Three men who have led very different lives are reunited by the funeral of a mutual friend in this second feature film from writing-directing team Neil Hunter and Tom Hunsinger (BOYFRIENDS). Stuart's accidental death leads his brother-in-law, his boyfriend, and his best friend to reconsider some of the choices they have made in their lives and, in some cases, gives them the courage to try things they have never tried before. Stuart's brother-in-law, Dan (Bill Nighy), is a loyal father and a faithful husband to Judy (Ellie Haddington) who is suddenly tempted by an exotic stranger (Clementine Celarie). Following the death of his lover Stuart, restaurateur Nick (Tom Hollander) is forced to confront his emotions when he is drawn to a woman (Sukie Smith). Carefree wanderer Tim (Douglas Henshall) faces adulthood for the first time when he falls in love with a local girl (Josephine Butler). Told in three sections from the perspective of each of the three main characters, this modern romance takes a remarkable look at how delicately lives can be intertwined and how the simplest action done by one person can affect so many others.DVD Features:Region 1 EncodingKeep CaseAudio: Dolby Digital Surround - EnglishAdditional Release Material: PreviewsInteractive Features: Scene Access

This acclaimed independent movie marked the feature film debut of director Susan Seidelman (DESPERATELY SEEKING SUSAN). SMITHEREENS tells the story of Wren, a 19-year-old girl from New Jersey who comes to New York City with a dream of making it big in the world of rock music--despite the fact that she can't sing, play an instrument or write songs. Once in the city, she gets a job at a photocopy store and, in her free time, pastes up photos of herself throughout the subway system with the question Who Is This? on each one. Much to her disappointment, nobody cares enough to find out. Among the many people she meets on her ill-fated quest for stardom are Paul, a sweet guy from Montana who lives in a van near the Hudson River, and Eric, a self-involved rock performer. Although she becomes romantically involved with both of these men, she finds Paul too nice for her taste, while Eric merely uses her for his own benefit.DVD Features:Region 0Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Audio: Dolby Digital 5.1 - EnglishAdditional Release Material: Audio Commentary - 1.

Based on the novel by Patrick McGrath, David Cronenberg's psychological drama follows Dennis Spider Cleg (Ralph Fiennes), a mentally disturbed man who has just been released from an asylum. Upon taking up residence in a seedy London apartment building, the already introverted Spider begins to retreat further into his own thoughts, shutting out the caretaker, Mrs. Wilkinson (Lynn Redgrave), and other eccentric tenants such as the wistful Terrence (John Neville). Within the confines of his mind, the anxious Spider revisits his childhood and literally watches his younger self (Bradley Hall) as he interacts with his doting mother (Miranda Richardson) and distant father (Gabriel Byrne). As his visions of the past continue, tragedy strikes and the dark history of Spider's life is slowly revealed.A surprisingly subtle outing for Cronenberg, SPIDER carefully avoids the director's grotesque body horror aesthetic, common to films such as VIDEODROME and THE FLY. By leaving his signature bag of tricks behind, Cronenberg frees himself to tell one of the most compelling stories of his career. The film is anchored by Fiennes' impressive performance as the mumbling, reclusive, and strangely sympathetic title character. In the hands of a less experienced and dynamic actor, Spider's awkward presence could border on caricature, but Fiennes imbues the self-isolated man with dignity and depth. Aiding Fiennes and Cronenberg in this minimalist masterpiece are McGrath (who has carefully pared down his hallucinatory prose), composer Howard Shore, and cinematographer Peter Suschitzky, along with actors Byrne, Hall, Redgrave, Neville, and, most notably, Richardson in a remarkable triple role.
