Best of Rowan & Martin`s Laugh-In 2 (DVD)
A second volume of ROWAN & MARTIN`S LAUGH-IN shows follows hot on the heels of the runaway success of the first boxed set in the series. Six shows are included, spanning the years 1968-1971. Having totally revolutionized the televisual approach to comedy, the constant, almost incessant, laughs keep on rolling in this fast-paced collection of shows. An awesome array of special guests are wheeled out to help with the laugh-fest, including Zsa Zsa Gabor, Goldie Hawn, Lily Tomlin, Johnny Carson, Danny Kaye, and many more. Although very much of its time, these shows easily buck modern comedy trends and remain a timeless wonder that opened the floodgates for similar shows.NR"

Nadia: Secret of the Blue Water Vol. 2 - The Dark Kingdom (DVD)
Based on Jules Verne`s 20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA, NADIA: SECRET OF THE BLUE WATER begins at The World`s Fair in Paris, 1889. There, a young inventor named Jean meets a young woman named Nadia, who happens to have a pet lion. Almost immediately, the two are pursued by a trio of hoods who seem to be after a magical liquid known as the Blue Water. It seems that the necklace Nadia wears is a key to finding it, so Jean and Nadia set off on a journey through her past as they try to discover the secret behind the Blue Water. In these episodes, Nadia and Jean are rescued from a sea monster by a futuristic submarine named the Nautilus. Soon, Jean and Nadia are headed to Africa with Grandis, who is still after Nadia`s Blue Water gem, not far behind.NR"
The Snows of Kilimanjaro (DVD)
This lavish, big-budget blockbuster combined tales from Ernest Hemingways life with Papas already famous autobiographical novel of the same name. As Harry (Gregory Peck) lies wounded and delirious in an African campsite at the foot of the snow-covered slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro, he recounts the story of his life in a series of flashbacks. Writing, women, and big-game hunting--these are the things that have defined and dominated his existence. In pursuit of all three, he has traveled the globe from the salons of Bohemian Paris to the battlefields of Spain to the plains of Africa. Now, in the shadow of the great mountain and his own approaching death from gangrene, he tries to make sense of his failures. Few Hemingway novels play as well onscreen as they do on paper, but under the direction of Henry King, star Peck turns in an inspired performance. Susan Hayward plays Harrys devoted beau, while Harry himself pines for the love he lost in Cynthia (Ava Gardner). The romantic, sentimental, qualities embedded in the fine script are driven home by Bernard Hermanns brilliant score. Theater operators actually feared that audiences would stay away from the film because they couldn`t pronounce Kilimanjaro, but the film turned out to be one of the biggest hits of 1952.NR"
