The Lost Continent (DVD)
Cesar Romero (the Joker from TV`s BATMAN) and Hugh Beaumont (best known as Ward Cleaver on LEAVE IT TO BEAVER) star in this very dated fantasy/adventure film as Major Joe Nolan and Robert Phillips, respectively. Major Nolan is the leader of an expedition to find a rocket that crashed on a remote island. Once at the island, the crew discovers the rocket is on top of a mountain, which they climb and find a prehistoric land populated by dinosaurs. A jaunty, entertaining film that features some quaint dialogue and special effects, THE LOST CONTINENT is nonetheless still a genuinely enjoyable movie.NR"

The Who - The Kids Are Alright (DVD) Deluxe Version A dazzling visual diary of legendary performances, THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT chronicles the development of the Who from angry young mod upstarts to worldwide arena rock icons. Director Jeff Stein (who was just 21 at the time)...
A dazzling visual diary of legendary performances, THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT chronicles the development of the Who from angry young mod upstarts to worldwide arena rock icons. Director Jeff Stein (who was just 21 at the time) was given unlimited access to archives of the Who, occasionally butting heads with famously strong-willed guitarist/songwriter Pete Townsend over the direction of the film. It begins with the band`s famed guitar-smashing, 1967 American TV debut on The Smothers Brothers show and continues through Monterey Pop, Woodstock, and on into the 1970s as the band cements its legend status in the rock canon with such complex works as QUADROPHENIA. Twenty-two classic Who tunes are featured, including a special version of the title track, My Generation, Magic Bus, Happy Jack, and Long Live Rock. Manic drummer Keith Moon, who provides numerous laughs in the film, died a year before the film was released.

Ivan the Terrible - Pt. 2 (VHS)
In the second part of Sergei Eisenstein`s grand film, a grieving Ivan (Nikolai Cherkassov) withdraws from Moscow to his estate at Uglich after the death of the empress, less trustful than ever of those who surround him. His solitude is augmented by the defection of his military chief, Prince Kurbsky (Mikahil Nazvanov), to Poland. But when the people of Moscow make a mass pilgrimage to petition for his return to Moscow, he realizes that he has an opportunity to increase his power while diminishing that of the boyars. After his former friend Philip the Monk (Andrei Abrikosov) betrays his friendship by siding with the boyars, Ivan unleashes the Oprichniki, a secret police network that he has developed to gather information about his enemies and, when necessary, eliminate them. Under the directon of Ivan`s aunt Euphrosyne (Serafima Birman), the boyars hatch a plot to assassinate the czar and put Euphrosyne`s mentally defective son, Vladimir (Pavel Kadochnikov), on the throne. But after Ivan deftly eludes death, all of his opponents, including the boyars, the aristocracy, and the Polish army, unite to attempt a final assault on his rule. The visual splendor of Part 2 is enhanced by two scenes featuring Eisenstein`s first experiments with color, an element for which he developed an elaborate thematic scheme.NR"
