On behalf of Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, Screenhead held a giveaway for Made in Dagenham, a new film based on true events from the director of Calendar Girls, which is now available on DVD and Blu-ray. We have pick our winner of the giveaway!

Michelle r is the winner, and she says she would love to see this movie. Well, her wish has come true, congratulations!

I love watching movies that are extraordinary story and based on true events.  Confronting a male-dominated corporate machine and the oppressive attitudes of her times, Rita O’Grady (Golden Globe winner Sally Hawkins) leads her female co-workers in a struggle for rights, respect and equal pay that will change the “man’s world” forever.

In Dagenham, England 1968, at the town’s local Ford automobile plant, Rita is one of only 187 women in a workforce of 55,000 men. Facing overwhelming opposition in this “man’s world,” Rita rallies her female co-workers to fight for equal pay — a stand that defies the corporate status quo, threatens her marriage, and ultimately exacts a tragic toll. But with the support of the shop’s steward (Golden Globe winner Bob Hoskins) and the government’s Employment Secretary (two-time Golden Globe winner Miranda Richardson), the women become the sensation of the nation — and the catalyst for a profound turning point in time.

Screenhead ran a very exciting giveaway to promote Tom Shadyac’s upcoming documentary, I AM. We had an awesome prize pack available for the giveaway. Seven DVDs from Shadyac’s past movies, so you know that this guy can direct!

The lucky winner is Courtney S.  Congratulations Courtney!  We hope you enjoy your DVDs, all signed by Mr. Shadyac himself!

His new movie is described as “a prismatic and probing exploration of our world, what’s wrong with it, and what we can do to make it better,” I AM recounts what happened to Tom after a cycling accident left him incapacitated, possibly for good.  Though he ultimately recovered, he emerged a changed man.

Written and directed by Shadyac  and armed with nothing but his innate curiosity and a camera crew, Shadyac embarks upon a journey to discover how he as an individual, and we as a race, can improve the way we live.

Appearing on-screen as character, commentator, guide, and even, at times, guinea pig, Shadyac meets with a variety of thinkers and doers–remarkable men and women from the worlds of science, philosophy, and faith–including such luminaries as David Suzuki, Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Lynne McTaggart, Ray Anderson, John Francis, Coleman Barks, and Marc Ian Barasch.

An irrepressible Everyman who asks many questions but offers no easy answers, he takes the audience to places it has never been before, and presents even familiar phenomena in completely new and different ways.

Crystle Tellerday says she loves Veggie Tales, and I don’t blame her because they are fun to watch.  My daughter tells me all the funny situations these vegetables get into as they try to solve a problem.

Anyway, Screehead held a giveaway for VeggieTales newest DVD is the first new Easter holiday DVD in seven years: ‘Twas The Night Before Easter. The faith-based DVD is available in Christian and general market stores.

Crystle, I hope you enjoy the DVD!

This brand new DVD features plenty of fun music as well as a new character—Cassie Cassava—voiced by American Idol top finalist Melinda Doolittle. Other memorable family-friendly content includes silly songs, interviews and a backstage pass feature with Larry the Cucumber on the “VeggieTales Live!” tour. ‘Twas The Night Before Easter examines how important it is to help other people while exploring the real meaning of Easter.

“We hatched ‘Twas The Night Before Easter as a holiday surprise for families,” said Leslie Ferrell, General Manager of Big Idea Entertainment, the company that produces VeggieTales. “This title follows the huge sales success our first Easter-themed release, An Easter Carol, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to deliver a new DVD timed to the holiday this year. It was truly a rewarding experience working with Melinda Doolittle, and we think fans are going to love her character, Cassie Cassava, just as much as her wonderful singing!”

Its Easter time in Crisper County and cable news reporter Marlee Meade is hunting for a way to help others. She cooks up a plan to save the old theater with a cast of costume-clad townies, massive props and a 20-foot robot rabbit to perform “Up With Bunnies.”

Now there’s only one thing missing – the star of the show! When word spreads that singing sensation Cassie Cassava (Melinda Doolittle) is arriving to perform in her hometown church’s Easter service, Marlee schemes to steal the starlet for her own pageant! But when things go haywire, will it be curtains for Marlee’s dreams – or will she discover the true meaning of Easter and what helping others is really all about?

My daughter has been watching VeggieTales since she was in preschool. As my constant feedback for all children friendly DVDs, she has offered her opinion of the VeggieTales latest.

“It’s funny.”  She talked about the different situations that arose in the story, which sounded like a situation comedy. She loved how the movie was upbeat. She even watched the special features, which shows how to draw the characters of the movie, pretty cool!

Laura won the t-shirt and she thinks it is an awesome prize. Thanks Laura and wear the t-shirt well. We hope you will be able to catch Marcel’s show and wear the t-shirt at the same time.

Syfy network teaming up with Marcel Vigneron, one of Top Chef’s and most infamous chefs ever, to create a brand new reality cooking series called Marcel’s Quantum Kitchen.

The series premiered last week and airs every Tuesday.  It’s fun to watch Marcel as he dreams up creative menus and produces extraordinary events and celebrations for all types of occasions while having to use every ounce of imagination and scientific experimentation in order to deliver a once in a lifetime experience.

I wonder what he is going to whip up this week.  Whatever it he does, it will be amazing and fun to watch.

Jill Myrick is the winner of Screenhead’s online giveaway to promote the Sony Pictures Home Entertainment film, Faster. The Dwayne Johnson movie is available wherever DVDs are sold.

Our winner, Jill Myrick, says “This is a movie that my husband and I would enjoy watching together.” Now that you won the DVD, your husband will enjoy the action while you enjoy watching Dwayne Johnson. I love the storyline because it suits Dwayne Johnson so well. The character reminds me of his wrestling days as “The Rock.”

After 10 years in prison, Driver (Johnson) has focused on one thing – hunting down the people responsible for brutally murdering his brother.

Now a free man with a terrifying purpose, he sets out to find and kill all those on his list. But on his heels are two men who will do anything to stop him – a veteran cop (Billy Bob Thornton) and a hit man (Oliver Jackson-Cohen). The Driver may have found his match as we watch the movie and figure out who is the hunter and who is the hunted.

Here is the movie trailer, which is intense!

Gala is our winner of Screenhead’s giveaway for Timmy Time: Timmy Steals the Show first-ever DVD from the all-new Preschool series on Playhouse Disney from the Oscar-winning creators of Wallace and Gromit and Shaun the Sheep! Gala won the Timmy Time DVD and Plush Toy!

Gala says, “My kids love it!”

Fans of the brilliant, Oscar-winning Aardman studios hit children’s series Shaun the Sheep will recognize Timmy as the baby lamb on the farm who is frequently drawn into all kinds of chaotic adventures by the mischievous older sheep. Used to having his way by being “the only lamb in the flock,” Timmy is now heading to preschool with a lot to learn about playing nicely with others, namely his fellow classmates of the furry, feathered and spiky types.

Preschoolers will find both familiarity and fun in Timmy and his friends’ hilarious everyday antics; spilled paint, dealing with beloved blankies and accidentally breaking a window while playing catch (OOPS!). The non-dialogue approach to storytelling and Aardman’s unique and endearing claymation-style animation is perfect for young viewers.

A Woman, a Gun and a Noodle Shop is available wherever DVDs are sold or rented.

Zhang Yimou directs a story about an almost perfect plan: the affair will come to a cruel but satisfying end when a Chinese noodle shop owner plots to execute his unfaithful wife and her lover. But the lover has a lethal plan of his own in this violent tale of adultery and revenge based on the Coen Brother’s debut classic Blood Simple.
