4.98 12-66 Alexander DVD Like New
Conquering 90% of the known world by the age of 25, Alexander the Great led his armies through
22,000 miles of sieges and conquests in just eight years. Coming out of tiny Macedonia (today part of
Greece), Alexander led his armies against the mighty Persian Empire, drove west to Egypt, and finally
made his way east to India. This film will concentrate on those eight years of battles, as well as his
relationship with his boyhood friend and battle mate, Hephaestion. Alexander died young, of illness, at
33. Alexander's conquests paved the way for the spread of Greek culture (facilitating the spread of
Christianity centuries later), and removed many of the obstacles that might have prevented the
expansion of the Roman Empire. In other words, the world we know today might never have been if not for
Alexander's bloody, yet unifying, conquest.

Harvey Pekar is file clerk at the local VA hospital. His interactions with his co-workers offer
some relief from the monotony, and their discussions encompass everything from music to the decline of
American culture to new flavors of jellybeans and life itself. At home, Harvey fills his days with
reading, writing and listening to jazz. His apartment is filled with thousands of books and LPs, and he
regularly scours Cleveland's thrift stores and garage sales for more, savoring the rare joy of a
25-cent find. It is at one of these junk sales that Harvey meets Robert Crumb, a greeting card artist

4.98 12-266 Auto Focus DVD Like New Widescreen (1.85:1)
In 1965, Bob Crane, who had achieved some earlier success as a television supporting actor, was
working as a successful morning radio DJ at KNX Los Angeles. Despite enjoying his work, photography
(especially of the female form) and drumming, Crane wanted to be a movie star. So it was with some
reluctance that he accepted the title starring role in a new television sitcom called Hogan's Heroes
(1965), a WWII POW comedy. To his surprise, the show became a hit and catapulted him to television
stardom. The fame resulting from the show led to excesses and a meeting with home video salesman and
technician John Carpenter, with who he would form a friendship based on their mutual interests, namely
excessive sex (for Crane, purely heterosexual sex) and capturing nude females on celluloid. His fame
allowed Crane to have as much sex as he wanted, which was incongruent to his somewhat wholesome
television friendly image, and the way he portrayed himself to almost everyone except Carpenter and his
extramarital sex partners. His sex addiction was somewhat known but ignored by his high school
sweetheart/first wife Anne Crane nee Terzian, but well known by his second wife, Patti Olson, better
known as Sigrid Valdis, his Hogan's Heroes co-star. Especially after the end of Hogan's Heroes in 1971,
this incongruence and his friendship with Carpenter, with who he would have a continuing love/hate
relationship, would contribute to both his professional and personal downfall.

Famed writer Truman Capote, southern born and bred but now part of the New York City social circle,
is growing weary of his current assignment of writing autobiographical type pieces for the New Yorker.
After reading a newspaper article about the just occurred November 14, 1959 cold blooded murders of the
Clutter family in their rural Kansas home, Truman feels compelled to write about that event as his next
article. So he and his personal assistant Nelle Harper Lee, also a southern born New Yorker and an
aspiring writer of her own, head to Kansas to research the story first-hand. Truman hopes to use his
celebrity status to gain access to whomever he needs, such as to Laura Kinney, a friend of the Clutter
daughter she who discovered the bodies, and to Alvin Dewey, the lead police investigator and also a
Clutter family friend. If his celebrity doesn't work, Truman will grease the wheels by whatever means
necessary. When the police eventually charge suspects, two young men named Dick Hickcock and Perry
Smith, Truman uses those same tactics to gain access to them. Truman's fascination with the story makes
him believe that he can revolutionize writing by expanding the germ of the article into what he calls a
non-fiction novel. His personal involvement also changes as he grows emotionally attached to Perry, the
seemingly sensitive and thus probable submissive in the criminal pairing, thus Truman becoming part of
the story itself. Article or non-fiction novel, Truman knows that he has to take it to its natural
conclusion, something which he cannot force. But also missing are the details of the November 14, 1959
event itself, something that neither Dick or Perry have divulged even in testimony.

