ALL THE PRESIDENT`S MEN: In ALL THE PRESIDENT`S MEN, director Alan Pakula adapts the best-selling book by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein. Pakula created a film that takes its place among such important conspiracy dramas as THREE DAYS OF THE CONDOR and THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH. The focus is on the 1972 investigation of the break-in to the Democratic Party headquarters, otherwise known as the Watergate burglary. Through a complicated web of intrigue and secrecy that eventually involves the highest levels of government, hungry young journalists Woodward (Robert Redford) and Bernstein (Dustin Hoffman) of the Washington Post aggressively examine the incident, ultimately leading to the resignation of President Richard Nixon. Exceptional performances by Redford and Hoffman are complemented by Jason Robards as the dubious but supportive executive editor at the Post, and Hal Holbrook`s celebrated characterization of mysterious informer Deep Throat. The pacing of the film is quick and exciting, drawing viewers into the action of one of the most intriguing mysteries in all of American political history.THE CANDIDATE: Michael Ritchie once again shows his impressive ability to tackle new genres, after DOWNHILL RACER and PRIME CUT, with THE CANDIDATE, a scathing depiction of the hypocrisy and complexity within the American political world. Bill McKay (Robert Redford) is an idealistic young lawyer and son of a famous governor who is pressured into running for the United States Senate against the popular incumbent, with the assurance that he will lose and not have to give up his integrity or ideals. However, as the campaign deepens, he finds himself giving in and allowing himself to be manipulated as the polls slowly change and swing in his favor. Soon his backers decide that they want him to win after all. By the time Election Day arrives, McKay has become the exact person that he used to speak so vehemently against. Working from an Oscar-winning script by former McCarth

Writer-director Mike Figgis's remarkably understated first feature concerns a young man named Brendan (Sean Bean) who becomes involved in the seedy underworld politics of small Newcastle, England. Brendan takes a job at a local nightclub run by a man named Finney (Sting); he also meets Kate (Melanie Griffith), a cocktail waitress. Both Finney and Kate are struggling with an American business tycoon called Frank Cosmo (Tommy Lee Jones), who is trying to develop Newcastle at the expense of local businesses. Brendan's only half-knowledgeable involvement, the role of coincidence in shaping the ensuing action, the woman with a past--all the elements of film noir are at play here, accompanied by darkly lit streets and the reds and blues of nightclub neon. Figgis indulges his taste for jazz as well; he scored the film, and a jazz band even figures in the story. Bean and Griffith are believably entwined, but the standout in the cast is Sting, whose soulful Englishness is perfectly counterpoised with Jones's brash American bravado. In fact, STORMY MONDAY's interest in English culture versus American culture is an appropriate beginning for a director whose career would continue on both sides of the Atlantic.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Anamorphic Widescreen - 1.85Audio: Stereo Surround - EnglishAdditional Release Material: Trailers - 1.

A group of short films featuring well-known Hollywood stars, with plotlines using Tinseltown as their backdrops, are collected in HOLLYWOOD STORIES. In SAMMY THE SCREENPLAY, a script is tossed around Hollywood on its way towards being made, but nobody has ever bothered to read the thing. In WHO'S KYLE, Kyle steals a loan shark's money and escapes to the desert to hide. Once there he meets with a cast of characters whose weirdness at least makes his self-imposed exile more bearable. CUT, a horror film praised by Wes Craven, features an obsessive film student who fails to distinguish between fantasy and reality. EXIT 8A is about a troubled skinhead and his violent overreaction to the news that his girlfriend is pregnant. Finally, DON'T GIVE ME THE FINGER takes place in a bar on the outskirts of Los Angeles, where unusual characters gather and strange events occur.DVD Features:Region (unknown)Keep Case
