G. F. Handel - Messiah (DVD)
In this performance, shot in Westminster Abbey in London, Handel`s MESSIAH is lovingly rendered. The cameras beautifully capture the choir of Westminster Abbey and the various musicians who bring the piece to life, while the incredibly beautiful and architecturally distinctive setting is also given plenty of screen time.

Marlon Brando stars as the scientist in the third adaptation of the H.G. Wells classic. The archetypal mad scientist, the good doctor has been conducting a number of experiments in his remote island kingdom, producing a race of genetic mutants both man and beast in his quest to produce a superior creature. The mutants treat Moreau as a virtual god, carrying out his orders with blind obedience. To deal with the few rebels, the scientist has embedded electrodes under their skin through which he can induce a degree of pain sufficient for his purpose. A plane crash-lands on the island, and the only survivor, U.N. negotiator Edward Douglas (David Thewlis), is taken to Moreau's compound by the doctor's demented assistant, Montgomery (Val Kilmer), where he's soon imprisoned. Shocked by Moreau's experiments, Douglas desperately seeks escape but is badly outnumbered by the army of mutants. At length, the creatures discover how to remove the controlling devices from their bodies and attempt a rebellion, but it soon becomes clear that their collective intelligence was not increased by their physical transformation. This film became an instant camp classic, the result of a troubled production on which John Frankenheimer replaced the original director after only a day of shooting. The fine camerawork of veteran William Fraker stands out above all else.DVD Features:Region 1 EncodingKeep CaseAnamorphic Widescreen - 2.35Full Frame - 1.33Special Director's CutStar HighlightsInterviesTheatrical TrailersBiographies/Filmographies

Gail Davis stars as Annie Oakley in this fourth volume of episodes from the popular 1950s TV show set in the ominously named town of Diablo. Annie`s adventures find her thwarting criminals as she gallops around on her faithful horse, often with Deputy Sheriff Lofty Craig (Brad Johnson), at her side. The four episodes included here offer fictionalized tales of the Old West, with Davis playing a character based on the real Annie Oakley, a sharpshooter in the late-1800s who was the inspiration for the noted musical ANNIE GET YOUR GUN.
