Rodgers & Hammerstein's South Pacific
TV has taken up the slack in keeping the musical
(dead on the big screen) in front of audiences. This 2001 adaptation of the
smash 1949 Rodgers and Hammerstein Broadway show, drawn from James Michener's
Pulitzer Prize-winning book Tales of the South Pacific, is an
admirable case in point. The production was a labor of love for Glenn
Close.…

Billy Elliot
Foursquare in the gritty-but-heartwarming tradition
of Brassed Off and The Full Monty comes
Billy Elliot, the first film from noted British theatrical
director Stephen Daldry. The setting is County Durham in 1984, and things "up
north" are even grimmer than usual: the miners' strike is in full
rancorous…

61*
When asked to comment during Barry Bonds's 2001
pursuit of the single-season home run record that he himself shattered in 1998,
Mark McGwire said, "I was lucky enough to reach 70, and now they're all talking
about it like it's a piece of cake." It isn't for Bonds, it wasn't for McGwire,
and it certainly wasn't for Roger Maris, who in 1961 competed with his much
more popular teammate Mickey Mantle to break Babe Ruth's benchmark of 60 home
runs. Originally broadcast…

Paradise Lost 2 - Revelations
Directors Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky return
to the scene of the crime with this urgent follow-up to their harrowing 1996
documentary, Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood
Hills. That profoundly disturbing film chronicles the tragic and
twisted case of three young men.…

Shanghai Noon (Bonus Edition)
Story? What story? All a movie like Shanghai
Noon needs is the amazing stunt set pieces featuring kung fu superstar
Jackie Chan and the drolly caffeinated ramblings of Owen Wilson (and to be
sure, that's all it gets). It's a buddy comedy about Roy O'Bannon (Wilson), a
minor, borderline incompetent desperado, and Chon Wang (Chan)--Roy thinks he
hears…

Blood - The Last Vampire
Saya, the last true vampire, battles the
bloodthirsty demons attacking an American base in Japan during the Vietnam War.
Much of the story takes place during the late afternoon and evening, and the
artists use shadows, reflections, and light with exceptional
skill.…

Anne Frank - The Whole Story
Anne Frank: The Whole Story delivers
exactly what it promises--the incredibly moving complete story of Anne Frank,
going beyond what the Jewish teenage girl wrote in her widely read diary. Anne,
along with her family and friends of her family, hid in a secret annex behind
her father's office.…

Into The Arms Of Strangers - Stories Of The Kindertransport
This Academy Award®-winning documentary
(produced with the cooperation of the United States Holocaust Museum)
chronicles one of the lesser-known stories of the Holocaust: that of the
Kindertransport, which saved the lives of 10,000 Jewish children. In the
late 1930s, England agreed to accept these children seeking refuge from Nazi
oppression. They were placed in foster homes.…
