Cocoon/Cocoon 2: The Return 2-Pack (DVD)

COCOON: A group of senior citizens residing in a rest home find their lives turned upside down after they are offered the gift of eternal youth by benevolent aliens in Ron Howard's wonderful tribute to the human spirit. Brian Dennehy is Walter, an alien who returns to earth to rescue 20 of his friends now hibernating in cocoons off the coast of Florida. With the help of a charter boat captain (Steve Guttenberg), the cocoons are stored in a deserted swimming pool. When three men from a nearby retirement village (the charming Don Ameche, Wilford Brimley, and Hume Cronyn) sneak into the pool for a swim, they discover what seem to be oversized oystershells in the water. Suddenly they feel physically and spiritually rejuvenated, believing they've found the long elusive Fountain of Youth. The men's frisky behavior causes something of a controversy in the retirement village as residents are forced to choose between a second youth or accepting the more natural aging process. The ensemble cast of experienced actors, including Ameche, Brimley, and Cronyn as well as Cronyn's real-life wife, Jessica Tandy; Maureen Stapleton; Gwen Verdon; and the skeptical Jack Gilford all bring a dignity to the film's youthful, spirited theme. COCOON, one of the best films of the 1980s, is a heartwarming story that should be treasured for generations.COCOON 2: THE RETURN: In director Daniel Petrie's sequel to the smash hit COCOON, the retirees who chose to leave earth to live forever return home for a temporary visit with their loved ones while their alien escorts attempt to rescue a cocoon dislodged by a pesky oceanographer (Courteney Cox). Don Ameche is back as Art Selwyn, with his friends Ben Luckett (Wilford Brimley) and Joe Finley (Hume Cronyn) and their wives, Bess (Gwen Verdon), Mary (Maureen Stapleton), and Alma (Jessica Tandy). They rediscover the value of human emotion and the fragility of their own lives as they visit with their old friends and remember what it's like to live

Longstanding leaders of the UK underground music scene, Pitchshifter combined the social confrontation of early punk music with an innovative blend of samples, drum machines, and live music to create a punk-drenched drum'n'bass in the vein of Fear Factory, but which was uniquely their own. Beginning in the early'90s, the band played with an aggressive, industrial sound that attempted to bring their acute social consciousness across to their audiences; they developed a wide fan base touring with the likes of Tool, Korn, Ministry, and Girls Against Boys. P.S.I.entology documents a 13 song set played before an appreciative crowd in their hometown of Nottingham, and includes such favorites as Microwaved, Genius, Please Sir, and many others. The DVD also affords an intimate, behind the scenes look at the group, with commentary and interviews with vocalist J.S. Clayden, photographs, and a short documentary using the band's private footage.DVD Features:Region 0Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Audio: 5.1 Surround - EnglishAdditional Release Material: The Making of the P.S.I.
