I recently bought the DVD with former Vice-President Al Gore, Jr called An Inconvenient Truth. The movie was released in US theaters on May 24, 2006 and was released on DVD on November 21, 2006. The movie grossed about $24 million in the US and about $48.5 million worldwide (including the US gross). Al Gore, Jr. was born March 31, 1948 in Washington, DC. He does an awesome job of getting the attention of common folk, like me and perhaps like you. I plan on promoting this DVD on my main website called El Mundo De Monte Mendoza. He makes the issue of global warming very clear and easy to understand. I do my small part to help reduce global warming by taking the bus as often as possible. I plan on spending more time reading and studying about this issue and other environmental issues as well. There is also an excellent song by Melissa Etheridge in the movie called I Need To Wake Up. One of the extras on the DVD is the video of that song that Melissa wrote and performs. That song is on certain copies of her greatest hits CD called The Road Less Traveled. It is song number 18 on those certain limited edition CDs. I have that CD, but it has only 17 songs, ending with I Run For Life, which is also an excellent song. Thank you Al Gore for inspiring me to make changes in my life that will in a small, but important way, impact our future. I pray that you live a long life and that you continue this excellent mission that you are undertaking. For more information, see Al Gore's website called ClimateCrisis.net. There is a link below for that site. This movie won two Oscars. One for Best Feature Documentary and one for Best Original Song. This movie won several other awards also, which are listed in the link below for www.wikipedia.com . This is a perfect DVD to watch for Earth Day 2007 on Sunday, April 22, or for ANY day of the year...since every day truly needs to be Earth Day. I spent four hours of Earth Day 2007 picking up trash at a public park in Phoenix. I have been picking up trash year-round since 1974. I then came home and watched the DVD The Day After Tomorrow, the 2004 movie starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Dennis Quaid. Those two movies make a great double feature. On May 13, 2007, Sunday, I began reading the 328+ page softcover book by Al Gore. It costs $21.95 and it has a BUNCH of pictures, charts and graphs. If you want to order it, the ISBN for An Inconvenient Truth (the softcover book) is 1-59486-567-1. It should be very enlightening and informative. It was published in 2005.
