Ghost Adventures / Ghosts Don't Exist Feature

  • GHOST ADVENTURE (DVD MOVIE)
GHOST ADVENTURES
In this full-length film that inspired the hit Travel Channel series, Zak Bagans, Nick Groff and Aaron Goodwin visit the Old Washoe Club in Virginia City, Nevada, and the Goldfield Hotel in Goldfield, Nevada—two of the most notoriously haunted sites in America. During the height of their existence, the two infamous locations were the scene of rape, murder, and other crimes of passion…a recipe for trapped souls. Prepare yourself for the creepiest footage ever caught on tape: where others won't set foot, the team witnesses a full-bodied apparition, a poltergeist that sends them running, and more shocking evidence that proves ghosts exist.

Includes BONUS DVD!

GHOSTS DON'T EXIST
Ghost hunter Brett Wilson struggles to move on from the death of his wife, Nicole, and their child. On the verge of retiring, he needs a phenomenal case to wrap up his paranormal TV show. When someone calls claiming that Nicole contacted him, it seems that a fan is desperate for attention…but the call is far from a ploy, and Brett takes on a bizarre case that quickly turns personal—and deadly.

  • Free Shipping on orders of , use code FREESHIP. Hurry ends 12/19!
Following in the footsteps of Planet Earth and Life, this epic eight-part blockbuster is a breathtaking celebration of the amazing, complex, profound and sometimes challenging relationship between humankind and nature. Humans are the ultimate animals - the most successful species on the planet. From the frozen Arctic to steamy rainforests, from tiny islands in vast oceans to parched deserts, people have found remarkable ways to adapt and survive. We've done this by harnessing our immense courage and ingenuity; learning to live with and utilize the other creatures with which we share these wild places. Human Planet weaves together eighty inspiring stories, many never told before, set to a globally-influenced soundtrack by award-winning composer Nitin Sawhney. Each episode focuses on a particular habitat and reveals how its people have created astonishing solutions in the face of extreme adversity. Finally we visit the urban jungle, where most of us now live, and discover why the connection between humanity and nature here is the most vital of all.

I AM

I AM Review



Ace Ventura director Tom Shadyac takes a sharp left turn in the documentary I Am. After a bike accident that results in cuts, bruises, and a concussion, he sinks into a depression, and considers the state of the world. He wonders why it's in such a mess, and decides it's because of aggressively competitive people like him: Americans who strive to amass wealth at the expense of their well being, their interpersonal relationships, and the environment that sustains them. He illustrates the point with repeated shots of his private jet and extravagant properties, then proceeds to speak with famous figures who emphasize compassion, like sustainability activist David Suzuki, linguistics professor Noam Chomsky, progressive historian Howard Zinn, and environmentally conscious CEO Ray Andersen (star of The Corporation). He also speaks with his father, Richard, who cofounded St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital (Zinn and Shadyac Sr. passed away prior to the film's release). His heart is in the right place, but I Am doesn't quite add up as Shadyac seems to be simultaneously bragging (about his movies and possessions) and beating himself up (about those who have less). His documentary also covers much of the same ground as One Peace at a Time, though that may be purely coincidental. By the end, he downsizes in order to lead a more constructive existence, though it's hard to tell whether this is a permanent shift, an advanced case of midlife crisis, or a holiday from Hollywood until the next potential blockbuster comes along. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Consider the Conversation: A Documentary on a Taboo Subject (Personal Use) Review



Consider the Conversation: A Documentary on a Taboo Subject (Personal Use) Feature

  • This DVD is for private home viewing in the United States and Canada only.
Motivated by their personal experiences with loss, two long-time friends - one a hospice worker and the other a State Teacher of the Year - present a powerful and inspiring film on the American struggle with communication and preparation at the end-of-life. Consider the Conversation examines multiple perspectives on end-of-life care and includes interviews with patients, family members, doctors, nurses, clergy, social workers and national experts from around the country. The film's goal is to jump-start the conversation between patient and doctor, husband and wife, parent and child, minister and parishioner. This is not a story about death; it's a film about living life to its fullest up to the very end. Featuring: Ira Byock, MD; James Cleary, MD; Stephen P. Kiernan; Elliott Fisher, MD, MPH; Bernard "Bud" Hammes, PhD; Martin Welsh, MD; Susan Dolan, RN, JD; Doug Smith; Loretta Downs; Rev. Jacqueline Cameron, MDiv, MD; Bruce C. Wilson, MD; Peter J.
