A mysterious, pilotless plane carries scientist Rex Reason to a colony of America's best and brightest minds. They've been kidnapped by a dying alien race, the Metalunians, to repair their defense shield before their enemies destroy their world completely, toiling under their spying eyes and futuristic security cameras (two-way TVs that dominate every room). Jeff Morrow, under a raised forehead, bronze tan, and snow-white hair, philosophizes as Exeter, the thoughtful Metalunian torn between his duty and his morals as he forces the plucky humans to labor in his race's defense. The moody mystery of the first half turns to pure pulp adventure when the humans are transported across the galaxy to the battle-scarred world of Metaluna, under the threatening watch of a monstrous bug-eyed monster with a giant brain for a head and massive claws for hands. There's a genuine sense of wonder to Joseph Newman's intergalactic adventure, one of the most ambitious science fiction films of the 1950s. The story is simple space opera, but the futuristic designs of glass and metal, the marvelous alien makeup, and grandstanding special effects invest the film with a Technicolor splendor. Faith Domergue co-stars as a nuclear physicist and Gilligan's Island's Russell Johnson makes his first professorial appearance as a scientist. Science fiction auteur Jack Arnold was an unbilled codirector. --Sean Axmaker Minimize

The story is adapted from the extremely successful work of the same title by the renowned Japanese writer Junichi Watanabe published in February 1997, sold 2.6 million copies. What's more, "Paradise Lost" (in Japanese) has become a popular buzzword ever after in the Japanese society. The detailed analysis of the love life (or need) of the middle-aged is one of the reasons for the success, another one should be the extensive description of Sholchiro Kuki and Rinko Matsubaro's extremely explicit sexual intercourse. Sex sells well. Seeing the success of the book and the movie, the TV station has adapted the story into a series. When most of life's duties have been fulfilled: career has become stable, children have grown up and are independent, the mortgage is nearing its finishing line, the car has been changed to be better and more powerful and, the marriage has also gone "stable", what should one need more? The 50-year-old Kuki, a publishing veteran editor is now trapped in such a maze. Rinko is also stuck in this dilemma. She married a prestigious medical doctor because of his money. Sexually, she is not satisfied because her husband loves SM. Japan is a conservative and suppressing society. Individual ideas may not be able to survive for long. Just a few days ago, commoner-turned-Princess Owada Masako finally could not keep silent to express that the pressure of the palace suffocates her. And the society stifles many Japanese men: they fight, compete and study hard to enter reputed kindergarten, primary school, high school and university, then a good job and keep climbing the ladder of the company. Arranged marriage is always common. Every thing must be done according to their parents' planning. Kuki expressed his pain once that he is always a good boy, a good student, a good boss, a good daddy and a good hubby, now he wants something for himself. When two down and lonely hearts "collide" together, lethal sparks of emotion explode frantically. Minimize

This reissue of the second release in a series of DVD anthologies of short films, like its fellow Short titles, is loosely organized around a common theme--in this case, the terrain of the subconscious. The big fish here is Chris Marker's 1962 classic, La Jetée, the forever- haunting, post-apocalyptic story of a man's descent into a time-tripping dream state, where his origins and destiny fold together in one fleeting moment at an airport. If that scenario sounds somewhat similar to a certain Terry Gilliam feature (oh, OK, it's 12 Monkeys), you're right, and Gilliam can be heard on an alternate soundtrack here talking about the challenge and fun of being "inspired by" Marker's film. (Yet another alternate soundtrack features commentary by 12 Monkeys screenwriters David and Janet Peoples.) Not surprisingly, La Jetée turns out to be a hard act to follow, and there's not much on Short 2 that even comes close to its league. Alison De Vere's 1974 animated piece, Café Bar, about a blind date at a coffee house, is more intriguing for its historical value as a "brushsticks style" of crafting images than as a work of art. Joachim Solum and Thomas Lien's watery Depth Solitude is an effectively blunt and bizarre--but ultimately obvious--fable about a pool cleaner who lives in his deep-sea-diving suit at the bottom of a public swimming facility. The best thing going for it is an English-language narration by Max Von Sydow, who unfortunately is not involved with Carmen Elly's A Guy Walks into a Bar. This competent but wearying film, about a college-bound young man (Fred Savage) who meets up with a sexy hitchhiker (Allison Moir) and finds his world changed, does not inspire thoughts of a second viewing. On the plus side, there's an interview with independent director George Hickenlooper and an accompanying, interesting bit showing us a pre-production prototype of select scenes from Hickenlooper's The Big Brass Ring. If you've seen the latter movie in its finished state (based on an original script by Orson Welles and Oja Kodar), it is startling to watch an entirely different roster of actors (including Malcolm McDowell) in roles that Hickenlooper ultimately recast with William Hurt, Nigel Hawthorne, Miranda Richardson, and Irène Jacob. --Tom Keogh Minimize

NTSC/Region 0. 2008 was an important year for Yes. It was the year in which the band celebrated its 40th anniversary. The band, still led by founder Chris Squire, toured America with the latest line up to bear the name of this rather special band of musicians. 2008 was also important for another reason, as towards the end of the year, whilst looking for footage for an entirely different project, a researcher unearthed the footage that is now included on this DVD. The performances featured on this DVD however are from the very early days of the band. You could say from a time before their massive success; but the spark of what made them the massively successful band they became is visible here for all to see and hear. Minimize

A twisted treasure from Hollywood’s pre-Code horror heyday, Island of Lost Souls is a cautionary tale of science run amok adapted from H. G. Wells’s novel The Island of Dr. Moreau. In one of his first major movie roles, Charles Laughton (The Private Life of Henry VIII) is a mad doctor conducting ghastly genetic experiments on a remote island in the South Seas, much to the fear and disgust of the shipwrecked sailor (Richard Arlen) who finds himself trapped there. This touchstone of movie terror, directed by Erle C. Kenton (House of Frankenstein), is elegantly shot by Karl Struss (The Great Dictator), features groundbreaking makeup effects that inspired generations of monster-movie artists, and costars Bela Lugosi (Dracula) in one his most gruesome roles.

