It's World War II, and Kay's husband, Jack (Ed Harris), has just joined the military. Kay (Goldie Hawn), like so many women of the period, decides to go to work to support the war effort. She finds a job at an airplane munitions plant, where she meets Lucky (Kurt Russell), a trumpet-playing hunk who is unable to serve in the war because of health problems. The two embark upon a romance after a lengthy courtship, which lasts a number of years. But when Jack returns home injured, he doesn't appreciate the news that his wife has been enjoying herself with another man. Jonathan Demme's smooth directorial hand is revealed by the unsentimental generosity with which he handles the supporting characters. Look in particular for Christine Lahti's standout performance as Kay's factory buddy, Hazel--a performance that notched her an Oscar nomination. SWING SHIFT is the rare World War II movie that focuses on the home front; it is particularly sensitive to the period's music, place, and mood.DVD Features:Region 1Snap CaseWidescreen - 1.85Audio: Mono - English Mono - French

In the idyllic bedroom community of Garrison, New Jersey, a community of NYPD officers takes refuge away from the big city's troubles while still enjoying all the kickbacks, cover-ups, and mob-owned banking privileges from across the river. But the code of silence is tested when an off-duty, drunk rookie cop from their ranks wrongfully kills two black men and the local sheriff begins to investigate. COP LAND is an ambitious ensemble drama notable for eliciting a strong performance (and a 40-lb weight gain) from Sylvester Stallone.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseLetterboxed - 1.85:1Audio: Dolby Digital 5.1 - English Dolby Digital Stereo - FrenchAdditional Release Material: TrailersInteractive Features: Scene Access Interactive Menus

Fight Club (DVD) Fight Club (DVD) » Fight Club (DVD)

FIGHT CLUB is narrated by a lonely, unfulfilled young man (Edward Norton) who finds his only comfort in feigning terminal illness and attending disease support groups. Hopping from group to group, he encounters another pretender, or tourist, the morose Marla Singer (Helena Bonham Carter), who immediately gets under his skin. However, while returning from a business trip, he meets a more intriguing character--the subversive Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt). They become fast friends, bonding over a mutual disgust for corporate consumer-culture hypocrisy. Eventually, the two start Fight Club, which convenes in a bar basement where angry men get to vent their frustrations in brutal, bare-knuckle bouts. Fight Club soon becomes the men's only real priority; when the club starts a cross-country expansion, things start getting really crazy.Like Tyler Durden himself, director David Fincher's FIGHT CLUB, based on the novel by Chuck Palahniuk, is startlingly aggressive and gleefully mischievous as it skewers the superficiality of American pop culture. Outstanding performances by Norton and Pitt are supported by a razor-sharp script and an arsenal of stunning visual effects that include computer animation and sleight-of-hand editing. One of the most unique films of the late 20th century, FIGHT CLUB is a pitch-black comedy of striking intensity.
