While corn has fed the masses from ancient times to this day, its unique properties make it ideal for a number of applications &mdash from packing material to plasticizers to fuel &mdash that set it apart from other food crops. Corn is not only a vegetable and a cereal grain, it is a vital commodity. MODERN MARVELS visits Lakeside Foods in Reedsburg, Wisconsin to see how tons of corn are harvested and canned within hours. Then it's off to VeraSun Energy in Charles City, Iowa, to discover how corn is converted into fuel. We probably wouldn't be here today without corn, and MODERN MARVELS shows us exactly why. ## Images ![Modern Marvels: Corn - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81g+EE7-BiL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Good Info *by L***R on Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2013* We've always loved Modern Marvels. They cover nearly every subject and the shows are packed full of information. This is a good family show that everyone can learn something from. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars C O R N - starring Jena Malone *by A***T on Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2004* I have been waiting for this movie to come out for months. I have only seen the preview for it, but was so intrigued by the plot. I wrote to the producer of the movie and he informed me of when the DVD would be released and I am so happy to see amazon will be selling it! I have no doubt that it will become a cult favorite.From Filmmaker Magazine, a short synopsis: "In the vein of Silkwood or Rosemary's Baby, Corn is about a young woman (Jena Malone) who seeks refuge on her father's sheep ranch after an affair with the politician she works for leaves her pregnant. When the sheep turn preternaturally aggressive after munching weeds produced by a neighbor's biogenetically altered corn crop, she embarks on an investigation that also exposes uncomfortable truths in her own family. "It's a dark, gothic kind of story that crosses a lot of territory," ... "I wanted to meditate on biology and our ability to control it in the context of an experiment that goes badly wrong. It's in a storytelling tradition that goes back to Edgar Allan Poe and Mary Shelley."The 35mm Corn was shot in New Jersey, Yonkers, downtown Manhattan and at Columbia University over 25 days this July and August. ### ⭐ 1.0 out of 5 stars Pointless. *by M***. on Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2005* Pointless is the one word that best describes this movie. The acting is decent, but just barely. Maybe they could have done better with a better script. Who knows? The premise is decent, but it goes nowhere. There are countless meaningless subplots in this storyline which have no bearing on the outcome of the movie.To be blunt, there IS no outcome to this movie. The movie seems to exist solely for the sake of using up an hour and 37 minutes of film. There is one painfully long and awkward 30-45 second scene that involves a mailman delivering a letter and getting a scientist to sign for it. What's the point? Surely there must be one. You keep thinking they must be going somewhere with all of these painfully long and awkwardly paced scenes, so you keep watching. After all, you have invested an hour or so watching scene after scene of this, so you figure surely something is going to happen. Nope.I wish I could think of a better way to describe how boring and pointless this movie is, but just like it's plot, there's no point. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/14349231-modern-marvels-corn](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/14349231-modern-marvels-corn) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