The favorite of students and educators everywhere, James Burke the scientific detective is back tracking the fascinating links between technological invention, social history, economics, and, well, everything. Life is a giant 3-dimensional globe made up of millions of threads that cross and recross each other, says Burke as he traces the lines that lead from a French loom to IBM, from a kink in a water pipe to a carburetor. He makes two dozen international stops by way of explaining how the steam pump led to carbon paper, to the entire Industrial revolution and the moon landing, with drill bits, X-rays and genetic engineering along the way; says New York Newsday. In one half-hour! Your head spins, but its the same as splendid champagne. TV is rarely this tasty or this smart, and hardly ever both in such a whiz-bang package. Programs in this series: Disc 1: Revolutions Disvover how the steam engine led to safety matches, imitation diamonds and the moon in a wild ride. Sentimental Journeys What has Freud got to do with maps: Or prison reform with blue dye? Or the inside of a star with the Himalayas: India reveals the answers. Getting It Together Start by examining a SWAT team, which leads to hot air ballooning, the root of many inventions. Whodunit? Who stole a set of billard balls in 1902 and why was he the most famous crook in history? The clues: maps from 1775, Charles Darwins cousin and the FBI. Disc 2: Something for Nothing Something impossible happened 400 years ago. And we wound up in outer space, thanks (en route) to piegon lovers, the Pope, and electric Italian frogs. Echoes of the Past On his way to finding the secret of the universe, Burke takes us to the Buddhist tea ceremony, ties to international spies and Lincolns assassination. Photo Finish The Le Mans 24-hour race is the backdrop for linking photography and bullets, relativity and blimps. Separate Ways Two trails split over slavery in the 18th Century. One route leads to the Wild West and Brooklyn Bridge, the other coining money and TV. Both end with a threat to peace. Disc 3: High Times Unwrap a sandwich and you are on a path to World War II radar and Neo-Impressionist painters Deja Vu History repeats itself, when you know how to look. Pizzaro beats the Incas, the first stock market opens. The Queen of England salutes a Mexican beetle and Hitlers plans misfire. New Harmony Miscroscopic bugs inspired the novel Frankenstein which aided the birth of Socialism. Hot Pickle The connection between a cup of tea, opium dens, the London Zoo and a switch that releases bombs Disc 4: The Big Spin The greatest medical accident in history starts a trail that leads to Helen of Troy, 17th Century flower-power, the invention of soda pop and earthquake detection Bright Ideas A Baltimore man invented the bottle, which led to razors and clock springs, and the Hubble telescope. Making Waves Hairdressers, Gold Rush Miners, Irish potato farmers and English parliamentarians are really tied together. Routes A sick lawyer in 18th Century France changes farming and triggers the French Revolution and new medical research.

The Seventh Annual Raleigh Spy Conference presents eight world-renowned spy experts as they deliver presentations on the history and role of, so-called illegal, Soviet and Russian Federation espionage operations. The Illegals Program, as it was called by the United States Department of Justice, was a network of Russian sleeper agents under non-official cover. In Russian intelligence terminology, a legal officer is one who is assigned abroad to a Russian embassy or other official government representation. An illegal assumes a non-Russian identity and appears abroad as someone who has no connection whatsoever with Russia. Featured guest speakers include: Michael Sulick, former Director, CIA s National Clandestine Service; Nigel West, British espionage expert; Dan Mulvenna, former RCMP Intelligence officer; Brian Kelley, retired CIA counterintelligence officer and Michael Hayden, former director of the NSA and CIA. This DVD set also includes Michael Hayden delivering the gripping story of the strategy and planning to locate Usama Bin Laden. Drawing on his pivotal role as the former Director of the NSA and CIA, Hayden's sixty-eight minute address presents fascinating details on the inner workings of the nation's spy agencies in preparation for one of the most dramatic operations in US intelligence history. The set includes a DVD of the Author s Roundtable, featuring Douglas Waller, author of the recent book (Wild Bill Donavan) about the founder of the World War II Office of Strategic Services, the precursor of the CIA; David Wise, known as the dean of spy writers and author of the new book (Tiger Trap: America s Secret Spy War With China); Kent Clizbe, former CIA officer and author of the upcoming (Willing Accomplices) about the effect of Soviet disinformation on US and Western institutions. The Raleigh Spy Conference is known nationally for providing the general public direct access to intelligence officers, operatives and scholars in an informal atmosphere. Sponsored by Bernie Reeves, editor and publisher of Raleigh Metro Magazine, the Raleigh Spy Conference was founded in 2003 to address the increasing flow of declassified information available since the end of the Cold War.
