The American Film Theatre: Collection Two (DVD)

The American Film Theater series was conceived in the 1970s by producer Ely Landau. Landau's idea was to blend the two mediums, the stage play and the movie, by filming a number of great plays and them showing them a few times a week at a theater where tickets must be bought in advance, as they would be at a play. The series produced a number of excellent adaptations of classic plays, five of which are included in this set: A DELICATE BALANCE, THE MAN IN THE GLASS BOOTH, IN CELEBRATION, THREE SISTERS, and THE HOMECOMING. See individual titles for details.DVD Features:Region 1Box SetAnamorphic WidescreenAdditional Release Material: Interviews Featurette TrailersInteractive Features: Scene Access Interactive MenusText/Photo Galleries: Stills/Photos Essays

Beginning Country and Bluegrass Dobro (DVD) » Beginning Country and Bluegrass Dobro (DVD)

The dobro is a little known instrument in the bluegrass family. Developed in the 1820s by a family of Czech immigrants--the word dobro is an anagram formed from their name, the Dopera brothers--it is a kind of resonating guitar that is played flat on the lap. Today it is an accepted part of many bluegrass ensembles, and the demand for dobro players is on the rise. This tutorial helps students start off on the right foot, familiarizing them with bar technique, pick technique, chimes, trills and bending strings, hammer-ons and pull-offs, rhythm chops, pacing, and much, much more.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33

Red Dragon (DVD) » Red Dragon (DVD)

Based on the novel by Thomas Harris, RED DRAGON stars Edward Norton as Will Graham, the intuitive FBI agent who captured the notorious Hannibal the Cannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins). When another killer, dubbed the Tooth Fairy, begins a series of bizarre, seemingly random killings, the now-retired Graham reluctantly agrees to aid in the investigation. In order to get further into the mind set of the murderer, Graham consults the imprisoned Lecter, who offers cryptic commentary that the determined agent must decipher. However, the Tooth Fairy himself, Francis Dolarhyde (Ralph Fiennes), is also in contact with the infamous epicurean, and the case soon develops into a deadly cat-and-mouse game, with Lecter deviously playing both sides.Rather than attempting to remake MANHUNTER--Michael Mann's 1986 adaptation of RED DRAGON starring William L. Petersen as Graham and Brian Cox as Lecter--or recreate the monster-movie atmosphere of HANNIBAL, director Brett Ratner wisely chooses to focus on the character-driven specifics of the first Hannibal Lecter novel. As in THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, the unblinking Hopkins makes the most out of his screen time as the eloquent yet terrifying former forensic psychologist. Norton is excellently understated as the talented investigator, while Fiennes explores the full range of his conflicted character, from a sensitive man-child to a methodical psychopath. These key performances are enhanced by strong supporting turns by Emily Watson, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Harvey Keitel, and Mary-Louise Parker. Ratner's capable direction extends to his choice of crew, which includes SILENCE OF THE LAMBS screenwriter Ted Tally and production designer Kristen Zea, as well as MANHUNTER cinematographer Dante Spinotti. This collection of talent combines to create an engaging and eerie thriller that brings the Hopkins-as-Lecter trilogy full circle.
