This is Episode 1: From Pole to Pole
The lives of animals and plants are dominated by the sun and fresh water which trigger seasonal journeys. The latest technology and aerial photography enable the Planet Earth team to track some of the greatest mass migrations.

The definitive series on the most colorful, popular and perfectly adapted creatures on earth, The Life of Birds traverses the globe, covering 42 countries and examining over 300 different species. Calling upon the immense skills of many of the world's top wildlife cameramen and women, and pushing filming technology to the limits, new behavior is brought to the screen in staggering detail. Infra-red cameras find oilbirds deep in pitch black caves. Ultra slow motion film unravels the complexities of bird flight and ultraviolet cameras reveal the world from a bird's point of view.

Christopher (Christopher Buchholz), a fortyish American man and his Italian wife Cloe (Regina Nemni), have come to an impasse in their relationship. They barely notice the magnificent ruins and landscapes of Italy-let alone each other. Even though Cloe is sunbathing topless, he doesn't glance at her body. "Why don't you admit that it's over, so it will be clear once and for all and we'll know what to do?" Cloe asks.

Un entretenido video que será la delicia de los más pequeños de la casa (y de los no tan pequeños). En una escuela del tipo de la de Harry Potter, se enseñará a los niños a hacer trucos de magia muy simple y didácticos, desde construir la varita y el sombrero, hasta sorprender a sus amigos desapareciendo monedas o uniendo sogas rotas.
A disfrutar!

The ill fated Ardennes Offensive, better known to the allies as the Battle Of The Bulge was Hitler's last great gamble in the west during World War II. It was here that the Panzers and the mighty King Tigers played their last significant role.

The highly specialised and adapted British armour played a leading role in the tank battles in Normandy. The Churchill AVRE, the Sherman Duplex Drive and a host of other variants each played their part in defeating the forces of Nazi Germany.

Operation Citadel, the great German offensive designed to deliver a knockout blow against the salient at Kursk was to prove the last great armoured offensive in the East. New machines such as the Elefant took their bow and the trusty Panzer III came to the end of the line.

This is the powerful story of how Adolph Hitler was able to harness the potential of the tank to bring the mighty Soviet Union to its knees.

Well, this is quite probably one of the most uncategorisable films I've seen - you couldn't possibly call it a comedy, with its beauty salons that moonlight as abortion clinics/brothels, and its disturbingly self-lacerating portrait of the director as a cowardly lecher and cold-blooded murderer. But parts of it are hilarious. Go figure. In brief, the plot concerns Guy Maddin, hockey player for the Winnipeg Maroons, who takes his pregnant girlfriend to the above-mentioned clinic for a termination and then leaves her (literally in the middle of the procedure) for the brothel-keeper's beautiful daughter, played with incandescent and slightly scary intensity by Melissa Dionisio (that surely cant be her real name, can it?) only to discover that she can't allow herself to be touched by a man's hands (an uncharacteristically direct quote from Lon Chaney's 'The Unknown') until her father's murder has been avenged. And then she produced the jar in which she keeps, preserved, her father's hands… After that we get a twist on that old chestnut 'The Hands of Orlac', combined with a surprisingly explicit dose of sexual excess and weird psychology, as young Guy ends up in deep trouble of every sort imaginable, through his own inability to control his lusts. Told in ten chapters of six minutes apiece, this was intended as a gallery installation but it works just fine as a movie. As long as you don't mind a regular dose of jawdropping strangeness and a large splash of shocking, unfathomable directorial masochism.

At the pinnacle of mixed martial arts (MMA) is the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), which has sought to legitimize MMA in a league that has become a pop culture phenomenon. Now, scientists analyze the unique fighting styles and capabilities of legendary fighters like Randy Couture, former UFC heavyweight champion Bas Rutten, former UFC light heavyweight champion Tito Ortiz and two-time world submission grappling champion Dean Lister. Among the results, scientists determine that Rutten's kick generates a force equivalent to a 35 mph (56 kph) car crash, and Couture's endurance is nearly 10 times better than that of the average person and his blows generate double the force of a heavyweight boxer's best punch.
