... predators use the internet to lure and sexually abuse youngsters. It was directed by David Schwimmer ( Friends ) and he does an excellent job in handling this truly horrific and sensitive subject matter. Liana Liberato plays the 13 year old victim, and she is one heckuva little actress, in a role that even a mature actress would find difficult to pull off. Clive Owen plays the father and Catherine Keener the mother whose lives become shattered and forever changed by the horror of their daughter's rape by a pedophile. This is pretty dynamic stuff and the actors pull it off, making it all too real at times. I doubt if this " little " film got much of an audience but the wife and I both felt it should be mandatory viewing for anyone with children who spend a lot of time in chat rooms on the internet and with all that twittering. And although there were scenes that made me feel uncomfortable, I highly recommend this film.

Adrien Brody and some others are dropped mysteriously into the jungle of an unknown planet and must fight for survival when they realize they are being hunted by Predators.

I have a Rotel 1040, I tried to play a recorded home movie on DVD-R (finalized) and it dosen't play, in fact, it can't read it. But to my surprise, it plays on a $150 dvd player. In fact, the DVD-R plays on all the dvd players in my home, except the Rotel, I think I will return it for a differnet one.... -
Very strange, But when I try to watch the SDDVD of "When the Earth Stood Still" on my Samsung B/R player it only plays the Trailer and Previews. It won't play the movie. Black screen only. But, it plays fine on my older Sony B/R player.
Any ideas?
