Directed by Anthony Minghella (THE ENGLISH PATIENT), this Civil War saga addresses romance, friendship, and the ravages of war--both in the field and on the home front. Far more than a simple love story, Minghella's film captures the horrors of war for both those fighting it, and for those left behind. Based on the Charles Frazier novel, this is a tale of hope, longing, redemption, second chances, and faith.Ada Monroe (Nicole Kidman) is a proper lady who accompanies her preacher father (Donald Sutherland) to Cold Mountain, North Carolina. She waits for her love, W.P. Inman (Jude Law)--a sensitive man with little use for many words--to return from war. In the process she learns basic survival skills and finds strength from no-nonsense Ruby (Renee Zellweger), a spitfire who can work the land as well as any man. Meanwhile, wounded Inman has had enough of war and killing, and is slowly working his way back to Ada despite the perils of being a Confederate deserter. Law and Kidman are genuinely touching as two virtual strangers who invest all of their faith in each other, and Zellweger is astounding as the uncultured but compassionate Ruby. Rounding out the cast is an impressive array of actors, including Brendan Gleeson, Ray Winstone, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Natalie Portman, Jack White (of the White Stripes), Kathy Baker, Giovanni Ribisi, and many others.DVD Features:Region 12-Disc SetAnamorphic Letterboxed Widescreen - 1.85Audio: Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound - English DTS 5.1 Surround Sound - EnglishAdditional Release Material: Commentary - 1.

In this French thriller from Francois Ozon, Alice (Natacha Regnier) and her boyfriend Luc (Jeremie Renier) find themselves in a terrifying trap when they sneak out into the woods to cover up a crime they committed together, and then cannot find their way back out. Compared to THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT and to SHALLOW GRAVE, the tale is creepy and twisting, involving rape, murder, burying dead bodies, and perhaps the worst of all: getting lost in the woods.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33:1

Based on a play by John B. Keane, THE FIELD tells the story of Bull McCabe (Richard Harris), a tradition-bound Irishman who fights to retain the land that his family has been farming for generations. McCabe, who rents the land from a young widow (Frances Tomelty), hopes to take full possession of it when the widow puts it up for auction. None of the villagers try to oppose the fearsome McCabe, but a smooth-talking young Irish American utilities developer (Tom Berenger) attempts to outbid him, shocking the entire village and igniting a tense battle between the two men. As the battle builds toward deadly consequences it threatens to jar loose the McCabe family's dark, painful secret--one that's kept Bull's wife (Brenda Fricker) from talking to him for 18 years.Director Jim Sheridan (IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, MY LEFT FOOT) coaxes brilliant performances from the cast, most notably Berenger, John Hurt as a local simpleton in a brilliant and devastating characterization, and Harris, who earned an Academy Award nomination for his astonishing portrayal of McCabe, one that elevates THE FIELD into the rarified air of Shakespearean tragedy.DVD Features:Region 1 EncodingKeep Case

This steamy period romance ranks as the first Hollywood-style, English language productions to emerge from China (Universal co-produced). Luo Yan (THE GIRL IN RED) produced, co-wrote, and stars as Madame Wu, an aristocrat trapped in a loveless marriage. It's 1938, and during her lavish 40th birthday party, Madame Wu decides to arrange for a much younger second wife, Chiuming (Yi Ding), to fill in as sexual provider for her infantile husband, thus freeing herself to pursue other interests. Of course nothing goes as planned and Madame Wu's rebellious son Fengmo (John Cho) falls in love with Chiuming instead. Madame Wu also finds herself falling in love, with Andre (Willem Dafoe), an American missionary who runs an orphanage and tutors Fengmo. As these romances flame up in the face of China's old-world traditions, other disrupting factors come into play, such as the arrival of electricity, the gathering influence of the communists, and the catastrophic invasion of the Japanese. It's all directed with plenty of operatic sweep by Yim Ho (THE DAY THE SUN TURNED COLD), adapted from the novel by Pearl S. Buck.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseAnamorphic Widescreen - 1.85:1Audio: Dolby Digital 5.1 - English DTS Surround 5.1 - EnglishAdditional Release Material: TrailersInteractive Features: Scene Access Interactive Menus

Two bartenders at a busy Manhattan watering hole dream of someday owning their own bars. Their present lives consist of elaborate drink-mixing performances and sleeping with many of the female customers, until a fight over a woman causes the younger bartender to flee to Jamaica.
In Jamaica he finds true love with a vacationing waitress, but blows it when his materialist instincts get the better of him and he takes up with a wealthy, older, New York fashion designer. She brings him back to the city, where he lives as a kept man for a time, but realizing that love will make him happier than money, he seeks out the waitress, and tries to win her back.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseAnamorphic Widescreen - 1.85:1Audio: Stereo - EnglishAdditional Release Material: TrailersInteractive Features: Scene Access Interactive Menus
