Closed Captioned; Soundtrack English; Dolby Digital 5.1 Re While attempting to raise her orphaned younger brothers, the stubborn and determined Charlie (Melissa Gilbert) along with her cynical mentor, Foster (Richard Farnsworth), undertake the training of an ornery ex-rodeo horse, in hopes of bringing him up to Olympic caliber. A sweetly touching fairy tale of a young girl realizing her dreams and bucking the odds. Melissa Gilbert made her film debut in this cowgirl fairy tale, as Charlie, a sixteen-year-old orphan whose love of horses and stubborn determination transforms her from a down-on-her-luck cowgirl into a skillful and prize-winning equestrian. While working at a Texas stockyard breaking horses, Charlie falls in love with an ornery bronco and names him Sylvester. When she loses her job, she must struggle to find a home for her two younger brothers and keep her dreams of becoming an Olympic rider alive. With the help of her old stockyard boss, Foster (Richard Farnsworth), she learns the riding skills she needs to fufill her dreams of competing in the National Equestrian Finals. The support and mentoring of ex-cavalrymen Foster helps Charlie to realizes her potential as she rides her beloved Sylvester in the competition. Directed by Tim Hunter, SYLVESTER is the sweet story of a young girl growing up and rising above her circumstances.
SYLVESTER was the film debut for actress Melissa Gilbert.
SYLVESTER has two unusual connections to filmmaker David Lynch: director Tim Hunter would go on to helm episodes of Lynch's TWIN PEAKS television series, and actor Richard Farnsworth would eventually receive wide-spread critical acclaim for his leading role in Lynch's THE STRAIGHT STORY.

-- Vincent Canby, New York Times "...[Gilbert and Farnsworth] deliver solid performances....A drama with decent values [and] quiet, steady pacing..."

Created by Donald Bellisario (JAG, MAGNUM P.I.), AIRWOLF was among the many action-adventure shows of the 1980s that garnered a cult following. Jan-Michael Vincent stars as the improbably named Stringfellow Hawke, a Vietnam veteran still troubled by the disappearance of his brother during the war. Secret government agent "Archangel" (Alex Cord) approaches Hawke with a unique offer: to help him recover and then become the de facto pilot of the powerful, top-secret helicopter known as Airwolf. With that proposal the series begins chronicling Hawke's adventures, along with his sidekick Dominic (Ernest Borgnine) as pilot of the advanced aircraft. SEASON ONE contains all 12 ...

Viewed through our photographs, it would seem we have lived a joyous, leisurely existence. Sy Parrish (Robin Williams), who makes this observation, adversely leads a lonely life, operating a photo lab in a SavMart department store. He escapes his dreary reality through the family photos of Nancy Yorkin (Connie Nielsen) and her family. His admiration of the Yorkins becomes an obsession, as he fashions himself as Uncle Sy to little Jake (Dylan Smith). Sy's judgment becomes impaired by his unhealthy interest, causing him to lose his job of 11 years. As his final day approaches, Sy develops photographs revealing an indiscretion on the part of Mr. Yorkin (Michael Vartan). The unstable Sy now develops a disturbing, calculated plan to instill family values to the Yorkin clan.
Much of ONE HOUR PHOTO takes place inside a department store similar to a Wal-Mart, bordered in an icy blue. This cold atmosphere creates a solitary framework for the disturbed photo developer Sy Parrish, played with a melancholic detachment by Williams, ...

Sylvester review
$13.59 
Lucio Fulci's LIZARD IN A WOMAN'S SKIN earned the director a measure of infamy because of a very believable scene involving disemboweled dogs. So believable, in fact, that Fulci had to prove before a judge (with special effects man Carlo Rambaldi) that their dogs were, in fact, fake. A giallo that ranks among the director's best films, the movie stars Silvia Monti as Deborah, a woman who has disturbing dreams about murdering her neighbor. After she relates them to her therapist, her neighbor is actually murdered, exactly the same way she was in Deborah's dreams, leading to a police investigation and some strange revelations.
Stylish and inventive, LIZARD IN A WOMAN'S SKIN is surely one of ...

A complex plot and a noirish feel characterize this exciting Western, which takes place in part during a flashback from contemporary 1948. The tale centers on the legendary Lost Dutchman mine, worth $20 million and notorious for its apparent curse upon all those who attempt to claim it. The grandson of Jacob "Dutch" Waltz, who discovered it, sets out to relocate the mine, and the story travels back in time to follow Dutch (Glenn Ford, SUPERMAN) in his initial explorations. A wealthy prospector who has acquired his money by dubious means shows up in town with 297 pounds of gold ore to trade for cash. He cases a furor and attracts the attention of one Julia Thomas (Ida Lupino, ROAD HOUSE), a bakery owner who immediately undertakes the foreigner's seduction.

Sylvester video
$19.15
Chicago-based avant-garde percussionist Kahil El Zabar leads his band the Ritual Trio, with special guest, violinist Billy Bang, in a multimedia performance at the Windy City's River East Art Center on December 18th, 2004. Also featured is bassist Yosef Ben Israel, the newest member of the Trio who exhibits a perfect symbiosis with the group. Ari Brown's saxophone borders on unruly screeching without crossing over, as he retains control with his bravely experimental technique. The event showcases painting, sculpture, and video projection, while Bang's violin travels through a range of styles from restrained elegance to gritty improvisation. El Zabar, recently voted Chicago's "Artist of the Year" by the CHICAGO TRIBUNE, turned in a characteristically spectacular performance, incorporating ...

Like a testosterone-laden version of AZUMANGA DAIOH, the quirky comedy anime series CROMARTIE HIGH SCHOOL chronicles the rough-and-tumble hijinks at a school for male juvenile delinquents. The series centers around Takashi Kamiyama, a normal 16-year-old with average grades who somehow ends up at the infamous academy and is forced to navigate its brutal social hierarchy of juvies, outlaws, bullies, and thugs--as well as a 400-pound gorilla, a robot who thinks he's human, and a Freddie Mercury wannabe. Based on a hugely popular manga, CROMARTIE HIGH SCHOOL parodies the world of boy-school anime with meta ...
