I was given the opportunity to review the Into the Wild 2-Disc DVD set this past week. It was released a few weeks ago and should be available anywhere you buy DVDs. If you'd like to win a FREE copy just drop by the Forum and post why you want a copy... we'll select a winner next week and get you a copy of this great film!

As far as the film goes, it was excellent. Although it didn't end up winning an Oscar, Into the Wild was definitely recognized as one of the better flicks this year.

Here are the stats...

Pricing: $29.99 U.S./$36.99 Canada (Single-disc DVD)

$39.99 U.S./$45.99 Canada (Two-Disc Special Edition DVD)

Runtime: 148 minutes

U.S. Rating: R for language and some nudity

Canadian Rating: 14A for coarse language, nudity and sexual content

I thought the 2 disc set I reviewed had all that you would expect and more. It includes sections for The Story and The Characters where you will see interviews with all the actors and their thoughts on the story as well as the film. You'll also see behind the scenes footage from the set. There is also an interview with Jon Krakauer which is pretty interesting.

The Experience is a section that includes more detail on what us Outdoor fanatics want to see... the locations. It gets into more detail on the 30 places the crew filmed at along with information from the director Sean Penn. There is also some commentary from Eddie Vedder, who created the soundtrack for the film.

If you get a chance to check this film out or pick up the 2 disc set, I'd do it. It's one of those movies that you'll finish and then talk about for days to come with whomever you watched it with. Then you'll start asking people if they saw it, and what they thought of it.
