THE BIGGER THE MOVIE, THE HARDER THEY SPOOF!

Fox Home Entertainment Pushes The Unrated Envelope

300-Times More Than Before In The Wildest Parody Ever,
Debuting June 3rd On Unrated DVD And Blu-Ray Disc

Century City, CA – History has never been so hysterical! After skewering some of Hollywood’s scariest movies, romantic comedies, top-grossing blockbusters and pop-culture icons, the innovative writing and directing team behind the comedy hits Date Movie and Epic Movie take on the ancient Greeks when Meet The Spartans fights its way onto Unrated DVD and Blu-ray Disc (BD) June 3rd from Fox Home Entertainment. Delivering 300-times the gut-busting laughs and crass humor, Meet The Spartans follows the journey of Leonidas, the King of Sparta. When his kingdom is challenged by the powerful Xerxes, Leonidas must recruit some of his strongest soldiers; which unfortunately leaves him with 13 (not 300) of the not-so-finest. Armed with nothing but leather underwear and a flowing red cape, Leonidas leads his ragtag army to defend their homeland, delivering outrageous send-ups of motion picture heavyweights including Ghost Rider, Transformers, Spider-Man 3 and Casino Royale, as well as leaving no stone unturned by tackling such pop culture television staples as “American Idol,” “Dancing with the Stars,” “Ugly Betty” and “Deal or No Deal.” With laugh-out-loud performances from an all-star cast, Meet The Spartans features voluptuous spoof movie veteran Carmen Electra (Scary Movie 4), Kevin Sorbo (“Hercules: The Legendary Journeys”), Diedrich Bader (“The Drew Carey Show”), Ken Davitian (Borat), Sean Maguire (“The Class”) and Method Man (“The Wire”). Meet The Spartans will be available in the Unrated “Pit of Death” Edition featuring outrageous footage not seen in theaters, plus a hilarious gag reel, trivia game, behind-the-scenes featurettes and more, priced to own at $29.98 U.S. / $43.48 Canada.

Kultur Releases DVD of Acclaimed Sculptor



GEORGE SEGAL: AMERICAN STILL LIFE

As See On Public Television

“I think a minute of existence is miraculous and extraordinary,”
--George Segal

New York, NY (May 7, 2008)—Associated strongly with the Pop Art movement in the 1960’s, George Segal was a sculptor extraordinaire. His trademark life-size plaster casts can be seen in major museums and public spaces throughout the country, from the FDR Memorial in Washington to the Port Authority Bus Terminal in New York. This May, Kultur International Films will be releasing George Segal: American Still Life, an insightful documentary that chronicles the life and work of the internationally acclaimed sculptor, painter and artist. This fascinating program weaves together interviews with the artist, scenes of him at work casting a model in his studio, commentary from his friends, family, critics, and historians, archival footage from the Pop Art scene of the 1960’s, and a look inside the museum of this American Great. George Segal: American Still Life will be released onto DVD by Kultur this May 27, 2008 for a suggested retail price of $19.99.

Segal’s most common known works of art are his life-size sculptors of ordinary people frozen in what seems to most as uneventful moments—waiting for a bus, drinking coffee in a diner, or listening to the radio. Segal said, “ “Daily life has a reputation for being banal, uninteresting, boring somehow. It strikes me that daily life is baffling, mysterious and unfathomable.”

George Segal: American Still Life shows how Segal loved the real world. It tells the story of one man’s search for a unique way express himself, and in the process, provides a lively history of American culture in the last half of the twentieth century.

Heads Up for the Ultimate Box Set!



ANCHOR BAY ENTERTAINMENT

UNVEILS THE MASTERS OF HORROR SEASON TWO BOX SET

Limited Edition ‘Skull’ Packaging Contains

All 13 Terrifying Episodes and 20-Plus Hours of Bonus Features

Exhumed onto DVD July 29, 2008

BURBANK, CA – Why settle for a good head on your shoulders when you can have a skull on your shelf! Anchor Bay Entertainment, renowned for innovative DVD packaging, brings together all 13 episodes comprising the second season of the blood-chilling anthology series Masters of Horror as a complete box set – housed in a specially designed, limited edition “skull” package!

