Singin' in the Rain: 60th Anniversary CollectionGenre: Musical & Performing Arts Release Date: 07/17/2012 Rating G Production Year: 2012 Run Time: 103 mins Released By: Warner Home Video After years of honing his skills on the vaudeville stage, hoofer Don Lockwood (Gene Kelly) has finally reached the top and become a swashbuckling star of the silent silver screen. Then the self-satisfied celebrity has his confidence shattered when ingenue Kathy Selden (Debbie Reynolds) dismisses film actors as "shadows" without substance. After getting over the insult, he falls hard for her--much to the consternation of his costar, the sexy, selfish Lina Lamont (Jean Hagen), who wants Don all to herself. But Don has career troubles too. The wild popularity of THE JAZZ SINGER has studios scrambling to change from silent films to talkies, and Lina's shrill voice and Don's stiff acting left the preview audience roaring with laughter. There's only one way to save the movie and their careers: turn "The Duelling Cavalier" into a musical, with Kathy secretly dubbing in Lina's lines and songs. But can they hide the truth from Lina? This special 60th anniversary collection also includes three documentaries about the film, which film critic Pauline Kael called "Just about the best Hollywood musical of all time:" MUSICALS GREAT MUSICALS: THE ARTHUR FREED UNIT AT MGM, WHAT A GLORIOUS FEELING: THE MAKING OF SINGIN' IN THE RAIN, and SINGIN' IN THE RAIN: RAINING ON A NEW GENERATION. … more less -
My Fair LadyGenre: Musical & Performing Arts Release Date: 11/15/2011 Rating G Production Year: 1964 Run Time: 172 mins Released By: Paramount Home Entertainment Cast: Audrey Hepburn, Rex Harrison, Wilfrid Hyde-White, Stanley Holloway, Jeremy Brett An insufferably arrogant linguist, Professor Henry Higgins (Rex Harrison), bets a colleague that he can transform a flower-selling Cockney guttersnipe into a regal lady.

Ben-HurGenre: Dramas Release Date: 02/07/2012 Rating G Production Year: 1959 Run Time: 222 mins Released By: Warner Home Video Cast: Charlton Heston, Jack Hawkins, Stephen Boyd, Haya Harareet, Hugh Griffith Anno Domini: the seventh year of Augustus Caesar's reign. In the Roman province of Judea, Jews return to the city of their birth for the census. A bright star in the night over Bethlehem marks the birth of Jesus Christ. Years later, Roman commander Messala (Stephen Boyd), who was brought up in Judea, takes command of the Roman garrison in Jerusalem. His Jewish boyhood friend Judah Ben-Hur (Charlton Heston) greets him. Messala is delighted. But when Judah refuses to name Jewish patriots, Messala sentences him to the slave galleys and imprisons his mother, Miriam (Martha Scott), and sister, Tirzah (Cathy O'Donnell). Judah vows revenge. In BEN-HUR, William Wyler's much-lauded epic, the story of Judah's search for his mother and sister and his quest for revenge intersects with crucial biblical events such as the Sermon on the Mount and the crucifixion. Wyler gets fine performances from Heston, Boyd, Jack Hawkins (as a Roman admiral who befriends Judah), and Hugh Griffith (as an Arab sheik who dreams of racing his beautiful white horses against Messala). Among BEN-HUR's vivid dramatic sequences are a violent sea battle and the famous chariot race that pits Judah against Messala in one of cinema's great action sequences. … more less -

Polar Express, TheGenre: Childrens Release Date: 11/16/2010 Rating G Production Year: 2004 Cast: Tom Hanks, Michael Jeter, Peter Scolari, Nona Gaye, Eddie Deezen Director Robert Zemeckis revolutionized the art of animated film in 1998's WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT by dropping cartoon characters into the same frame with flesh-and-blood actors. In THE POLAR EXPRESS, live action and animation have merged seamlessly, resulting in sparkling super-realism. A landmark technique Zemeckis and his Sony Pictures Imageworks team call "Performance Capture" perfectly suits the tenor of this wondrous children's Christmas story by Chris Van Allsburg. A disillusioned little boy, just old enough to doubt the existence of Santa Claus, has the adventure of a lifetime one fateful Christmas Eve. Clad in his pajamas, he climbs aboard a magic train to the North Pole, driven by a kindly train conductor (voiced by Tom Hanks who starred in both of Zemeckis's Academy-Award winning films FORREST GUMP and CASTAWAY). Among myriad jaw-dropping moments, the train plummets brakeless through crystalline mountains in a simulated roller coaster ride. Going off the rails, skidding sideways, and snaking violently across a frozen lake, the train arrives at the North Pole (a vast, glowing city of brick buildings). At that moment, the car carrying the kids detaches and they're sent tumbling down never-ending chutes and slides until they land in the middle of Santa's Workshop. With its fascinating tale and impressive technical frolics, THE POLAR EXPRESS is destined to become both a holiday classic and a new turning point in the art of animated cinema. … more less -

