Special features include a new video interview with Baumbach, new conversations with Baumbach and cast members, deleted scenes, Baumbach's short film "Conrad and Butler in Conrad and Butler Take a Vacation," more. A group of recent college graduates hover around campus unable to cut the umbilical cord of academic life. A witty, New York-set talk-fest about a group of twentysomethings who, with college degrees and no prospects, lean on each other and a friendly local bartender in their quest for the meaning of life. Kicking & Screaming Quotes/Excerpts: "Who would you rather be stranded on a deserted island with, MacNeil or Lehrer?" -- first line of dialogue. Kicking & Screaming Reviews: "...[A] wryly comic mood piece....Scenes move from hurt to resigned laughter and ring poignantly true..."
-- Peter Travers, Rolling Stone "...[The dialogue] scales the heights of post-Salinger acidity and provides an element of charming pathos..." -- Rating: B+-- Nisid Hajari, Entertainment Weekly "...An easy, low-key tone, with nicely framed shots and subtle camera movements....Baumbach draws good performances from his cast..."
-- Greg Evans, Variety "...Baumbach surely does make these characters, all of whom are impeccably acted, absolutely real....Baumbach builds unobtrusively to a knock-your-socks-off finish that allows KICKING AND SCREAMING to conclude on its strongest note..."
-- Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times "...[The film has] a good eye and a terrific ear..."-- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times 3.5 stars out of 4 -- "[T]he balance is introspective, goofy, sharp, and every bit as relevant at the beginning of this century as it was at the end of the last decade."-- Claire Evans, Premiere Kicking & Screaming | List Price | $29.95 (You save $6.56) | | Studio | Image Entertainment | | Orig Year | 1995 | | All Time Sales Rank |  18045  | | CD Universe Part number | 7201297 | | Catalog number | 1647 | | Discs | 1 | | Release Date | Aug 22, 2006 | | Rating | R (MPAA) | | Also Known As | Kicking and Screaming | | Running Time | 96 Minutes | | Additional Info | Widescreen | | Movie Details | Color; Widescreen |

Director Richard Linklater presents this computer-animated, dreamlike, meandering film about a college-age man (Wiley Wiggins) who floats in and out of a series of philosophical discussions and ethereal experiences, meeting an interesting cast of characters along the way. Each character that Wiley meets engages him in an existential discussion. Wiley listens, observes, and occasionally responds. Then he glumly shuffles off to his next encounter. At times, he wakes up in his bed and rubs his eyes, appearing to start a new day. But eventually viewers learn that Wiley is dreaming throughout the film, and is trying to learn to control his dreams--and accomplish lucid dreaming, or simply wake up.
Visually, WAKING LIFE is nothing short of fantastic. Linklater stays true to his Indie style--jerky camera, drifting gaze, and steady head shots that allow non-actors to talk straight into the camera. To achieve the floating feeling of the dream sequences, he first tried taking aerial shots from a helicopter, then opted for the smoother ...

Robert Altman delivers one of his most startlingly enigmatic pictures with 3 WOMEN. Inspired by a dream Altman had in which he was shooting a film in the desert, the film tells the story of a shy, quiet girl named Pinky (Sissy Spacek), who starts working in a nursing home and strikes up a friendship with the talkative Millie (Shelley Duvall). The pair share an apartment and grow closer together, but a series of strange events cause their personas to change and morph in unexpected ways. Recalling the dreamy ...

The subject of cinema, of the mix of loneliness and connection that is part of being in a movie audience, is the concern of this sad, beautiful, minimalist composition by Taiwanese director Tsai Ming-Liang (WHAT TIME IS IT THERE?). The action takes place Inside a Taipei movie theater operated by a lonely clubfooted woman (Shiyang Chi-Chen) whose slow steps echo through the empty corridors and aisles, as if measuring out the feet of celluloid that make up the film itself. When a character actually speaks, the film is half over, and his exclamation that the theater is "haunted" echoes uneasily through the rest of the film, causing one to wonder just who is a ghost and who isn't. A lonely visitor to the theater (Kiyonobu Mitamura) acts pretty real. But then there are characters who seem to come out of nowhere to sit next to him and bother him with their loud eating. The film on the theater screen is the 1966 King Hu martial arts classic, DRAGON INN, and one of that film's original actors is even in the theater, with his grandson. While not a lot seems ...
