Based on the novel by Eric Hatch, this screwball comedy is a genre favorite. On a scavenger hunt for a society ball, haughty Cornelia Bullock discovers Godfrey, a dirty, dishevelled bum lurking around the city dump. She's looking for a "forgotten man" and Godfrey fits the bill perfectly. Hoping to win her first prize, she offers him five dollars to come along with her. Proud and dignified, he refuses, casting her aside. Minutes later, when her lovely younger sister Irene makes the same request, an enamored Godfrey accepts. The hunt sets off an unusual chain of events that bring Godfrey into the Bullock household as a permanent fixture. He'll become deeply embroiled in their family saga before anyone learns his true identity. Based on the novel by Eric Hatch, this screwball comedy is a genre favorite.

$32.59
Containing one of the most instantly recognizable intro sequences to a TV show ("Look up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Superman!"), THE ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN was the first attempt to bring the comic book character to television screens. This first season originally aired in 1952, and established great cinematic characters such as Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, and of course Clark Kent himself. By day Kent attempts to live an anonymous existence as a reporter for the Daily Planet, but when trouble comes calling, he transforms into Superman, the last survivor from the planet ...

| | Hitman CD (2007) Original Soundtrack
My Man Godfrey film
 $13.55  
If Hitman sounds like a generic title for a movie to begin with, especially considering that the hired killer is a well-established film archetype (it seems reasonable to assume that there have been many more professional assassins in the cinema than there ever were in real life), then it only adds to the schematic impression of such a work to note that it is based on a video game. The particular hitman in question doesn't even have a name; he's known as Number 47. So, perhaps one shouldn't complain that there is little that sounds new or different about Geoff Zanelli's score. Zanelli is one of several protégés of Hans Zimmer, who runs a virtual school for soundtrack composers, using them to help complete his many assignments. Lately, Zanelli has branched out on his own, his previous scores including Disturbia and the TV movie Into the West, which won him an Emmy. For Hitman, he employs a familiar combination of acoustic sounds provided by an orchestra and chorus and electronic percussion elements out of synthesizers and computers. Except for the beginning and ending, which are different versions of "Ava Maria," the cues always have an underlying electronic pulse, and at times the music becomes full-blown electronica. It's music to keep viewers on their edge of their seats, which is the right approach for this sort of film. Like Zimmer, Zanelli now has his own assistants. Ryeland Allison and Bobby Tahouri earn credits in the CD booklet for "additional music," but it isn't clear exactly what they contributed. At least they are mentioned, however. ~ William Ruhlmann

My Man Godfrey review
$14.39
The feature film debut of Hayao Miyazaki (NAUSICAÄ OF THE VALLEY OF THE WIND, PRINCESS MONONOKE), THE CASTLE OF CAGLIOSTRO depicts one adventure of the master thief Lupin and his rough-around-the-edges gunman, Jigen. Something of a cross between Batman, James Bond, and Cary Grant's character in TO CATCH A THIEF, Lupin is a suave ladies' man who is also given to feats of athletic daring, aided by a gadget filled belt that gets him out of more than a few scrapes. The plot has Lupin and Jigen traveling to the sleepy little country of Cagliostro and coming to the aid of the unwilling fiance of the diabolical Count Cagliostro. After CAGLIOSTRO, Miyazaki stopped creating "slapstick" feature films in favor of more serious fare; CAGLIOSTRO shows, however, that he is quite capable of delivering the goods in this genre. Based on the Lupin comics by the artist Monkey Punch, CAGLIOSTRO ...
