I am thinking. So far I can't remember ANY new movies the last few years WORTH $35! Maybe Seabisquit?

Don - I understand there is some scientific evidence here. I was referring to the sensationalist attitude of the article. e.g.
The article quotes the fact that 4 hurricanes recently hit Florida as being proof of global climate change. That is not evidence. If the number of hurricanes and/or the average intensity is increasing (and if that pattern held for more than just one or two years) THEN you could make that kind of statement. If not it's just bad luck for Florida.

Allen, I agree on the Hurricanes. It was just bad luck they all hit land this year. Farther down in the news item was this quote:
"Recent history tells us that hurricanes are not becoming more frequent," James O'Brien, a professor of meteorology and oceanography at Florida State University and colleague said in a recent statement."
The film does seem to have fulfilled it's political purpose of bringing the public's attention to the environmental issue of global warming regardless of which side you take.

Wife grabbed this on DVD so oh well for the D-Theater version. The science explaining how animals could have been frozen instantly due to a cold air cell never seen in our lifetime sure was intriguing.
I found it certainly worthy of a one time view but I won't be getting the HD version.
