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

A Crude Awakening - The Oil Crash

Rated: NR (Not Rated)
Directed By: Basil Gelpke
Studio: DOCURAMA
Release Date: 2007-07-31
Running Time: 85 minutes

While the previous eco-doc Who Killed the Electric Car? spent some time on the world's oil crisis, A Crude Awakening (formerly OilCrash) builds an entire film around the subject. Swiss journalist Basil Gelpke and Irish filmmaker Ray McCormack have constructed their narrative in a conventional manner, alternating between talking heads, archival footage, and modern-day material... 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

Ganges [Blu-ray]

Rated: NR (Not Rated)
Studio: BBC Warner
Release Date: 2008-07-01
Running Time: 150 minutes

Watching Ganges, one might be inclined to hit the pause button every now and then so as to ponder and absorb the images that have just passed by, so breathtakingly beautiful is nearly every frame of this extraordinary film. This is the kind of production that was born to be viewed in High Definition, and one that deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as the groundbreaking Planet Ea... read more   /   Compare Prices   /   Download Movies!   /   Download TV Shows   /   Online Movie Rental   /   Audio books Online

Rated: NR (Not Rated)
Studio: Plexifilm
Release Date: 2007-11-20
Running Time: 80 minutes

Helvetica is a feature-length independent film about typography, graphic design and global visual culture. It looks at the proliferation of one typeface (which will celebrate its 50th birthday in 2007) as part of a larger conversation about the way type affects our lives. The film is an exploration of urban spaces in major cities and the type that inhabits them, and a fluid discussion with renowne... read more   /   Compare Prices   /   Download Movies!   /   Download TV Shows   /   Online Movie Rental   /   Audio books Online

King Corn

Starring: Ian Cheney
Rated: NR (Not Rated)
Studio: DOCURAMA
Release Date: 2008-04-29
Running Time: 90 minutes

Picking up where Super Size Me left off, King Corn examines America's health woes through the multifaceted lens of one humble grain. Director Aaron Woolf and co-writers Ian Cheney and Curt Ellis offer irrefutable proof that the US is virtually drowning in the stuff. Corn meal, corn starch, hydrologized corn protein, and high fructose corn syrup fuel a multitude of products, from sof... read more   /   Compare Prices   /   Download Movies!   /   Download TV Shows   /   Online Movie Rental   /   Audio books Online

Footloose (Special Collector's Edition)

Starring: Lori Singer
Rated: R (Restricted)
Created By: Paul Hirsch
Studio: Paramount Pictures
Release Date: 2004-09-28
Running Time: 107 minutes

Director Herbert Ross (The Turning Point) pulled a winning movie out of this almost self-consciously archetypal tale of teenage rock rebellion. Kevin Bacon stars as a hip city kid who ends up in a Bible-belt town after his parents divorce. An ill fit for a conservative community where rock is frowned upon and dancing is forbidden, Bacon's character rallies the kids and takes on the establis... read more   /   Compare Prices   /   Download Movies!   /   Download TV Shows   /   Online Movie Rental   /   Audio books Online
