Rurouni Kenshin Vol. 13 - Innocence and Experience (DVD)
In these episodes, Kenshin faces his final and greatest obstacle to the evil Shishio, the boys assassin named Sojiro. Found alongside the bodies of his murdered family brandishing a bloodied sword, Sojiro is a born killer who is stronger and faster than Kenshin. Immune to Kenshin`s Hiten Mitsurugi style, Sojiro, now known as the Tenken, is, to say the least, a formidable opponent, and one that Kenshin will need to draw upon all his experience in order to defeat. Contains episodes 53-57.NR"
Lantana (DVD)
Ray Lawrence`s LANTANA is an intelligent, well-written, well-acted film that is much more than just another cop thriller--it`s more like YOU CAN COUNT ON ME with its realistic, complex relationships and believable characters. The film opens with a slow pan over a dead body, eerily reminiscent of BLUE VELVET. Anthony LaPaglia stars as Leon, a Sydney police detective who is cheating on his wife, Sonja (Kerry Armstrong), with a married woman from their dance class (Rachael Blake), even though he still loves his wife. There`s something missing from his life, but he`s not sure what. His relationship with his son is strained, and even his partner, Claudia (Leah Purcell), knows something is wrong. But as his affair heats up and a murder mystery that seems to involve all of the people in his life begins to consume his attentions, he is forced to reexamine his future both as a family man and a cop.
LANTANA won seven Australian Film Institute Awards, including best picture, best director for Lawrence, best actor for LaPaglia, best actress for Armstrong, best supporting awards for both Blake and Colosimo, and best adapted screenplay by Andrew Bovell, who based the script on his play SPEAKING IN TONGUES. As the murder investigation gets more complicated and the tangled web leads to even more lying, cheating, and deception, the acting intensifies, and the sharp dialogue allows the characters to blossom as beautifully as the lantana bush referred to in the title.R"

Scooby-Doo Meets the Harlem Globetrotters (DVD)
One of the most ambitious SCOOBY-DOO entries combined colonial America and 1970s basketball into one spooky mystery.

Here, they run into ghosts of Paul Revere and other Revolutionary War figures. Three episodes in all are included with the Globetrotters, who contrary to the memory of many children of the 1970s are not actually involved with the production. The Globetrotter voices are provided by actors such as Robert DoQui, Stu Gilliam, and Scatman Crothers, who had worked on many other Hanna-Barbera animation projects.NR"
