Synopsis

A straightforward translation assignment in a high school French class leads to unexpected drama for Simon, an imaginative Canadian student, and his teacher, Sabine. The son of a Palestinian father, Simon takes an article about a terrorist plot and weaves it into his own tragic family history. Encouraged by Sabine, Simon passes the tale off as a true story — but the ramifications of this action, which end up online, deliver surprising results.

DVD Releases for October 13th, 2009

October 12th, 2009

Not a great week for home market releases. The best-selling DVD is The Proposal while Drag Me To Hell will likely be the best selling Blu-ray title of the week. Drag Me To Hell could have been a DVD Pick of the Week, but weak extras leads me to believe there will be a special edition coming out sooner rather than later. More...
