The Third Miracle (DVD)
Agnieszka Holland directs this reflective, moving drama, which was based on the novel by Richard Vetere, who also adapted the screenplay with John Romano. THE THIRD MIRACLE tells the story of Frank Shore (Ed Harris), a priest currently undergoing a crisis of faith. Investigating a deceased woman upon whom he has the ability to bestow sainthood, he begins to fall for the woman's agnostic daughter, Roxanne (Anne Heche), confusing his purpose even more. Seeing his only chance for redemption in canonizing the woman, he must dig deep within himself to convince the cynical Archbishop Werner (Armin Mueller-Stahl) that she is, in fact, worthy of sainthood.Holland's film bears a tone of naive revelation when compared to the satirical, faith-free attitudes of most late-20th century films; it is this sincere approach to her story that makes THE THIRD MIRACLE such a fresh work of cinema. As the confused, but well-intentioned Frank Shore, Ed Harris delivers a fiery, engaging performance that proves his overflowing talent as an actor, giving the picture the heart that it needs, preventing it from slipping into overt sentimentality.DVD FeaturesRegion 1 EncodingAnamorphic WidescreenAudio Commentary by DirectorTalent FilesIsolated Music ScoreInteractive MenusScene Selection

Shadow Magic (DVD)
With her directorial debut, a colorful historical drama recounting cinema's arrival in 1902 Peking, Chinese filmmaker and co-writer, Ann Hu, makes history herself with the first co-production between Mainland Chinese and Taiwanese film studios. Liu, (Xia Yu) the young photographer at Master Ren's (Liu Peiqi) well-respected photo shop, is fascinated with new technology. Ren, however, thinks Liu's tinkering is a distraction from duties like photographing the Peking Opera's biggest star, Lord Tan (Li Yusheng). When an Englishman, Raymond Wallace, (Jared Harris) opens Shadow Magic, a small, dusty theatre touting a new technology of pictures that move, Liu is incredibly curious. After beholding the ethereal images in rapt amazement, the spellbound photographer begs Wallace for a job. The two men join forces, pledging to earn fortunes to impress Wallace's drifting wife, and Liu's beloved Ling (Xing Yufei), the pretty, aloof daughter of Lord Tan. Liu's double life soon leads to conflict, however, when his father, Ren, and Lord Tan view the Western gimmick as a threat to old, Eastern tradition. With elaborate costumes, and lovely locations like The Forbidden City and the Great Wall, Hu's film is a movie lover's cross-cultural paean to the power and magic of cinema.DVD Features:Region 1 EncodingKeep CaseWidescreenFull ScreenAudio: Dolby Digital 2.0 - English Dolby Digital 5.1 - MandarinAdditional Release Material: Audio Commentary - 1.

Me, You, Them (DVD)
ME YOU THEM tells the true story of Darlene Linhares (Regina Case), a woman with a huge heart and the practicality to deal with it; she has three husbands, each of whom satisfies her desires in his own way. Osias (Lima Duarte) is her rogue of a husband, the owner of a goat farm. The affectionate Zezinho (Stenio Garcia) joins the family when his mother dies; he performs domestic duties. And Ciro (Luiz Carlos Vasconcelos), the sexy hunk Darlene finds at work, is simply hot. Directed by Andrucha Waddington, this film is a provocative work that explores the fantasies a woman has during her marriage.In a way, ME YOU THEM is a fairy tale--the fantasy where love triumphs in the face of adversity. But, because it is based on a true story and because Case's performance is so earthy and easygoing, the fantasy becomes a reality. All of this takes place in the warm, arid landscapes of Bahia, Brazil, the hometown of Gilberto Gil--the legendary master of traditional Brazilian sounds--who also wrote the soundtrack. Waddington's combines the romance and simplicity of IL POSTINO and the wild sensuality of BELLE EPOQUE.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseWidescreenFull ScreenAudio: Dolby Digital 5.1 - Portuguese Dolby Digital 2.0 - FrenchAdditional Release Material: Audio Commentary - 1.

Kingdom of Heaven (DVD)
Director Ridley Scott confronts hundreds of years of religious conflict in KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. An epic film set in Europe and the Middle East, the story follows one man`s struggle to better himself and the world around him. Orlando Bloom stars as Balian, a French blacksmith who is mourning the deaths of his wife and baby when his estranged nobleman father (Liam Neeson) arrives and asks him to join the Crusades in Jerusalem. Mindful that conducting the Lord`s work will help him atone for his sins, Balian agrees, and embarks on the perilous journey. Along the way, he reveals his gifts of inherent goodness and fair treatment of all human beings. Upon reaching Jerusalem, a city where his meager beginnings no longer matter, Balian earns respect and fealty, while the evil Guy de Lusignan (Marton Csokas) looks down his aristocratic nose at the former laborer.As he did in GLADIATOR, Scott explores the theme of a man who chooses his fate, instead of accepting the fate given to him at birth. Balian comes to life in Jerusalem, protecting the weak and defenseless as his father told him he must, and catching the eye of the beautiful Princess Sibylla (Eva Green), unhappily married to de Lusignan. Scott paints a stirring portrait of the struggle over Jerusalem among Christians, Jews, and Muslims. In doing so, he also shows the passionate fight for religious freedom. KINGDOM OF HEAVEN ably handles these delicate issues, effectively treating characters from all factions as individuals and not as stereotypes. By placing a virtuous man at the center of this conflict, Scott creates a powerful, universal story.

Dear Frankie (DVD)
Directed by Shona Auerbach and filmed on location in Scotland, DEAR FRANKIE is a poignant, humorous story about a family struggling with isolation and poverty. Deaf nine-year-old Frankie (Jack McElhone) only knows his dad through the letters they exchange. Frankie reads each new letter reverently, saving the exotic stamps his dad sends from the different ports he visits as a sailor on the Accra, and loves the sea just as he thinks his dad must. But Frankie's mother, Lizzie (Emily Mortimer), has a secret--she's the one writing the letters and sending them from a post office. When she reads that the Accra is coming to Glasgow, Lizzie must decide if it's time to tell Frankie the truth, or find a man (Gerard Butler) to pretend to be his father for one day.Intimately focused and carefully told, DEAR FRANKIE slowly unwinds its coiled story to reveal the reason behind Lizzie's well-meaning deception. The performances are universally stellar. Mortimer combines steely determination with glimpses of vulnerability, Butler is a perfect combination of hesitation warming to genuine affection, and McElhone steals the show in a spot-on performance as a normal boy longing for his dad. DEAR FRANKIE offers a moving, uplifting look at families and the complicated love at the heart of each one.
