DVD Releases Predictions

I believe that most people would buy Brave because its a kids movie and everyone has kids. Most people would rent the movie Bigfoot because its a horror movie. People don't really buy horror movies around this time of year. Out of all, I believe 2 days in NY would be the least selling movie out of all. There is not really a big promotion on this movie therefore there are not many people that know about this movie.

 Cave becomes classroom for Syrian kids  

A cave's interior has been carved into cube-shaped rooms. Improvised lighting, barely strong enough to illuminate the cavern, shows children sitting, legs crossed, on the bare floor.
They are calling out boisterously, raising their hands eagerly, clamoring to answer questions.
These are some of the students in Syria who, because of civil war, have deserted their schools and taken classes literally underground.
An amateur video, posted by a local activist on YouTube, gives a glimpse of one of these cave schools, which is reminiscent of the stone schoolhouse from "The Flintstones."
Behind the citizen reporter, Abu Diyaa, is a group of first- through fourth-graders who greet him graciously with a round of applause.
"Why here?" Abu Diyaa asks a male instructor.
"We want to keep educating our children," says the teacher, who does not give his name. "But in the city, there is always this imminent danger that the regime choppers or planes will bomb us or drop the TNT barrels."
