Sexy leading man Rupert Everett (SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE, MY BEST FRIEND'S WEDDING) heads an acclaimed all-star cast in this wonderfully witty story of decadence, romance, and scandal! Sir Robert (Jeremy Northam -- HAPPY TEXAS, MIMIC) is a highly respected politician whose spotless reputation is the pride of his beautiful wife (Cate Blanchett -- ELIZABETH) and adoring sister (Minnie Driver -- GOOD WILL HUNTING, GROSSE POINTE BLANK). But when an old acquaintance (Julianne Moore -- BOOGIE NIGHTS, THE LOST WORLD: JURASSIC PARK) threatens to reveal a dark secret from Robert's past, only his womanizing party-loving best friend Goring (Everett) is scheming and dishonest enough to come to his aid! Overwhelmingly acclaimed by critics -- you'll love this fresh, funny motion picture and its stellar ensemble as they elevate the art of blackmail to an elegant game of wit and passion!. |

Being Human

Anyone having high hopes for the artistic collaboration between Robin Williams and director Bill Forsyth (who made Local Hero, perhaps the most enjoyable film of the 1980s) probably left this movie disappointed. Forsyth is attempting nothing less than The Ages of Man, using Williams as his representative of humanity through history. Cast as a kind of Everyman, Williams plays a guy who can't seem to get his family situation straightened out to his satisfaction, whether he's trying to protect his family from Vikings in prehistoric times, being a nomad in the Middle Ages, or showing up as an unhappy divorced guy in contemporary times who's trying to reconnect with his teenage daughter. It's worth a look, if only for the opportunity to see how a big idea can go decidedly wrong and to observe what happens when a director gets a hold of an unworkable concept that he believes in completely. |

Gandhi
List Price: $29.95 Now Only: $5.75 You Save: $ 24.20 (81%)
Category: VHS Movies
Publisher: RCA/Columbia Pictures Home Video Starring: Ben Kingsley, Candice Bergen, Edward Fox, John Gielgud, Trevor Howard Directed By: Richard Attenborough Prices subject to change. Please verify pricing during checkout. |

Sir Richard Attenborough's 1982 multiple-Oscar winner (including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor for Ben Kingsley) is an engrossing, reverential look at the life of Mohandas K. Gandhi, who introduced the doctrine of nonviolent resistance to the colonized people of India and who ultimately gained the nation its independence. Kingsley is magnificent as Gandhi as he changes over the course of the three-hour film from an insignificant lawyer to an international leader and symbol. Strong on history (the historic division between India and Pakistan, still a huge problem today, can be seen in its formative stages here) as well as character and ideas, this is a fine film. --Tom Keogh. |

Mary, Queen of Scots
List Price: $14.98 Now Only: $11.99 You Save: $ 2.99 (20%)
Category: VHS Movies
Publisher: Universal Studios Starring: Vanessa Redgrave, Glenda Jackson, Patrick McGoohan, Timothy Dalton, Nigel Davenport Directed By: Charles Jarrott Prices subject to change. Please verify pricing during checkout. |

As costume dramas go, this is a passionate and feisty one, keyed by the ever-luminous Vanessa Redgrave in the title role and the sharp-edged Glenda Jackson as her jealous cousin, Queen Elizabeth I (who knew a thing or two about palace intrigue). Mary, who was raised in France as a Catholic, claims the Scottish crown from her mother upon her death. But she runs up against religious prejudice, both from the Protestant Elizabeth (who had encountered anti-Protestant bias before she took the throne) and from Mary's Protestant half-brother James Stuart (Patrick McGoohan). Elizabeth, whose own reign is shaky (given a strong Catholic presence in her country), is nervous about her Catholic cousin--and made more so by Mary's seeming inability to appreciate the political niceties of the period. |