Like last year’s critically lauded Masters of Horror “Mausoleum” Season One Box Set, the Masters of Horror Season Two “Skull” is limited to 15,000 units – so use your head and grab them before they’re gone! SRP for this cranial cache is $86.97 and pre-book is June 26th.

The Masters of Horror Season Two Box Set presents each episode in anamorphic widescreen (1.78:1) and Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound. Each disc also boasts a casket-full of spooky supplements, including commentaries from the filmmakers, behind-the-scenes featurettes, still and storyboard galleries, trailers, screenplays ( DVD -ROM) and more.


The 13 Masters of Horror Season Two episodes, alphabetically by director:

Brad Anderson’s “Sounds Like”

Listening is a way of life for call center supervisor Larry Pearce (Chris Bauer, 8MM). But ever since his young son’s tragic death, Larry’s hearing has slowly intensified. With hearing bordering on the superhuman, he must now contend with simple noises magnified into a cacophony of torment. In a world where nothing screams louder than the madness of grief, how far will one man go to obtain absolute silence?

Dario Argento’s “Pelts”

Struggling fur trader Jake Feldman (Meat Loaf) knows that you can’t make a coat without breaking a few animals’ necks. When he creates a luxurious fur coat from an unusual family of raccoons, he doesn’t realize that this exquisite fur coat does more than just dazzle the eye – it possesses animal desires and the power to exact revenge.

John Carpenter’s “Pro-Life”

A twisted tale of the supernatural – and the paternal – “Pro-Life” stars cult film veteran Ron Perlman (the upcoming Hellboy II). When young Angelique (Caitlin Wachs) seeks to end an unwanted (and seemingly life-threatening) pregnancy, her devoutly religious, fervent “pro-life” father Dwayne (Perlman) will stop at nothing to prevent it. As Dwayne and his three sons attempt to “rescue” Angelique, she discovers that the only thing more dangerous than her would-be saviors is the demonic secret growing within her.

Joe Dante’s “The Screwfly Solution”

From the director of the controversial MoH S1 episode “Homecoming.” Around the world, normal male sexual urges have suddenly mutated into violent rage, resulting in a tidal wave of horrific murders targeting women. Two scientists (Jason Priestley, “Beverly Hills 90210” and Elliott Gould, Ocean’s Eleven) are locked in a desperate race against time to figure out how – and why – the war between the sexes turned homicidal. Is a mysterious virus making every red-blooded man a potential lady-killer?

Ernest Dickerson’s “The V Word”

For geeky best friends Kerry (Arjay Smith) and Justin (Branden Nadon), who’ve only experienced carnage via their video games, it’s the ultimate midnight quest: they want to see a real corpse. But when the pair breaks into a local mortuary, they unleash a ferocious ghoul (Michael Ironside, Scanners, Starship Troopers) who’s hungry to share a few depraved urges of his own.

Mick Garris’ “Valerie on the Stairs”

Adapted from the Clive Barker story, “Valerie on the Stairs” stars Tyron Leitso (“Dinotopia”) as Rob Hanisee, an unpublished writer living at a commune for aspiring and broke novelists. Rob suspects that the house may be haunted by more than just the specters of failed authors when Valerie, a gorgeous apparition, appears in the hallway. Rob believes that he has found his muse, yet the ghost of this beautiful woman cries out in fear of a beast who owns her -- body and soul. Tony Todd (Candyman, “Chuck”) and Christopher Lloyd (Back to the Future) co-star.

Stuart Gordon’s “The Black Cat”

Edgar Allan Poe (Jeffrey Combs) is suffering from crippling writer’s block, he’s deeply in debt and barely takes care of himself, tending only to his loving but ailing wife Virginia (Elyse Levesque). He tends to her, burdened with the knowledge that he cannot save her. But is it his wife’s slow, agonizing death or her ever-present black cat that is steadily driving him insane? “The Black Cat” is an elegant and stylish thriller that propels the eclectic series into the unchartered realm of biographic speculation.

