THE SQUID AND THE WHALE: Noah Baumbach`s THE SQUID AND THE WHALE is an excruciatingly humane, often hilarious portrait of a disintegrating family in mid-1980s Brooklyn. Set in the stately yet off-kilter neighborhood of Park Slope, the film tells the story of the Berkmans, a quintessentially New York family struggling to keep things together. Family patriarch Bernard (Jeff Daniels) is a published author and writing teacher whose insecurity over his diminished reputation continues to plague him. Meanwhile, his wife, Joan (Laura Linney), is grappling with her own dissatisfactions. Their sons, who are caught in the crossfire, express their confusion in different ways: 16-year-old Walt (Jesse Eisenberg) tries to pass off Pink Floyd`s
Hey You
as his own hit in the school talent show, while his 12-year-old brother, Frank (Owen Kline), begins to explore his budding sexuality. When Bernard and Joan finally decide to separate, the family must confront their unraveling situation head on.Rarely has family dysfunction been captured so frankly and honestly as in THE SQUID AND THE WHALE. Baumbach claims his film is only semi-autobiographical, but, from the pitch-perfect writing and nostalgic tone, it feels as if we`re watching home videos of the writer-director`s past. Featuring an outstanding pop-music soundtrack (Bert Jansch, The Feelies, Lou Reed), the film also boasts performances that seem certain to earn end-of-the-year accolades.ADAPTATION: Following up their acclaimed debut, BEING JOHN MALKOVICH, screenwriter Charlie Kaufman and director Spike Jonze are back to metaphysical moviemaking with ADAPTATION. The film stars Nicolas Cage as both Charlie Kaufman himself and his fictionalized identical twin brother, Donald Kaufman. While the boisterous Donald freeloads off his sibling and works on a serial-killer movie script, Charlie is tormented by both his own army of neuroses and his new project, adapting THE ORCHID THIEF by Susan Orlean into a screenplay.

Monty Python is not a man. Monty Python is six men. Consisting of British actors Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, Michael Palin, and American Terry Gilliam, the hugely influential comedy troupe evolved from Cambridge University's Footlight Society in the late 1960s in order to become one of the most worshipped comedy acts of all time. Groundbreaking both in terms of its offbeat acting style and radical approach to the most controversial, taboo subjects (including sex, race, and politics), the legendary series MONTY PYTHON'S FLYING CIRCUS would forever change the face of sketch comedy. After the series' demise, the unit would go on to create several big screen classics, including MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL and MONTY PYTHON'S LIFE OF BRIAN, as well as spawning major Hollywood careers for its members (most notably, Gilliam, director of THE FISHER KING and TWELVE MONKEYS).This release contains: The Golden Age of Ballooning (episode 40); Michael Ellis (episode 41); The Light Entertainment War (episode 42); Hamlet (episode 43); Mr. Neutron (episode 44); and Party Political Broadcast (episode 45).DVD Features:Region 12-Disc Set - Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Audio: Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo - English Subtitles - English - OptionalAdditional Release Material: Bonus Footage Film Clips/Highlights - 1.
