Spike Lee turns up the controversy notch once again with BAMBOOZLED, a sizzling satire on race and racism within the modern media world. Harvard-educated writer Pierre Delacroix (Damon Wayans), the only black employee on the staff of a struggling television network, suggests the most absurd idea for a pilot that he can possibly imagine, hoping it will convince his tyrannical boss, Dunwitty (Michael Rapaport), to terminate his contract and fire him. However, his plan backfires and his idea--MANTAN THE NEW MILLENNIUM MINSTREL SHOW--finds great success. The show is a stereotypical and racially charged depiction of the tap-dancing Mantan (Savion Glover) and Sleep'n' Eat (Tommy Davidson), two lazy, homeless black men who spend their days in a watermelon patch. As the show becomes a national sensation, Delacroix, his assistant Sloan Hopkins (Jada Pinkett), as well as her older brother, aspiring rapper Big Black Af' (Mos Def), begin to see the harm the show is causing the community, triggering outbursts with deadly consequences. Shot on digital video, Lee uses his basic premise to mock and accuse today's entertainers (including Chris Rock, Ving Rhames, gangsta rappers, and Lee himself) for being modern reincarnations of the stereotypical caricatures that were so offensive in the past. The result is a biting commentary that is at turns hysterical, absurd, and poignant.DVD Features:Region 1Snap CaseLetterboxed - 1.78Audio: Dolby Digital 5.1 - English Dolby Surround - EnglishAdditional Release Material: Audio Commentary - 1.

Writer and performer Eve Ensler created a one-woman show that she began performing off-off-Broadway in 1996. Her show, THE VAGINA MONOLOGUES, spoke of women's bodies covering subjects often considered taboo, risque, and threateningly empowering. The show was a revelation which would become one of the most popular theater pieces of its time. This performance is an intimate look into Ensler's original run of the show. Also included are interviews which give insights into the birth of this incredibly popular theater phenomenon.DVD Features:Region 1Snap CaseFull Frame - 1.33Single Side - Dual LayerInteractive Features: Scene AccessText/Galleries: Biographies - 1.
