In FUNNY GIRL, the highly fictionalized musical biopic, Barbara Streisand makes her film debut in a reprisal of her Broadway role as Ziegfeld star Fanny Brice. Brice, a poor Jewish girl from New York's Lower East Side, rose to fame and won audience's hearts everywhere with her comic antics and powerful singing. Unfortunately, she had far less success in her personal life, and the film focuses on her doomed romance with her first husband, gambler Nicky Arnstein.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseWidescreenAudio: Dolby Digital 5.0- English Dolby Digital 2.0- FrenchAdditional Release Materials: Trailers Featurettes- 1.

This geeky 1999 office comedy starring Ron Livingston as a corporate Everyman instantly gained cult status for its unabashed caricatures of office personalities, and its theme of corporate sabotage. Peter Gibbons (Livingston) is a typical middle manager living a mundane life amid a gray maze of cubicles. Everything in his life reeks of mediocrity, from the mid-size car he drives to the chain restaurant, Chotchky`s (read: TGI Friday`s), where he eats lunch every day. Even his apartment, a cookie-cutter duplex with walls so thin that he can chat with his next-door neighborhood through the plaster, is totally lacking in personality. The company where he works is peppered with ambitionless drones who blindly comply with the condescending requests made of them by their Porsche-driving CEO (Gary Cole). Then one day, Gibbons snaps. As a team of experts is brought in to enact large-scale layoffs, Gibbons simply stops trying and adopts an attitude of total disinterest. That is, he`s only interested in dating the blond waitress (Jennifer Anniston) at the local restaurant, and putting in place a devilish scheme for some corporate payback.OFFICE SPACE`s writer-director Mike Judge (BEAVIS AND BUTT-HEAD), scares up some A-list laughs with this film, while also making an excellent parody of corporate culture. Released just as the dot-com boom began to go bust, with massive trends in corporate downsizing on the horizon, it could not have been better timed. Thus, while viewers will delight in the absurdity of the ultimate office loser Milton (Stephen Root), they will also identify with some frighteningly realistic aspects of the film.

THE FIVE SENSES is an ambitious drama that covers three days in the life of several Toronto residents. As the search for a missing child captures the city's attention, five individuals who live in the same apartment building each explore the five senses--touch, smell, taste, sound, and sight--and, in doing so, come to terms with issues that have recently plagued them. With its overall belief that love is the most important sensation of all, Jeremy Podeswa's film is thoughtful and engaging, featuring another standout performance by Mary-Louise Parker.DVD Features:Region 1Snap CaseAnamorphic Widescreen - 1.85Pan& Scan - 1.33Single Side - Single LayerAudio: Dolby Digital 5.1 - French Dolby Digital 5.1 - EnglishAdditional Release Material: Trailers - 1.

Remaking a 1980s anime of the same name, the action-packed television series AREA 88 offers a mournful indictment of the soul-killing nature of war. Based on a classic manga by Kaoru Shintani, the story takes place in the Middle Eastern country of Asran, whose leaders hire international fighter pilots to serve as aerial mercenaries in the desert kingdom`s ongoing civil war. The terms of the pilots` employment are harsh: either serve out the full three-year contract, pay $1.5 million to break the deal, or desert and be executed for treason. Japanese pilot Shin Kazama is one such mercenary recruit, having been tricked into service by his former best friend Satoru, who wished to steal away Shin`s girlfriend Ryoko. But as time wears on, Shin finds himself becoming inured to the violence and bloodshed he witnesses (and, indeed, wreaks) on a daily basis, irrevocably damaging his psyche and any possibility of returning to a normal life. Realistically depicting the sights and sounds of combat in high-octane action sequences, AREA 88 continues with this collection of three more episodes.
