I just ordered this from Warner Archives. Both parts. I am looking forward to it. Anyone else getting these sets? http://tvshowsondvd.com/n/17367

I'd love to see this often mentioned but never seen series, but I can't pull the trigger at $80 for 1 season. I'll wait till Amazon gets this and they price drops a bit. Just like I'm waiting on Harry O.

Yeah I admit I am splurging on these (and Harry-O) but I tell myself supporting MOD will mean more great stuff in the future.

Yeah, MOD means more great stuff like McDonalds means 'more great stuff' too. People giving Warners and the MOD drones their money only guarantees the meat grinder approach to serving up what was a cherished craft business... It's all coming out so quickly, because we've gotta have it now now now! Never mind the overpriced, sloppy service.

My experience with Warner Archives customer service was anything but sloppy. Overpriced discs? Perhaps. But no one has a gun to my head.

All I can say is, I have never had a problem with a single MOD set put out for a TV series. I've seen zero difference in quality. However, I can count quite a few times when so-called "craft" releases required me to exchange sets a half dozen times and go through never-ending aggravation of marathon session viewing to see if I finally had a set that played right (i.e. every double-sided disc set from Universal and Fox).

I agree. I wonder if the people who like to dump on MOD have ever even bought a MOD set? I'm delighted to be able to see shows from these series that I thought I'd never own. There are far worse ways to spend hobby money, IMHO.

I've bought two of the three Night Court seasons available (so far), and I have no problem with the picture quality of the sets. My only concern is for the future, and how long the discs will last. My only complaint is the price of the MoD stuff being more expensive than regular pressed sets. But the quality of the sets as I received them wasn't an issue at all. Nor did WBA take an inordinately long amount of time to get my sets to me. I have no problem with ordering from them in the future whenever I see they've released something I want.

I've picked up a few MOD TV sets and movies from WB. The DVD-R for one of the Tarzan films was a bad burn and had to be replaced. The early attempt by WB to support dual layer DVD-R's didn't go well either and the product had to be pulled. So just like commercial pressed DVD-18's (dual sided-dual layer disks) and disk rot have been issues for some, so has the MOD approach been at times. So the potential issue is there for both approaches. There never should be a video/audio quality difference since the content would be identical using either approach. It all depends on the quality of the source print and to what effort they may go to restore it. I think early on the concerns with MOD were based on the reports of no remastering and the compression and interlaced approach used. However, WB switched to a progressive approach, and going dual layer allows for a higher bitrate. As for video quality, they seemed to initial select titles that they had pretty good prints on that needed no major restoration, and now have been restoring some titles. So the quality is probably no different at this point, especially given that these lessor known titles wouldn't have gotten the premium efforts that many of the commercial pressed WB titles in the past have received. The main concern has always been longevity and the jury is still out on that. We know the predicted longevity, which is longer then anyone should need regarding a DVD-R or pressed DVD. And we have already experienced pressed and burned CD-ROMs. There will always be reports going both ways on which they had failures with, but from my recollection and personal experience pressed disks seem to be more dependable for longer then burned disks. Then there is how they are burned and the quality of the blank media. One can always buy highly-rated blanks and burn at slow speeds to improve their chances. But with the MOD approach we don't know how they are burned and what type of blank media they used. I've tried checking a few WB MOD disks and they don't appear to maintain any brand ID's. It could be their approach is better then what we can do at home, equal to, or worse. Unfortunately, it may be 10 years or so before we know for sure one way or another. By then we may not be able to get replacements if streaming takes over. So it is just an uneasy feeling some of us have about paying premium dollars for what might not last as long as we hoped.
I agree. I wonder if the people who like to dump on MOD have ever even bought a MOD set?

I've only had one set go bad on me, the Final Season of Walker, Texas Ranger a couple of years ago, blotches appeared over all the disks, which became unplayable. Fortunately I found a Replacement for less than Ten Bux, so it wasn't a major loss.

