Shark Collection DVD Review and #Giveaway


        I have been so fortunate to have two boys who have become quite predictable as time goes on.  They have thankfully not changed their likes and dislikes too much over the years.  Those of us with children know that when you have kids they grow out of things faster than you can blink an eye especially before age 5.  Its amazing to me how quickly time flashes by.  Besides dinosaurs, Dane has also always had a fondness for any type of water creatures.  We are constantly watching the television show "River Monsters" and forget about Shark week!  The boys love watching everything and anything involving sharks, even the odd shows like "Sharknato".


        So when I was I was asked to review the latest release - Shark Collection by Inception Media, I was pretty excited and knew it would be something the boys would enjoy!  My expectations weren't set too high even though I thought it looked up the boys alley.  On July 22nd, 2014, Inception Media Group released the Shark Collection on DVD.

        The synopsis says "Sharks are universally feared, but also widely misunderstood and suddenly endangered. Marine biologists, shark experts and conservationists are doing everything they can to reverse the tide of public opinion before it’s too late ... Even if it means diving into infested waters where sharks hold every advantage.

The Smithsonian Channel’s Shark Collection includes three exciting programs that take you from Australia’s Great Barrier Reef to the remote shores of Africa’s east coast to the operating room of a shark autopsy to explore what makes these fish so unique.

In Great White Code Red, two scientists dissect a shark to reveal the hunting secrets that drive this fearsome animal to attack. Shark Girl follows activist Madison Stewart’s mission to save the creatures she loves by changing people's minds about them. Death Beach investigates an abnormal string of shark attacks off a South African coast."

        The two boys truly enjoyed the movie but especially Dane.  He was hooked from the minute arrived.  I honestly have to say I was too!  I loved watching the chick from Australia who braved the shark infested waters at a very young age!  Dane has made it appoint to memorize tons of the facts and watching this DVD has become a frequent happening in our household!

Suggested Retail Price:  $19.98
Recommendation:  Originally, I would have said this would probably not be worth the money and would be a boring DVD to watch.  Now, I can honestly say I thought it was better than any other DVD from Inception media and the boys loved it as well as myself!
