In the first of Fritz Lang's trio of newspaper films, Norah, a telephone operator, suspects that she may have committed a murder but is unable to remember. After receiving a Dear Jane letter from her boyfriend in the Korean War, Norah impetuously accepts a blind date with lecherous artist, Harry Prebble. At the luxurious nightclub The Blue Gardenia, Norah and Harry consume many tropical drinks and swoon to the bar's live music (Nat King Cole). When Prebble tries to take advantage, Norah beats him off and passes out. When she awakes at home the next morning, she learns that Prebble has been killed and immediately suspects herself. Caught between guarding her honor and admitting a truth she cannot remember, Norah looks on in horror as the case of the Blue Gardenia murderess becomes national news. As charismatic newspaper columnist Casey Mayo tries to reel in the unknown murderess, Norah attempts to face her conscience and remember what happened.
Lang manipulates the psychological ramifications of Norah's guilty conscience by making her world a nightmare of accusing glances and suspecting strangers. The film's noir vision of crime and punishment is humanized with the portrayal of the compassionate and realistic characters of Norah and her working girl roommates as well as with the burgeoning attraction between Norah and Casey.DVD Features:Region (unknown)Snap CaseFull Frame - 1.33

This made-for-television movie stars Fay Alexander as pop icon and muse for the tabloid press, Michael Jackson. From his turbulent upbringing and early success as the star of the Jackson Five, to his wildly successful career as a solo artist in the 1980s, through the scandals that have overshadowed his music career throughout the late 1990s and into the 21st century, Jackson has lived up to his title of entertainer by maintaining the public's interest. Covering all the topics that come to mind when one thinks of this superstar, MAN IN THE MIRROR is careful not to choose sides, maintaining an objective, humorous perspective on a personal life that became public drama. When THRILLER was released in 1982, Jackson was at the height of his musical career, recognized for his undeniable talent and infectious stage persona. Winning over fans worldwide with his now-famous moonwalk, Jackson quickly became a true pop icon. Upon entering middle age, Jackson was no less famous, but was discussed more in terms of allegations concerning plastic surgery and child abuse than for his actual music. However, one thing is for sure--whether it's through his music, or with the page-six frenzy that surrounds him, Jackson has always commanded the world's fullest attention.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseWidescreen - 16.9Audio: Stereo - EnglishInteractive Features: Scene Access

Drug use, suicide, depression, and friendship are just a few of the topics covered in this startling film from director Beth Dewey. When drug addict Rikki (Jay Diola) commits suicide after falling foul of a heavy bout of depression, friends Carrie (Darling Narita) and Michelle (Ali Raymer) react violently. Shooting a local drug dealer who they hold responsible for Rikki's death, the girls skip town in order to avoid the law and any vengeance that may be metted out to them by local drug lords. But the craziness really kicks in as Michelle's behavior spirals out of control, and Carrie's attempts to bring her back down to earth produce less than satisfying results. A movie that bolts straight out of the gate and doesn't let the attention waver for a second, TWEEKED is a damning indictment of contemporary social morality.DVD Features:Region (unknown)Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33
