From class clown to “The Tonight Show” our host has been called the champion of the underdog: the blue collar comic, whose skewed yet sensitive vision of daily life’s faults and foibles has captured America’s funnybone. Comedy Competition host Jay Leno skillfully intermixes his ultrahot, ultrahip stand-up routine into an outrageous showcase of L.A.’s best and brightest new talents. John Belushi once called comedy “the rock & roll of the eighties.” If so, then host Jay Leno is today’s Elvis — smart, sharp, funny and electrifying!

HIP HOP
THE UNAUTHORIZED STORY BEHIND THE BIGGEST-SELLING, MOST CONTROVERSIAL, AND MOST REMARKABLE HIP-HOP ARTIST EVER. NOW AVAILABLE AT A NEW LOW PRICE! How did a shy, awkward white kid from Detroit become a rap superstar with over 25 million ALBUMS sold worldwide? Who is the real Slim Shady, a.k.a. Marshall B. Mathers III, a.k.a. EMINEM? Other films have been made about him, but none have even begun to scratch the surface of what drives this amazing talent. Now, from the producers of Welcome to Death Row, comes the film that cuts through the speculation. Featuring extensive interviews with his friends, family and others who knew him in his formative years, here at last is the real 8-Mile! Narrated by
Treach
Featuring exclusive interviews with Eminem’s:
Photos © Patrick Ford / Retna Ltd.
Mother, grandmother, uncle, former bodyguard, former manager and the DJs that made him a star.
Using borrowed money, rapper Eminem recorded and released his 1996 debut Infinite. A year later, Dr. Dre learned of him through a demo acquired by Interscope Records chief Jimmy Iovine. Using his new “Slim Shady” persona, Eminem would take second place in the freestyle category at 1997's Rap Olympics in Los Angeles. This was impressive enough for Dr. Dre, who signed the white rapper and released The Slim Shady LP in early 1999. Selling over a million copies before year's end and landing at #1, Eminem's future was assured. With his turbulent personal life, powder-keg temper and tendency to tangle with the law, it is still uncertain how long his career will last before he burns out, but it's already obvious that his music has made history and will long outlast any controversy that dogs him.

Life is an ever-changing portrait … can you see the whole picture? On the outskirts of a small town sits an abandoned psychiatric hospital. A constant visitor is Chet, a misunderstood artist whose obsession with the hospital is fueled by the memory of his mother, who died there years earlier. The isolation of Chet’s existence starts to change when he is reunited with his boyhood friend, Ron, who reminds Chet of happier times despite the fact that Ron isn’t quite the same guy he was when he originally left town. With renewed vigor, Chet decides to reach out to another misunderstood person, Cindy, an abused woman who is on the road to self-destruction. All of this causes unexpected repercussions, making Chet realize that people—and life itself—are rarely what they seem on the surface.

5% PREORDER DISCOUNT NO CANADA SALES
Long Pigs is a “documentary” by two desperate young filmmakers who stumble upon the ultimate subject: 33-year-old cannibalistic serial killer Anthony McAllister, who agrees to let them document every aspect of his horrifically violent lifestyle. Initially terrified, the filmmakers get to know Anthony as a person, and even begin to identify with the ecological and philosophical justifications for his cannibalistic lifestyle. It’s only when they investigate further that the filmmakers begin to doubt Anthony’s accounts of his past. Tensions noticeably rise as the filmmakers confront Anthony about his conflicting stories and ever-changing philosophies. As the film reaches its conclusion, Anthony begins to become uncomfortably aware of the how much of his life he has revealed to the filmmakers. In the final interview with Anthony, a deadly confrontation erupts and all that remains is a broken camera…and this footage.

This film follows the famous and original chef over a period of several months, paying homage to his talent and to the beauty and harmony of his dishes, which are veritable masterpieces of the culinary arts. Entering the culinary arts at the age of 14 the way others enter the priesthood, Alain Passard learned with the great masters before opening his own restaurant in Paris, L’Arpège, which has been a threestar restaurant in the Michelin guide for nearly 10 years now. His career is all the more exemplary when you consider how he shook up the small, conservative world of high gastronomy by bringing side dishes to center stage, eliminating the red meat on which he had built his reputation as a master chef to make the vegetable king of the plate. To accomplish this radical change, Alain Passard created his own vegetable garden in Fillé-Sur-Sarthe, where he expertly grows over 500 varieties of fruits and vegetables. DVD includes “Cooking Secrets: Sweet and Sour Vinaigrette, Root Vegetables in a Salt Crust, and Culinary Magic.” Made in France, Subtitled in English. “Like a musician interpreting a composer’s music, Passard sees himself as an interpreter of flavours, careful to allow their essential qualities to shine through. He faithfully conveys the essence of his ingredients, ensuring that their unique colours, flavours, and scents are retained.” — World Wide Gourmet “Not only did Passard give up meat in early 2001, a move which made big waves in the three-star world, he rejected the entire food production chain–all the way down to the farmer–and started growing his own vegetables.” — Centurion Magazine Six more Inventing Cuisine titles available in this series.

In many Asian cities, wild animals have been a part of people’s everyday lives for centuries. In the Northern Indian city of Bharatpur, tribes of rhesus macaques have, for generations, had their lives and diets dictated by the city’s human inhabitants. But most truly wild animals have to stay beyond the city limits, and as more and more wilderness is cultivated to feed expanding populations, life has become much harder for these wild animals living on the margins of the human world. On this DVD, you will meet golden jackals, toque macaques, elephants, and more. Finding a balance between the needs of wild animals like these, and the needs of human beings, is a worldwide challenge for the future.

In 1907 explorers discovered a vast treasure of ancient scrolls, some of which were Christian. Dating from the 7th century, the Jesus Sutras are Chinese accounts of the life and teachings of Jesus. The legendary Chinese monk, poet, and scholar Xuan Zang traveled the Silk Road to India and back approximately 1,400 years ago in search of the teachings of Buddha. When he returned to China, he brought with him Buddhist manuscripts and is thus credited with having brought the religion to his homeland. In this documentary, the route taken by Xuan Zang is followed by a film crew, and the fascinating history of Central Asia–and the life of the traveling monk–is seen to resonate to the present day.

Designed and first built by McDonnell Douglas, the F-15 Eagle is the United States Air Force’s most important air-superiority fighter, and one of the most important Western fighters since World War II. First deployed in 1972, it is expected to stay in active service until 2025, easily making it the longest serving fighter in the history of the US Air Force. It has been the backbone of the United States Air Force’s air superiority capability and remains, even 30 years after its debut, a formidable warplane and a legend of air combat.

It has proven its versatility during many combat operations over the last two decades, and has broken records for tactical aircraft in reliability and maintainability. The FA-18 will continue to play a key role in America’s carrier-borne air power for many years to come, and has earned its status as one of the legends of air combat.