Tobe Hooper’s “The Damned Thing”

Adapted from the classic short story by famed author Ambrose Bierce, “The Damned Thing” stars Sean Patrick Flannery (The Boondock Saints) as Kevin Reddle, who, as a boy, watched helplessly as both of his parents were brutally murdered by an inexplicable force. Now a county sheriff in the tiny hamlet of Cloverdale, Kevin faces the nightmarish prospect that “it” might have returned – ready to kill again, and once again it’s after his family.

Tom Holland’s “We All Scream for Ice Cream”

“We All Scream for Ice Cream” stars William Forsythe (The Rock) as Buster the Clown, a mentally challenged man who drives an ice cream truck. One day while on his daily route, a group of kids plays a cruel prank with tragic consequences. Years later, the same group, now adults with families of their own, is slowly being exterminated – by their own children. Buster and his ice cream truck have returned for the sweet revenge that will leave their children screaming for ice cream – and their parents screaming for mercy.

John Landis’ “Family”

Harold Thompson (George Wendt) is a mild-mannered bachelor living in an idyllic, sun-drenched planned community. Unbeknownst to his neighbors, he harbors a deadly secret as he builds the “perfect” family. When a young couple moves next door, Harold sets his sights on the sexy young wife (Meredith Monroe) as his potential new “bride.” Amid the manicured lawns and white picket fences, can Harold hide his monstrous secret long enough to complete his gruesome goal? Written by Brent Hanley (Frailty).

Rob Schmidt’s “Right to Die”

“Right to Die” stars Martin Donovan (“Weeds”) as Cliff Addison, a man harboring a guilty secret from his wife Abby (Julia Anderson) – he is committing adultery. However, after a car accident leaves Abby’s body covered in burns, she repeatedly flat-lines, only to be revived each time. During the brief periods when she is clinically “dead,” her apparition seeks vengeance on those who stand to profit from her suffering, including a slick attorney (Corbin Bernsen, “L.A. Law”).

Norio Tsuruta’s “Dream Cruise”

Adapted from a short story by the legendary Japanese horror novelist Koji Suzuki (the original Ringu), “Dream Cruise” stars Daniel Gillies (Spider-Man 2) as an American attorney working in Japan. He also harbors a crippling fear of the ocean, due to a childhood trauma. Even more threatening waters lie ahead when he begins a dangerous affair with the wife of a wealthy client (Ryo Ishibashi, Audition, The Grudge). When the trio embarks on a sunset boat trip, the stage is set for a tragic showdown between those who love and those who will kill to keep what is theirs. The disc features the complete theatrical cut of “Dream Cruise.”

Peter Medak’s “The Washingtonians”

Johnathon Schaech (That Thing You Do) stars in and co-adapted Bentley Little’s short story that sheds a new (bloody) light on American history. Saul Rubinek (Unforgiven) co-stars in this gruesome tale about the discovery of a Revolutionary War artifact that suggests George Washington’s famed wooden teeth hungered for more than just liberty.

Premiering on the Showtime cable network in October 2005 to critical and public acclaim, each one-hour Masters of Horror film set a new standard in terror, written and directed by some of the genre’s leading practitioners.

The executive producers of Masters of Horror are Morris Berger & Steve Brown; John W. Hyde; Keith Addis & Andrew Deane; and Mick Garris. Lisa Richardson and Tom Rowe are producers. Adam Goldworm and Ben Browning are co-producers on the series.

NEW YORK, NY – As the 2008 presidential election gains momentum, countless Americans are turning to the press to help them get the facts. But in this age of media empires, spin and collusion, the lines of objectivity are increasingly becoming blurred -- and constantly being crossed. On July 29, director Robert Greenwald’s Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch’s War on Journalism -- the genre-busting documentary smash that started the flood of “issue-oriented” documentaries -- returns in a specially-updated DVD version with OUTFOXED: FOX ATTACKS! SPECIAL COLLECTOR’S EDITION. Just in time for the onslaught of political news coverage throughout ‘08, this critically acclaimed documentary – The Disinformation Company’s best-selling DVD ever -- is being re-released to DVD on July 29 for $14.95srp, featuring over an hour of bonus programming!

