A King and His Movie (DVD)
Argentinean director Carlos Sorin (EVERSMILE, NEW JERSEY) took his own frustrating experiences trying film a movie about the true story of a man who, in 1860, declared himself the King of Patagonia, and formed them into this wild, surreal, and very funny movie. A film about the making of a film, Mr. Sorin details the struggles of a director and his producer in securing funding and adequate performers for this planned location shoot. Soon, however, the production runs into difficulties with its cast of local talent and with its financial backers. Virtually deserted by his cast and crew near the end of the shoot, the fictional director decides to finish the film completely alone, working only with a bizarre landscape populated by mannequins. Freely moving from the film-within-a-film to its surrounding story, Sorin etches a parallel between the King of Patagonia and the film director, both of whom are driven by something like madness.DVD Features:Region (unknown)Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Additional Release Material:Interactive Features: Scene Access

Author Stephen White takes aim at the media frenzy surrounding high-profile crimes in the 13th Alan Gregory thriller. Planning to attend a conference in Las Vegas, psychologist Alan Gregory visits the office of social worker Hannah Green, who had agreed to cover his patients in his absence, only to find her dead body. Her inexplicable death is followed by the disappearance of one of her clients, 14-year-old Mallory, who, as her childhood friend (i.e., JonBenet Ramsey, although her name is never specifically used in the book)
did eight years ago, vanishes from her Boulder home on Christmas Day. As Alan attempts to find answers for what seems initially to be two unconnected events, other people linked to Mallory disappear as well.
