Released by: Goldhil My Advice: Rent it. When television first came out, a lot of people weren't sure what to do with it. It was kinda like radio, it was kinda like the movies, and it was kinda like the stage. But it was its own unique creature. While others went with what they’d done before, Sid Caesar and a group of talented actors and writers created something new. Your Show of Shows (later to be Caesar’s Hour) created the playbook that many shows based themselves on. Its history and impact on entertainment is detailed in Hail Sid Caesar!

Released by: Buena Vista Home Video My Advice: Rent the original. Surviving a major accident can be a bewildering experience. Especially when you live, but a loved one doesn’t. Trevor (Winters) for example, survived his car crashing and sinking into the river, but his dear wife Kirsty (Laurence) wasn’t found. He is naturally confused and emotional. His confusion is deepened when Detective Lange (Taylor) keeps asking questions about the accident since Kirsty had a big inheritance. Smacking your head against the steering wheel doesn’t help either. This could explain his memory loss (while seemingly in love with his wife, he keeps having hot, nasty, kinky sex with his boss, his neighbor, and his acupuncturist). But can it explain choking up a gigantic eel, having visions of graphic, bloody murder, and seeing a certain person in black leather with pins in his head with a highly decorated box? Is it all in Trevor’s head, are Pinhead (Bradley) and his loyal Cenobites after his soul, or is there another agenda in the works? Categorized as: DVD and Reviews

Released by: Docurama My Advice: Rent it with some Kleenex handy. Even though communism is nearly gone from Europe, its aftermath of political and economic disruption still lingers. As is usually the case, the most vulnerable group, children, suffer the most. Romanian children suffer even more since there are so many and so few resources to help them. This situation was caused when the former communist ruler, Nicolae Ceausescu, outlawed contraception and abortion supposedly to increase the workforce. As one of the poorest countries of Europe, Romania now has over 20,000 children on the streets of the city of Bucharest. Many of these children run away from badly managed orphanages and abusive families. Even worse, families who can't support another mouth to feed throw them out. So they are reduced to odd jobs, begging, or worse. Categorized as: DVD and Reviews
