Closed Captioned; Soundtrack English; Dolby Digital 5.1 Re; Behind The Scenes Douglas returns to the screen for the first time since suffering a stroke, in a role that seems to be written specifically for him. He plays Harry Agensky, a former boxing champ who journeys with his son and 15-year-old grandson to Nevada in order to hunt for magic diamonds that were promised to him by a gangster quite some time ago. Along the way, the trio stop off at a brothel and initiate the grandson, while taking care of their own business. A tribute to director Asher's father, William, who himself suffered a stroke. Diamonds Reviews: "...Kirk Douglas brims with dignity and feisty humor..."
-- Lisa Nesselson, Variety "...Douglas stays in the winner's circle....His flinty vigor hasn't dissipated over the years..."
-- Peter Travers, Rolling Stone "...It is a courageous and inspirational performance, and Douglas tackles it with his trademark zeal..."
-- Mike Kerrigan, Box Office "...The unexpected pleasure of seeing Douglas on the screen again is doubled when he's playing opposite Bacall, a star as enduring as himself..."

Diamonds review
$14.45
THE PHILADELPHIA STORY boasts an incredible cast, but it's Katharine Hepburn's picture in more ways than one. Tracy Lord (Hepburn), a Philadelphia heiress, is about to marry coal-company executive George Kittridge (John Howard). The wedding, promising to be the season's premier event, attracts the attention of magazine publisher Sidney Kidd (Henry Daniell), who sees it as an opportunity to break a story. Spy magazine's Dexter Haven (Cary Grant), Lord's ex-husband, is enlisted to "gain access" to the party, along with top scandal writer Macauley Connor (James Stewart, in an Oscar-winning role). However, the reporter is quickly smitten by the bride's charms--and he's not the only one. The film, based on the play by Phillip Barry, was first a Broadway sensation starring Hepburn, who acquired the screen rights, claimed the starring role, and chose the director, screenwriter, and lead cast. In addition to fine work by Grant and Stewart, notable supporting performances are delivered by Ruth Hussey and Virginia Weidler. ...

| | Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom Of The Opera DVD (2004) Widescreen; Dubbed; Subtitled
Diamonds video
$7.95 
Those who thought that smoke machines and cobwebbed candelabras were the stuff of Halloween parties and dance clubs need to think again. In Joel Schumacher's film adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Broadway musical THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, these moody set devices--and countless others--make every scene an atmospheric vision of souped-up 19th-century Gothic bliss. Christine Daee (a luminescent Emmy Rossum) is a tortured young star who is haunted by the voice of the phantom (Gerard Butler--who also played the lead in DRACULA 2000), a musician who hides in the shadows to hide a facial disfigurement, yet sings to her obsessively. Dwelling in the dark, damp chambers beneath the Paris opera house, the phantom lords over the cast and management with artistic autocracy--he writes the shows, casts them, and threatens all who disobey his plans with dramatically violent outbursts. But when his young student Christine falls for the rich and dapper Raoul (Patrick Wilson), the phantom descends into madness. Webber's memorable songs are performed with aplomb by Rossum, whose background includes singing with the Metropolitan Opera, ...
