The irrepressible Eric Idle (Monty Python’s Flying Circus) teams up with the English National Opera in this hilarious performance of Gilbert and Sullivan’s beloved comic opera, THE MIKADO.

Here the rule of the Mikado is absolute--and often prone to whimsy. Ko-Ko (Eric Idle) is sentenced to death for the crime of flirting, but in a strange turn of events is instead named "Lord High Executioner." A delightful farce ensues as Ko-Ko can’t behead anyone without first cutting off his own head. But by the second act, the Mikado demands an execution and Ko-Ko must delicately sing and dance his way around a messy situation involving the Mikado’s son and his secret love Yum Yum.

Summary:  Tells the story of Haitian national hero, journalist, and freedom fighter Jean Dominique, whom Demme first met and filmed in 1986. As owner and operator of his nation’s oldest and only free radio station, Dominique was frequently at odds with his country’s various repressive governments and spent much of the 80’s and early 90’s in exile in New York, where Demme continued to interview him over the years. Dominique fought tirelessly against his country’s overwhelming injustice, oppression, and poverty, but it was his shocking and still-unsolved assassination in April of 2000 that gave the director the impetus to assemble more than a decade’s worth of material into a celebration of this dynamic man’s life and legacy.

Summary:  Videodisc release of the 2006 motion picture. Based on the idea by Guillermo Arriaga and Alejandro Gonzâalez Iänâarritu. A wealthy American is touring Morocco with his wife. The two become the focus of an international incident also involving a poor Moroccan farmer who is struggling to keep his two young sons in line and his family together. A San Diego nanny, with her employers absent, makes the disastrous decision to take her charges with her to a wedding in Mexico. A deaf-mute Japanese teen tries to deal with a relationship with her father and the world in general that has been upended by the death of her mother. It’s about a gun. It’s about communication - or the lack of it - both intercultural and intracultural. Raises issues like terrorism and immigration, and is as basic as husbands talking to their wives and parents understanding their children. DVD, region 1, widescreen (16:9) presentation; Dolby Digital. Closed-captioned. Dialogue in English with optional soundtrack in French, and with optional subtitles in English or Spanish.

Summary:  Supplemented by interviews with academic scholars, this show examines the history of ritual killing in ancient cultures. Examines the meaning of human sacrifice in the Bible, speculating that it was demanded of Abraham as a means of ending the pagan practice that was so popular among the Canaanites and other groups surrounding the Israelites as offerings to the god Baal. In western and northern Europe "bog people," buried bodies two thousand years old, were found in the swampy earth of the Danish peatbog, and more were found from Ireland to Germany; this ritual was practiced from 500 B.C. to the time of the birth of Jesus. Looks at the Aztecs of Mexico as they were discovered by the Spanish conquistadors, who reported that the Aztecs sacrificed thousands of people in a single day. In India, Hinduism's ancient texts speak of demands for human sacrifice and in colonial days the British claimed to have discovered a cult who sacrificed to the goddess K¯al¯i, but there is little evidence that this is historically accurate. Examines Carthage, a culture contemporary with the Roman empire. Carthagians were decendents of the Canaanites and they also worshipped Baal, but their worship was far bloodier and involved the sacrifice of thousands of children between the fourth and second century B.C.

Because of the job, the two are forced to spend many hours together alone in the wild.

Summary:  Title from menu. "The Bush administration marketed and sold the war in Iraq to the American people. How and why did the press buy it, and what does that say about the role of journalists in helping the public sort out fact from propaganda? In this program, veteran journalist Bill Moyers, award-winning producer Kathleen Hughes, and their investigative team piece together the reporting and political spin that shaped the public mind prior to, during, and following the 2003 invasion. Exposing the disappearance of a watchdog mentality in mainstream newspaper and TV journalism, the documentary also highlights the work of intrepid Knight Ridder reporters who dug beneath the surface of administration claims, only to be drowned out by the drums of war. Further insight comes from journalists Dan Rather, former anchor of CBS evening news; Tim Russert of NBC’s Meet the press; Bob Simon of 60 minutes; and Walter Isaacson, former chairman of CNN"--Container.

Summary:  Based on the book by Gerald Clarke. Special features: two audio commentary soundtracks, one with Philip Seymour Hoffman and director Bennett Miller and one with director Bennett Miller and cinematographer Adam Kimmel; two making-of featurettes; Answered prayers, a documentary on Truman Capote. In 1959, Truman Capote was a popular writer for The New Yorker. He learns about the horrific and senseless murder of a family of four in Holcomb, Kansas. Inspired by the story, Capote and his partner, Harper Lee, travel to the town to do research for an article. However, as Capote digs deeper into the story, he is inspired to expand the project into what would be his greatest work, "In Cold Blood." He arranges extensive interviews with the convicted killers, especially with Perry Smith. However, his feelings of compassion for Perry conflicts with his need for closure for his book which only an execution can provide.

Special features: Deleted scenes; extended scene: "Haruma - play in Kibera"; "Embracing Africa:" filming in Kenya; John Le Carre: from page to the screen; "Anatomy of a global thriller:" behind the scenes of ’The constant gardener." In a remote area of Northern Kenya, activist Tessa Quayle is found brutally murdered. Tessa’s companion, a doctor, appears to have fled the scene, and all the evidence points to a crime of passion. Members of the British High Commission in Nairobi assume that Tessa’s widower, their mild-mannered and unambitious colleague Justin Quayle, will leave the matter to them. Haunted by remorse and jarred by rumors of his late wife’s infidelities, Quayle surprises everyone by embarking on a personal odyssey that will take him across three continents. Using his privileged access to diplomatic secrets, Justin risks his own life and will stop at nothing to expose the truth - a conspiracy more far-reaching and deadly than Quayle could ever have imagined.