I bought FLIPPER season two, Harry-O, and now The Lieutenant. For me, the pricing was a hurdle I was willing to jump only because I wanted these sets. I don't trust burned or pressed discs to last for the forty-plus more years I hope to reside on this planet, so every few years I make fresh DVD-5 backups of stuff I can't live without, and continue playing the original with the backup in reserve. P.S. (edit) I love when I ask a question and someone answers it intelligently. Thanks, Brad.

^ Brad. We all can pull info pertaining to our individual DVD collections to make a point about this ongoing pressed vs burned media discussion. Mine, is that one factor that I look at is the overall "playability" when comparing pressed / burned discs. For example, I can't play some of the MOD discs in my PC drive's. I have 2 PC's and there are a few MOD discs that don't play in those drives. I know about the MOD disclaimer on the pkg's and it's not a big issue to me but since we're comparing things in this thread, that's worth mentioning to me as I use my laptop away from the house on occasion to watch dvd's and it' s something that I have to consider before leaving the house with a selection of dvd's. I have yet to encounter 1 pressed studio dvd that won't play back in either of my pc drives. I have recent vintage drives in both pc's. As far as pressed disc failures, the Universal dvd-18's that were mfg'd in the Mexixan plant several years ago are the only problem that I've seen in my collection. Uni corrected the problem and shortly afterword the overall trend was to discontinue the flipper discs in most TV/DVD sets. Aside from those Uni 18's from that era, I've had zero pressed disc defects. I have some that developed the "milky" surface issues but they all continue to play back without issues. Burned media is a mixed bag ot results for me but imo, the WBA discs are not an issue as they all play back good for me. Longetivity, the jury's still out imo, as I need to see more time elapse before coming to a conclusion there.

The Harry-O discs, which apparently are pressed, have problems, at least my set did. Disc two was faulty and had to be replaced and disc three won't play on my PC. So the discs may look pressed, but I am questioning if they are, and asking if there's a sure way to tell. Thanks.

I received my two-parts of "The Lieutenant" this weekend, and have to say that the release is a first-class knockout. I had not seen most of the episodes of this series ( I think I had caught one or two on cable a long time ago ), so this was a somewhat of a blind-buy for me based on the repudiation of the program, and the amazing array of talent associated with it. Warner has done an outstanding job with this series, with quality ranging from very good to excellent, and there is even a bonus 'feature film' (made for theaters overseas, like the U.N.C.L.E. movies) built around the final episode "To Kill a Man", which not only expands upon that final episode (and another earlier one), but actually contains a lot of footage (some of it a bit racy for the era) that seems to have been filmed especially for this 'feature film'. Gary Lockwood 'is' the series, and his work here is remarkable, as are all the performances. The actors who appear are a virtual 'who's who' of television history, including Bill Bixby, Linda Evans, Chad Everett, Ed Asner, as well as many who would later be associated with Mr. Roddenberry's later series (Leonard Nimoy, Walter Koenig, Nichelle Nicholls, Majel Barrett and Ricardo Moltalban are on hand for Trek-fans in notable roles) . It is a fascinating insight into the military of the era, and clearly a great deal of effort went into the making of this series. After watching most of the episodes over the weekend (I couldn't get to all of them, as they are 'vintage-long', so I skipped a few that I intend to watch later this week), I am delighted that I made this leap of faith, and purchased this set. it really is a buried gem that deserves to have been unearthed, which probably would not have ever happened had it not the Roddenberry pedigree to help support its ascent from obscurity. Although I am not one of the folks who have issues or concerns with the Warner Archive MOD releases which are burned vs. those which are pressed, for those who do care about such things, it is worth noting that my discs were indeed 'pressed'.

I don't know whether it has been confirmed, but there was a discussion in another threadt hat indicated WB might now be doing an initial limited run of pressed disks with burned disks to follow when they run out. This seems like a logical approach since a limited run could cost less then burning individually on demand and better supports the initial list of pre-orders. Then going MOD means no extra cost/supply issues when demand doesn't keep up with expectations. The last season i received of Night Court appeared to be pressed as well.
#17 of 62 OFFLINE
Posted August 20 2012 - 05:28 AM
It can also be a good money-making strategy for WB, because if the people who follow the Warner Archive releases know up-front that there will be an initial batch of 'pressed' copies, which will be replaced with MOD ones when supplies run out, that's a bigger incentive to pre-order (or order early) if they want the 'pressed' ones, rather than doing like I have done in the past and wait for one of their big sales. This way, they almost guarantee a lot of early buys and all at full-price.

