><strong><span style="font-size: small;">Audio Commentary with Jason Segel, James Bobin and Nicholas Stoller: </span></strong><span style="font-size: small;">I know some have scoffed, but I enjoyed the commentary on this film. It&#8217;s not as detailed as I would like, but it&#8217;s fun to hear about the writing process, Muppet trivia, and to just hear the three of them have fun as they record their commentary.</span></li>
<li><strong><span style="font-size: small;">Trailers: </span></strong><span style="font-size: small;">&#8220;Rise of the Muppets,&#8221; &#8220;Never&#8221; &#8220;Green with Envy,&#8221; &#8220;The Fuzzy Pack,&#8221; &#8220;Being Green,&#8221; &#8220;The Piggy with the Froggy Tattoo&#8221; and &#8220;Green with Envy, the Spoof Spoof Trailer.&#8221;</span></li>
<li><strong><span style="font-size: small;">The Complete Soundtrack: </span></strong><span style="font-size: small;">I adore this soundtrack! Who doesn&#8217;t need &#8220;Man or Muppet&#8221; or &#8220;Rainbow Connection&#8221; on their iPod! Oh, and who doesn&#8217;t want to rock out in their car to their version of &#8220;Smells Like Teen Spirit&#8221;?</span></li>
</ul>
<p>The Muppets prove that it is a very manly Muppet movie! The jokes are funny, the soundtrack is outstanding, and the features are fun!</p>
<h4>OVERALL RATING: 5 out of 5 stars</h4>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="size-full wp-image-119045 aligncenter" title="APPLE CORPS LTD./EMI MUSIC YELLOW SUBMARINE" src="http://cdn.wearemoviegeeks.com/wp-content/uploads/20120320125917ENPRNPRN-APPLE-CORPS-EMI-MUSIC-YELLOW-SUBMARINE-90-1332248357MR.jpg" alt="" width="368" height="500" /></p>
<p>The Beatles&#8217; classic 1968 animated feature film, <strong><em>Yellow Submarine</em></strong>, has been digitally restored for DVD and Blu-ray release on <strong>May 28 (May 29 in North America</strong>). The film&#8217;s songtrack album will be reissued on CD on the same date.</p>
<p>Currently out of print, the film has been restored in 4K digital resolution for the first time by Paul Rutan Jr.and his team of specialists at Triage Motion Picture Services and Eque Inc.  Due to the delicate nature of the hand-drawn original artwork, no automated software was used in the digital clean-up of the film&#8217;s restored photochemical elements.  This was all done by hand, frame by frame.</p>
<p>Bonus features for the <strong><em>Yellow Submarine</em> </strong>DVD and Blu-ray include a short making-of documentary titled &#8220;Mod Odyssey&#8221; (TRT: 7:30), the film&#8217;s original theatrical trailer, audio commentary by producer John Coates and art director Heinz Edelmann, several brief interview clips with others involved with the film, storyboard sequences, 29 original pencil drawings and 30 behind-the-scenes photos. Both Digipak packages will include reproductions of animation cels from the film, collectible stickers, and a 16-page booklet with a new essay by <em>Yellow Submarine</em> aficionado John Lasseter (Chief Creative Officer, Walt Disney and Pixar Animation Studios).</p>
<p>Lasseter writes in his essay, &#8220;As a fan of animation and as a filmmaker, I tip my hat to the artists of <strong><em>Yellow Submarine</em></strong>, whose revolutionary work helped pave the way for the fantastically diverse world of animation that we all enjoy today.&#8221;</p>
<p>Directed by George Dunning, and written by Lee Minoff, Al Brodax, Jack Mendelsohn and Erich Segal,<em>Yellow Submarine</em> began its voyage to the screen when Brodax, who had previously produced nearly 40 episodes of ABC&#8217;s animated Beatles TV series, approached The Beatles&#8217; manager Brian Epstein with a unique vision for a full-length animated feature.</p>
<p><strong><em>Yellow Submarine</em></strong>, based upon a song by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, is a fantastic tale brimming with peace, love, and hope, propelled by Beatles songs, including &#8220;Eleanor Rigby,&#8221; &#8220;When I&#8217;m Sixty-Four,&#8221; &#8220;Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds,&#8221; &#8220;All You Need Is Love,&#8221; and &#8220;It&#8217;s All Too Much.&#8221;  When the film debuted in 1968, it was instantly recognized as a landmark achievement, revolutionizing a genre by integrating the freestyle approach of the era with innovative animation techniques.</p>
<p>Inspired by the generation&#8217;s new trends in art, the film resides with the dazzling Pop Art styles of Andy Warhol, Martin Sharp, Alan Aldridge and Peter Blake. With art direction and production design by Heinz Edelmann, <strong><em>Yellow Submarine</em></strong> is a classic of animated cinema, featuring the creative work of animation directors Robert Balser and Jack Stokes with a team of animators and technical artists.</p>
<p>&#8220;I thought from the very beginning that the film should be a series of interconnected shorts,&#8221; remembers Edelmann. &#8220;The style should vary every five minutes or so to keep the interest going until the end.&#8221;  These styles included melding live-action photography with animation, 3-dimensional sequences and kaleidoscopic &#8220;rotoscoping&#8221; where film is traced frame by frame into drawings.  The entire process took nearly two years, 14 different scripts, 40 animators and 140 technical artists, ultimately producing a groundbreaking triumph of animation.</p>
<p>On April 24, Candlewick Press will release a new, compact hardcover edition of the <strong><em>Yellow Submarine </em></strong>picture book, a read-aloud journey for the whole family.  Featuring the lighthearted wit of the film&#8217;s script alongside original artwork from the movie that has charmed children and adults through several generations, the beautiful, 40-page book will be sold by retailers everywhere and on the Beatles Store (<strong><a href="http://www.thebeatles.com/" target="_blank">www.thebeatles.com</a></strong>). An interactive digital version of the book is also available as a free download on Apple&#8217;s iBookstore for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch at <a href="http://www.itunes.com/TheBeatles" target="_blank">www.iTunes.com/TheBeatles</a>.</p>

