Eat, Pray and Love

'm totally confused. If Eat Pray Love the movie is a faithful adaptation of Elizabeth Gilbert's best-selling memoir, then why did it ever make it onto the bestsellers list? And if it's not a faithful adaptation, why isn't it? Was something lost in translation or was the source material not as strong as book sales would have us believe? The Liz Gilbert in the film version of Eat Pray Love is one of the least compelling, least interesting women we've seen as the lead figure of a movie in recent memory, and I can't figure out why women in particular are so in love with this character.
As Liz, Julia Roberts smiles a lot, cries a lot, and heads off on a journey of self-discovery (read year-long vacation from real life) after her marriage falls apart and her attempt at a lasting relationship with a much younger man fails. The character as written is so self-absorbed, unlikeable and worst of all, after a year of trying to find herself never really seems to grow as a person, that there's nothing about this successful writer (who's apparently got an abundance of money) to grab on to.

Eat Pray Love - The Story
Liz isn't happy. Her husband, Stephen (Billy Crudup), is unfocused, frequently changes jobs, and is unsure of what he wants to be when he grows up. The new house they bought just a year ago seems like a prison to Liz, and when Stephen says he wants to go back to college, she decides that's the end of her patience with him. Now, since this is done incredibly quickly in the film, it's kind of like she just gives up on marriage without much of a fight. She's done, he still loves her, but she quickly moves on to a much younger actor (played by James Franco) who's starring in a play she wrote. She sees him on stage, thinks he's saying the words only to her, and bam! - they're in a relationship. But just as quickly as she starts that up, she decides he's not for her. She's unhappy and feels dead inside, and the only way to fix herself is to take off for a year and travel.

DVD Deals

Hello again and welcome back for another installment of IGN's "DVD Deals of the Week" column -- check this space every week for the best buys we can dig up on disc that we think will appeal to you, the IGN reader.

This week we've found bargains featuring aliens, bugs, ticks, cats… and a bunch of superheroes you've never heard of. If it's a fact, are we lying? (And as always, remember that some of these deals are only active for a limited time, so you may need to act fast!)

Click here for our sister column: "Blu-ray Deals of the Week."



VAL LEWTON COLLECTION

Deal: $19.99 at Buy.com

What's great about this set is that Martin Scorcese's excellent documentary on producer Val Lewton is included for those who are unfamiliar with his work. An influential filmmaker who churned out a bunch of classic creepers for RKO in the 1940s, Lewton was little recognized in his time, but film lovers have come to recognize his contributions to genre cinema in the decades since. Cat People, Curse of the Cat People, I Walked with a Zombie, Isle of the Dead and more brooding, atmospheric horror are all included in this six-disc set.

DVD Sales

vatar wasn’t just a huge success at the box office; the film is quickly setting records on home video as well. Since its release on April 22, Avatar has managed to move more than 6.7 million DVD and Blu-ray discs in North America alone. This shatters the previous record held by The Dark Knight.

While DVD sales have been extremely strong, the sales for the Blu (Blu)-ray version of the film have been pretty astonishing. Avatar easily beat the first-day record of 600,000 Blu-ray discs set by The Dark Knight in 2008, selling 1.2 million copies on Blu-ray Thursday. Four days later, the film managed to grow that number to 2.7 million. That’s more than the 2.5 million copies The Dark Knight has managed to sell on Blu-ray over the last 18 months.

In all fairness, Blu-ray market penetration is much greater now than it was 18 months ago. Still, the fact that nearly a third of all sales so far are for the Blu-ray version speaks to the power of Avatar. 20th Century Fox even told reporters that sales of Blu-ray players at Best Buy have doubled since Avatar’s release.

While Avatar is also available for digital download via Sony’s PlayStation Network, Apple’s iTunes, VUDU and others, the uncompressed, “true HD” experience of the film on Blu-ray is a huge driver for the platform.

The U.S. isn’t the only country where Avatar sales have soared; France, Germany and Spain have also experienced tremendous sales. The film comes to the U.K. today, where it should continue to do well.

Fox fully plans on milking Avatar for all it is worth. Thursday’s release contained no extra features or behind-the-scenes goodies; it’s just the film. An expanded special edition will be released in October. Additionally, despite Avatar’s immersive 3D experience in theaters, home viewers won’t be able to re-create Pandora (Pandora) in 3D until sometime in 2011.

What do you think of the continued success of Avatar? Do you think the film has the potential to drive Blu-ray adoption, just as The Matrix pushed DVD adoption more than a decade ago? Let us know!

Gray Brooks House - Movies and Dramas Blogspot

For the serious Diff'rent Strokes with a spare $320,000 and change, we got just the dealie for you.

Gary Coleman's Utah home is for sale. That is, if his ex-wife doesn't get her hands on it first.

The house needs some work—court-appointed administrator Robert Jeffs estimates at least $7,500 in repairs is needed for the "poor/distressed" property (there's one for the real estate add!)—and Coleman's "disorganized" belongings need to be crated up and carted out first.

Otherwise, potential buyers just have to worry about bad karma possible legal action by Coleman's former missus.

Shannon Price is hopping mad that Jeffs filed a motion this week seeking permission to sell their former homestead. She was booted from the place in June after it was determined that she wasn't named in Coleman's legally recognized will.

