What’s “The Horse Whisperer” all about?
Here’s the Reader’s Digest version. After a devastating riding accident, a young girl and her beloved horse are left with serious physical and emotional scars. When her mother calls on the “Horse Whisperer” to help, she meets a rugged rancher who not only has an extraordinary gift with animals, but also an ability to enrich the lives of people around him.
Does it star anyone I know?
Stars? Oh yeah. Plenty of star power here! Academy Award winner Robert Redford (Best Director, 1980, Ordinary People), Academy Award nominee Kristin Scott Thomas (Best Actress, 1996, The English Patient), Sam Neill, and a young Scarlett Johansson star in a landmark motion picture for the entire family. With a cast like this they can’t miss right?
Bringing Down the House Blu Ray Review
Coming May 15th you can bring home the hilarious hijinks of Steve Martin and Queen Latifah in Bringing Down the House. This is the first time that this comedy will be available on blu ray. As I am writing this Amazon has this 1 disc blu ray listed at just $14.99 with free prime or super saver shipping! At this price this laugh out loud comedy is worth every penny.
Bringing Down the House features the hilarious duo of Steve Martin and Queen Latifah and as their unlikely friendship unfolds there are hilarious supporting actors in the mix as well such as Betty White and Eugene Levy!
Besides just featuring the hi-resolution rendition of the film there is also a commentary track with the director and writer. You will also find a behind the scenes featurette which is pretty well put together as well as a Queen Latifah music video. Additionally there is a “Godfather of Hop” featurette, which is very funny (although I don’t want to give away one of the funniest parts of the film this bonus features is definitely worth a watch after you watch the film).
My favorite addition to the many bonus features on this blu ray is the deleted scenes and gag reel. I have always thought this movie was hilarious but there are a couple of deleted scenes that I laughed so hard at I wondered why they had ever landed on the cutting room floor! And I am just a sucker for a gag reel and a fan girl of Steve Martin! When you pick up this blu ray I recommend the gag reel as your first stop! I watched it a few times back to back!
While this may not be your favorite comedy of all time Bringing Down the House really is under rated and I highly recommend checking it out. For the price of the blu ray and the fun bonus features its worth picking up a copy of your own on May 15th!