1903 London. Renowned playwright J.M. Barrie (James)'s latest effort has garnered less than
positive reviews, something he knew would be the case even before the play's mounting. This failure
places pressure on James to write another play quickly as impresario Charles Frohman needs another to
replace the failure to keep his theater viable. Out for a walk with his dog in part to let his creative
juices flow, James stumbles upon the Llewelyn Davies family: recently widowed Sylvia Llewelyn Davies
(the daughter of now deceased author George L. Du Maurier) and her four adolescent sons. James and the
family members become friends, largely based on he and the boys being able to foster in each other the
imagination of children, James just being the biggest among them in this regard. Sylvia also welcomes
James into their lives, he who becomes an important and integral part of it. Among the six of them, the
only one who does not want to partake is Sylvia's third, Peter Llewelyn Davies, who is still grieving
the reality of their lives, where his father was there one day planning an outing for the family, and
gone the next. Two other people who don't appreciate James in the Llewelyn Davies' lives are: his wife,
Mary Barrie, who always feels the need to be the responsible one in their relationship and who feels
threatened by his friendship with an unmarried woman; and Emma du Maurier, Sylvia's overbearing mother,
who sees him as an obstacle to Sylvia moving on with her life with another potential husband, and an
impediment to maintaining discipline within the boys. James still hopes to bring Peter out of his
self-imposed shell, but in the process comes up with an idea for another play based on an amalgam of
himself and Peter, that play which eventually becomes what Charles sees as a largely unmountable and
thus doomed production called "Peter Pan". This process of helping Peter could take a step backward
when it looks like Sylvia may imminently befall a similar fate to that of her late husband.

It's 1994 in Long Beach, California. Idealistic Erin Gruwell is just starting her first teaching
job, that as freshman and sophomore English teacher at Woodrow Wilson High School, which, two years
earlier, implemented a voluntary integration program. For many of the existing teachers, the
integration has ruined the school, whose previously stellar academic standing has been replaced with
many students who will be lucky to graduate or even be literate. Despite choosing the school on purpose
because of its integration program, Erin is unprepared for the nature of her classroom, whose students
live by generations of strict moral codes of protecting their own at all cost. Many are in gangs and
almost all know somebody that has been killed by gang violence. The Latinos hate the Cambodians who
hate the blacks and so on. The only person the students hate more is Ms. Gruwell. It isn't until Erin
holds an unsanctioned discussion about a recent drive-by shooting death that she fully begins to
understand what she's up against. And it isn't until she provides an assignment of writing a daily
journal - which will be not graded, and will remain unread by her unless they so choose - that the
students begin to open up to her. As Erin tries harder and harder to have resources provided to teach
properly (which often results in her needing to pay for them herself through working second and third
jobs), she seems to face greater resistance, especially from her colleagues, such as Margaret Campbell,
her section head, who lives by regulations and sees such resources as a waste, and Brian Gelford, who
will protect his "priviledged" position of teaching the senior honors classes at all cost. Erin also
finds that her teaching job is placing a strain on her marriage to Scott Casey, a man who seems to have
lost his own idealistic way in life.

Called Prok as an adult (short for Professor Kinsey), Alfred Kinsey has been interested in biology
since he was a child growing up in the early twentieth century, despite the criticisms of such being
evil nonsense from his overbearing and devoutly Christian father, professor Alfred Seguine Kinsey. Prok
goes on to become a biology professor at Indiana University, initially focusing on the study of gall
wasps. But those studies in combination with questions from his students, coming to terms with the
needs of sex with his own wife, a former student of his named Clara McMillen (who he calls Mac), and
what he sees as the gross misinformation on the subject currently within popular belief makes him
change his focus to human sexuality. Many of those gross untruths - as he sees them - are that oral sex
and masturbation cause a slew of maladies, which are perpetuated by what is presented in the
university's hygiene class taught by Professor Thurman Rice. With the approval of faculty head Herman
Wells, Prok starts teaching his own wildly popular marriage course, talking about sex in a
straightforwardly academic fashion. When he sees that morals don't necessarily mirror sexual behavior,
he decides to conduct a massive sex survey with the assistance of students Wardell Pomeroy, Clyde
Martin and Paul Gebhard. He faces the issue of the funding required for the survey and public and
political response to this controversial and oft seen as taboo subject. But in conducting the survey,
he and Mac also face the issue of their own sexuality in relationship to their marriage and the
emotional and cultural aspects behind it, such as the notion of love.

The professional and personal life of actor and comedian Peter Sellers was a turbulent one. His
early movie fame was based primarily on his comic characterizations, often of bumbling and
foreign-accented persons, characters which he embodied. As his movie fame rose, he began to lose his
own personal identity to his movie characters, leading to self-doubt of himself as a person and a
constant need for reassurance and acceptance of his work. This self-doubt manifested itself in fits of
anger and what was deemed as arrogance by many. In turn, his personal relationships began to
deteriorate as his characterizations were continually used to mask his problems. His first wife, Anne
Howe, left/divorced him and his relationships with his parents and children became increasingly
distant. His relationship with his second wife, Swedish actress Britt Ekland, was based on this mask.
In his later life, he tried to rediscover himself and his career with what would become his penultimate
film role, that of Chance in Being There (1979).