Gone through the first two episodes and already I'm enjoying what I'm seeing. Beautiful quality transfer, and it's fascinating to see Robert Vaughn in a supporting role as a series regular just a year before Man From UNCLE for the same production company. I also have to admit that after years of only seeing the peacetime Marine Corps of this era on "Gomer Pyle" it's refreshing to see that there coud be a show that used the same setting in a dramatic context.

This is an OUTSTANDING release. I had never seen this series before, and only bought it based on reputation, and a hunger for good classic B&W TV that hasn't been over-exposed. The Lieutenant certainly fills the bill, and it is really a shame to see a program with this level of quality acting, writing, directing and overall production value that had been so overlooked and dismissed when originally broadcast. Then again, if it HAD been a hit....would we have ever gotten STAR TREK? That aside, kudos to Warner Brothers for excavating this jewel and giving it such TLC.

Last Christmas, I tore the wrapping paper off a rectangular box, expecting at best I'd see an iPad, at worst a Kindle. Instead, I was staring down at a board game: Settlers of Catan. In an era of Xboxes and Wiis, my gift ranked just above a framed photo of the gift-giver and just below nose hair clippers.
But multiple marathon gaming sessions later, Settlers of Catan stole my heart.
I'm not the only one. Over the past few years, Settlers of Catan has transformed from an activity enjoyed by a small niche of gamers into a mainstream hit. With sales nearing 25 million copies worldwide, Settlers of Catan is becoming the most popular board game since Risk and Monopoly.
After Settlers was first released in 1995, a small but passionate following emerged. It wasn't until a decade later that the game's popularity began to blossom. "The start of the tipping point was 2008," said Bob Carty, a spokesman for Settlers manufacturer Mayfair Games. "Settlers is three to five years away from being a household word." Last year alone, the game's sales grew 35 percent. Carty said that the game is mainly played by families, but it's also popular on college campuses and as a team-bonding activity at companies.
Part of Settlers' success can be attributed to its well-designed gameplay. Adam Weisberg, a finalist in the 2006 Settlers of Catan US Championship, notes that the game "is easy to learn because it draws on equal parts strategy, gamesmanship and luck." The rules give you enough choices to keep it interesting, without so many as to make it overwhelming. As a result, says Weisberg, "with a little luck, a sharp new player always has a chance to beat an expert."
Invented by German designer Klaus Teuber in the mid-1990s, Settlers of Catan involves three or four players building settlements, trading resources, and racing to earn 10 victory points. Each game begins with a shuffling of the board tiles, producing a wholly different board each time. Settlers allows players to produce resources, build roads and settlements, buy "development cards," and trade with one another.
Where games like Monopoly fall short—with playing times that far outlast the players' interest, particularly those who have little hope of victory—Settlers is designed to maintain close competition. Unlike games of Risk that can famously last for days, Settlers usually takes 90 minutes or less. And unlike many pastimes that quickly descend into cutthroat competitiveness, Settlers of Catan is not a zero-sum game. A single roll generally produces resources for multiple players, and trades are almost always mutually beneficial. Because Settlers is a unique game that rewards cooperation as much (if not more) as confrontation, Weisberg argues that it "brings out competitive spirits in a positive way."
Bergen Offentlige Bibliotek/flickr
Still, plenty of well-designed games remain mired in obscurity. There are a number of theories explaining how Settlers expanded out of the geek basement to corporate breakrooms and household living rooms. Blake Eskin argued in the Washington Post, for instance, that Settlers has taken hold because it exemplifies many aspects of our modern world, such as limited resources and intertwined global economies.

