But he was rebellious as well insight and poignancy, his own volatile personailty was one enemy he could never defeat

Peter O'Toole plays Octavius/Augustus, heir to his doomed uncle Julius Caesar's command of the far-flung Roman empire. Surviving an assassination attempt and struck by news of the death of his old friend and ally, Agrippa (Ken Duken), in the same day, Octavius waxes nostalgic about his youthful exploits in Caesar's army (Benjamin Sadler plays the young Augustus in flashbacks) and his unprepared immersion in the deadly politics of the Mark Antony (Massimo Ghini) era. More immediate are Octavius' problems trying to stave off conspiracies by his wife Livia (Charlotte Rampling) to set up the emperor's stepson, Tiberius (Michele Bevilacqua), as heir, and talk his dutiful daughter Julia (Vittoria Belvedere) into a marriage she doesn't want. Roger Young (Jesus) directs this highly watchable costume drama, and O'Toole's golden presence makes the ancient intrigues tragically human.

The bloodiest and most savage fighting took place in Stalingrad between August 1942 and February 1943. Stalin's city on the Volga had military significance for Hitler. It carried the name of his enemy and therefore had to be destroyed. The ensuing battle sealed the fates of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians and marked the turning point of World War 11. It was the beginning of the end for Nazi Germany. In their 3 part 16:9 HDTV, documentary filmmakers Sebastian Dehnhardt, Christian Deick and Jorg Mullner reveal new historical facts while touching the emotions of their audience with new, moving eyewitness accounts and confessions from some of the last survivors.

Read more about DVD formats.)# Aspect Ratio: 1.33:1# Number of discs: 1# Rated: NR (Not Rated)# Studio: Mpi Home Video# DVD Release Date: November 13, 2001# Run Time: 127 minutes This DVD contains two documentaries about boxing legend Muhammad Ali, one focusing on Ali's brilliance in the ring and the other on his natural showmanship at the microphone. Skill, Brains & Guts begins with Ali's emergence as a great amateur fighter, then chronicles his career through the glory days of the 1960s, his exile from the ring following his refusal to join the military during the height of the Vietnam War, and his eventual comeback and landmark fights against Joe Frazier and George Foreman. The 1975 film is worth watching for all the fight footage of Ali in his prime, when he captivated the world with both his pugilistic skill and his entertaining arrogance. In His Own Words collects a number of rarely seen interview and press conference clips and showcases Ali as a remarkably skilled practitioner of what would become known as "talking trash."

Adapted from the novel by Nicholas Sparks and transplanted from 1958 to the present day, this admirable teen romance recognizes that two 18-year-olds--Landon (Shane West) and Jamie (pop singer Mandy Moore)--can be smart, mature, and sensible about the very real love they share. He's a popular kid in the cool crowd. She's got a goody-goody reputation as the dowdy daughter of a local minister (Peter Coyote); her values and priorities aren't rooted in peer pressure, and Landon feels blessed by her self-assured nobility. Their mutual affection inevitably heads into Love Story territory, but the movie is honest enough to survive its own schmaltz, and its attractive cast (including Daryl Hannah as Landon's mom) embraces a tone of sincerity and mutual respect. Finally... a teen movie with teens you can admire.

One of MGM's longtime queens, Norma Shearer (who had been married to head of production/wonder boy Irving Thalberg until his death in 1936), plays the young Austrian girl imported to marry the man who would become Louis XVI of France. The film covers Marie's girly youth at court, through an affair with suave Tyrone Power (then in his early, dewy prime) and finally to the dark days of the Revolution. Like Sofia Coppola's 2006 version of the Queen's life, this film emphasizes glitz, and leaves the Royals mostly innocent of blame for what happens to the starving peasants. Unlike the Coppola picture, this one takes Marie and diffident husband Louis (Robert Morley, his film debut) through their imprisonment and all the way to the guillotine. The parade of enormous sets and opulent gowns contributes to the general sense of stodginess, even if one might pause to note the rather continental attitude toward Marie's extramarital needs. John Barrymore plays the declining Louis XV, but it's the childlike Morley that steals the show. Shearer's glamorous star turn might leave some viewers puzzled as to her appeal, although the very ordinariness of her personality actually works in concert with Marie's out-of-her-depth character. The project had been a pet of Thalberg's, and MGM went ahead with the film after his death, but it marked the end of Shearer's period of major stardom. The opposite of this film's highbrow literary approach can be found in Josef von Sternberg's The Scarlet Empress, with Marlene Dietrich, a delirious and cinematic treatment of a Queen abroad. (This DVD includes overture and entr'acte music.)

Selznick wanted Gone with the Wind to be somehow more than a movie, a film that would broaden the very idea of what a film could be and do and look like. In many respects he got what he worked so hard to achieve in this 1939 epic (and all-time box-office champ in terms of tickets sold), and in some respects he fell far short of the goal. While the first half of this Civil War drama is taut and suspenseful and nostalgic, the second is ramshackle and arbitrary. But there's no question that the film is an enormous achievement in terms of its every resource--art direction, color, sound, cinematography--being pushed to new limits for the greater glory of telling an American story as fully as possible. Vivien Leigh is still magnificently narcissistic, Olivia de Havilland angelic and lovely, Leslie Howard reckless and aristocratic. As for Clark Gable: we're talking one of the most vital, masculine performances ever committed to film.

