Buy Bad News Bears (DVD)

Hollywood`s tradition of remaking classic movies continues with this 21st-century updating of the 1976 romp, THE BAD NEWS BEARS. Acclaimed director Richard Linklater (THE SCHOOL OF ROCK, DAZED AND CONFUSED) pays respect to Michael Ritchie`s original film by updating it rather than reinventing it. Stepping into the tough-to-fill shoes of Walter Matthau, Billy Bob Thornton plays the liquor-swilling, foulmouthed Morris Buttermaker, who has agreed to coach a Little League team for the paycheck. Unfortunately for him, his assembled team consists of the league`s most inept outcasts. Gradually, however, Buttermaker`s determination wins out, to the point where he recruits an ex-girlfriend`s gifted daughter, Amanda Whurlitzer (Sammi Kane Kraft), to step onto the pitcher`s mound. The team is complete when local bad boy Kelly Leak (Jeffrey Davies) lends his overflowing talent to the cause. Soon, the Bears are climbing their way to the top of the standings, resulting in a championship showdown with the Yankees, who are managed by the ridiculously pompous Coach Bullock (Greg Kinnear).As with 2003`s THE SCHOOL OF ROCK, Linklater proves he has an uncanny ability to draw out compelling performances from child actors. But it is Thornton who steals the show. Incorporating elements from his characters in BAD SANTA and FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS, his variation on the Morris Buttermaker character is another finely crafted achievement, a reprehensible man who somehow remains likeable and compelling. The script from Glenn Ficarra and John Requa throws a few modern curveballs into the mix, yet they still remain faithful to Bill Lancaster`s original vision, resulting in a crowd-pleasing film that is definitely not intended for young children.

Henry Jaglom directed this charming look at the world of cinema and the magic of movies -- which was shot in both Venice, California and Venice, Italy. The director himself plays Dean, a filmmaker who's delighted and astonished when the programmers of the Venice Film Festival agree to screen his latest work. He arrives in Italy and is instantly drawn into the carnivalesque atmosphere of the event, as is the lovely French journalist pursuing him for an interview. Soon, both Dean and the writer find themselves wondering whether the adventures taking place on the screen could possibly be weirder than one ones occurring in real life.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseAnamorphic Widescreen - 1.85Audio: Stereo - EnglishAdditional Release Material: Introduction - 1.

In hiding in Mexico, hit man Jimmy The Tulip Tudeski (Bruce Willis) has become a veritable Martha Stewart, cooking and cleaning up a storm. Meanwhile, his new wife Jill (Amanda Peet) is distraught that her own career as an assassin has yet to take off. When Jimmy's ex-wife Cynthia (Natasha Henstridge) is kidnapped by Hungarian mobster Lazlo Gogolak (Kevin Pollak), her husband, klutzy dentist Nicholas Oz Oseransky (Matthew Perry) turns to Jimmy for help. Soon, Jimmy, Jill, and Oz are involved in a game of cat and mouse with Lazlo and his men trying to trade Cynthia for Lazlo's dim-witted adult son, whom the trio has kidnapped. But do Jimmy and his ex have a secret that they're not sharing with their spouses? Are their new marriages just an elaborate ruse in order to pull off a huge scam? And will Oz ever see his beautiful wife again? Directed by Howard Deutch (PRETTY IN PINK, SOME KIND OF WONDERFUL), this sequel to THE WHOLE NINE YARDS is filled with quirky characters, amusing banter, and plenty of physical comedy. Pollak is particularly amusing as a master criminal surrounded by an inept team.DVD Features:Region 1Snap CaseWidescreen - 1.85Audio: Dolby Digital 5.1 - English Dolby Digital 5.1 - FrenchAdditional Release Material: Audio Commentary - 1.

Buster Keaton Double Feature - The General/Steamboat Bill Jr. (D Buster Keaton Double Feature - The General/Steamboat Bill Jr. (D » Buster Keaton Double Feature - The General/Steamboat Bill Jr. (D

Double-feature of Buster Keaton classics, including:THE GENERAL - The two things engineer Johnny Gray (Buster Keaton) loves most in the world are his Southern belle sweetheart and his locomotive. When Northern spies steal the latter, the intrepid Confederate single-handedly takes on the entire Union army in order to get it back. Against a backdrop of magnificently photographed Civil War battle scenes unfolds one of the great chases in movie history. Set almost entirely aboard moving trains, Keaton`s THE GENERAL is physical comedy refined to elegant perfection and widely considered to be the actor-director`s greatest film.STEAMBOAT BILL JR. - In STEAMBOAT BILL, JR., Buster Keaton plays the mild-mannered son of a steamboat captain caught in the middle of the bitter rivalry between his father and another Mississippi riverboat owner. This silent classic contains the famous stunt in which a cyclone blows down a two-story wall over Keaton who passes unharmed through an open window.

Meet the Fockers (DVD) Meet the Fockers (DVD) » Meet the Fockers (DVD)

Following the knee-slapping hit MEET THE PARENTS, director Jay Roach once again keeps audiences roaring with laughter as he presents MEET THE FOCKERS. This time, young engaged couple Pam (Teri Polo) and Greg (Ben Stiller) are getting their parents together a few months before the wedding. Greg nervously plans out every detail of the trip, only to be usurped by Pam`s domineering ex-CIA-man father (Robert DeNiro). Not only has he purchased an RV, insisting they`ll be driving from New York City to the Fockers` home in Miami, but he`s bringing along his perfect baby grandson. When they finally arrive at the Fockers` house, Greg`s parents, Bernie and Roz (Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand), turn out to be sex-addicted hippies and not at all what the Byrnes (DeNiro and Blythe Danner) had expected. With one pitfall after the next, the film takes the concept of awkward in-law experiences to new heights, leaving no stone unturned from stories about past sexual experiences to detailed discussion of current ones. What`s worse, the Fockers are teaching the baby curse words weaning him on rum, to the shock of his overprotective grandparents. Every conversation is totally inappropriate and downright embarrassing, keeping audiences braced for the next disaster. Along the way, all six cast members turn in topnotch performances, with Hoffman, Streisand, and Stiller leading the charge in true Focker spirit.