<p><strong><em>Yellow Submarine</em> </strong><strong>synopsis:<br />
</strong>Once upon a time &#8230; or maybe twice, there was an unearthly paradise called Pepperland, a place where happiness and music reigned supreme. But all that was threatened when the terrible Blue Meanies declared war and sent in their army led by a menacing Flying Glove to destroy all that was good.  Enter John, Paul, George and Ringo to save the day!  Armed with little more than their humor, songs, and of course, their yellow submarine, The Beatles tackle the rough seas ahead in an effort to bring down the evil forces of bluedom.</p>

<p>Liam Neeson stars as John Ottway, a sharpshooting wolf hunter who becomes an unlikely hero, leading a group of oilrig roughnecks on a death-defying backwoods trek through the Alaskan wilderness. When a plane transporting them to Anchorage crashes on a remote mountaintop, eight survivors must find their way back to civilization or perish in a frozen wasteland. With Ottway as their guide, the ravaged group faces hostile terrain with limited supplies. Most terrifyingly, they are stalked by a pack of fierce and cunning wolves. In order to survive, they will have to turn the tables on the ferocious predators in an unparalleled wilderness adventure.</p>

<p><strong>SYNOPSIS</strong></p>
<p>Disgraced journalist Mikael Blomkvist (Daniel Craig) accepts an invitation to surreptitiously investigate a forty year old unsolved murder on behalf of the victim&#8217;s uncle, Swedish industrialist Henrik Vanger (Christopher Plummer). Meanwhile, tattooed hacker Lisbeth Salander (Rooney Mara), hired to investigate Blomkvist, discovers the truth behind the conspiracy that led to his fall from grace. Thrown together by fate, the unlikely duo uncovers a secret history of murder and sexual abuse festering beneath the veneer of Sweden&#8217;s industrial past, all the while drawing closer to a quiet evil waiting to engulf them both.</p>
