Food, Inc. MAGNOLIA PICT HM ENT Magnolia Home Entertainment In Food Inc filmmaker Robert Kenner lifts the veil on our nations food industry exposing the highly mechanized underbelly thats been hidden from the American consumer with the consent of our governments regulatory agencies USDA and FDA Our nations food supply is now controlled by a handful of corporations that often put profit ahead of consumer health the livelihood of the American farm Food Inc lifts the veil on our nations food industry exposing how our nations food supply is now controlled by a handful of corporations that often put profit ahead of consumer health the r / livelihood of the American farmer the safety of workers and our own environment Food Inc reveals surprising and often shocking truths about what we eat how its produced and who we have become as a nation r / r / span class h1 Q A with Producer/ Director Robert Kenner Co-Producer/ Food Expert Eric Schlosser Food Expert Michael Pollan and Producer Elise Pearlstein r / / / span How did this film initially come about / r / Kenner / Eric Schlosser and I had been wanting to do a documentary version of his book em Fast Food Nation / em And for one reason or another it didnt happen By the time em Food Inc / em started to come together we began talking and realized that all food has become like fast food and all food is being created in the same manner as fast food / How has fast food changed the food we buy at the supermarket / r / Schlosser / The enormous buying power of the fast food industry helped to transform the entire food production system of the United States So even when you purchase food at the supermarket you re likely to be getting products that came from factories feedlots and suppliers that emerged to serve the fast food chains / How many years did it take to do this film and what were the challenges / r / Kenner / From when Eric and I began talking about 6 or 7 years The film itself about 2 years It has taken a lot longer than we expected because we were denied access to so many places / Pearlstein / When Robby brought me into the project he was adamant about wanting to hear all sides of the story but it was nearly impossible to gain access onto industrial farms and into large food corporations They just would not let us in It felt like it would have been easier to penetrate the Pentagon than to get into a company that makes breakfast cereal The legal challenges on this film were also unique We found it necessary to consult with a first amendment lawyer throughout the entire filming process / Who or what influenced your film / r / Kenner / For most Americans the ideal meal is fast cheap and tasty Food Inc examines the costs of putting value and convenience over nutrition and environmental impact Director Robert Kenner explores the subject from all angles talking to authors advocates farmers and CEOs like co-producer Eric Schlosser Fast Food Nation Michael Pollan The Omnivores Dilemma Gary Hirschberg Stonyfield Farms and Barbara Kowalcyk whos been lobbying for more rigorous standards since E coli claimed the life of her two-year-old son The filmmaker takes his camera into slaughterhouses and factory farms where chickens grow too fast to walk properly cows eat feed pumped with toxic chemicals and illegal immigrants risk life and limb to bring these products to market at an affordable cost If eco-docs tends to preach to the converted Kenner presents his findings in such an engaging fashion that Food Inc may well reach the very viewers who could benefit from it the most harried workers who dont have the time or income to read every book and eat non-genetically modified produce every day Though he covers some of the same ground as Super-Size Me and King Korn Food Inc presents a broader picture of the problem and if Kenner takes an understandably tough stance on particular politicians and corporations hes just as quick to praise those who are trying to be responsible--even Wal-Mart which now carries organic products That development may have more to do with economics than empathy but the consumer still benefits and every little bit counts --Kathleen C Fennessy Ken Burns: National Parks - America's Best Idea PBS (DIRECT) THE NATIONAL PARKS is the story of an idea as uniquely American as the Declaration of Independence that the most special places in

North Pole he embarks on a journey of self-discovery that shows him that the wonder of life never fades for those who believe Destined to become a holiday perennial The Polar Express also heralded a brave new world of all-digital filmmaking Critics and audiences were divided between those who hailed it as an instant classic that captures the visual splendor and evocative innocence of Chris Van Allsburgs popular childrens book and those who felt that the innovative use of performance capture --to accurately translate live performances into all-digital characters--was an eerie and not-quite-lifelike distraction from the storys epic-scale North Pole adventure In any case its a benign kind-hearted celebration of the yuletide spirit especially for kids who have almost grown out of their need to believe in Santa Claus Tom Hanks is the nominal star who performs five different computer-generated characters but its the visuals that steal this show as director Robert Zemeckis indulges his tireless pursuit of technological innovation No matter how you respond to the many wonders on display its clear that The Polar Express represents a significant milestone in the digital revolution of cinema If it also fills you with the joy of Christmas in spite of its Nuremberg-like rally of frantic elves so much the better --Jeff Shannon span class h1 The World of The Polar Express

King Oprah Behind the Sceens Outtakes and Commentary The new extended edition of this ground-breaking feature length movie presentation reveals The Great Secret of the universe It has been passed throughout the ages traveling through centuries to reach you
This is The Secret to everything - the secret to unlimited joy health money relationships love youth everything you have ever wanted
In this astonishing program are ALL the resources you will ever need to understand and live The Secret For the first time in history the worlds leading scientists authors and philosophers will reveal The Secret that utterly transformed the lives of every person who ever knew it Plato Newton Carnegie Beethoven Shakespeare Einstein
Now YOU will know The Secret
And it can change your life forever Not really a movie or documentary The Secret is more of a video seminar a presentation featuring a series of authors philosophers doctors quantum physicists entrepreneurs and spiritual practitioners expounding on the powers of The Secret probably the most well-known of the presenters is Jack Canfield author of Chicken Soup for the Soul and The Success Principles What is The Secret exactly That principle can be summed up in three simple words thoughts become things proclaims writer Mike Dooley author of Notes from the Universe Put it another way it s The Power of Positive Thinking and how it can be applied to attracting more money better health and relationships in short happiness There is a rundown of topics on the DVD Chapters menu Most of the material here is given in a straightforward manner with the presenters simply talking into the camera to address the audience directly which is good because it avoids the trap of pretense On the other hand the quick edits between presenters would it hurt to let them say more than one sentence at a time dont help because it reduces many of their points to palatable sound bites and aphorisms To many viewers this may make the program come across as a series of nice ideas not rooted in reality Plus its somewhat spurious to claim that The Secret was well understood and practiced by specific individuals like Plato or Shakespeare its well known that some of the historical figures noted didnt exactly live happy or even prosperous lives despite their achievements But still the primary message is one of positivity and hope for everyone So what to make of it In the end programs like this generally find an audience that is open to the message and many will probably find it to be a source of inspiration Others will approach it with a good deal of skepticism or dismiss it as another way of marketing happiness the masses It simply won t resonate with everyone but if it resonates with you youre likely to enjoy it and get a lot out of it Those looking for more on The Secret might want to check out the companion book by Rhonda Byrne --Daniel Vancini Monty Python: Almost The
