This is Not a Ball is a documentary that follows the creative process of acclaimed Brazilian artist Vik Muniz in the months leading up to the 2014 World Cup as he plans and creates a major new artwork made of 10,000 soccer balls.
The documentary follows Muniz as he explores the global passion for soccer and the game’s central object, the ball. In his journey, Muniz interacts with some of the most playful minds in science, like astrophysicist Neil deGrass Tyson and some of the most extraordinary soccer players in the world, like the Sierra Leone Amputee Soccer League. While the beginning of the film is promising enough, it seems that problems arise when Muniz forcefully attempts to inject himself as a key player. The journey, an exploration of the passion for soccer that evolves into a history of the ball (a sort of film version of the anthropologist John Fox’s 2012 book, “The Ball”) but in general is stronger than ever even you will see poverty, the oppression, and the daily life difficulties, at the end of the day the passion for the soccer is a tradition handed down over generations. Definitely you will distinguish a story full of adventures in organization and production that involves a Soccer ball, team and soccer aficionados.

Who would not like to have a group of handsome doctors around before a surgical operation? Well for this coming summer a group of Army doctors return to work on the night shift at a hospital in San Antonio, particularly adrenaline junkie TC Callahan (Eoin Macken, “Merlin”). After three grueling tours of duty in Afghanistan, TC is about to learn that his toughest battles will be fought right here at home.
He and his irreverent team of late-night docs, including his best friend Topher (Ken Leung, “Lost”) and protégé Drew (Brendan Fehr, “Roswell”), know how to let off steam with the casual prank or two, but when lives are at stake, they are all business.
This action-packed medical drama features a strong ensemble cast including two wonderful Latino actors, Freddy Rodriguez, whom you may remember from “Six Feet Under,” and Daniella Alonso, who recently starred in our suspenseful drama “Revolution.”
The entire cast, including Eoin Macken, Jill Flint,Ken Leung, Brendan Fehr, Jeananne Goossen, JR Lemon and Robert Bailey Jr. as well as Freddy and Daniella Alonso. Definitely, is a super drama when the day ends, their work begins and the characters work well who are involved in topics such as homosexuality, passion, bravery for some facts that some characters have to face and betrayal. The risk of death and stressful relationships and social life can suffer, too because is not the Grey’s first season as many think is much better due this drama is full of cool’ doctors being fun and spontaneous with hysterical and dramatic moments that make you want to watch them at the Night Shift.

A typical romantic comedy comes with About Last Night and its contemporary version closely follows new love for two couples as they journey from the bar to the bedroom and are eventually put to the test in the real world. From the director Steve Pink his movie does an awesome job depicting the realities of relationships. Kenvin Hart is so funny and talented. However the crux of the movie centers on the relationship between Michael Ealy and Joy Bryant and it will get you thinking and talking about your relationship if you are in one (the stages you have been in and will go through). The plot is really entertaining and the director did a nice job directing.
Now you can have this great movie in Blu-ray and DVD enjoying hookups and breakups in a funniest manner with special features such as high definition, audio in English, French, Spanish and subtitles with the same languages.

Pompe II has passion for history and was directed by Paul W.S. Anderson, an adept handler of eye-popping 3D spectacle now is available in Blu-ray, DVD including a talented cast and characters and “The Volcanic Eruption-Special Effects.” The film travels back in time to 79 AD. It revolves around Pompeii, an outlying Roman metropolis that is found at the bottom of Mt Vesuvius — a volcanic mountain.
A young boy called Milo (Kit Harington of Game of Thrones) witnesses the slaughter of his tribe at the hands of Roman soldiers, led by Roman commander Corvus (Kiefer Sutherland). Thus, Milo becomes the sole survivor of a Celtic horse tribe. He is then raised as a slave, and 17 years later, becomes a gladiator who is taken to Pompeii to battle Atticus (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje), an African gladiator who is one fight away from earning his freedom.
A movie full of violence and tragedy bit this makes it more realistic and highly entertaining, never boring. Milo and Atticus take on a battalion of Roman soldiers and both are involved in destruction of the place. Interaction between the characters was fine given the length of time between the start of the movie and the eruption of Pompeii. The acting of the cast was well done. The 3-D effect had you brushing volcanic ash out of your hair and the film, it is definitely worth the watch.
