In the cutthroat fashion industry of Madrid, high-powered career woman Sonia puts nothing in front of her work--not even her family. But like with many other people in THE ARCHIMEDES PRINCIPLE, Sonia finds that her ruthless ambition comes back to haunt her. After doing her friend Rocio a favor by getting her a job, Sonia finds herself being back-stabbed by the very person she helped. And this is only the beginning of a long string of events rooted in deception. A dark look at the seething corporate underbelly and its effects on the human conscience, THE ARCHIMEDES PRINCIPLE explores what happens when professional drive overpowers personal values.

ONE NIGHT STAND is director Mike Figgis's morality play about casual sex in the age of AIDS. Max Carlyle (Wesley Snipes) travels to see his old friend Charlie (Robert Downey, Jr.) in New York and winds up in an act of infidelity with a beautiful stranger named Karen (Nastassja Kinski). Max's one night stand is not a source of fear or guilt, but rather a crisis that leads him to question the life he's built and is so easily convinced to betray. That life, as a family man and director of shallow commercials in Los Angeles, is best embodied in his demanding wife Mimi, a Hollywood socialite who only connects with her husband on apparently superficial levels. Mimi is played by Ming-Na Wen, who steals the show in her supporting role (except when Robert Downey, Jr. is on the screen, stealing the show even more in his supporting role as Max's friend, who is dying of AIDS). Making subtle use of his multiracial cast, writer-director Mike Figgis has crafted a dramatic tale about love, sex, and betrayal.DVD Features:Region 1 EncodingSpecial Features: Interactive Menus, Director Mike Figgis' Commentary throughout the film, Composer Mike Figgis' Isolated Music Score, Cast Biographies, Filmographies and More, Original Theatrical Trailer.Keep Case

Ronald Wilson (HOW GREEN WAS MY VALLEY) directs this TV adaptation of George Eliot`s classic. A mill passes between two families in a multi-generational tale, alternating between the wealthy Tulliver clan--headed by the bullying Tom (Christopher Blake)--and the poor but decent Philip Wakem. Maggie Tulliver (Pippa Guard), Tom`s sister and the protagonist, is the unfortunate though noble link between the two.

Director Feng Xiaoning continues his series of epics about Chinese history with a story of heroism in GADA MEILIN. At the turn of the 20th century, Mongolia was still very much locked in an agricultural, feudal way of life. Gada Meilin is a tribal chieftain thrust into the pages of history when he organizes the squabbling clans of the region to resist another leader who has sold part of their farmland to the invading Japanese. In the course of his struggles against the forces of greed and injustice, Gada Meilin became a hero and native legend to the Mongolian people. GADA MEILIN won numerous awards at Chinese Film Festivals.
