Hans Christian Andersen

Starring: Farley Granger
Rated: NR (Not Rated)
Studio: MGM (Video & DVD)
Release Date: 2001-03-06
Running Time: 112 minutes

Of all the Danny Kaye movies, this musical biography of the legendary vagabond storyteller is definitely the most poignant, extending the performer's range far beyond his usual comic shtick. It may not be as funny as Wonder Man, but it has so much more going for it. In fact, the film is really more about Kaye than Andersen, providing rare insight into his humanitarian ideals and rapport wit... read more   /   Compare Prices   /   Download Movies!   /   Download TV Shows   /   Online Movie Rental   /   Audio books Online

Studio: Magnolia Pictures
Release Date: 2008-12-09
Running Time: 94 minutes

Native New Yorkers know to expect the unexpected, but who among them could've predicted that a man would stroll between the towers of the World Trade Center? French high-wire walker Philippe Petit did just that on August 7th, 1974. Petit’s success may come as a foregone conclusion, but British filmmaker James Marsh’s pulse-pounding documentary still plays more like a thriller than a non-fictio... read more   /   Compare Prices   /   Download Movies!   /   Download TV Shows   /   Online Movie Rental   /   Audio books Online

Cocaine Cowboys

Starring: Al Sunshine
Rated: R (Restricted)
Studio: Magnolia
Release Date: 2007-01-23
Running Time: 118 minutes

More of a real-life exploitation film than a bonafide documentary, Cocaine Cowboys is tailor-made for anyone who worships Brian De Palma's Scarface. It's no surprise that this slick, energetic film found a niche audience among crime-obsessed hip-hoppers; from a journalistic perspective it's an irresponsible mess, but director Billy Corben is obviously more interested in capturing the... read more   /   Compare Prices   /   Download Movies!   /   Download TV Shows   /   Online Movie Rental   /   Audio books Online

Step into Liquid

Starring: Ken Collins
Rated: PG (Parental Guidance Suggested)
Studio: Lions Gate
Release Date: 2004-04-20
Running Time: 87 minutes

Thanks to Dana Brown's delightful Step Into Liquid, the surfing scene in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, should get a healthy boost. That's because Brown, in the tradition of his father, filmmaker Bruce Brown (The Endless Summer), has captured dazzling images of surfers riding curls in some of the world's most exotic--and sometimes unlikely--places. Besides the action on Lake Michigan, Brown l... read more   /   Compare Prices   /   Download Movies!   /   Download TV Shows   /   Online Movie Rental   /   Audio books Online
