Why We Fight

Starring: Susan Eisenhower
Rated: PG-13 (Parental Guidance Suggested)
Studio: Sony Pictures
Release Date: 2006-06-27
Running Time: 99 minutes

Fans of Oliver Stone's J.F.K. will recognize the opening moments of writer-director Eugene Jarecki's Why We Fight, in which outgoing President Dwight Eisenhower warns of the pernicious and growing influence of what he called the "military-industrial complex." But Stone's movie, which uses the same footage, was a work of fiction. While those who disagree with the decidedly leftist poi... read more   /   Compare Prices   /   Download Movies!   /   Download TV Shows   /   Online Movie Rental   /   Audio books Online

Legally Blonde (Special Edition)

Starring: Luke Wilson
Rated: PG-13 (Parental Guidance Suggested)
Studio: MGM (Video & DVD)
Release Date: 2001-11-06
Running Time: 96 minutes

If you've ever doubted how much a star can carry a movie, look no further than Legally Blonde, Robert Luketic's pop fluff about a sorority girl who becomes the reigning brain at Harvard Law School. The film tries way too hard to be pop fluff, but thankfully it also understands the comic glories of Reese Witherspoon. As Elle Woods, the supposedly dimwitted heroine, Witherspoon gives a... read more   /   Compare Prices   /   Download Movies!   /   Download TV Shows   /   Online Movie Rental   /   Audio books Online

Broken Arrow

Starring: Jeff Chandler
Rated: NR (Not Rated)
Studio: 20th Century Fox
Release Date: 2007-05-22
Running Time: 93 minutes

Delmer Daves's movie about ex–army scout Tom Jeffords's one-man peace mission to the Apaches, and the diplomatic partnership he formed with Cochise, has a child's-storybook clarity to it. That applies to not only its lovely Technicolor compositions but also its scenario, characterizations, and still-arresting mix of violence and delicacy. Broken Arrow wasn't the first Western to express s... read more   /   Compare Prices   /   Download Movies!   /   Download TV Shows   /   Online Movie Rental   /   Audio books Online

Endgame: Blueprint for Global Enslavement

Rated: Unrated
Studio: Disinformation
Release Date: 2007-11-13
Running Time: 140 minutes

Alex Jones's new documentary, Endgame, posits several theories relating to "the dawn of a new dark age" in which a few elite businessmen are planning to erase global boundaries in order to conglomerate the governance of three disempowered populations: the E.U., the North American Union, and the Asian Union modeled after Communist China. This plan allegedly involves depopulating countries ar... read more   /   Compare Prices   /   Download Movies!   /   Download TV Shows   /   Online Movie Rental   /   Audio books Online

Lost in Translation

Starring: Bill Murray
Rated: R (Restricted)
Studio: Universal Studios
Release Date: 2004-02-03
Running Time: 102 minutes

Like a good dream, Sofia Coppola's Lost in Translation envelops you with an aura of fantastic light, moody sound, head-turning love, and a feeling of déjà vu, even though you've probably never been to this neon-fused version of Tokyo. Certainly Bob Harris has not. The 50-ish actor has signed on for big money shooting whiskey ads instead of doing something good for his career or his long-d... read more   /   Compare Prices   /   Download Movies!   /   Download TV Shows   /   Online Movie Rental   /   Audio books Online

Chocolat (Miramax Collector's Series)

Starring: Archie Van Beuren
Rated: PG-13 (Parental Guidance Suggested)
Studio: Miramax
Release Date: 2001-08-07
Running Time: 122 minutes

With movies like Chocolat, it's always best to relax your intellectual faculties and absorb the abundant sensual pleasures, be it the heart-stopping smile of chocolatier Juliette Binoche as she greets a new customer, an intoxicating cup of spiced hot cocoa, or the soothing guitar of an Irish gypsy played by Johnny Depp. Adapted by Robert Nelson Jacobs from Joanne Harris's popular novel and ... read more   /   Compare Prices   /   Download Movies!   /   Download TV Shows   /   Online Movie Rental   /   Audio books Online

Starring: Michael Caine
Rated: PG (Parental Guidance Suggested)
Directed By: Lawrence Tetenbaum
Studio: Warner Home Video
Release Date: 1997-11-19
Running Time: 129 minutes

A grandly entertaining, old-fashioned adventure based on the Rudyard Kipling short story, The Man Who Would Be King is the kind of rousing epic about which people said, even in 1975, "Wow! They don't make 'em like that anymore!" When director John Huston (The Maltese Falcon, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, The African Queen) first started trying to make the film, with... read more   /   Compare Prices   /   Download Movies!   /   Download TV Shows   /   Online Movie Rental   /   Audio books Online

Studio: 20th Century Fox
Release Date: 2000-07-25
Running Time: 120 minutes

When two Italian-American boys from New York are falsely accused of murder in a small Alabama town, they call for a lawyer--but the only lawyer they know is their cousin Vinny (Joe Pesci), who made six attempts before he passed his bar exam. My Cousin Vinny is a classic fish-out-of-water comedy; the flimsy plot about clearing the two boys and solving the murder is just a hook to support a l... read more   /   Compare Prices   /   Download Movies!   /   Download TV Shows   /   Online Movie Rental   /   Audio books Online

Val Kilmer stars as Lt. Col. John Patterson, a 19th-century Irish engineer drafted by Britain's railroad bosses to build a trestle bridge over an African river, thus expanding the empire a tiny bit more.

But morale sinks when a pair of unstoppable big cats devour more men and de... read more   /   Compare Prices   /   Download Movies!   /   Download TV Shows   /   Online Movie Rental   /   Audio books Online
