How to Kill Your Neighbor`s Dog (DVD)
Peter McGowan (Kenneth Branagh) is a Los Angeles playwright with writer`s block. He still carries a reputation as a cynical bad boy, an image he earned with the gigantic success of edgy plays he wrote when he was much younger. Now Peter is a more mature man who has settled into a comfortable domestic life with his beautiful, encouraging, modern, fun young wife Melanie (Robin Wright Penn), who wants nothing more than to have a baby. But Peter, an impotent insomniac, can`t even imagine it. His last few plays have not fared well at the box office, which only makes it more imperative that he pour genius into his newest work. Juggling moody actors (Johnathan Schaech and Kaitlin Hopkins) and a deeply distracted producer (Peter Riegert), Peter searches desperately for a muse. He finds it in Amy (Suzi Hofrichter), the 6-year-old daughter of his new neighbors. Amy is a shy girl with a mild case of cerebral palsy who takes instantly to the McGowans, and even learns to dance when Melanie, a children`s ballet teacher, agrees to teach her. Though Peter begins to write again, he still suffers from insomnia and he wanders the streets at night, sometimes meeting up with a homeless man (Jared Harris) who is his doppelganger. All in all, HOW TO KILL YOUR NEIGHBOR`S DOG is a somber family drama that finds a pleasing balance between Peter`s grouchiness and Melanie`s peppiness.NR"

Winged Migration (DVD)
Jacques Perrin (MICROCOSMOS) presents this dramatically beautiful documentary about bird migratory patterns, featuring breathtaking photography and hypnotic music. The film covers seven continents during four seasons, highlighting species both unique and common. From puffins in Iceland, whooper swans in Japan, bald eagles in Alaska, flamingos in Kenya, albatross in New Zealand, macaw in Peru, geese in Nepal, and plenty of cranes and storks in the director`s native France, WINGED MIGRATION is literally a tour of the world from a bird`s eye view. Filmed over the course of three year`s time, the production for the movie was extensive to say the least. Using a crew of over 450 people broken up into five teams, new photographic techniques were invented specifically for the purpose of filming flocks of birds in flight. Balloon, helicopter, helicopter model, remote controlled glider, traditional glider, delta plane, and ultra-light motorized aircraft are the flying devices used to achieve the film`s incredible camera angles. In fact, because birds are not afraid of the delta plane, photographers were able to fly alongside flocks, sometimes filming birds as they gazed into the camera`s lense while also keeping in focus the dramatic landscape unfolding below. WINGED MIGRATION takes viewers on a unique journey soaring over the Earth as few films have ever done before.G"
