This uproarious parody takes children`s TV conventions and spins them on their head. Although the budget is low, the laughs come thick and fast as a talented cast sets out to lampoon some of the customs that we`ve come to accept as standard in children`s television.
Numb3rs (Numbers)- The Complete Second Season (DVD)
Like a cross between CSI: CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION and Darren Aronofsky's indie feature PI, the CBS television series NUMB3RS blends crime-drama with mathematics for a smart and creepy spin on the police-detective genre. Executive produced by Ridley Scott (ALIEN) and Tony Scott (TRUE ROMANCE), the series centers on a pragmatically minded FBI agent, Don Eppes (NORTHERN EXPOSURE's Rob Morrow), who invites his math-genius younger brother, Charlie (David Krumholz), to help him solve challenging cases using mathematical theories based on equations and probability. Dark and moody with a near-cinematic feel, NUMB3RS has won both fans and acclaim for its innovative approach to the conventional crime-drama formula. This collection presents all 24 episodes from the series' second season, which includes guest appearances by Mary Kay Place, Graham Greene, Lou Diamond Phillips, and Colin Hanks.

The Kinks - EP (DVD)
The esteemed career of Rock'N Roll Hall of Fame inductees the Kinks has spanned decades. From their raucous beginnings in the early 1960s to their arena tours in the 1980s, they've continually dented the charts with Ray Davies' wry, sometimes angry, and often distinctly British musical observations. The Kinks are captured live on this special edition DVD EP, which contains 4 tracks recorded in the late 1960s-early 1970s for German television: Mr. Pleasant (1967), Plastic Man (1969), Waterloo Sunset (1967), and Muswell Hillbilly (1972).

Visual Worlds
As many observers have noted, the world is becoming increasingly visually mediated, with the rise of computers and the internet being central factors in the emergence of new tools and conventions. Exploring the social structure of visuality, this volume contains a collection of essays by internationally renowned artists and scholars from a variety of fields (including art history, literary theory and criticism, cultural studies, film and television studies, intellectual history and sociology). It was conceived to address a bold query: how is our experience and understanding of vision and visual form changing under pressure from the various social, economic and cultural factors that are linked under the term globalization.
The essays overlap in their considerations of the tensions between cultures and worlds, political life, everyday social experience, and war. The resulting conversation that develops between the chapters touches on points from many visual worlds, and provides a...

Dune - Extended Version (DVD)
The story behind the adaptation of Frank Herbert`s massive, seminal science fiction novel DUNE is a well-known one, spanning 20 years and involving directors as diverse as Alejandro Jodorowsky and Ridley Scott, before the job fell to David Lynch. DUNE tells a story set far in the future, in the year 10191, where factions war over control of the substance named spice. The clan Atreides currently produces the spice, found on the planet Arrakis, but they are plotted against by the Harkonnens. After a stunning betrayal, it is revealed that Paul Atreides, heir to the clan, is actually the prophesized savior of the Fremen, who are native people of Arrakis. DUNE is famously an enormous, expensive production that was critically lambasted and ended up a financial flop. In part to recoup their losses, Universal Studio edited a longer edition of the film to be shown on television, but director Lynch disavowed this version. But in subsequent years the film has been reappraised and reappreciated, and...
