Decoding the Past - Mysteries of the Bermuda Triangle (History Channel) (2007) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If ever there was a documentary about the Bermuda triangle,this would be it!From the beginning this documentary sets the tone for the rest of the hour plus.From the earliest reports of missing ships of old to missing planes of the present,this one covers it all.I must say I have a bias to this dvd as it really covered in depth the disappearance of flight 19.Every possible theory is covered and explained to great detail.The viewer will be able to follow it through to the end.I would highly recommended this dvd to anyone wanting to begin their exploration of all things un-explainable,hope that made sense!).

IMAX: Coral Reef Adventure (2002) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As a half-century scuba diver who has been diving Fiji, the Great Barrier Reef, Moorea and Tiputa Pass in Rangiroa over the years, I can vouch for the authenticity and genuine beauty of this splendid documentary, as well as for the unfortunate reality of the threats to these areas. In particular, we have been diving Fiji's Bligh Waters for years, most often with Rusi Vulakoro (also an excellent singer) who appears prominently in this production. Rusi and Jean-Michel Cousteau demonstrate some of what they are doing to preserve this paradise.
The McGillivray-Freeman production and Michele and photography is top notch, and our friends Rob and Cat, owners of the liveaboard dive boat NAI'A used for the filming, guided Howard and Michele Hall to all our favorite sites - their cinematography is superb, in spite of the major problems faced by using the huge and unwieldy IMAX system. Those interested in scuba diving, some of the world's best dive spots and the state of the ocean will love this DVD - and come away convinced we should never have called this planet, 70.78% of which is covered by the world's oceans and water, "Earth."

Take a once-in-a-lifetime journey across the South Pacific for a spectacular IMAX adventure. Joy, ecstasy, a spiritual high: these words describe the exhilaration of diving a pristine coral reef, and ocean explorers Howard and Michele Hall bring their love of the ocean into action. With Jean-Michael Cousteau, deep reef scientist Richard Pyle and Fijian diver Rusi Vulakoro, they explore and capture on film the dazzling underwater world of coral reefs, magical places here on Earth. This tropical excursion through the South Pacific will surprise and delight you as you fall in love with the reefs, and your heart will ache at the tragic, irretrievable loss of these fragile worlds.

Shark Week: 20th Anniversary Collection (2005) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I pre-ordered this dvd and the day it arrived I popped it in the player. The packaging is very nice w/ a cool 3D Jaws pic on the front. 4 discs: 1 and 3 have 3 shows, 2 and 4 have 4 shows each. With the exception of Anatomy of a Bite (90min), most avg around 45 minutes. The shows range from Shark Bite survivors to Air Jaws & Air Jaws II. $19.99 is a fair price for 14 episodes and I did learn a lot. They seem to dwell quite a bit on the Great White, so footage of the leaping sharks in So. Africa can get a bit repetitive. Also Erich Ricter, the scientist whose bite from a bull shark was highlighted in Anatomy of a Bite, makes quite a few appearances throughout the episodes. You'd think that after 20 years of Shark Week, Discovery would include 14 very different episodes in this compliation. I'm a huge Shark Week fan and never miss a year so that's why this dvd was a MUST-OWN, but I do wish it had maybe 6 more episodes and they could have focused on other sharks like the Mako or Tiger vs. focusing quite a bit on the Great White and Bull Shark.. If you like owning Nature DVDs, and perhaps aren't going to record this year's Shark Week episodes, this is a good deal. Just be prepared to watch the majority of the time about Whale, Bull, and Great White Sharks..

8th & Ocean - The Complete First Season (2006) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm not a 15 year old girl, and i absolutely LOATHE Laguna Beach and its fakeness, but i really enjoyed the first season of 8th & Ocean. I think the reason i enjoy 8 is because the people on 8 have to make a living and make their own way in the world, while on laguna the kids are spoiled whiny ill behaved brats. SUMMARY, Good girl Britt joins the Irene Marie Modeling Agency in Miami and tries to advance her modeling career while hanging on to her morals. Britt moves in to an apartment shared with other models such as Tracie who at 24 is no longer the fresh face she used to be and whose opportunities are drying up. Also living in the models apartment are feuding twins Kelly and Sabrina, (whose parents must have been CHARLIES ANGELS fans), who have to deal with sibling jealousy and ups and downs of their cereers while being at each others throats, i mean if you can't trust your sister who can you trust. Irene also has to deal with super hot, super FLAKY male model Vinci who is super unreliable. So will Britt be able to keep her morals or fall prey to the sharks that are attracted to fresh meat? Tune in to see. EP

From the team behind MTV’s genre-bending series Laguna Beach comes the next addiction in television. 8th & Ocean tells the story of 10 aspiring models living together in a beachfront apartment complex while enduring the cut-throat world of fashion.Capturing the real lives of the cast with the look and feel of a drama, 8th & Ocean is shot in the style of a narrative film, but with an "indie edge."There are no interviews or confessionals – the stories are told purely through probing camerawork, eclectic music and unscripted dialogue.
