A Lot Like Love (DVD)
From British director Nigel Cole, whose sweet-hearted comedies CALENDAR GIRLS and SAVING GRACE shared a similar combination of humor and true emotion, A LOT LIKE LOVE is the story of two friends who seem destined to love each other--if they can ever realize that themselves. Meeting on a flight from Los Angeles to New York, naive Oliver (Ashton Kutcher) and tough Emily (Amanda Peet) have sex in an airplane lavatory before learning each other's names. Despite this intimate introduction, Emily is uninterested in getting to know the guy she just picked up, telling Oliver frankly that he's not her type. The two part ways, but end up running into each other hours later in what proves to be just the first of many semi-coincidental romantic encounters. After spending a fun day together in the city, Oliver gives Emily his home number and tells her to call him in 6 years, once he's gotten his life and career figured out. When an unforeseen breakup leaves Emily dateless for New Year's Eve a few years later, she calls Oliver and they meet again. In the years that have passed since their first meeting, Emily has taken up acting, Oliver has started an online diaper-selling business, and both have gotten more flattering haircuts. But Emily is disappointed to learn that Oliver is moving to San Francisco for business the next day. Over the course of a few years, Emily and Oliver grow to depend on each other in times of crisis, and develop a solid friendship. While each sporadic encounter contains an undeniable spark, the timing never seems to be right, with several bad relationships, career transitions, and location changes getting in the way. But will the pair realize their feelings for each other and get together before it's too late?

The fascinating natural habitat of the Giant Panda opens up to the public on this cinematic trip to China. Originally shot for the IMAX format, the action begins in 1936, with Ruth Harkness (Maria Bello) arriving in China to settle the estate of her late husband. A paradox lies at the heart of his death, which occurred while he was out observing the Giant Panda--he believed it was a peaceful creature, while hunter, Dakar Johnson (Xander Berkeley) believed them to be unruly, vicious animals. Sadly the actions of people like Johnson have made it hard for others to make up their own minds, as the Giant Panda teeters perilously on the brink of extinction. Harkenss sets out to observe the animals for herself so she can make up her own mind about them, and encounters some extraordinary scenes, which are superbly captured on film in this moving, historically fascinating release.DVD Features:Region (unknown)Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Audio: Dolby Surround 5.1 French Dolby Surround 5.1 English Featurette Behind-the-scenesInteractive Features: Interactive Menus
