Closed Captioned; Standard Screen; Bio/Filmographies; Soundtrack English; Soundtrack French; Soundtrack Spanish; Dolby Digital 5.1 Re; DTS Sound Controversial rapper Eminem (real name Marshall Mathers) makes his big screen debut with 8 MILE, a bracing drama directed by the increasingly audacious Curtis Hanson. Set in 1995 in the bleak, urban battle zone of Detroit, the film follows the struggles of a young man who is desperate to make a better life for himself. Jimmy Smith, Jr., better known as Rabbit, is destined for a life of squalor. Living in a cramped trailer with his deadbeat mom (Kim Basinger), Rabbit works in a factory to make ends meet. His only outlet is hip-hop. Possessing a talent for freestyle rapping, Rabbit still hasn't managed to unleash his true potential. But his best friend, Future (Mekhi Phifer), is determined to make that happen. Future forces Rabbit to enter a freestyle battle that he blew the week before, giving him another chance at redemption. Hanson's stellar portrait of lower-class urban disillusionment, shot with uncompromisingly gritty realism by Rodrigo Prieto, proves that the issue is no longer about race, it's about money. Eminem delivers a bold performance as the troubled youngster who is still trying to find his place in a harsh, cruel world. Theatrical release: November 8, 2002 8 Mile Reviews: "...An illuminating addition to that hall-of-funhouse-mirrors that is Eminem's persona..."-- Ryan Gilbey, Sight and Sound "...Eminem projects the downbeat sex appeal and scurrilous, dead-eyed yearning of a rap-world James Dean....It's a movie of catchy rebel-underdog power..."
-- Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly "...Eminem shows real screen presence....8 MILE hits hard and provocatively close to home..."-- Peter Travers, Rolling Stone "...Eminem possesses a furtive instinct as a performer..."
-- Kevin Courrier, Box Office "...8 MILE qualifies as a cinematic event by tapping into the roots of Eminem and the fury and feeling that inform his rap....Eminem wins by a knockout..."
-- Peter Travers, Rolling Stone "...The movie is a success on its own terms because the director doesn't condescend to pop music..."
-- Elvis Mitchell, New York Times "...The rap sequences are shot and edited with the excitement of a crisply broadcast sporting event..."-- Mike Clark, USA Today "...Eminem is magnetic playing a version of himself....Basinger is entirely credible..."

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 is a great heist/chase film that surpasses most similar live action fare and breezes by with more than a couple of inventive set pieces, as well as some excellent comic dialogue.

However, Van soon learns that the seemingly perfect Doug has some demons of his own, ones that eerily echo Van's.

Director Goro Taniguchi (INFINITE RYVIUS, S-CRY-ED) fashions another imaginative take on intergalactic space travel in his sci-fi series PLANETES. In the year 2075, travel between the earth, moon, and various space stations has become a routine part of human existence. But the increased traffic leaves behind floating pieces of debris that present a deadly hazard for traveling starships and must be cleared by a squad of hardworking debris collectors. As the collectors' newest recruit, idealistic Ai Tanabe quickly loses her enthusiasm for outer space when she joins the Half-Section unit and meets her cynical new partner, Hachimaki. But Tanabe soon discovers that hauling in space debris is not only dull and monotonous--it carries with it a unique set of difficulties and dangers. PLANETES avoids the wild, fantastical tropes of much sc-fi anime in favor of realistic hard science that emphasizes character development and gorgeously rendered animation. This collection presents the whole series in its entirety.

At the time of the now-historic events of September 11th, 2001, around 4,836 commercial and private aircrafts were flying over the US, with only 14 fighter planes positioned to act as the country's air defense. Through personal accounts with fighter pilots, air defense officials, Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert, Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta, Lynne Cheney, and others responsible for the president's safety, CLEAR THE SKIES examines how Air Traffic Control responded to an unprecedented command to "clear the skies" of all non-military aircraft in under three hours.

A photographer finds herself drawn into a cycle of death and pictures in the horror film SNAPPED. A gallery owner commissions a series of unusual works from young photographer Amy: to collect images of the recently deceased. The job seems impossible, until a series of murders seem to literally fall into her lap, committed for the sole purpose of allowing her to continue with the assignment. As she nears completion, bodies continue to drop, and she slowly starts being driven mad by the death and dismemberment around her. Will she ultimately go to the authorities, or justify the murders by collecting on her valuable job? SNAPPED is a horror film that looks at the fine line separated art and life (and the lack of it!).
