No Small Affair (DVD) » No Small Affair (DVD)

Director Jerry Schatzberg (SCARECROW, THE PANIC IN NEEDLE PARK) tries his hand at outright comedy with this lighthearted coming-of-age tale, featuring Demi Moore in one of her earliest roles. Jon Cryer is Charles Cummings, a 16-year-old dreamer whose life ambition is to become a photographer. He finds his world turned upside down when he meets--and immediately falls for--an older woman. Laura (Moore), a 23-year-old rock'n' roll singer, wants nothing to more than to get a big break. Obsessively in love with her, Charles spends his life savings on an advertising campaign that puts her face atop every cab in San Francisco. Surprisingly, Charles's efforts pay off, and Laura receives attention from a popular record company. The only trouble for Charles is that Laura still refuses to see him in the glowing, romantic way that he wants to be seen. Just when he's about to give up all hope, a lucky break changes things once and for all. Schatzberg's tender comedy captures the confusion of adolescence in a sensitive, yet hysterical, way. In the lead role, Cryer displays his uncanny ability to be a character that the audience can relate to, making NO SMALL AFFAIR an enjoyable document of the pressure of impending adulthood.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseWidescreen - 1.85Audio: Dolby Digital 4.0 - English

U-571 (DVD) » U-571 (DVD)

Faithful to the conventions of the World War II genre, Mostow's (BREAKDOWN) submarine thriller pays earnest homage to the pluck and determination of ordinary people forced to overcome extraordinary odds. The mostly young and inexperienced crew of the S-33 is deployed on a top secret, high-priority mission to intercept a disabled German u-boat (the titular U-571) and capture the ship's encryption system--the Enigma--in order to crack the Nazi's communication codes and hasten an allied victory in the North Atlantic. Racing against a German rescue effort, the S-33 stages a daring raid on the U-571. But after capturing the U-571, the Americans find themselves its prisoner as they must pilot the leaky, disabled vessel through hostile enemy waters. McConaughey (EDTV, DAZED AND CONFUSED) leads a strong cast (Keitel - HOLY SMOKE, Paxton - A SIMPLE PLAN) in this fast-paced, tense, submarine adventure.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseAnamorphic Widescreen - 2.35Single Side - Dual LayerAudio: Dolby Digital 5.1 - English DTS Surround 5.1 - English Dolby Surround - FrenchAdditional Release Material: Featurette - 1.

Konga Roja/Rio Escondido (DVD) » Konga Roja/Rio Escondido (DVD)

Two Mexican classics focusing on the plight of the rural, poverty-stricken peasant are collected here: KONGA ROJA and RIO ESCONDIDO. The supervisor of a banana packing plant (Pedro Armendariz) is a target for union oppositionists in KONGA ROJA. While defending the members of the plant`s union, and keeping their goals alive in the workplace, the supervisor is robbed by a band of bad guys. Little does he know that his so-called best friend is one of the culprits. Amidst the office politics and union protest, his life is further complicated by a romance with a singer (Maria Antonieta Pons) at a port tavern.A monumental achievement of the Mexican cinema, RIO ESCONDIDO is notable in a number of respects. It was directed by Emilio Fernandez, historically one of the most important Latin American filmmakers, at the height of his success and popularity. The star is Maria Filix, an actress with iconic status in Mexico, and the villain is played by Carlos Lspez Moctezuma, who won an Ariel (the Mexican equivalent of the Oscar) for his role in the film. The influence of Sergei Eisenstein on Fernandez is manifest in the film, with a story of poverty-stricken villagers being exploited by a cruel governor. Filix plays a teacher sent by the President to investigate the horrible living conditions and corrupt bureaucracies of the countryside. She arrives in Ciudad Juarez, where a greedy thug (Lspez Moctezuma) has seized control of the town and terrorizes its populace. The teacher educates the townspeople in how to defend themselves and battle the villainous mayor. RIO ESCONDIDO is a story of social justice made by some of the giants of Mexican cinema.
