Walter Matthau heads the cast of this television recreation of Clifford Odets' 1935 hit Broadway play, the first full-length work performed on the commercial stage by the legendary Group Theatre. This portrait of a Jewish family in a Bronx tenement perfectly captures the spirit of the Depression years, and is suffused with details of character and place that combine to be affecting even now. The Bergers, burdened by financial difficulties, have taken in a boarder - Max Axelrod (Matthau) - ...
In 1959 screenwriter Rod Serling first opened the door to the "dimension of imagination" that is The Twilight Zone, a show quite unlike anything that had gone before, and better than much that has followed in its wake. This original and daring television series ran for a magnificent five seasons from 1959 to 1964 and still looks as fresh as ever, particularly on DVD. What distinguished the series (and still does) is the quality of the scripts, many of which were penned by Serling, but with significant contributions from veteran sci-fi authors and screenwriters such as Richard Matheson. Actors of the calibre of Robert Redford, Burgess Meredith, Lee Marvin and William Shatner gave some of their best small-screen performances, while an unforgettable main title theme by Bernard Herrmann and musical contributions from young turks such as Jerry Goldsmith underlined the show's attraction for great creative talent both behind and in front of the cameras. --Mark Walker

An outstanding release!!!!!! ""She"" - a unique event on the worldwide scale!!!! This fantastic release is a must have for all fans of the best quality progressive/rock music!!!! Caamora represents the partnership of Clive Nolan (Pendragon Arena) and Agnieszka Swita in a lavish and creative collaboration. The musical version of 'She' is based on the classic novel of the same name by Victorian adventure writer H. Rider Haggard. Clive first encountered this story 25 years ago when he saw a film version at the cinema as a child. It has always been his intention to set this story to music but it was not until he met Agnieszka that it did seem to be the right time. With Agnieszka's encouragement Clive decided to begin this epic composition. Over the following months Clive furiously set to writing material and Agnieszka traveled regularly from Poland to England to record demos. Gradually the material piled up until they had over two hours of songs and music. The culmination of the last two year's work with Caamora took place on 31st October 2007 at the Wyspianski Theatre Katowice Poland. Spearheaded by Clive Nolan and Agnieszka Swita this epic production featured also guest musicians: Alan Reed (Pallas/Neo) & Christina Booth (Magenta) on vocals bassist John Jowitt (IQ Neo) Mark Westwood (Neo) & Martin Bowen on the guitars Richard West (Threshold) & Steve Williams on the keyboards as also Scott Higham on the drums. The musical landscape of 'She' is wide and varied: from the close intimate sounds of voice and piano through to the exhilaration and power of orchestra and choir the music is intense and colourful. Clive Nolan: ""For me the blending of orchestra and rock band was one of the biggest challenges. I did not want these to be two separate entities stuck together (as is often the case with 'band and orchestra' albums) but one enormous blended sound."" Stylistically ""She"" has elements of heavy rock and moments of pure opera - sometimes simple sometimes complex; this is a rock opera that will stand the test of time. Tracklist: Act 1: Overture Scene 1: The Storm The Veil Covenant of Faith Rescue. Scene 2: The Cave The Bonding. Scene 3: Judgment History. Scene 4: Confrontation Vigil. Scene 5: Shadowsa Act 2 - Scene 1: Fire Dance. Scene 2: Cursed Closer Disbelief Murder Eleventh Hour 03. As Long As We Are One

Hellboy (2004): In the final days of World War II the Nazis attempt to use black magic to aid their dying cause. The Allies raid the camp where an occult ceremony is taking place but not before a demon Hellboy has already been conjured. Joining the Allied forces Hellboy eventually grows to adulthood under the supervision of his adopted 'father' Trevor Bruttenholm serving the cause of good rather than evil. When the powerful and evil Nazi figure who unleashed Hellboy suddenly reappears in modern times he discovers that Hellboy is now working as a paranormal investigator at a secret U.S. government agency dedicated to protecting humanity from the forces of darkness. Now Hellboy must fight to solve the riddle of his own existence and prevent the destruction of mankind... Dark Horse Comics' popular cult superhero Hellboy makes the leap from the comic book pages to the big screen with Ron Perlman the only actor considered charismatic enough to convey the blood-red demon anti-hero cutting a cigar-chomping dash in the title role as Hellboy assisted by prosthetics from 6-time Oscar winning makeup artist Rick Baker. Hulk (2003): Scientist Bruce Banner (Eric Bana) has to put it mildly anger management issues. His quiet life as a brilliant researcher working with cutting edge genetic technology conceals a nearly forgotten and painful past. His ex-girlfriend and equally brilliant fellow researcher Betty Ross (Jennifer Connelly) has tired of Bruce's cordoned off emotional terrain and resigns herself to remaining an interested onlooker to his quiet life. Which is exactly where Betty finds herself during one of the early trials in Banner's groundbreaking research. A simple oversight leads to an explosive situation and Bruce makes a split-second decision; his heroic impulse saves a life and leaves him apparently unscathed-his body absorbing a normally deadly dose of gamma radiation. Acclaimed Oscar-winning filmmaker Ang Lee turns his masterful eye to adapting the classic Marvel Comics character for the big screen. Setting out to faithfully transfer the Hulk comic book character from four-color paneled page to motion picture screen Lee combines all the elements of a blockbuster visual effects-intensive superhero movie with the brooding romance and tragedy of Universal's classic horror films. Staying true to the early subversive spirit of the Hulk as envisioned by its creators (Stan Lee and Jack Kirby) while also tuning the tale to current dangerous times Lee presents a portrait of a man at war with himself and the world both a superhero and a monster a means of wish fulfillment and a nightmare...
