Buy A Star Is Born (DVD)

A STAR IS BORN was conceived as a comeback vehicle for Judy Garland, who gives a fascinating and heartrending performance in perhaps the finest work of her career. This film was director George Cukor's first musical and first color picture; the tale of a doomed Hollywood couple, it was a remake of the 1937 William Wellman movie with Janet Gaynor and Fredric March. Garland plays young singer Esther, who saves Norman Maine (James Mason), a famous star, from making a fool of himself onstage. Maine is an alcoholic whose career is on the wane but who manages, nonetheless, to acknowledge Esther's talent and help her jump-start a career in Hollywood. But as her star rises and his declines, Maine's misery grows. Harold Arlen and Ira Gershwin provided Garland with songs that would become standards in her concert repertoire, including The Man That Got Away, which earned an Oscar nomination for Best Song. A STAR IS BORN is also based on the earlier Cukor picture WHAT PRICE HOLLYWOOD?DVD Features:Region 1Snap CaseWidescreen - 1.85Audio: Dolby Digital 5.1 - EnglishAdditional Release Materials: Isolated Audio Track - 1.

The dobro is a little known instrument in the bluegrass family. Developed in the 1820s by a family of Czech immigrants--the word dobro is an anagram formed from their name, the Dopera brothers--it is a kind of resonating guitar that is played flat on the lap. Today it is an accepted part of many bluegrass ensembles, and the demand for dobro players is on the rise. This tutorial helps students start off on the right foot, familiarizing them with bar technique, pick technique, chimes, trills and bending strings, hammer-ons and pull-offs, rhythm chops, pacing, and much, much more.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33

RENT: Director Christopher Columbus (MRS. DOUBTFIRE, HARRY POTTER AND THE SORCERER S STONE) adapts the hit Broadway musical of the same name to the big screen in RENT. A modern spin on the opera LA BOHEME, RENT tells the story of eight friends dealing with life and love in Manhattan`s Alphabet City in 1989. Wannabe filmmaker Mark (Anthony Rapp) and singer/songwriter Roger (Adam Pascal) are facing eviction at the hands of their former roommate and current landlord, Benny (Taye Diggs). Benny has married rich, moved out of the neighborhood, and wants to build a state-of-the-art studio where the local tent city stands. Their downstairs neighbor, vivacious Mimi (Rosario Dawson), who strips at a local club to feed her heroin habit, takes a shine to Roger, a self-imposed recluse and former junkie whose last girlfriend died of AIDS. Their friend, Collins (Jesse L. Martin), returns to town and quickly falls for Angel (Wilson Jermaine Heredia), a glamorous, gracious, HIV-positive transvestite. Finally, there is the fiery Maureen (Idina Menzel), a performance artist who is planning a protest against Benny s plans and has dumped Mark for cerebral Joanne (Tracie Thoms), a lawyer.Over the course of a year, the friends face poverty, drug addiction, break-ups, reconciliations, eviction, and AIDS. Despite these challenges, they find support, hope, and acceptance in each other, all the while embracing the bohemian lifestyle that was so much a part of the Lower East Side. Newcomers Dawson and Thoms mix seamlessly with the original cast members, and Columbus introduces some interesting staging locations. With a concept, music, and lyrics by the late Jonathan Larson, RENT is an exuberant rock-&-roll musical with the underlying message that love can prevail despite all odds and that, ultimately, there really is no day but today.

During that same period, Brown trained his eye on the burgeoning sport of motocross in a stunning sequence of unreleased footage that was later assembled by his grandson Wes into three adrenaline-fueled documentaries: BAJA 1000 CLASSIC, HARE & HOUND CLASSIC, and ASCOT & HOPETOWN CLASSICS. This collection presents all three films for a historic look at the dawn of off-road motorcycle racing.