Winged MigrationGenre: Education/General Interest Release Date: 04/07/2009 Rating G Production Year: 2003 Run Time: 89 mins Released By: Sony Pictures Home Jacques Perrin (MICROCOSMOS) presents this dramatically beautiful documentary about bird migratory patterns, featuring breathtaking photography and hypnotic music. The film covers seven continents during four seasons, highlighting species both unique and common. From puffins in Iceland, whooper swans in Japan, bald eagles in Arizona, flamingos in Kenya, albatross in New Zealand, macaw in Peru, geese in Nepal, and plenty of cranes and storks in the director's native France, WINGED MIGRATION is literally a tour of the world from a bird's eye view. Filmed over the course of three year's time, the production for the movie was extensive to say the least. Using a crew of over 450 people broken up into five teams, new photographic techniques were invented specifically for the purpose of filming flocks of birds in flight. Balloon, helicopter, helicopter model, remote controlled glider, traditional glider, delta plane, and ultra-light motorized aircraft are the flying devices used to achieve the film's incredible camera angles. In fact, because birds were trained to be unafraid of the delta plane, photographers were able to fly alongside flocks, sometimes filming birds as they gazed into the camera's lens while also keeping in focus the dramatic landscape unfolding below. WINGED MIGRATION takes viewers on a unique journey soaring over the Earth as few films have ever done before. … more less -
Under the SeaGenre: Education/General Interest Release Date: 11/16/2010 Rating G Production Year: 2009 Run Time: 41 mins Released By: IMAX Actor Jim Carrey is the narrator/tourguide for a stunning journey into the world's most beautiful and remote coral reefs. With his amazing underwater Imax camera, director Howard Hall travels to Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, Australia's Great Barrier Reef, and some of the world's most isolated spots in order to bring audiences truly jaw-dropping visual experiences. Great white sharks swim right up, sting rays flap sand all over, and there's up-close and personal time with sea lions, sea turtles, clown fish, nautilus and dwarf whales, and the leafy-looking sea dragon (at such close proximity, these creatures make typical movie monsters seem pretty tame). The sealife can be hypnotic in the clear, flowing waves--as in the dance of the cuttlefish, or the fields of eels--but beware of sudden attacks from well-camouflaged predators like the spiny scorpion fish. Hall is a pro photographer of these Imax soirees, having also helmed DEEP SEA and INTO THE DEEP, and his great patience, skill, and obvious love for his subject matter pay off in fully immersive images that add urgency to the film's serious environmental concerns: acidification and global warming are endangering the reefs, and action must be taken if these creatures are to survive into the future. … more less -
Incredible Mr. Limpet, TheGenre: Comedies Release Date: 08/07/2012 Rating G Production Year: 1964 Run Time: 99 mins Released By: Warner Home Video Cast: Don Knotts, Jack Weston, Elizabeth MacRae, Andrew Duggan, Carole Cook Based on the novel by Theodore Pratt, this quaint little fantasy leads the viewer on a deep sea adventure.

2001: A Space OdysseyGenre: Science-Fiction/Fantasy Release Date: 10/23/2007 Rating G Production Year: 1968 Run Time: 148 mins Released By: Warner Home Video Cast: Keir Dullea, William Sylvester, Gary Lockwood, Daniel Richter, Leonard Rossiter A four-million-year-old black monolith is discovered on the moon, and the government (while hiding the situation from the public) sends a team of scientists on a fact-finding mission. Eighteen months later, another team is sent to Jupiter in a ship controlled by the perfect HAL 9000 computer to further investigate the giant object--but on this trip something goes terribly wrong. 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY is a masterpiece of filmmaking. Director and (with Arthur C. Clarke) co-screenwriter Stanley Kubrick has created a visual and aural spectacle that stands as one of the greatest achievements ever put on celluloid. The film begins with the "Dawn of Man" segment, about the evolution of apes, and then ventures into the future, taking a look at what the world might be like in the first year of the 21st century. Kubrick's film is a triumph of technological storytelling, with stunning sets and a brilliant, overwhelming soundtrack. Long dialogue-free scenes sparkle with indelible images backed by powerful orchestral music, culminating in an unforgettable, inscrutable tale of birth and rebirth, human evolution and artificial intelligence, the past and the future. … more less -
Mr. Magorium's Wonder EmporiumGenre: Childrens Release Date: 03/04/2008 Rating G Production Year: 2007 Run Time: 94 mins Released By: 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment Cast: Dustin Hoffman, Natalie Portman, Jason Bateman, Zach Mills In writer-director Zach Helm's whimsical 2007 film, MR. MAGORIUM'S WONDER EMPORIUM, veteran actor Dustin Hoffman plays the title character, a 243-year-old toy-store owner who is ready to pass his enchanted business on to his beloved assistant, Molly Mahoney (Natalie Portman). However, when Molly, a former composer and pianist, has doubts about taking over the (literally) magical store, and an uptight accountant (Jason Bateman) appears to assess the establishment, the many inhabitants of the Wonder Emporium begin to rebel, resulting in a chaotic situation that can be fixed only with the help of a shy, lonely boy (Zach Mills). A first-time director best known for his inventive STRANGER THAN FICTION screenplay, Helm ably--ahem--helms EMPORIUM, which clearly nods to the WONKA and TOY STORY movies without seeming derivative. Always one to dive gamely into a quirky role (see TOOTSIE, RAIN MAN, HOOK, etc.), Hoffman makes Magorium both silly and endearing, while Portman charms as his earnest protégé, and Bateman provides an enjoyable level of skepticism while enduring the nickname "The Mutant." Although the film's playful quality could veer toward excess, its thoughtful script and able actors allow it to stand out as a highly entertaining production. … more less
