Closed Captioned; Standard Screen; Soundtrack English After six months of drug rehab, Frankie Machine returns to the seedy Chicago joints where he began and succumbs once more to the dark addictions of professional poker, and -- even more dangerously -- heroin. This powerful drama, which broached the subject of drug addiction in a stark and realistic manner, may be mild by today's standards, but was a groundbreaking and edgy film in its day. The legendary Frank Sinatra plays addict, Frankie Machine, with Eleanor Parker playing his disabled wife. Based on the novel by Nelson Algren. MAN WITH THE GOLDEN ARM received three Academy Award Nominations, including Best Actor for Frank Sinatra. Man With The Golden Arm Reviews: "...Still a riveting depiction of the lower depths, with Frank Sinatra giving a surprisingly sensitive and detailed performance..." -- Rating: A-
-- Tim Purtell, Entertainment Weekly "Preminger defied the contemporary trend toward location shooting by photographing almost all of GOLDEN ARM on a claustrophobic New York street set built on an RKO soundstage, a defiantly expressionistic approach that Preminger would return to and amplify with his brilliant PORGY AND BESS."-- Dave Kehr, New York Times 3.5 stars out of 4 -- "Its scenes of cold-turkey withdrawal solidified Frank Sinatra's rep as an actor and boosted the career of his raw young costar..."
-- Howard Karren, Premiere "[Preminger] makes it work, amping up the claustrophobic tension in beautifully choreographed long takes." -- Grade: B+

The love saga winds to a close as Belinda (Sarah Jones) takes on a new responsibility while accepting guidance from the place she least expected it. Female doctors are a rarity in the Old West, but Belinda has carved out an impressive niche for herself in a small, tight-knit Missouri community. Her best friend, Annie (Haylie Diff), is about to give birth, and Belinda has agreed to monitor her as she carries the baby to term. But for a woman who has always put science first, Annie's folksy mother-in-law, Mary (Patty Duke), isn't always the easiest person to deal with. Experienced nursemaid Mary would rather rely on homeopathic treatments that taking the advice of doctors, and before long the two women are hopelessly at odds over how to handle the pregnancy. Back at home, things aren't any easier--Belinda is having trouble getting pregnant, and it's beginning to have a negative affect on her relationship with her husband (Jordan Bridges). Perhaps if Belinda can finally open up and realize that the solution to her problems isn't always what she thought it would be, she ...

Like a lot of the best family entertainment, DINOSAURS was fun for both kids and their parents. Children couldn't get enough of the slapstick humor, while adults enjoyed the show's satire of contemporary society. This sitcom centered on the Sinclairs, a family of dinosaurs led by father Earl. Though he was surrounded by devoted wife Fran, sassy daughter Charlene, and rebellious teen Robbie, the real star of the show was Baby Sinclair. The talkative tyke would famously bash his father on the head while screaming, "Not the mama!" Jim Henson Productions brought the creatures to life, and they featured the vocal talents of sitcom stars like Jessica Walters (ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT) ...

An award-winning documentary with a message of forgiveness, BEYOND THE GATES OF SPLENDOR is a powerful example of the beauty of Christ's love. The story of the conversion of the Waodani Indians, a violent tribe living in isolation in Ecuador, is both tragic and inspiring. Over 50 years ago, in 1965, a group of five missionary families traveled to the jungles of Ecuador, intent upon the conversion of its people. All five of the men on the expedition were brutally slaughtered by the Indians, but in the aftermath, the wife and sister of one of the slain men came to live with the Waodani, eventually educating them in the ways of Christianity. Later, one of the men's sons came to join his mother there as well, in a startling, affecting gesture of love.

Man With The Golden Arm review
$28.29
An ambitious concept album that marked a turning point in Pink Floyd's trajectory as well as popular music in general, THE WALL traces the rise and fall of a rock star, Pink Floyd. Based on bassist Roger Waters's experiences, it describes the erection and demolition of a psychological barrier behind which the star is isolated from society. Initially conceived as an extravagant live show, a double album, and a feature-length film, the release contained more songs than Floyd had released to date, and the concert was so elaborate that the band could stage it only a few times. Here, original quotes from band members and critics then and now shed light on this landmark event in 20th-century rock music, dispelling misconceptions and adding insight into the ever-expanding body of criticism on this important work.
Conceived by Roger Waters as an ambitious double album, a spectacular live show and a ground breaking feature film, The Wall has gone on to achieve iconic status in the history of popular music. Using the actual words of the band and the critics then and now, this is the independent critical review of a milestone in popular culture, which strips away the prejudices to produce the ultimate retrospective on one of the most important popular works of the twentieth century. The book is a detailed analysis of the creation of the work ...
