Buy The Big Sleep (DVD)

Chandler's first novel introduced private detective Philip Marlowe, and THE BIG SLEEP set the standard for private detective movies. Down-at-the-heels private eye Marlowe gets the assignment to clean up after the daughters of a dying millionaire, but dead people have a nasty habit of trailing in their wake. The famously tortuous story line (Hawks supposedly asked Chandler to clarify a plot point about the murder of the family chauffeur; the novelist hadn't a clue as to who did the deed) seems beside the point when Bogart and Bacall are onscreen. The final release was recut to include more of their scenes together. A must! Remade in 1978.DVD Features:(Notes: Contains both the original theatrical release and the 116 minute 1944 pre-release version.)Region 1Keep CasePan& Scan - 1.33Dual Side - Single LayerAudio: Dolby Digital Mono - EnglishAdditional Release Material: Trailers - 1.Theatrical Trailer Documentary - THE BIG SLEEP COMPARISONS 1945/1946 (Featuring Robert Gitt of UCLA analyzing scene differences between versions.)Interactive Features: Interactive Menus Scene AccessText/Photo Galleries: Production Notes

Lasse Hallstrom (CHOCOLAT, MY LIFE AS A DOG) presents this strong, quiet, chillingly deep adaptation of the popular novel by E. Annie Proulx. In a fishing port set in the Canadian province of Newfoundland, newspaper journalist Quoyle (Kevin Spacey), his young daughter Bunny (Alyssa Gainer), and his stern aunt Agnis Hamm (Dame Judi Dench) have reclaimed their ancestral home, which stood vacant for 40 years perched over the raging sea on the edge of a cliff. The fresh air and the mundane routine of the sleepy village act as a balm for Quoyle's wounds. Having grown up with unhappy parents who cautioned him that he'd never amount to anything, Quoyle thought he'd finally found a stroke of luck when he fell in love with Petal (a surprisingly slutty but no less beautiful Cate Blanchett), Bunny's mother. However, after Petal's sudden death, and the simultaneous passing of his loveless parents, Quoyle's migration from downtrodden Poughkeepsie, N.Y. to coastal Canada is his salvation. As Quoyle gains confidence and pride daily through his coworkers at the tiny newspaper the Gammy Bird, through his friendship with Wavey (a lovely Julianne Moore), and through his reconciliation with some spooky family secrets from the distant past, Quoyle, Bunny, and Agnis slowly find new direction, new hope, and the beginnings of a new life.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseAnamorphic WidescreenAudio: TBDAdditional Release Material: Audio Commentary - 1.

FIRST DAUGHTER: Samantha MacKenzie (Katie Holmes) is a fun-loving 18-year-old who can`t wait to escape the overbearing clutches of her parents by starting college. But she finds herself impeded more than she would like thanks to her father`s (Michael Keaton) obtrusive day job as the President of the U.S. To make matters worse, President MacKenzie is currently undergoing a taxing bid for reelection, meaning that his daughter is subject to extra-tight security measures. Nevertheless, Samantha heads off to Redmond University in California, her head filled with dreams of independence and the chance to meet boys. But to Samantha`s dismay, campus life doesn`t live up to her high expectations. First, there are pesky secret service agents around every corner. Second, the deference of her fellow students proves to be a constant source of annoyance. Third, her roommate, Mia Thompson (Amerie Rogers), is an insufferable attention-seeker who is less than happy at being usurped by the famous Samantha. Salvation comes in the shape of James Lansome (Marc Blucas), a charming older student whose attempts to woo Samantha allow her to fulfill at least one of her pre-college fantasies. But, as director Forrest Whitaker (HOPE FLOATS) gently rolls this congenial comedy to a close, Samantha finds out that there is a lot more to James than meets the eye.EVER AFTER:
In this romantic fable, Danielle, orphaned by her father`s death, goes to live with a snotty wicked stepmother and her two daughters. When Danielle accidentally stumbles onto Prince Henry, the future King of France, who is also unhappy at home, the two inspire one another to resolve their respective problems.
