Director Bruce Beresford's adaptation of Beth Henley's Pulitzer Prize-winning play about three eccentric southern sisters stars Diane Keaton as Lenny Magrath, Jessica Lange as Meg, and Sissy Spacek as Babe. Long separated, they convene for Lenny's birthday at the family mansion in the Deep South, where Lenny cares for her ailing grandfather. Lenny, the oldest sister, anxious about her shrunken ovary, has never married, nor has Meg, with her underwhelming singing career and her long string of boyfriends. As for Babe, she's fresh out of jail, having shot her husband, a senator, for objecting to her affair with a teenage boy. Given the family's long history of adultery, scandal, and tragedy, including their mother's well-publicized suicide, the reunited siblings have much to talk about. And since this is a family reunion, it's natural that nasty cousin Chick Boyle (Tess Harper) should appear to give the sisters a piece of her mind. Keaton, Lange, and Spacek share a wonderful chemistry in this dark comedy that's equal parts laughter and tears.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseWidescreenAudio: Dolby Digital English 5.1 Dolby Surround English 2.0Additional Release Material: TrailerInteractive Features: Interactive Menus Scene Access

Boris Pasternak's epic tale of star-crossed love during the Russian Revolution is remade for the television screen in this British miniseries, the first film adaptation of DOCTOR ZHIVAGO since David Lean's legendary 1965 feature. This version casts Hans Matheson (THE MISTS OF AVALON) as the title character, a doctor and poet torn between the love of his faithful wife Tonya (Alexandra Maria Lara) and the passion of his muse and mistress Lara (Keira Knightley, PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN, BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM), herself the wife of a political revolutionary. Their love affair plays out against the wars and upheavals of czarist Russia until they--and the nation--are finally and irreparably altered by the advent of the Russian Revolution. This retelling of the literary classic is scripted by celebrated screenwriter Andrew Davies (BRIDGET JONES' DIARY) and features Sam Neill in a chilling performance as Lara's villainous tormentor Komarovsky.DVD Features:Region [unknown]Keep Case2-Disc SetAnamorphic WidescreenAudio: Dolby Digital Stereo - EnglishAdditional Release Material: Production Interviews - 1.

The silent film TOL'ABLE DAVID is widely considered one of the finest early U.S. action films. The film is a far cry from the hectic cutting and special effects of the modern blockbuster, but under Henry King's stellar direction it quickly and quietly presents the emotional elements of the form, centering on a young hero, David, who against all odds faces down an evil enemy to win respect and love. David, who idolizes his older brother, sees him struck down by the Hatburns, three criminal fugitives who have taken up residence in David's otherwise bucolic village. When David's father dies shortly thereafter, David must swear off revenge in order to support his widowed mother and younger siblings. David is shamed by his neighbors, who view his filial loyalty as cowardice, and he is unable to attract the desired attentions from his beloved, a Hatburn herself. But working for the U.S. Postal Service, David is soon poised to prove his courage, avenge his family, and win his love's heart.DVD Features:Region Encoding: All RegionsKeep CaseOriginal Presentation (20 Frames-Per-Second)Henry King Reminisces Interview From 1977

Director Gary Fleder (THINGS TO DO IN DENVER WHEN YOU'RE DEAD, KISS THE GIRLS) tackles best-selling novelist John Grisham's tale of jury manipulation in RUNAWAY JURY. Jury consultant Rankin Fitch (Gene Hackman) can spin any jury in favor of his client. At least he always could before. But his latest job may turn out to be his most challenging. As an explosive civil case goes to trial in New Orleans, Fitch thinks he has arranged for the perfect jury and has the verdict sealed in favor of his client, a gun manufacturer. Soon, however, he starts receiving phone calls from the mysterious Marlee (Rachel Weisz), who claims that she can turn the jury any way she wants and--for a price--she'll spin it his way. Meanwhile, Marlee is making the same offer to the plaintiff's lawyer, Wendell Rohr (Dustin Hoffman), a Southern gentleman who always plays by the rules. Marlee's insider is Juror #9, Nick Easter (John Cusack), who is working with her to influence his fellow jurors. Are these two just grifters in it for the money, or do they have another agenda? The audience is kept guessing until the very end.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseWidescreenAudio: Dolby Digital 5.1 - English Dolby Surround - Spanish Dolby Surround - FrenchAdditional Release Material: Audio Commentary - 1.
