movies are never safe from the reach of this hit series. This time,
a German-made version of Shakespeare's classic goes under the

| |
25- Oblomov In this film based on 19th century
novelist Ivan Goncharov's tragicomedy, Oblomov (Oleg Tabakov) is a
gentle, dignified aristocrat who would rather doze than compete in
the modern world. A man definitely out of time, Oblomov does make

(Elena Solovei). Oblomov is a nostalgic throwback to a Russia before
the Bolshevik Revolution made such funny and winning iconoclasts
obsolete. |

| |
30- Nosferatu: Original Version A sailor on a
ghost ship opens a coffin, and a bald, claw-fingered vampire rises

starring in their own flick! When Jay and Bob learn that their
comic-book alter egos, Bluntman and Chronic, have been sold to
Hollywood as part of a big-screen movie -- but that they're out any
royalties -- the pair travels to Tinseltown to sabotage the
production. |

hilarious conversations and do battle with drug dealers (Jay and
Silent Bob) who frequent their shop, all while they needle their
customers. This disc includes the original rough cut, with a new
commentary track. |
| |
87- Pi: Faith in Chaos This jarring
black-and-white brain-bender is a haunting examination of science --
and obsession. Written and directed by Darren Aronofsky (Requiem for
a Dream), Pi: Faith in Chaos tells the story of a haunted, fragile
mathematical genius (Sean Gullette) on the trail of a 216-digit
number hidden in Pi that could unlock the secrets of the stock
market ... and the universe. |
| |
88- Blazing Saddles: 30th Anniversary Special
Edition Politically incorrect and relentlessly funny, Mel
Brooks's take on Hollywood Westerns follows the tortured trail of
freed slave Cleavon, who's elected sheriff of the racist town of
Rock Ridge. He must foil a land-grabbing governor (Brooks) with help
from a washed-up, pot-smoking gunslinger (Gene Wilder). This special

cast-reunion documentary, additional scenes and more. |

Democrats alike, Rove has raised a new and disturbing question for

invincible, Yin sends his lover, Lady Zhao (Gong Li), to her

produced historical epic from China. |
| |
91- Mystery Science Theater 3000: Attack of the Giant
Leeches Although it's preceded by a fairly innocuous short film,
this movie on the Mystery Science Theater 3000 chopping block,
Attack of the Giant Leeches, nevertheless fails to impress hilarious
critics Joel Hodgson, Crow and Tom Servo. The movie may have been
meant to be a courageous appraisal of life in the South (by way of
allegory involving gigantic leeches), but it's cheesy drivel that
gives the witty team plenty to chew on. |
| |
92- Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Touch of
Satan Host Mike Nelson continues the cultish comedy cavalcade of
biting sarcastic humor that can only be … Mystery Science Theater
3000. This time out, Touch of Satan (a low-budget horror movie about
a witchy farm girl who sports a mean -- and sharp -- pitchfork) is
the B-grade movie schlock that will be expertly (and hilariously)
deconstructed by Nelson and his two robot buddies. |
| |
93- Mystery Science Theater 3000: Red Zone Cuba
Mike Nelson joins those riotous, lippy robots to rake yet another
cheesy movie over some very hot coals with their hilarious ad-libs.
This time, the target of their satire is a 1960s movie that riffs on
Americans' preoccupation with the red menace (and we don't mean
acne!). Watch as a small group of highly motivated gringos sneak
into Cuba to try and assassinate Fidel Castro. |
| |
94- Mystery Science Theater 3000: Santa Claus Conquers
the Martians The cheesy cult classic Santa Claus Conquers the
Martians gets the MST treatment, spliced and diced under the
watchful eyes of the ever-critical cineastes who are always at the
ready with their cutting commentary. In the film, Martian kids catch
a glimpse of Santa Claus on television and go on a rampage,
insisting that the Jolly Old Elf make an appearance. To keep the
children happy, the Martians abduct Santa and take him back to their
planet. |
| |
95- Mystery Science Theater 3000: Teenagers from Outer
Space MST 3000 host Joel Hodgson and his band of fellow cynical
movie-watchers rise up against the mean Dr. Clayton Forrester and
strike again in this vicious and hilarious critique of yet another
silly movie. This time, the not-so-expertly-made film on the line
features sulky alien teenagers, led by a boy named Derek, who
channel their wrath into morphing humans into plastic skeletons by
training chintzy-looking guns on them. |
| |
96- Wide Awake In his first Hollywood venture,
writer-director M. Night Shyamalan explores the mysteries of the
afterlife through 10-year-old Joshua (Joseph Cross). After losing
his grandfather to cancer, the boy sets out to find God -- but
quickly realizes the search won't be easy. With the support of his
family and the sports-loving Sister Terry (Rosie O'Donnell) at his
Catholic boys' school, Joshua comes to find the peace of mind he's
been looking for. |
| |
97- The Flight of the Phoenix When a C-119 cargo
plane full of oil workers crashes in Mongolia's Gobi Desert during a
sandstorm, the survivors attempt to build a new plane from the parts
they find in the wreckage. Led by downed pilot Frank Towns (Dennis
Quaid), the rag-tag group makes a desperate effort to stay alive and
return to civilization. Giovanni Ribisi, Miranda Otto and Hugh
Laurie co-star in this remake of the 1960s film that starred James
Stewart as Towns. |
| |
98- Black Adder England 1485. Set during the
really dark part of the Dark Ages, the first season of this BBC
favorite chronicles the wickedly funny misadventures of the
terminally treacherous Edmund, Duke of Edinburgh (alias The Black
Adder). At his side is the never-faithful scalawag Baldrick, played
by Tony Robinson. The Black Adder's slimy reign of terror is about
to begin in the most gripping sitcom since 1380. |
| |
99- Black Adder II Set in separate centuries for
each six-episode sequence, this droll British TV series chronicling
the exploits of the duplicitous Blackadder dynasty aired four
seasons between 1983 and 1989. In season two (spanning the years
1558-1603), the reprehensible Lord Edmund (Rowan Atkinson) --
abetted as usual by grungy manservant Baldrick (Tony Robinson) --
incessantly seeks the benevolence of batty Queen Elizabeth I
(Miranda Richardson). |
| |

Princess Ankahnten (Ava Niche) ruled Egypt with an iron fist, but

young female students who are powerless in the face of her

sex-change operation, East German glam rocker Hansel (John Cameron
Mitchell) becomes Hedwig and travels across the United States with a
stage show, following her ex-boyfriend (and former band mate) and
telling her life story. Hedwig's offbeat show slays audiences -- but
in diners not clubs. Mitchell also wrote and directed the comedy,
which won at the Sundance Film Festival and was nominated for
several Independent Spirit Awards. |

109- Shivers Director David Cronenberg's first
feature film revels in his pet theme: exposing deep-rooted fears of
our bodies and our sexuality. A scientist unleashes a sexually
transmitted parasite that destroys inhibitions in its host body.
Shivers tests nerves with its wormlike parasites (in one gruesome
sequence, they attack a woman in a bathtub). A terrifying portrait
of the id gone mad. |

| |
113- Secret NASA Transmissions: The Smoking Gun
According to expert testimony, NASA is currently covering up shuttle
camera transmissions that prove the existence of, not one, but TWO
extraterrestrial life forms. Apparently, this phenomenal,
life-changing information was presented on March 11th, 2000 to a

to be denied by NASA as a hoax. Watch the facts presented on this
video and judge for yourself. |