- Is it even being displayed during the test drives today?
- Does anyone have pics?
- What's your opinion of the modular console system, if you've seen it in person?
Those of us who'd like a solution for the central interior space are anxious for info. Thx.
I wasn't going to get in on this, but I do have something to say. What is a car for? Simple question really. At its roots, a car is a vehicle used to transport people from one location to another.
With that purpose firmly in mind, I ask this question seriously: why do people THINK they NEED somewhere in thier car store misc junk? What part of a cars purpose does it serve?
A storage console is a nice to have WANT, not a thing you NEED. I wish people would keep that in mind.
+1 Soflauthor. It is great. I would love to have one of those. I just hope that compliments
@Vawlkus, I understand what you are saying. But then again, cars have long gone from being something to take you from A to B. They (should) have a lot more, and for good reason. Radios, trunks, glove compartments, leather seating, cup-holders, A/C's, panoramic roofs, etc., have made the moving from A to B more and more pleasant and comfortable.
If all that we want is to move from A to B, then we don't have to shell-out > $50,000 to do that. Remember, after all the enthusiasts have purchased their Model S's, Tesla has to compete in the real world, where people want and need these features: Model S being electric is just an afterthought.
In the real world, Model S is a luxury premium car, which happens to be electric. And it competes with other premium cars, which offer a whole lot of options (some as upgrades).
These may be wants for some but are needs for some others. I, for one, need a place to put things. And I will get some after market compartment (which may ruin the interior). A storage is a NEED for me. Especially, if I travel long distances - I need a place to put a water bottle, my wallet, my cell phone, my sunglasses, change for parking, kleenex, etc. By the way, none of these are junk.
~ Prash.
PS: I think we have beaten this topic to death. Let's just wait and see what is available and take it from there.
@Vawlkus ... do you not have kids? do you not have a wife?
Do you not carry a pen, change, a charge cord, a tissue, anything? Or, you just jump in an go with pockets full crap and make do till you get to your destination. Well if that's the case, more power to you. For the rest of us who live in the real world, we need places to put stuff.
There are some things I like to leave in the car: gloves, ice scraper, wheel lock socket, phone charge cord, kleenex and napkins, dust mop, etc. Putting these things on the floor in plain sight doesn't seem all that sensible to me.
@Vawlkus, there are only two things you really NEED, food and shelter (for preventing environment from killing you). You don't even need shelter if environment is not hostile. Everything else is something you WANT.
Need is relative thing. You don't actually need a car. You don't need even shoes. Or pockets in your pants. You do want them, because they make moving and storing bits and pieces easier. I need storage in console for those bits and pieces I carry with me, be it wallet, raincoat, umbrella, a gizmo I just bought, laptop or tablet, gloves, ice scraper or anything I just don't want to waste time to put into trunk (or frunk).
I think we have beaten this topic to death. (prash)
I agree, but still I would like to give some comment.
I used to have this plastic foldable box that I kept in the trunk. It kept things like umbrella, ice scraper, gloves, etc. This could be perfectly kept in the square space in the frunk. The present space between the seats is comfortable enough for all other stuff like wallet, change and sunglasses. In my opinion. Just wait and see what junk you can trow out the box after one year. Hilarious...
Different people, different needs. Tesla is "acrossing the bridge" for those who have a different need than standard created. Respect ! Way to go ...
Some people have a larger "cloud" of debris, detritus, and accessories surrounding them as they move about than others. Everyone thinks his/her level is about right, and rational, and looks askance at others' strange tastes and habits. It will always be thus.
Please can we have an Update on the Factory "Opportunity Console". When will we see the final product? When will it be ready?
Bad form to post the exact same thing on (at least) 3 different threads. You're going to get flagged as spam if not careful.
I was not even thinking about Spaming. I am just trying to get a reply from TM and heat this up again so we see and hear something official. I just don't see this being talked about. I am maybe two months away and would like to get it with the car.
you will not get it with the car! if you order a thing without another thingy, it is very unlikely you will get the other thingy. Do you think TM is your mother and they just want to make sure your happy?
It's my guess that TM is focusing on the Model S roll-out and that the opportunity console may have been placed on the back burner, at least for now -- but that's just conjecture.
I can tell you unequivocally that work on the first aftermarket addition to the opportunity console—the center console insert (CCI)—is progressing well, that our alpha prototype will be fabricated this week, and barring last minute issues, that the final CCI product will be released on schedule in late December (2012).
For more information, visit www.teslaccessories.com
I seen yours, I must admit it looks much better than before. I will buy the CCI if TM does not complete theirs.
For those of you who have been following my work on the Center Console Insert (CCI) and for those who are new to the idea, I've posted another monthly report over at TMC on our progress on the only formally announced element of the opportunity console.
You can read it here:
In the report, we talk about progress toward the final product, minor design mods, production strategies, and reference new pics of a pre-alpha prototype. I hope you take a look.
Any updates on the Tesla version of this console?
I asked TM awhile back, maybe 4-5 weeks ago, they said the design is complete and just waiting to be approved by TM. If you email them maybe you'll get a date. I would love to see it in my new MS.

