JONNY QUEST: THE COMPLETE EIGHTIES ADVENTURES (1986-87) Jonny Quest, Hadji, Bandit, Dr. Quest and Race Bannon return for an all-new suite of super-adventures in this originally syndicated sequel series from the heyday of the animation awesome age. In this 13-Episode go round, plucky pre-teen tomboy Jessie Bradshaw breaks into the band of bros along with a new stoneman ally, Hardrok. The Quest plane gets a too-cool makeover as well, now capable of splitting off a hi-speed shuttle for one-man missions. But the more things changeÅ the more Jonny and company still square off against weird menaces from the very edge of science! Giant Viking apes, prehistoric reptile clones, animated clay warriors are just some of the fantastic foes faced in this funtastic new series - not to mention the implacable, fiendish Dr. Zin. 2-Disc, 13-Episode Collection.
Welcome Back, Warner Bros. (BACK IN PRINT)
TREASURE ISLAND (1934) Victor Fleming's classic adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson beloved adventure tale defines the gold standard of Long John Silvers with Wallace Beery's amazing performance as the one-legged pirate.
Lionel Barrymore's Billy Bones raises the bar plenty high in the first act, and MGM's A-team of Lewis Stone, Otto Kruger, and Nigel Bruce are on hand to help young Jim Hawkins (Jackie Cooper) navigate the treacherous waters to treasure and maturity.
CAGED (1950) While working on the story that would give birth to Caged, writer Virginia Kellogg (White Heat) reportedly went undercover inside a women's prison in her quest for truth. What emerged was one of the most noted - and notorious - pictures of the women-behind-bars sub-genre. While its over-the-top mise-en-scene and sly Sapphic references may place the picture in "camp" territory, Eleanor Parker's and Hope Emerson's performances elevate Caged from a cinema curio to a movie must-see. When 19-year-old Marie Allen (Parker) arrives at a women's prison already pregnant, she finds herself at the center of a war for her soul waged between a reform minded warden (Agnes Moorehead) and a sadistic matron (Emerson).
BEYOND THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE (1979) Michael Caine and Sally Field head a cast of all-stars in Irwin Allen's action-packed sequel that picks up where The Poseidon Adventure left off. Rival teams of salvage crew race through the capsized superliner to claim a secret fortune before the craft finally sinks to her watery grave. One crew finds a cluster of survivors, while another, headed by the sinister Dr. Stefan Svevo (Telly Savalas) hunts for a deadly secret. (Never trust Savalas aboard a cruise ship!) 16x9 Widescreen
THE SOULER OPPOSITE (1998) Christopher Meloni stars in this indie romance of mismatched lovers, one a struggling stand-up (Meloni), the other a political idealist (Janel Moloney). He's an overgrown adolescent getting by on a glib, crass, and sexist routinge, while she's an old soul that's ten years younger and will tear his whole world apart. (But in a good way. Really.) A mature look love in its early bloom for a late bloomer. Written and directed by Bill Kalmenson, also starring Timothy Busfield. 16x9 Widescreen Re-Paramount Time (BACK IN PRINT)
LADY JANE (1986) Helena Bonham Carter and Cary Elwes star in this historical epic detailing the events that led to Lady Jane Grey's infamous nine day reign. Carter's control and range astonishes, given her very apparent youth. 16x9 Widescreen BRAIN DONORS (1992) The comedic tropes and stylings of the Marx Brothers receive a nineties era makeover in this manic comedy. John Turturro, Bob Nelson and Mel Smith play a lawyer, a cabbie and a handyman who end up in charge of a ballet company. 16x9 Widescreen THE ADVENTURES OF SEBASTIAN COLE (1998) Adrian Grenier and Clark Gregg star in this art-house coming-of-age tale about an iconoclastic teen and his clash with unconvention. Clark Gregg's heartfelt and hysterical turn as the lad's transgender step-dad is one for the ages. 16x9 Widescreen
ANGELA'S ASHES (1999) Frank McCourt's debasing memoir of life on the streets of New York and Limerick. Alan Parker directs Emily Watson and Robert Carlyle. 16x9 Widescreen
BLOODY SUNDAY (2003) Director Paul Greengrass bring his dramatic verite style to bear on this look at one of the most tragic moments in the history of the troubles - one that led to the shooting of 26 civil rights marchers by police in Northern Ireland. James Nesbitt stars. 16x9 Widescreen
