Would you challenge a grizzly bear to a game of tug-of-war? Discovery Channel is about to find out who would prevail in its new competition series “Man vs. Bear.”
Here’s how the show works: Each week, three grizzlies named Bart, Honey Bump and Tank will compete against three humans (men and women) in five challenges that test strength, speed and stamina. The bears have the home team advantage, as the competition takes place at the Utah sanctuary where they live, and the challenges play to the bears’ natural instincts and predatory skills. Besides tug-of-war, challenges include rolling giant logs using brute force alone, and other activities bears naturally do in the wild.
In the final round, the top two human competitors will go face-to-face with Bart the grizzly bear, who is 8-and-a-half feet tall and weighs 1,400 pounds. The human with the most points at the end of the episode will be crowned the winner.

This story first appeared in the Aug. 22 issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine. Movie theaters make most of their profits on concessions, and this summer that revenue is getting supersized thanks to the growing business of "Speedpack Combos" — a plastic drink cup, figurine and popcorn bag themed to a movie. Bill Howard, CEO of manufacturer SnapCo, says themed packaging can increase sales by more than 15 percent, no small change as box office struggles. The Happy Meal-style sets cost theaters about $1.50 and retail for as much as $7.95. "The kid sees another kid with

Reality programs and documentaries make a surprisingly good combination, we've already discussed shows like this. Storm Chasers however mixes these two elements with the pace and excitement of an action movie. If you're not familiar with the show, it works a bit like Twister - a group of adventurous scientists are hunting for storm in order to study them. Since tornados and other weather catastrophes seem to occur in a random pattern, it's important to catch them on time as the results may bring forward new data that may be able to help avert similar catastrophes in the near future. Although we don't see many flying cows in the series, Storm Chasers outdoes fiction in several respects: our heroes use almost futuristic vehicles and equipment and when we think about that what we see happens for real, we get a real appreciation of these men's job. Compared to the director or the cameraman,...
