Though Robert Johnson passed away in 1938, his legacy lives on to this day. In this easy-to-follow guide, acclaimed vocalist and guitar player Rory Block breaks down Johnson`s legendary style into several elements, allowing viewers to tackle individual topics one at a time. While Johnson`s highly-original style cannot be copied exactly, beginner and intermediate guitar players will surely benefit from mastering the bass lines, turnarounds, runs, strums, and licks that ended up creating his Mississippi Delta sound.

Stephan Elliott (EYE OF THE BEHOLDER) wrote and directed this tale of two drag queens and a transsexual that embark on a road trip to a remote resort town in the Australian desert on a bus christened Priscilla. When Anthony Tick/Mitzi (Hugo Weaving) is invited to perform in Alice Springs, he recruits flamboyant young stud Adam/Felicia (Guy Pearce) and the legendary, refined Bernadette (Terence Stamp) to join him. Mitzi, however, fails to disclose one important fact to his friends: his wife is the one who invited them to Alice Springs. With one big secret about to be revealed and another one up his sleeve, Mitzi is a little stressed.With long hours on the road ahead of them, the trio lip-synchs campy songs on the bus, creates fabulous costumes, and meets a multitude of colorful characters along the way. They party with friendly aborigines, are confronted by judgmental townspeople who are averse to drag queens, and meet Bob (Bill Hunter), a warmhearted mechanic and drag fan who joins them for the last leg of their trip when their bus breaks down in the middle of nowhere. Fantastic costumes and fabulous makeup abound, and fine performances are delivered all around. But perhaps most important are the implicit messages that families come in all forms, that friends can make a family, and that love really knows no boundaries.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Text/Photo Gallery: Biographies

After three years without a studio release, quirky Icelandic songstress Bjork reappeared in full force with 2004's MEDULLA, an album built exclusively around vocal tracks. Continuing on her lifelong trajectory of experimentation, the album is one of her most challenging to date, belying the simplicity of all-vocal source material with the layered complexity and production of the album. Emotional, intimate, and almost physically affecting in its sensuality, the record incorporated the talents of many contributors. INNER PART OF AN ANIMAL PLANT STRUCTURE - THE MAKING OF MEDULLA allows viewers a glimpse of the process that was so vital to the fulmination of this masterpiece. The behind-the-scenes documentary features appearances by Mike Patton (Faith No More, Mr. Bungle), as well as the world's greatest human beatboxers, Rahzel (The Roots) and Dokaka, an Inuit throat singer, and an Icelandic choir, among many others. The film follows Bjork over the course of a year, visiting her in the studio, at home in both Iceland and New York City, and elsewhere, providing an insightful and intimate look not just at the making of an album, but the life of a true artistic visionary.DVD Features:Region 0Snap CaseFull Frame - 1.33