Price's lawyer has told E! News that she and Coleman were technically common-law spouses and she should be in line for his estate. That means she'll fight to oppose any sale of, in the words of her rep, "the home they shared."

Lining up against her are Coleman's estranged parents.

Willie and Sue Coleman have filed a petition asking a judge to dismiss Price's attempt to get common-law marriage status. The Colemans don't believe she really played house with Gary after their divorce, even though she was the one who was there on the day he fell down in the home—a mishap that resulted in a fatal brain hemorrhage.

There was no immediate comment from either Jeffs or Coleman's camp.

Ironically, according to court docs, Coleman was upside-down on his mortgage and actually owed more than $325,000 for property valued at $324,000.

So this could all be much ado about less than nothing.

Blockbusted - Movies and Dramas Blogspot

ntroduction

Have you been inside a video store lately? Our fearless leader recently had occasion to pay a visit to his local Blockbuster. When he returned to the Orbiting HQ, we couldn't tell whether he was angry, disappointed, or just having a bout with diphtheria. Maybe it was all three.

To cut a long and depressing story very short, the store didn't have what he had been looking for. In fact, it had virtually nothing worthy of Ken's attention for two hours. We resolved then and there to do a thorough breakdown of the options available to today's film connoisseurs, the good and the bad, and figure out who actually uses any of them. Masochist that I am, I volunteered for the job.
Wal-Mart

Why not start with the largest DVD retailer in the world? If you're looking for new releases, very popular catalog titles, or whatever is in the deep discount bin today, you can't go wrong here. Nobody can stock a shelf quite like Sam Walton's boys and girls, so the latest and greatest is virtually guaranteed to be there at all times.

Sometimes you might have to hunt across the 200,000 square feet of the Supercenter to find the conveniently placed "hot titles" display rack you need. But you know the latest Adam Sandler masterpiece is going to be worth it. Who needs rentals when you can buy your movies for five times the price, and then get to dust the DVD rack every couple of weeks until you've forgotten what movies you have? Yeah, that's what I thought, too. Let's move on.
Blockbuster

That brings us to the raison d'ĂȘtrĂ© of this little treatise. Your average Blockbuster store, or at least those close to where I live in the Tampa Bay area, is becoming less of a movie rental venue these days. The store walls are covered in new releases by the bucketful, and the floor space in between holds about twenty chest-height display racks.

But about half of the available square footage, and half of the rack space, is occupied by video games, snack foods, and used discs for sale. I can understand the urge to feed the gamers, but all the extraneous material makes actual DVD rentals a breed threatened with extinction in here. VHS tapes are nowhere to be found, of course, but surely Little Johnny's grandma can afford a US$40 DVD player if she can handle the late fees?

Yes, the late fees. The much-publicized "no late fees" program was not universally adopted by owners of franchised stores, and even where it is in effect, it basically amounts to a "rent to own" program. Keep the movie as long as you like, but you'll eventually have to pay up and become a proud new owner of Gigli: the Extended Edition. The behind-the-scenes material alone is worth every penny.

I brought a list of 70 movies to two local stores and started checking titles off. It was a somewhat eclectic mix of Orbiting HQ favorites, quality anime, Oscar winners of various kinds, and a few international titles for that musky French spice. The results were downright depressing. Sure, they both had Kentucky Fried Movie and Fight Club. One store even carried a copy of Princess Bride, but neither had Weird Al's UHF, recent Oscar nominee Evil, or any of the anime titles. Not Noir, not Fullmetal Alchemist, not even Akira for crying out loud.

When I say they didn't have these movies, that's exactly what I mean. It's not that they were rented out; they didn't exist in those little worlds. All in all, I found 22 movies from my checklist in one store and in 23 the other. And that's mostly because I had 12 new releases on my list. I'm in a charitable mood, so I'll point out that new releases were reliably in the store. Walk the Line was closest to an exhausted supply, and there were still about a dozen copies of that one in each Blockbuster.

The Sorcerer's Apprentice - Moviesanddramas.blogspot.com Review

Walt Disney Pictures, star Nicolas Cage, producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Jon Turteltaub, the team behind the National Treasure franchise, reunite for The Sorcerer's Apprentice. Inspired by the eponymous short in Disney's 1940 masterpiece Fantasia, the film stars Cage as Balthazar Blake, a centuries-old master sorcerer who has been searching for the next Merlin since, well, the days of Merlin. He finds this archetypal chosen one in the person of young New Yorker Dave Stutler (played as an adult by Jay Baruchel).

Dave first encounters the eccentric immortal when, as a 10-year-old student, he stumbles into Balthazar's occult shop. Before the skittish kid can flee the shop, Balthazar convinces Dave to try on a special ring -- one adorned with a dragon. If the dragon likes you, Balthazar promises him, you can keep it. As soon as young Dave puts it on, the dragon comes alive and wraps around his finger to form the ring's band.

Like Arthur pulling the sword from the stone, Dave has passed the test and is revealed to be the one Balthazar has long sought. Unfortunately, Dave's a geeky klutz and accidentally unleashes Maxim Horvath (Alfred Molina), an urbane, sinister sorcerer and Balthazar's longtime arch-enemy. Balthazar saves Dave by magically sealing himself and Horvath inside an urn, but promises that he'll find Dave again one day.
