• Rated: Not for sale to persons under age

• DVD Release Date: October 5, 2004
• Run Time: 122
• Summary: One of the most controversial
and provocative films of the year, FAHRENHEIT 9/11 is Academy Award-winning
filmmaker Michael Moore's searing examination of the Bush administratio's
actions in the wake of the tragic events of 9/11. With his characteristic
humor and dogged commitment to uncovering the facts, Moore considers
the presidency of George W. Bush and where it has led us. He looks
at how and why - Bush and his inner circle avoided pursuing the
Saudi connection to 9/11, despite the fact that 15 of the 19 hijackers
were Saudis and Saudi money had funded Al Qaeda. FAHRENHEIT 9/11
shows us a nation kept in constant fear by FBI alerts and lulled
into accepting a piece of legislation, the USA Patriot Act, that
infringes on basic civil rights. It is in this atmosphere of confusion,
suspicion and dread that the Bush Administration makes its headlong
rush towards war in Iraq and FAHRENHEIT 9/11 takes us inside
that war to tell the stories we haven’t heard,

The Shawshank Redemption
(Two-Disc Special Edition)
• Starring: Tim Robbins, Morgan Freeman,
Bob Gunton, William Sadler, James Whitmore
• Director: Frank Darabont
• Format: Color, Closed-captioned, Widescreen
• Rated: Not for sale to persons under age
18.
• Studio: Warner Home Video
• DVD Release Date: October 5, 2004
• Run Time: 142
• Summary: In writer-director Frank Darabont's
THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins) is sentenced
to two consecutive life terms in prison for the murders of his wife
and her lover in the late 1940s. However, only Andy knows that he
didn't commit the crimes. Sent to Shawshank Prison to do hard time,
Andy--a taciturn banker in the outside world--has to learn to get
by in the brutal, cutthroat confines of prison life. His quiet strength
slowly earns the respect of his fellow inmates--most notably, Red
(Morgan Freeman)--and even much of the prison staff. But Andy's
seemingly stoic acceptance of his unjust imprisonment hides a fierce
determination for freedom. This beautifully crafted movie features
touching and sincere performances from the entire cast, with an
uplifting message about humanity's indomitable spirit and the redemptive
value of hope. Based on the novella RITA HAYWORTH AND SHAWSHANK
REDEMPTION by Stephen King, Darabont's intriguing adaptation is
easily one of the finest films of the 1990s. |
