Peter McGowan (Kenneth Branagh) is a Los Angeles playwright with writer's block. He still carries a reputation as a cynical bad boy, an image he earned with the gigantic success of edgy plays he wrote when he was much younger. Now Peter is a more mature man who has settled into a comfortable domestic life with his beautiful, encouraging, modern, fun young wife Melanie (Robin Wright Penn), who wants nothing more than to have a baby. But Peter, an impotent insomniac, can't even imagine it. His last few plays have not fared well at the box office, which only makes it more imperative that he pour genius into his newest work. Juggling moody actors (Johnathan Schaech and Kaitlin Hopkins) and a deeply distracted producer (Peter Riegert), Peter searches desperately for a muse. He finds it in Amy (Suzi Hofrichter), the 6-year-old daughter of his new neighbors. Amy is a shy girl with a mild case of cerebral palsy who takes instantly to the McGowans, and even learns to dance when Melanie, a children's ballet teacher, agrees to teach her. Though Peter begins to write again, he still suffers from insomnia and he wanders the streets at night, sometimes meeting up with a homeless man (Jared Harris) who is his doppelganger. All in all, HOW TO KILL YOUR NEIGHBOR'S DOG is a somber family drama that finds a pleasing balance between Peter's grouchiness and Melanie's peppiness.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Audio: Dolby Digital Stereo - EnglishAdditional Release Materials: Trailers - 1.

Acclaimed French actress Sylvie Testud stars in the European co-production DEAD MAN'S MEMORIES (DER GLASERNE BLICK). A man's body washes ashore on the Portuguese coast and inspector Pinto is placed in charge of the investigation. Searching his body, Pinto discovers a video containing footage of a young woman (Testud), whom he realizes is a visiting music student from France. But even though she presents Pinto with a strong lead in the case, her testimony and the other clues just obscure the case further. DEAD MAN'S MEMORIES is a mystery whose possible solutions create a cycle of uncertainty that leads to a questioning of truth itself.DVD Features:Region (unknown)Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33

Mr. Holland (Alec Guinness) has supervised the bank's bullion run for years. He is fussy and unnecessarily overprotective, but everyone knows he is absolutely trustworthy. And so, on the day the bullion truck is robbed, he is the last person to be suspected. But there is another side to Mr. Holland--he is also Dutch, the leader of THE LAVENDER HILL MOB.Prolific Ealing writer T.E.B. Clarke won an Oscar for his deft script for THE LAVENDER HILL MOB. But he was helped greatly by the precise direction and impeccable timing of director Charles Crichton, and by the brilliance of Alec Guinness's performance. When he tries to recruit Mr. Pendlebury (Stanley Holloway) as Pendlebury chips away at one of his sculptures, Guinness circles Holloway, playfully seducing him into the idea of robbery and, as Holloway finally understands the proposition, Guinness looks back over his shoulder like some elfin Lucifer. When the mob goes over its robbery plans, Guinness insists on a detail and Shorty (Alfie Bass) acknowledges that Guinness is the boss. Guinness, concentrating, agrees. Then, as he relaxes and eases back in his chair, Guinness sheds his years of servitude to the bank--Dutch Holland is indeed the boss.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseFull FrameAudio: Mono - EnglishAdditional Release Material: TrailersInteractive Features: Scene Access Interactive MenusText/Photo Galleries: Biographies - 1.
