The Acid House (DVD)
A trio of stories adapted by Irvine Welsh (TRAINSPOTTING) from his collection of stories of the same name, THE ACID HOUSE is an absurd and brutal look at life through the eyes of one of the most prominent Scottish authors of the 1990s. The film begins with The Granton Star Cause, which stars Stephen McCole as Boab, a listless loser who meets god in a bar and is promptly changed into a fly for his lack of ambition. The second story, A Soft Touch, is the incredibly bleak tale of Johnny, a hapless young man who allows his wife to carry on numerous extramarital affairs, and how his life is thrown into turmoil when a self-assured neighbor moves in next door. The final section of the film is the title story, which stars Ewen Bremner as Coco, a raver who ingests a heroic amount of LSD one night, is struck by lightning, and promptly switches bodies with a newborn infant. By turns depressing, mordantly funny, and deliriously surreal, THE ACID HOUSE fully lives up to its author and screenwriter's pedigree.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseLetterboxed - 1.85:1Additional Release Material: Production Interview - 1.

Rumiko Takahashi's Anthology - Vol. 2: Happy Disaster (DVD)
Three tales from the one of the most fertile minds in the world of manga and Anime are presented in RUMIKO TAKAHASHI ANTHOLOGY V. 2: HAPPY DISASTER. Rumiko Takahashi is the creator of popular mega-series such as INUYASHA and RANMA 1/2, and this anthology Anime provides a contrast with single episode short stories. The stories are both comedic and dramatic, and largely avoid the fantasy and science fiction elements that pervade most Anime, instead concentrating on naturalistic, slice-of-life narratives that explore the changing Japanese culture. One of Japan's premier storytellers since the 1980s, Takahashi displays the range of her talent through the variety of tales in the RUMIKO TAKAHASHI ANTHOLOGY.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseAnamorphic Widescreen - 16:9Audio: Dolby Digital 2.0 - Japanese, English Subtitles - English - OptionalAdditional Release Material: Additional Footage - 1.

Tom Green - Inside & Outside (DVD)
Irreverent Canadian Tom Green has built his unlikely success on his willingness to do just about anything for a laugh, offending many even while he was winning his most ardent fans. Beginning with his own show on a cable access station in his home town of Ottawa, he was eventually picked up by Canada`s Comedy Network in 1997. Moving to MTV to make THE TOM GREEN SHOW known to the rest of the world, Green launched his Hollywood career with such films as ROAD TRIP and STEALING HARVARD, and had a brief but high-profile marriage to Drew Barrymore (E.T., FEVER PITCH). He also began touring with his rap group, the Keepin` It Real Crew, which includes DJ EZ Mike of the Dust Brothers. This collection features highlights from 26 classic episodes of his show, which established Tom`s reputation as a master of the scatological and the shocking with his proclivity for such stunts as fondling horses, noodling around with dead cats, and pulling pranks on important people. Also included are bonus sketches and studio outtakes that have never been seen before.

Under the Sun (DVD)
Set in the Swedish countryside in 1956, UNDER THE SUN is the tale of a lonesome middle-aged farmer, Olef (Rolf Lassgard). He has one friend, Erik (Johan Widerberg) who helps him with some of the work on the farm, but for the most part he lives a solitary life. That is, until he decides to hire a housekeeper. The gorgeous blond, Ellen (Helena Bergstrom), who shows up to take the position sweeps him off his feet. Although an inevitable love triangle develops between Rolf, Ellen, and the jealous Erik, UNDER THE SUN keeps its focus on the beautiful rural landscape and maintains a light and joyous mood.Scriptwriter/director Maggie Greenwald has loosely based her movie on the songcatchers who uncovered the Appalachian-British folk song connection in the late 1910s. Greenwald and the regal Janet McTeer make Lily Penleric an aloof woman who at first sees the songs as specimens to be collected scientifically. Then gradually, Lily is drawn into the drama of the women's mountain lives--their joy and sadness, their hard fought existence, their men and their infidelities, their tolerance and intolerance. And, as she is drawn in, Lily begins to fall in love with the performers, particularly the feisty matriarch Viney Butler (Pat Carroll), and the orphan Deladis Slocumb (Emmy Rossum, a 13-year old with an astonishing voice who makes a notable film debut).SONGCATCHER won the Special Jury Prize for Ensemble Cast at Sundance 2000.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseWidescreen - 2.35Additional Release Material: Original Theatrical TrailerInteractive Features: Scene Selections

On Our Merry Way (DVD)
Also released under the title A MIRACLE CAN HAPPEN, this three-part anthology features vignettes that are connected by a question from feature reporter Oliver Pease (Burgess Meredith): Has a child ever changed your life? In the first episode Henry Fonda and James Stewart star as Lank and Slim, a pair of squabbling jazz musicians who try to pick up some extra money by rigging a music contest. Little do they know that their scam involves a babe rather than a baby.The second, which stars Dorothy Lamour and Victor Moore as movie extras Gloria Manners and Ashton Carrington trying to contend with an obnoxious child star, parodies Lamour's sarong-clad image. In the third section, which echoes O. Henry's RANSOM OF RED CHIEF, Fred MacMurray and William Demarest star as hoboes Al and Floyd, who have been stuck with temporary custody of a young practical joker. To their misfortune, his wealthy uncle Eli Hobbs (Hugh Herbert) refuses to take him back without payment. Little seen even during its initial release, the film features a number of Hollywood heavyweights in fine performances. Despite a game effort by this star-studded cast, slapstick proved not to be Vidor's metier. MacMurray and Demarest, however, have a natural chemistry that was to shine when they paired again on television's MY THREE SONS.DVD Features:Region 1 EncodingKeep Case