Perfectly timed, ingeniously rendered, not a hair out of place in the history-making performances of Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon (or the great support cast), The Odd Couple is a movie that one just has to see every two or three years to stay happy. The poker-game sequence in which Oscar's cronies seem to be falling under the sway of fussy Felix's talent for making sandwiches is priceless.

| Journey to the Center of the Earth [VHS] (1959) # Actors: James Mason, Pat Boone, Arlene Dahl, Diane Baker, Thayer David# Directors: Henry Levin# Writers: Charles Brackett, Jules Verne, Walter Reisch# Producers: Charles Brackett# Format: Closed-captioned, Color, HiFi Sound, NTSC# Language: English, French, Icelandic, Italian# Rated: G (General Audience)# Number of tapes: 1# Studio: 20th Century Fox# VHS Release Date: January 2, 1996# Run Time: 132 minutes James Mason plays Professor Oliver Lindenbrook, a scientist hoping to find the world's core in this 1959 adaptation of the Jules Verne novel. He leads his unusual party on an expedition to the center of the earth, by way of a volcano in Iceland. On the way, they encounter enormous mushrooms and giant prehistoric monsters. Produced by Michael Todd with then-spectacular special effects, the story was modernized to 1950s sensibilities. Mason gives this class, while Arlene Dahl and Diane Baker are the romantic interests. And Pat Boone is more palatable than you might expect as a secondary lead. You can watch this with your children and not be bored, and they will surely love it.This video gets 4.5/5 stars from customers at Amazon

This remains one of the most enigmatic questions of the last century. Acclaimed historian Laurence Rees examines what led a cultured nation at the heart of Europe to commit the atrocities it did. In so doing, he exposes popular myths and encourages understanding of the real forces that led to one of the darkest chapters in modern history. Was it simply the hypnotic power of Hitler's rhetoric? Did the Gestapo really impose themselves by terror on an unwilling population? Through interviews with witnesses and perpetrators, along with archive film and records, this six-part series unveils a more chilling reality.

| Frontline: Faith & Doubt at Ground Zero [VHS] # Format: NTSC# Rated: Unrated# Studio: Pbs (Direct)# VHS Release Date: October 8, 2002 This video gets a 5 star review (from one customer) at Amazon After the events of 9/11, attendance at religious services throughout the country surged as survivors and witnesses alike tried to make sense of the tragedies. What happened on that fateful day would prompt a spiritual examination in believers in a god and atheists: Those who had faith in God questioned Him; atheists would reconsider their stance; and there would be those who would obstinately stick by their views, whatever they were. Hear the voices of the widow of a firefighter, rabbis, priests, Buddhists, Muslims, Catholics, opera divas and security guards as they share their beliefs on good and evil and on a higher power--or lack there of.

| Doctor Who: The E-Space Trilogy Full Circle/State of Decay/Warriors' Gate (Stories 112-114) (2009) # Actors: Tom Baker, Lalla Ward, John Leeson, Matthew Waterhouse, George Baker# Directors: Peter Grimwade, Peter Moffatt, Paul Joyce# Format: Box set, Collector's Edition, Color, DVD, Original recording remastered, NTSC# Language: English (Dolby Digital 1.0)# Subtitles: English# Region: Region 1 (U.S. and Canada only. Read more about DVD formats.)# Aspect Ratio: 1.33:1# Number of discs: 3# Rated: NR (Not Rated)# Studio: BBC Video / Warner Bros.# DVD Release Date: May 5, 2009# Run Time: 288 minutes The E-Space Trilogy is a well-regarded trio of stories from the tail end of Tom Baker�s tenure as the Doctor (and the show�s 18th season), and find him lost in a parallel universe full of alarming new foes; the trilogy also serves as a farewell to one of the Doctor�s best-loved companions, Romana (Lalla Ward) and an introduction to one of his most controversial, the teenaged Adric (Matthew Waterhouse). The TARDIS enters the alternate universe--known as Exo-Space or E-Space in 1980�s Full Circle, which finds the Doctor and Romana charting a course for their home planet of Gallifrey but instead finding themselves on the planet Alzarius, where a small band of humanoids find conflict within their number as well as from menacing, reptilian Marshmen. One of the humanoids, a teenager named Adric, stows away aboard the TARDIS and accompanies the Doctor to a new planet in State of Decay; there, they discover a medieval-like society in the grip of three lords who demand sacrifice from the population. The true identity of the lords lends an air of Hammer-style horror to the story, which is perhaps the most engaging of the set. Finally, an escape route from E-Space is revealed in Warriors� Gate, but first, the Doctor and his companions must contend with a slave ship and its cargo of lion-like creatures called Tharils. Though the Doctor is eventually freed from E-Space, his departure does not come without its costs, as revealed by the final fate of Romana and fan favorite K-9 Mk II.Though by no means among the best of the Baker episodes, the E-Space Trilogy delivers plenty of thrills in its three stories.