Anti-Graffiti Properties Provide Protection
By Cassandra Balentine
Part 2 of 2
Laminates are used to help protect graphics from a variety of elements. Graffiti is one challenge poised to many publically installed graphics. Anti-graffiti properties help combat the threat, to ensure graphics remain clean throughout their intended life.
Craig Campbell, graphic products market manager, ORAFOL Americas, suggests that the increased cost of an anti-graffiti laminate far offsets the cost of having to pay to produce and re-install graphics that have been ruined because of vandalism or defacing. He finds this especially true when it comes to large projects that require multiple graphics.
�Durability, functionality, and ease of use are key benefits to using an anti-graffiti laminate,� states Ronit McGuthrie, product manager, SEAL. �Anti-graffiti laminates generally have a longer outdoor life than standard, more economical films,� she adds.
Anti-graffiti laminates are found in many locations including bus kiosks, transit stations, billboards, and building wraps and even indoor applications such as wall murals and point of purchase (POP) graphics.
Anti-Graffiti Products
A variety of anti-graffiti laminates are available and recommended for large format graphics.
Arlon Graphics, LLC�s Series 3350 vinyl film is an anti-graffiti overlaminate. A 2-mil PVDF film with clear, permanent pressure-sensitive adhesive, its outdoor durability is rated up to ten years. The color fastness of prints can be extended up to two years beyond the ink manufacturer�s warranty when following print recommendations by the ink and printer manufacturers.
Avery Dennison Graphics Solutions provides DOL 6060 Anti-Graffiti film and the OL-1000 Premium Anti-Graffiti film. DOL 6060 has multiple application uses, including backlit signs, wall murals, window graphics, POP, trade show, and outdoor signage. David Timmerman, West Coast technical service representative, Avery Dennison, suggests this product is suited to protect signs from damage that are the most public at street level, including bus stops, transit signage, school areas, and wall graphics along busy walkways. The OL-1000 is designed for over reflective sheeting traffic signs.
Timmerman comments that while price varies between competing anti-graffiti laminates, it comes down to ease of application, ease of cleaning, and signage protection.
Drytac Corporation offers its Protac Anti-Graffiti pressure-sensitive laminating film, a 1-mil gloss vandal resistant, pollution protection film. According to Wayne Colbath, national sales manager, Southern U.S., Drytac, the film features five years outdoor durable usage and a high coat weight.
Colbath notes that the high coat weight of adhesive used in its product allows it to adhere to a variety of digital ink sets. �The adhesive offers five years outdoor durability, and is cleanable with many solvent and �green� cleaners,� he states.
GBC Arctic Anti-Graffiti is a polychlorotrifluoreothylene film with an estimated outdoor life of seven years. It is UV resistant in addition to stain, flame, and chemical resistant as well as plasticizer and stabilizer free.
Bob Elliott, product marketing, lamination, GBC, notes that its anti-graffiti laminating film is not a surface coating like many others. �The full thickness of the film has anti-graffiti properties, so even if someone scratches or cuts the film, or if it�s cleaned hundreds of times, the film retains its anti-graffiti properties,� he explains.
Grafityp Selfadhesive Products offers LAMPDF, a 50 micron glossy PVDF anti-graffiti laminating film. Designed for outdoor applications under the most extreme conditions, it features a solvent-based permanent acrylic adhesive.
ORAFOL provides its ORAGUARD 240 Anti-Graffiti Laminating Film designed with ETFE, which ensures paint or other marketing agents are easily removed with commercial cleaners or removers.
ORAGUARD 240 offers long-term graphic protection for as long as ten years. �Our product extends the life of OEM inks for up to five years,� adds Campbell.
SEAL offers its Print Shield Anti-Graffiti, a high-performance PCTFE film that protects UV and inkjet prints from a variety of stains and chemicals, such as paint and permanent markers. This plasticizer- and stabilizer-free film also offers the highest moisture barrier of any clear, flexible film and is also flame resistant.
McGuthrie says that most graffiti-resistant films have to be cleaned with chemicals, leaving the surface dull. However, Print Shield Anti-Graffiti can be cleaned with a mild household cleaner, such as Goo-Gone or even Isopropyl alcohol. �Graffiti is instantly removed, leaving the film at its original gloss level without ghosting. The benefit to that is the life of the graphic is extended and requires no professional cleaning,� adds McGuthrie.
Vandal Guard USA manufacturers Vandal Guard anti-graffiti laminate. Available in 54- and 36-inch by 100-foot rolls, it is a cold overlaminate designed to be applied over signs and graphics printed with inks with long lightfastness such as solvent, eco-solvent, latex, and UV. Apply over cast or calendared vinyl with a cold laminator or directly to flat substrates. Vandal Guard is also suitable for indoor/outdoor dry erase and flat window perforated applications. Most graffiti removal products available at any major home goods store easily remove graffiti from Vandal Guard. Also, solvents such as acetone, naptha, and lacquer thinner have proven to be effective.
Break from Tradition
Anti-graffiti options are designed for specific applications prone to vandalism. But what makes them different from traditional options? �Traditional laminates do not have the chemical resistance to spray paint and permanent markers�which are frequently used to damage signs�nor the chemicals and solvents used to clean vandalized signs that are protected with anti-graffiti laminates,� points out Avery�s Timmerman.
Campbell says that the added components make anti-graffiti laminates able to resist elements like paint and marketer from permanent staining. He notes that a majority of laminates used on a daily basis are PVC based, where most anti-graffiti laminates are polyester based.
While traditional laminates are designed to protect graphics against environmental elements such as rain, UV light, and even smudges or fingerprints, GBC�s Elliot points out that they are not typically able to deter or repel graffiti. �Anti-graffiti films not only do what regular laminates can, but also give an added layer of protection from all sorts of paints and markers,� he adds.
Added Protection
Laminates are needed to protect, and sometimes enhance, a printed graphic. However, specialty graphics provide unique traits designed for a more specific purpose. Anti-graffiti laminates are popular, especially as media applications enable print providers to offer solutions for nearly every surface�many vulnerable to vandalism in addition to regularly expected weathering and human interaction. Print providers should be well aware of the advantages these laminates provide.

