Not so bad. 4 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.
In my opinion, the movie really isn't as bad as everyone says; I've got one problem with it, and that is the actual footage of the Meerkats shown in the movie are just random Meerkats that basically happened to 'do what the film crew wanted them to,' and when they did, they edited the tape together to give us the movie. If the movie was actually filmed like the Meerkat Manor series in which the actual named Meerkats are being filmed in their lives, then the movie would have been much more pleasing.
Whoopi's narrative is a bit different from what viewers may be used to, but I think she adds something 'special' and different for the movie, since the movie IS a bit different from the series. It's a good 'prequel' to the series for someone who has never seen it.
I still favour the series over the movie, but the movie is still worth seeing if you love meerkats and are open-minded to a different narrator.
Editorial Review:
Every great story has a magical beginning especially when that story involves the real-life adventures of a unique family of meerkats known as the Whiskers and their most beloved member, Flower. As prequel to the Meerkat Manor television series, this feature film traces the rise of Flower from a young meerkat pup to the leader of the pack. Watch as Flower blooms into a remarkable matriarch and forges a legacy amidst the unforgiving landscape of one of the harshest deserts on the planet the Kalahari. Narrated by Academy Award® -winning actress Whoopi Goldberg, Meerkat Manor: The Story Begins will warm your heart and leave you awed by the magic of Flower s journey.

Editorial Review:
Each and every Marine Corps recruit has to survive 12 weeks of Boot Camp. It is perhaps the toughest 12 weeks anyone can imagine - especially for those whose average age is 19. To become one of the few and the proud, these recruits must first learn just to survive. More than just a showcase of grueling training, these three hours will shed light on the lives and backgrounds of those who make the decision to become United States Marines. Tragically, the events of September 11th take place in the middle of the sixth week of training. But for most recruits, the acts of terrorism only strengthen their resolve to become modern soldiers. Episode 1. Parris Island- Phase One: Follow young recruits as they prepare for Boot Camp at Parris Island. From all over the eastern U.S., they roll off the bus in the middle of the night and begin their transformation into U.S. Marines. Episode 2. Parris Island- Phase Two: The recruits at Parris Island learn to cope with the punishing regimen of physical training and mental conditioning. In the confidence course, they are pushed beyond their limits. Nerves become frayed, and attrition takes its toll. Episode 3. Parris Island- Phase Three: Training becomes more demanding as the recruits enter the 54-hour Crucible. Upon completion of this final test, they march to the mess hall for the Warrior's breakfast.

Explosive volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, floods and even human beings contribute to the constant changes on the Earth's surface. Uncover the deep mysteries of our planet with top geologists in Faces Of Earth. Using state-of-the-art computer animation and stunning photography, these four in-depth, compelling programs explore how these forces shape the Earth and how, in turn, the Earth has shaped human evolution. Includes:
Building the Planet
Witness the explosion that formed planet Earth, and travel back in time to explore the evolution of the Earth we know today. New technologies allow today's geoscientists to strip back the layers of Earth to see what previously could only be imagined.
Shaping the Planet Earthquakes rumble, volcanoes explode, land is stretched and pulled like taffy - pushing up mountains and creating new oceans. Special effects and advanced animation techniques take viewers inside tectonic events to find out why the ground constantly shifts under our feet.
Assembling America The land we see today was shaped over hundreds of millions of years. Guided by leading geoscientists, we unravel the mysteries of continent-building and the almost unimaginable span of geologic time.
Human World Beginning with the dawn of agriculture, mankind has moved from simply reacting to Earth's processes to shaping the planet. But are we pushing too hard and upsetting this delicate balance?

Editorial Review:
Welcome to the fascinating secret world of weapons development. Join ex-Navy SEAL Richard "Mack" Machowicz on a wild ride around the globe in search of the ultimate weapon. The series explores the amazing science and technology that goes into making the most deadly weapons yet devised, and you'll meet the bizarre characters who spend their lives inventing new ways to obliterate the enemy. Mack gets "hands on" with the groundbreaking hardware, firing everything from smart missiles to futuristic lasers in demonstrations that will shock and amaze you. No Place to Hide: From guns that shoot around corners to the world's most advanced supersonic jet fighter, these innovative weapons leave the enemy with no place to hide and with no clue where the attack is coming from.
Stealth: Modern warfare is about creeping up on your target unseen. In fact, the enemy of the future probably will be invisible because of the dark and secretive world of stealth technology.
Maximum Impact: These weapons guarantee complete destruction of their extensive targets. They include Metal Storm, the most destructive automatic gun ever created; the cave-crushing thermobaric bomb; and the beatable Multiple Rocket Launch System.
Future Shock: Peer into the future with weapons more subtle and sinister than anything ever seen before. From powerful lasers to bombs that destroy through electromagnetics, the dynamics of warfare are about to change.
Smart Weapons: Just how smart are the weapons of tomorrow? We go in search of the latest, cleverest and most terrifying technology - weapons that actually seek out and destroy targets by themselves, nearly unaided by humans.
The Power of Fear: The mere thought of these future weapons can inflict terror in our everyday lives. Weapons like the Sensor Fuzed Weapon, which can reduce a line of tanks to dust, and the Massive Ordnance Air Burst (MOAB), which can take out two city blocks.

A Great Discovery show 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.
Rather than just show who these killers are and what they did (many of whom we already know about) Dr. Stone actually created a scale from 1 thru 21 and grades each killer according to their crimes and mental attitude. Its this take that makes the show different. The higher the score the more "evil" the subject. As your watching your guessing who is "Most Evil". Who do you think scored highest? Dahmer? Bundy? Gines?
The best show on the Discovery channel 5 out of 5 stars.

This is the best show from the Discovery Channel I never miss it and have actually seen every episode several times. If you like to learn or just are intrigued about how a serial killer could it, this is a GREAT show.
Editorial Review:
Since time began, people have been fascinated with the question, "What drives someone to kill?" Forensic psychiatrist Dr. Michael Stone explores the answer to this mystery and much more with his groundbreaking "index of depravity" that decodes the killer's mind, method and motive. These 14 intriguing episodes from Seasons 1 and 2 dare to look into the many different faces of evil, ranging from our most notorious serial killers to real-life cannibals and vampires.

I love this collection of episodes. It contains 20 episodes (4 discs)of the Discovery Channel show "I Shouldn't Be Alive". Each episode details an event where people, sometimes through poor decision making, sometimes through just bad luck, end up in a life threatening situation. Then the story is told of what the people did to either survive or in some cases die. It really makes you think what you would do in their situations, as well as teaching you some handy survival tips. They tell the story through interviews with the actual survivors and dramatic reenactments (done very well with professional actors). Ever want to know what to do (or not do) if you are stuck on a life raft with no provisions, or how to talk your way out of a hostage situation? Live and learn from the people who have been there.
Editorial Review:
Survivors of harrowing life-and-death situations relive their terrifying experiences in this addictive, thrilling series. From a father forced to abandon his son in a hidden cave to a crew of inexperienced sailors struggling to survive in shark-infested waters, these are ordinary people pushed to the limits of human endurance. Under the same circumstances, would you have the raw courage, the nerves of steel, the sheer luck required to make it out alive? With these 20 episodes, you'll be amazed at the power of the will to survive in some of the most extreme situations you could ever imagine.
