Boogiepop Phantom Vol. 3 (DVD)
An ambitious series that bears a striking resemblance to LAIN, BOOGIEPOP PHANTOM is no less fascinating, and certainly, in many ways, takes that series` concept to another level. Taking place in a bizarre alternate universe, Boogiepop is a shady organization that protects the world from supernatural menace that materializes in the form of a young girl clad in a yin-yang cloak. The series begins with the disappearance of some high school students, the discovery of a young man who sees people`s regrets as spiders and can eat them, and the appearance of a detective who tries to tie the strands of these mysteries together. Contains three episodes.NR"

Barbie Nation: An Unauthorized Tour (DVD)
This affectionately sardonic documentary by director Susan Stern delves into the cult of Barbie (along with Ken, Skipper, and the rest of the doll gang). For decades, Barbie has provided little girls with an always available play companion, a way to try out different adult identities like becoming a doctor and mother, and for both better and worse, a role model. Here, Stern looks for the reason behind Barbie`s influence and the way in which she affects women`s body image, visits Barbie conventions filled with adult Barbie fans, and meets the doll`s original creator, Ruth Handler.NR"

Un Ballo in Maschera - Metropolitan Opera (DVD)
Verdi`s tragic opera UN BALLO IN MASCHERA is a favorite of opera-lovers everywhere. Here the lead role of Ricardo is played by one of the most renowned tenors in the world -- Luciano Pavarotti. This video captures the critically lauded 1980 performance which was, significantly, his first at the internationally famous venue. Director Elijah Moshinsky -- also making his Met debut -- has reset the classic story into Revolutionary War era Boston, a move that turned out to give new resonance and importance to the timeless story.NR"
