MacArthur Park (VHS)
MACARTHUR PARK is the powerful directorial debut of actor Billy Wirth (THE LOST BOYS, WAR PARTY). Wirth`s film was initially intended as a documentary on the homeless drug addicts living in Los Angeles` once-elegant, but now crime-infested, MacArthur Park. While interviewing park denizens for the documentary, Wirth learned of a script written by a former playwright-turned-crack-addict, Tyrone Atkins, who lived in the park but was now serving time in prison. Atkins` manuscript was eventually found and filmed by Wirth as a loosely-disguised autobiographical fiction centered around park resident and former trumpet player Cody (the imposing Thomas Jefferson Byrd), who lost both his career and his family to crack cocaine addiction. Byrd leads a large ensemble that cast includes Ellen Cleghorne, Lori Petty, Miguel Nunez, and real-life rappers Bad Azz, B-Real, and Sticky Fingaz as the park`s other drug-addled citizens. The vibrant soundtrack--composed by Jane`s Addiction`s Stephen Perkins and featuring an exclusive cover of MacArthur Park by Macy Gray--adds a gritty, authentic vibe to the film`s portrayal of broken souls.R"

Monty Python`s Life of Brian (DVD)
Monty Python delivers a scathing, anarchic satire of both religion and Hollywood`s depiction of all things biblical with their second--and tightest--full-length film. The setting is the Holy Land in 33 A.D., a time of poverty and chaos, with no shortage of messiahs, followers willing to believe in them, and exasperated Romans trying to impose some order. At the center of it all is Brian Cohen (Graham Chapman), a reluctant would-be messiah who rises to prominence as a result of a series of absurd and truly hilarious circumstances that parallel the life of Christ--providing ample opportunity for the entire ensemble (John Cleese, Eric Idle, Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones, Michael Palin, and Chapman) to shine in multiple roles as they blaspheme and mock everyone and everything from ex-lepers, Pontius Pilate, and the art of haggling to crazy prophets, Roman centurions, and crucifixion.
Directed by Python Terry Jones, MONTY PYTHON`S LIFE OF BRIAN is an uproarious biblical parody that does to ancient Rome what THE HOLY GRAIL did to the Middle Ages. Rome is run by pathetic wimps, liberation fronts fight with each other over acronyms, and gladiators put on bloody children`s matinees as the people search desperately for someone to lead them out of their life of misery and poverty. And Brian is that man. Sort of. Well, not really. Chapman excels as Brian, a simple, quiet man suddenly thrust in the role of leading the revolution--while constantly being yelled at by his shrew of a mother.R"
