Noel (Flexplay 48-Hour DVD) - Amazon.com Exclusive
Flexplay is a new kind of DVD that offers the watch-anytime, take-anywhere convenience of a DVD you buy, at a price comparable to a DVD rental--without the hassles of returns or late fees. Flexplay DVDs work in all standard DVD players, with the same picture quality, surround sound, and other features of a regular DVD.  There is no special setup or configuration required! Flexplay DVDs are "activated" when you open the vacuum-sealed package (inside the yellow-topped Flexplay sleeve).  Once the package is opened, you have 48 hours to watch your DVD--as many times as you choose! Unopened Flexplay DVDs stay fresh in the package for about a year.  So you decide when to watch.AboutNoelAn all-star cast, featuring Oscar winner Susan Sarandon, Penelope Cruz, Paul Walker, and Oscar nominee Alan Arkin, delivers the true spirit of the holiday season in an inspiring, contemporary story of hope, forgiveness, love and redemption. It's Christmas Eve in New York City, and with a little help from each other, five people will discover new meaning on Christmas Day. As Jules (Marcus Thomas) finds the courage to step beyond his past, Artie's (Arkin) own tragic history shows Mike (Walker) where jealousy can lead, bringing renewal to his relationship with Nina (Cruz).  And Rose (Sarandon) discovers new hope as Charlie--an unexpected friend--reminds her that no one is ever truly alone at Christmas. With a stunning backdrop created by Oscar-winning cinematographer Russell Carpenter ("Titanic") and multiple Oscar-winning composer Alan Menken ("Beauty and the Best"), Noel is sure to become a holiday classic. FromNoeldirector Chazz Palminteri:  "What is most important to me is the message of the film.  It's a movie about hope; a movie about miracles that touches people of all ages, from all walks of life and in all circumstances.  And in this day and age, I think we all need a miracle. The story ofNoelwill make people feel good inside as they reflect on the hope of the holiday season, and I am excited by the unique approach we are taking with its release."  Official Selection, Toronto International Film Festival.How Does Flexplay Work?Flexplay DVDs are just like regular DVDs – but with a special chemical inside, and a special kind of plastic that gives the disc its red color.  Removing the Flexplay DVD from its sealed package exposes the disc to air, triggering a precise chemical reaction.  After 48 hours the disc turns from red to black, and the Flexplay DVD is no longer playable. Flexplay DVDs are non-toxic, environmentally friendly and can be recycled like any other DVD. (Recycling information is available at flexplay.com.) And with over 1 million units already distributed, Flexplay DVDs are field-proven.  It's the new way to enjoy your favorite entertainment--on your schedule!
