Studio: Lions Gate
Release Date: 2006-11-14
Running Time: 103 minutes

Rated: PG-13 (Parental Guidance Suggested)
Studio: Paramount
Release Date: 2008-07-29
Running Time: 121 minutes

Martin Scorsese leaps into the madness of the Rolling Stones’ organization in Shine a Light, barely controlling (in a most entertaining way) a documentary that culminates in the Stones’ best concert on film. The movie’s highly entertaining, pre-performance prologue finds a frazzled Scorsese trying to get a clue about the band’s plans for a very special New York City date in 2006, a ... read more   /   Compare Prices   /   Download Movies!   /   Download TV Shows   /   Online Movie Rental   /   Audio books Online

Chisum

Starring: Forrest Tucker
Rated: G (General Audience)
Studio: Warner Home Video
Release Date: 2007-05-22
Running Time: 111 minutes

Although Chisum stars John Wayne--playing a benign variation on his Red River empire-builder --he's curiously sidelined in this umpteenth retelling of Pat Garrett, William Bonney, and the Lincoln County War. Sam Peckinpah would direct the world-class version of that götterdämmerung, Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid, three years later. This version, directed by Andrew V.
