DC-area 7-piece ska outfit the Pietasters have been honing their sound since the early 1990s, and have developed into one of the most popular bands of the 3rd wave of ska. They built their reputation on their boisterous songs of carousal, drinking, sex, and their demand for audience participation at shows. After experiencing the DC punk scene during its heyday, the Pietasters toured relentlessly, and garnered a broad fan base with their catchy blend of reggae, soul, and punk music. The engaging explosion of energy that is a Pietasters show is very much in evidence here, as they perform before a raucous, rowdy audience at the legendary 9:30 club in their hometown of Washington, DC. The song list includes
Without You,
Something Better,
Fiesta,
Girl Take it Easy,
Pleasure Bribe,
Biblical Sense,
Perfect World,
Freak Show,
Drinkin` and Drivin`, and many others.

Legendary director D.W. Griffith (INTOLERANCE) delivers another sweeping historical epic with this film, based on the d'Ennery and Corman play, THE TWO ORPHANS. Sisters Lillian and Dorothy Gish are the girls who become separated in the streets of eighteenth century Paris during the dramatic upheavals of the French Revolution. As Henriette (Lillian Gish) searches for her blind adopted sister Louise (Dorothy Gish), she falls in love with a kind and concerned young member of the aristocracy, Chevalier (Joseph Schildkraut). Unfortunately their love is doomed by her commoner status, and his callous uncle (Frank Losee), who railroads her off to prison to keep them apart. The revolution occurs, and Henriette is liberated, but then there's more trouble when mob rule causes chaos in the streets, the guillotine awaits Chevalier, and Louise remains just out of reach.Griffith captures the class injustice at the heart of this story by contrasting scenes of lavish parties at the houses of the nobles with the abject poverty of the beggars outside. The thrilling use of crowds and meticulous historical accuracy make this an epic comparable in scope and theme to BIRTH OF A NATION, which is how Griffith undoubtedly meant it. The film is silent, with tinted scenes and film score.Keep Case
