Julie & Julia
is a film that should be relished with gusto--accompanied by the freshest
and best ingredients, pounds of butter, and bottles of the very best wine.
It lovingly celebrates the life of one of American food's most influential
and beloved figureheads: Julia Child--played here with zest, humor, and a
sweet, subtle respect by Meryl Streep, whose performance is spectacular.
Ben Stiller wrestles with extinct beasts,
historical figures, and meddling monkeys in Night at the Museum: Battle
of the Smithsonian, the sequel to the popular 2006 special-effects
extravaganza.
One of the brightest nuggets from Disney's
golden age, this 1937 film is almost dizzying in its meticulous construction
of an enchanted world, with scores of major and minor characters (including
fauna and fowl), each with a distinct identity.
The greatest adventure of all time begins with
Star Trek, the incredible story of a young crew’s maiden voyage onboard the
most advanced starship ever created: the U.S.S. Enterprise. On a journey
filled with action, comedy and cosmic peril, the new recruits must find a
way to stop an evil being whose mission of vengeance threatens all of

Walt Disney Pictures and Pixar Animation
Studios take moviegoers up, up and away on one of the funniest adventures of
all time with their latest comedy-fantasy. Up follows the uplifting
tale of 78-year-old balloon salesman Carl Fredricksen, who finally fulfills
his lifelong dream of a great adventure when he ties thousands of balloons
to his house and flies away to the wilds of South America. But he discovers

overly optimistic 8-year-old Wilderness Explorer named Russell. Their
journey to a lost world, where they encounter some strange, exotic and
surprising characters, is filled with hilarity, emotion and wildly
imaginative adventure.
Michael performs material that spans his
career, from a Motown medley to multi-platinum hits from Off the Wall,
Thriller, and Bad. Though he hadn't toured in 10 years, it
becomes instantly apparent, despite rumors to the contrary, that Jackson was
still in full possession of that unmistakable voice--high-pitched whoops and
all--and that he still had the gravity-defying moves of a man half his age.
Tinkerbell is back for a whole new season of
adventure in Tinkerbell and the Lost Treasure. Pixie Hollow is all

latest invention when she is unexpectedly summoned by Queen Clarion and the

Take the best elements from Seinfeld
and Arrested Development and you have It's Always Sunny in
Philadelphia. Combining the social-degenerate-buddy formula (three men,
one woman) with the beyond-dysfunctional-family element, Philadelphia
creates scenarios that are so hysterical, wrong, appalling, familiar,
embarrassing, uncomfortable, and entertaining, the show is addictive like
staring at a car wreck when you know you shouldn't, but you just can't look
away; it's invigorating like a fresh, loud, wake-up slap on the face.
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
(Two-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo + BD Live w/ Blu-ray packaging) [Blu-ray] (1937)
One of the brightest nuggets from Disney's
golden age, this 1937 film is almost dizzying in its meticulous construction
of an enchanted world, with scores of major and minor characters (including
fauna and fowl), each with a distinct identity. When you watch Snow White's
intricate, graceful movements of fingers, arms, and head all in one shot, it
is not the technical brilliance of Disney's artists that leaps out at you,
but the very spirit of her engaging, girl-woman character.
The summer of 1963 innocent 17-year-old Baby

As of its release in early 2007, Planet Earth
is quite simply the greatest nature/wildlife series ever produced. Following
the similarly monumental achievement of The Blue Planet: Seas of Life, this
astonishing 11-part BBC series is brilliantly narrated by Sir David
Attenborough and sensibly organized so that each 50-minute episode covers a
specific geographical region and/or wildlife habitat (mountains, caves,
deserts, shallow seas, seasonal forests, etc.) until the entire planet has
been magnificently represented by the most astonishing sights and sounds
you'll ever experience from the comforts of home.
Welcome to a world where Monday has a three
drink minimum. Mad Men exists here and it's a fabulous place to
visit, back before Betty Friedan's Feminine Mystique really made much
of an impact and before the Surgeon General put warning labels on
cigarettes. It was an America on the brink of social explosion and Mad
Men, which tells the story of a group of Madison Avenue advertising
executives in the early 1960s, captures that surface stillness perfectly,
complete with the growing tension barely contained below the surface. !
Get ready to be dazzled by Disney's big-screen

