Ira Levin's scary novel about forced conformity in a small Connecticut town made the Stepford Wives a compelling 1975 thriller. Katharine Ross stars as a city woman who moves with her husband to Stepford and is startled by how perpetually happy many of the local women seem to be. Her search for an answer reveals a plot to replace troublesome real wives with more accommodating fake ones (not unlike the alien takeover in The Invasion of the Body Snatchers). The closer she gets to the truth, the more danger she faces--not to mention the likelihood that the men in town intend to replace her as well. Screenwriter William Goldman (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid) and director Bryan Forbes (King Rat) made this a taut, tense semi-classic with a healthy dose of satiric wit. --Tom Keogh, Amazon.com

Shot on the streets of Kingston and set to a rich reggae score by Sly and Robbie, the highest grossing film in Jamaican cinema (according to the producers) is a simple cops-and-gangsters thriller that drops the usual two-fisted cop clichés into the slums of a developing nation. Charismatic Paul Campbell (who starred in the previous Jamaican hit Dancehall Queen) is Capone, a Jamaican Dirty Harry who wades into shoot-outs with both guns blazing. His maverick reputation lands him in Kingston, his hometown, where he tracks a gun-smuggling scheme to his boyhood friend Ratty (Mark Danvers), now the ambitious right-hand man to the local kingpin. It's a familiar story and the timid script always chooses action over drama. Capone's violent methods are never questioned, even when he's faced with old friends instead of faceless hoods, and he is given unimaginable leeway to shoot his way through the criminal population. Shot on digital video and released to theatres in a smeary-looking transfer, the video release is mastered from the digital source and looks infinitely better than its theatrical incarnation: crisp, bright and vivid. The energetic style helps the picture overcome some of its generic cop-movie clichés, but the real draw is the street grit of clapboard houses, corrugated metal fences and concrete brick homes: the matter-of-fact poverty of Kingston's slums. --Sean Axmaker

Todd Phillips 2000): When you are in a committed relationship and have sex with another person: i) It's not cheating if you're in different area codes; ii) It's not cheating if you're too wasted to remember it because if you can't remember it it never really took place; iii) It's not cheating if you're with two people at the same time because they cancel each other out...

Experience Hendrix presents unforgettable highlights from two star-studded tribute concerts to Jimi Hendrix hailed by critics and fans alike as the greatest guitarist of all time. Filmed in San Diego and at the Paramount Theatre in Hendrix's hometown of Seattle these special never-before-released performances feature legendary blues giants Buddy Guy and Hubert Sumlin coming together with Paul Rodgers former Rolling Stones lead guitarist Mick Taylor and the newest generation of guitar heroes including Kenny Wayne Shepherd Robert Randolph Pearl Jam's Mike McCready Kid Rock's Kenny Olson and Vernon Reid to celebrate Jimi's legacy. Joining forces with these great artists are Mitch Mitchell and Billy Cox from the Jimi Hendrix Experience as well as Chris Layton and Tommy Shannon from Double Trouble the powerful rhythm section who served the late Stevie Ray Vaughan. In his brief four-year reign as a superstar Jimi Hendrix expanded the vocabulary of the electric rock guitar more than anyone before or since. Hendrix was a master at coaxing all manner of unforeseen sonics from his instrument often with innovative amplification experiments that produced astral-quality feedback and roaring distortion. His frequent hurricane blasts of noise and dazzling showmanship - he could and would play behind his back and with his teeth and set his guitar on fire - has sometimes obscured his considerable gifts as a songwriter singer and master of a gamut of blues R&B and rock styles. Tracklist: 1. Kenny Wayne Shepherd & Double Trouble - Come On Voodoo Chile and I Don't Live Today 2. Indigenous - Hear My Train A-Comin' 3. Living Colour - Power of Soul and Crosstown Traffic 4. Eric Gales - Purple Haze 5. Hubert Samlin Jimmy D.Lane & Double Trouble - Bleeding Heart and Killing Floor 6. Mitch Mitchell Billy Cox & Andy Aledort - Freedom 7. Paul Rodgers Mitch Mitchell Billy Cox Andy Aledort & Kenny Olson - Stone Free 8. Buddy Guy Andy Aledort & Double Trouble - Hoochie Koochie Man 9. Buddy Guy Hubert Sumlin Andy Aledort & Double Trouble - Five Long Years 10. The Ensemble - Voodoo Child 11. Robert Randolph & Double Trouble - Purple Haze 12. Mick Taylor & Indigenous - Red House 13. Eric Gales Billy Cox & Buddy Miles - Foxey Lady
