A Decade Under the Influence (DVD)
Examining the 1970s, the decade that has come to be seen as North American cinema's most revolutionary and experimental, this reverent documentary directed by Richard LaGravenese and the late Ted Demme interviews a handful of the key players and survivors of that fertile time. Beginning with EASY RIDER (1969) and other offshoots of producer/director Roger Corman's virtual training ground for young directors at b-movie studio American International Pictures, DECADE traces the trajectory of filmmakers such as Dennis Hopper, Peter Bogdanovich, Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese, Robert Altman, William Friedkin, and Paul Schrader. With clips from TAXI DRIVER, SHAMPOO, MCCABE AND MRS. MILLER, THE GODFATHER, and many more, the film conveys the richness of talent that the 1970s film world possessed. But the birth of the blockbuster (namely JAWS and STAR WARS) raised the studios' expectations for financial performance in the industry, virtually killing the chances of riskier productions--a development which gave birth to the thriving independent scene we know today. While even the filmmakers go out of their way to point out that their film is by no means all-inclusive, A DECADE UNDER THE INFLUENCE is flashy and informative, a trip well worth taking for both the novice cinema-goer and film scholar alike.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseAudio: Dolby Digital Stereo - EnglishAdditional Release Material: Additional Interview Footage - 1.

Slasher (DVD)
Director of such modern-day classics as THE BLUES BROTHERS and ANIMAL HOUSE, filmmaker John Landis has been responsible for some of the most memorable characters in American pop culture. In his first foray into the documentary genre, Landis profiles a real-life American character: used-car salesman Michael Bennett, aka the Slasher of the film's title. A fidgety, chainsmoking fast-talker with a voice like driveway gravel, Bennett travels the country helping used-car dealerships liquidate their languishing clunkers in weekend blowouts replete with drastically slashed prices and smarmy, in-your-face sales techniques. As Landis' camera follows Bennett through one particularly frenetic weekend sale in Memphis, Tennessee, SLASHER becomes both a fascinating character study and a cultural expose of that most enduring of American archetypes--the used-car salesman.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Audio: Dolby Digital Stereo - EnglishAdditional Release Material: Deleted Scenes Audio Commentary - 1.