sharpest, funniest, and most under-rated shows of the 1990’s. Originally
created as MTV’s first foray into the sketch comedy genre, The State was a

sarcasm. The dynamic cast features 11 multi-talented actors that have

Stella, Viva Variety and Wet Hot American Summer. MTV’s

Clint Eastwood's Gran Torino, an
unassuming picture shot during a post-production lull on his elaborate
period piece Changeling, was quietly rolled out at Christmastime 2008,
whereupon it proceeded to blow away all the Oscar-bait behemoths at the
box office and win its 78-year-old star the best reviews of his acting
career. Both film and performance are consummately sly--coming on with
deceptive simplicity, only to evolve into something complex, powerful,
and surprisingly tender. Just as Unforgiven was a tragic
reflection on Eastwood's legacy in the Western genre, Gran Torino
caps and eloquently critiques the urban heritage of Dirty Harry and his
violent brethren. And on top of that, the movie becomes a savvy
meditation on America in a particular historical moment, racially,
economically, spiritually. Call it a "state of the union" message. But
call it that with a wry grin.
Saturday Night Live -
The Complete First Season : 1975-1976
Nicknamed the "Not Ready for Prime Time
Players," the original cast of Saturday Night Live ignited a comedy
revolution with their mix of irreverent characters and satirical
impressions of political figures and pop culture icons. From the

live from historic Studio 8H in New York City's Rockefeller Center, Dan
Aykroyd, John Belushi, Jane Curtin, Chevy Chase, Garrett Morris, Laraine
Newman, and Gilda Radner launched themselves into instant stardom and
were often referred to as "The Beatles of Comedy."

decades ago, Saturday Night Live has had the cultural impact and

musical performances by Simon & Garfunkel, ABBA, Patti Smith, Jimmy
Cliff, and Carly Simon. And if you're curious as to how the original
cast was hired, check out the DVD bonus features, which include the

In this acclaimed adaptation of the first
novel by legendary Southern writer Flannery O’Connor, John Huston brings
to life a world of vivid, poetic American eccentricity. Brad Dourif, in
an impassioned performance, is Hazel Motes, who, fresh out of the army,
attempts to open the first Church Without Christ in the small town of
Taulkinham. Populated with inspired performances that seem to spring
right from O’Connor’s pages, Huston’s Wise Blood is an incisive portrait
of spirituality and evangelicalism, as well as a faithful, loving
evocation of one writer’s vision.

Danny Boyle (Sunshine) directed this
wildly energetic, Dickensian drama about the desultory life and times of
an Indian boy whose bleak, formative experiences lead to an appearance
on his country's version of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" Jamal
(played as a young man by Dev Patel) and his brother are orphaned as
children, raising themselves in various slums and crime-ridden
neighorhoods and falling in, for a while, with a monstrous gang
exploiting children as beggars and prostitutes.
Running parallel with this dark yet
irresistible adventure, told in flashback vignettes, is the almost
inexplicable sight of Jamal winning every challenge on "Who Wants to Be
a Millionaire?," a strong showing that leads to a vicious police
interrogation. As Jamal explains how he knows the answer to every
question on the show as the result of harsh events in his knockabout
life, the chaos of his existence gains shape, perspective and
soulfulness. The film's violence is offset by a mesmerizing exotica shot
and edited with a great whoosh of vitality. Boyle successfully sells the
story's most unlikely elements with nods to literary and cinematic
conventions that touch an audience's heart more than its head.
Bolt (voiced by John Travolta) is the star
of the biggest show in Hollywood. The only problem is, he thinks the
whole thing is real. When the super dog is accidentally shipped to New
York City and separated from Penny (voiced by Miley Cyrus), his beloved

Together with his hilarious new sidekicks Rhino (voiced by Mark Walton)
– Bolt’s #1 Fan – and a street-smart cat named Mittens (voiced by Susie
Essman), Bolt sets off on an amazing journey where he discovers he
doesn’t need super powers to be a hero.
