| | Promised Land DVD
This DVD feature film stars Kiefer Sutherland, Meg Ryan, Jason Gedrick and Tracy Pollan. Life on the edge of the American Dream. Focusing on the lives of three high school buddies, this picturesque drama is a study of the American Dream gone wrong.
Davey, Danny and Mary are friends from high school. Davey was a basketball star and Mary, his girlfriend. But two years later the two find that what held them together in school has gradually faded.
There's real trouble, however, when outcast Danny returns to Utah with his new wife, a spit-fire whose presence leads to disaster. With high hopes and even higher dreams, four high school graduates hurtle through life's unpredictable turns and harsh realities. The jock, the cheerleader, the apathetic loner, and the wild-tempered one discover that adulthood on the edge of the American Dream is a far cry from the "Promised Land" they had come to expect. The film was shown in competition at the U.S. Film Festival (Currently known as the Sundance Film Festival) in Park City Utah, and developed at Robert Redford's Sundance Institute.
Produced in association with Great American Films Ltd. Partnership.
Promised Land Reviews: "...[The] film is technically handsome..."
-- Cart., Variety "...A psychological, poetic portrait of losers and winners in small-town America....The actors' performances and Hoffman's vision are what drive the film along..."

A HARD DAY'S NIGHT presents a fictionalized day in the life of the Beatles as they give a performance on a live television show. Filmed just a month after their appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show in February 1964, this film--the Beatles' first--introduces us to the unique personalities of each member of the band. The film opens with the Fab Four boarding a train mobbed with adoring young fans (mostly women) as they attempt to travel to the television studio in London. The antics of the band during rehearsals and makeup application provide a large part of the comic material in this feature, though there are other moments of pure hilarity. The unscripted vignette featuring a hangover-suffering Ringo is especially funny, particularly when he is arrested and risks having to miss the broadcast. None of this goes unnoticed by the director of the show, played by Victor Spinetti, who went on to become a recurring cast member in Beatles movies. As the clock ticks away dramatically, our heroes manage to free Ringo from jail and sneak onto the stage in ...

Combining several different genres (action, sci-fi, comedy, family) to tell one truly outrageous tale, SUPERBABIES: BABY GENIUSES 2 introduces audiences to another set of hyper-smart toddlers who are out to conquer evil.

Antoine Fuqua, the director of such action movies as TRAINING DAY and THE REPLACEMENT KILLERS, takes on government conspiracies in SHOOTER. Based on the book POINT OF IMPACT by Stephen Hunter, SHOOTER focuses on Bob Lee Swagger (Mark Wahlberg), a former Marine scout sniper who has retired to a log cabin in the middle of the woods after a supposedly standard mission got out of hand in Ethiopia. Three years later, Colonel Isaac Johnson (Danny Glover) shows up with two flunkies, trying to convince Swagger to help them thwart a plot to assassinate the president. Honor and duty get the better of him, and Swagger agrees to participate--only to find out that he has been set up, sending him on the run so he can discover who was really behind the shooting. With the whole world looking for him, the only people willing to help him are the widow of his former partner, Sarah (Kate Mara), and Nick Memphis (Michael Pena), a young FBI agent who refuses to stop investigating the case. Wahlberg, nominated for an Oscar for his supporting performance in THE DEPARTED, is excellent in the lead role of a complicated man who had turned his back on society, only to be thrust right back into the middle of it. Glover is solid as his arch-nemesis, who treats the situation as if it's some kind of game. SHOOTER is an action-filled suspense thriller that races ...