Credit Agricole SA (ACA)'s Chief Executive Officer Jean-Paul Chifflet said the bank sees no need of a capital increase related to its Greek exposures.
"The group's internal resources should allow it to face this situation," Chifflet said, referring to mounting risks of a possible Greek exit from the euro. While Credit Agricole's management is working on the "worry" Greece could leave the European common currency, an exit isn't the main scenario, Chifflet said.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Home conditions still demand attention. Also, keep an open mind about a sudden question of trust involving a close friend. All the facts are not yet in.
The Sports Office at Fort Stewart will host a double-elimination softball tournament, open to company-level teams, at the Bennett Sports Complex May 13-14. The tourney is in celebration of Fitness Month.
Sebra Championship Bull Riding's Michael Riggs Invitational is scheduled for 8 p.m. May 13-14 at Richey Arena, 4240 Allen Sikes Road, Claxton.
"Breaking In" is a 30-minute comedy that made its debut in April. It airs Wednesdays after "American Idol" and follows Cam, an expert hacker who gets trapped into working for Contra Security, a firm that actually is hired to break past security for their clients in order to identify holes in their existing systems. Contra Security is run by Oz, played by Christian Slater.
HINESVILLE Liberty Stadium Cinemas
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A once-harmonious relationship appears to be hitting some sour notes. Spend some time together to see why things have gone off-key. What you learn might surprise you.
Mother's Day Brunch will be served Sunday at Club Stewart and at Hunter Club, building 6015. Carnations will be given to Moms.
Jazz in the Park, the outdoor concert series by the sea that brings local musicians to St. Simons Island for six evenings of music, will kick off the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend.
Have you ever participated in National Novel Writing Month? It's a fun program that happens every November, where folks just like you and me furiously try to write a novel in one month.
HINESVILLE, Liberty Stadium Cinemas
A celebration is planned to commemorate the Springfield Plantation's 256th birthday and the 150th anniversary of the start of the Civil War on Saturday, April 30. Plantation owners Laura and Meredith Devendorf will lead tours at 11 a.m., 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. over the grounds of the Springfield and Palmyra plantations, which are in Midway.
Play begins Monday at Club Stewart in a Texas Hold'em Tournament that will see a local winner emerge from finals in June. A player meeting on Friday will go over rules and to provide other information.
The film I will review today asks audiences to adapt - or die. Titled, "Hanna," it is an unusual action thriller in theaters now. The story follows a teenage girl who was raised in the wilds of Finland with her father.
HINESVILLE Liberty Stadium Cinemas
Acclaimed "CSI New York" actor and USO supporter Gary Sinise and the Lt. Dan Band will perform at 2 p.m. Saturday at Fort Stewart's Walker Field. The public is invited to the free concert.
"Exodus: Gods and Kings" is another attempt by Hollywood to embrace spirituality on the big screen.
Ah, yes, it's that time of year again.
"The Penguins of Madagascar" is a spin-off from the successful "Madagascar" animated franchise, and while it has its moments of energy and humor, I think it would've been much more successful as a DVD release.

