 Shine
a Light
Shine a Light: The IMAX Experience documents an astounding stage
performance by what is indisputably the world's greatest rock and roll
band, filmed by America's preeminent director, and an all-star crew of
the motion picture industry's leading cinematographers.
Academy Award®-winning director Martin Scorsese's concert documentary
will show the world the Rolling Stones as they've never seen before.
Filmed at the famed Beacon Theatre in New York City in Fall 2006,
Scorsese assembled a legendary team of cinematographers to capture the
raw energy of the legendary band.
Unlike Scorsese's previous big-event music films (he worked as an editor
on Woodstock and shot the definitive documentary on The Band for The
Last Waltz), Shine a Light focuses on the music, dispensing with the
talking head device and opting instead for spare pops of vintage
newsreel and TV footage as the only non-performance-based commentary on
the band.

 Grand
Canyon Adventure 3D: River at Risk
Set against the immense backdrop of a natural treasure,
Grand Canyon Adventure 3D: River at Risk will take audiences
on an exhilarating adventure down the Colorado River in the
company of a team of explorers who are committed to bringing
awareness to global water issues.
One of the world's mightiest rivers, the Colorado, no longer
reaches the sea. Every drop of river water is allocated to
agriculture and populations along the way, many of whom
don't even realize their connection to the river.
Narrated by Robert Redford, the river journey is a
compelling and emotional personal story for the film's main
characters, two fathers and their 18-year old daughters who
soon will be leaving home to make their own way.

 Sea
Monsters 3D
National Geographic transports audiences — through stunning
photo-realistic computer-generated 3D animation — back to the Late
Cretaceous period more than 65 million years ago, when a great inland
sea divided North America in two and covered most of Texas.
The film follows a family of Dolichorhynchops,
also known informally as “Dollies,” as they traverse ancient waters
populated with saber-toothed fish, prehistoric sharks and giant squid.
On their journey the Dollies encounter other extraordinary sea
creatures: lizard-like reptiles called Platecarpus that swallowed their
prey whole like snakes; Styxosaurus with necks nearly 20 feet long and
paddle-like fins as large as an adult human; and at the top of the food
chain, the monstrous Tylosaurus, a predator with no enemies.
