From Merchant Ivory Productions, director James Ivory brings to the screen the story of statesman and Declaration of Independence author Thomas Jefferson (Nick Nolte). The film takes place during the five years Jefferson lived in pre-revolutionary Paris, serving as the American ambassador to France prior to the fall of the Bastille in 1789. JEFFERSON IN PARIS focuses, however, on the personal side of his time there. A widower, he meets beautiful Anglo-Italian artist Maria Cosway (Greta Scacchi), whom he starts to court. When his slave's sister, Sally Hemings (Thandie Newton), joins the family in Paris, Jefferson also begins a relationship with her that would last for many years and would produce, arguably, many children. This passionate affair with his African-descended slave has been the subject of many historical debates and is thought-provokingly rendered in this period drama.Gwyneth Paltrow also stars as Jefferson's daughter, Patsy.DVD Features:Region 1Keep Case

Peter O'Fallon's heartwarming drama tells the uplifting story of an unlikely friendship between an emotionally scarred young boy and a mournful older woman. Twelve-year-old James Neubauer (Trevor Morgan) has never fully healed from the traumatic loss of his mother in a car accident. His father (Ray Liotta) has chosen to pretend it never happened, throwing himself headlong into work and a new life with James' stepmother (Catherine McCormack). For these reasons, James harbors a deep resentment for his father. The only friend he has is his quirky Uncle Charlie (Ron Livingston), but even Charlie is unable to provide the consolation James needs. Salvation miraculously arrives in the form of Maddy Bennett (Vanessa Redgrave), a local recluse who is still healing from a great loss of her own. When James accidentally breaks Maddy's fence, she demands that he fix it himself. What is initially a defensive, stubborn battle of egos slowly changes into an extremely close relationship that crosses all boundaries and helps both James and Maddy to confront and conquer their demons. Filmed with sensitivity, A RUMOR OF ANGELS boasts beautiful scenery, inspiring music by Mozart, and yet another unforgettable performance by the legendary Redgrave.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Anamorphic Widescreen - 1.85Single Side - Dual LayerAudio: Stereo Surround - English

Russian drama master Anton Chekhov's play THE SEAGULL is brought to life in this acclaimed 1975 production. Starring famed stage and film actors Frank Langella, Blythe Danner, Olympia Dukakis, and Lee Grant, the play mixes surreal comedy and family tragedy to moving effect. When Konstantin, an idealistic young playwright, writes and stages an experimental play at his family's country estate, friends and relatives convene there to see it performed. Among the audience are his egotistical, temperamental actress mother Arkadina, and her lover, a brilliant novelist named Trigorin. Their presence at the staging is disruptive and dramatic, stirring up profound emotions in all of those present.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Audio: Dolby Digital Mono - English