Will Coca-Cola Drop its Prices for Costco?
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Costco and Coca-Cola are in a price war -- and as the two duke it out, the membership warehouse club says it has terminated all new orders of Coke products.
This, of course, is not exactly good for Coca-Cola.
The beverage giant believes its prices are fair, but Costco says they are not wallet-friendly. The brands in question include Coke Classic, Cherry Coke, Black Cherry Vanilla Coke, Diet Coke, Coke Zero, Sprite and Squirt, Dasani Water and Vitamin Water.
Given all this, who do you think will be the first to blink, Costco or Coca-Cola? Take our poll below to see the consensus of TheStreet -- and don't forget to leave a comment.

Don't eat this book: fast food and the supersizing of America
G.P. Putnam's Sons, May 19, 2005 - Business & Economics - 308 pages
The literary debut of the funniest and most incisive new voice to come along since Michael Moore-and the acclaimed director of the film phenomenon of the year.
Can man live on fast food alone? Morgan Spurlock tried to do just that. For thirty days, he ate nothing but three "squares" a day from McDonald's as part of an investigation into the effects of fast food on American health. The resulting documentary won him resounding applause and a worldwide release that broke box-office records. Audiences were captivated by Spurlock's experiment, during which he gained twenty-five pounds, his blood pressure skyrocketed, and his libido all but disappeared.
But this story goes far beyond Spurlock's good-humored "Mc-Sickness." He traveled across the country-into schools, hospitals, and people's homes -to investigate school lunch programs, the marketing of fast food, and the declining emphasis on health and physical education. He looks at why fast food is so tasty, cheap, and ultimately seductive, and what Americans can do to turn the rising tide of obesity, hypertension, and diabetes that have accompanied its ever-growing popularity. He interviewed experts in twenty U.S. cities-from surgeon generals and kids to lawmakers and marketing gurus-who share their research, opinions, and "gut feelings" on our ever-expanding girth and what we can all do to offset a health crisis of supersized proportions.
In this groundbreaking, hilarious book, "benevolent muckraker" Morgan Spurlock debuts a wry investigative voice that will appeal to anyone interested in the health of our country, our children, and ourselves.

I didn't actually read this. I just picked it up from a free book bin, and left it lying around where my husband could see it. I think it worked as a reminder that eating fast food makes you gain weight. (he had some other excuse for the extra 20 pounds he packed on last semester) Read full review