Aside from the film called “scathing,” by Salon.com and “as hugely entertaining as it is informative,” by The Sacramento Bee, the special edition dual-layer DVD features all 16 of Greenwald’s infamous “Fox Attacks!” shorts. This series of 16 viral videos continues the work started in OUTFOXED, and highlights prime examples of Fox’s biased, dishonest journalism created in support of campaigns, petitions and legislation. See Fox News in rare form, as the media giant unilaterally attacks everything from Obama, Black America, Immigrants and Iran to Decency, Bloggers and the Environment.

Director Greenwald (Iraq For Sale: The War Profiteers, Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Prices) and his groundbreaking documentary examines how media empires, led Fox News, have been taking control of the public’s right to know. Exploring Rupert Murdoch’s burgeoning news oligarchy and the societal impact when a majority of media is controlled by one large corporation, this compelling doc also reveals the secrets of former Fox news producers, reporters, bookers and writers who expose what it’s like to work for Murdoch’s empire. In addition to witnessing former employees talk of being forced to push a “right-wing” agenda or risk losing their jobs, media experts interviewing also include Eric Alterman, the media columnists for “The Nation”; political pundit, comedian, author and Air America host Al Franken; longtime TV news producer and journalist Clara Frenk; Mark Crispin Miller, NYU professor and author of “Boxed in: The Culture of TV”; Chellie Pingree, former Maine Senate majority leader and founder of Common Cause; Bernie Sanders, the longtime Independent Representative from Vermont and author Danny Schecter (“Embedded: Weapons of Mass Deception”), who also edits mediachannel.org and founded Globalvision.

With unmatched promotion by activist groups, led by Greenwald’s Brave New Films.org, and the fanatical following for the Fox Attacks! shorts – seen by millions online -- OUTFOXED: FOX ATTACKS! SPECIAL COLLECTOR’S EDITION is certain to be one of this political season’s must-see DVDs.

The Real McCoys: Complete Season 3

Television’s Happy-Go-Lucky Family Encounters More Mischief & Mayhem in Sunny ‘Cal-i-for-ni-ay’ in Season 3 of One of the
Top Comedies of the ’50s & ’60s

Season #3 Available on DVD for the First Time Ever June 17th

LOS ANGELES — June 1, 2008 — For Immediate Release — Grampa, Luke, Kate and the rest of the McCoy clan are back for more uproarious antics in The Real McCoys: Complete Season 3, in stores June 17th from Infinity Entertainment Group.

This top-rated classic television show followed the hilarious escapades of a quirky West Virginia family who relocates to sunny “Cal-i-for-ni-ay” to become dirt farmers. Entertaining families across America for six seasons (1957 to 1963), the show successfully paved the way for such other rural comedies as Petticoat Junction, Green Acres, The Beverly Hillbillies and Gomer Pyle.

Grampa Amos McCoy (played to perfection by three-time Academy Award-winner Walter Brennan) returns as the porch-rockin’, gol-darnin’, consarnin’ patriarch still meddling in other people’s affairs – neighbors and family alike. Grandson Luke (Richard Crenna) is also back along with his wife Kate (Kathy Nolan), teenage sister “Aunt” Hassie (Lydia Reed), 11-year-old brother Little Luke (Michael Winkleman), musically inclined farm hand Pepino (Tony Martinez), George MacMichael (Andy Clyde), their argumentative neighbor, and George’s spinster sister Flora (Madge Blake).

Now, you can own all 39 episodes of the third season of this classic TV sitcom – digitally remastered for unparalleled picture and audio quality – in this five-disc DVD collector’s set,
Join in the fun as dim-witted guests come to visit; Grampa woos a lovely neighbor; a new ditch causes a rift between Grampa and George; Pepino takes a wife; Luke spends a weekend in La-La Land; the whole family take on the U.S. Navy; and much, much more!

Currently available on DVD are The Real McCoys: Complete Seasons 1 and 2. And look for three more seasons of The Real McCoys coming soon!
