Misty

This 1961 family film, based on the novel by Marguerite Henry, inspired a generation of children to name their pet dogs, cats, turtles, and so on after the lovely colt of the title. Set on Virginia's coastal island of Chincoteague, the film begins on "Pony-Penning Day," an annual celebration that involves rounding up for auction wild ponies on neighboring islands. Two young children, a brother and sister (David Ladd, son of Alan, and Pam Smith), capture an elusive mare nicknamed Phantom and hope to take ownership of her colt, Misty. A stranger has other plans, however, setting his mind on buying both animals, and the disappointed kids turn to their sympathetic townspeople to find a way out of the dilemma. A great-looking film shot on location, Misty is an effusive adventure about that special, even mythic, bond between children and wild creatures. Performances are strong, the scenery is splendid, and the film lingers in the memory for a long, long time. --Tom Keogh

Tracy Anderson Method Presents Dance Cardio Workout DVD

After working for 10 years to develop my method, I have turned down every opportunity to have it reach the masses - until now. I have figured out an effective way to take everyone on the life-changing journey that my method has to offer. This DVD will help you get the kind of results that I know you never thought were possible. My Dance Cardio DVD is a follow up to last year's Dance Aerobics DVD and it is full of new combinations. It features a break down section so that you can learn the routines at your own pace and you will have the exciting option of following me from the back just as if you were in the class with me. Dance Cardio is the perfect complement to the muscular structure work of the Mat Workout DVD. Take the time to get good at the moves featured in these DVDs and they will be all that you need to be on your way to a life free from wondering if you are doing the "right" exercise to get the body you want.

Generic Thriller $24.99

Steven, a handsome, young theatre history professor sets out to write a stage thriller only to discover that his characters prefer a character study- and want it to be a movie, not a play. Basing the characters on his real life friends, Steven has created a conundrum. As the psyce of each character develops, they begin to consume Steven, especially the uncooperative lead character, Vertigo. Add a psycotic killer and Steven may be pushed over the edge. In the vein of Fellini's 8, Pirandello's Six Characters in Search of an Author or Woody Allen's Deconstucting Harry, Generic Thriller shines a light into the creative process of a writer/director on the brink of insanity.

A Better Tomorrow II

"I won't give you nothing, man; I give you shit," sneers charismatic superstar Chow Yun Fat, speaking English (with a De Niro accent) in his role as a New York restaurateur who won't knuckle under to the (Italian) mob. Chow plays the twin brother of the character he played in the original Tomorrow, the ultraviolent, ultraromantic ultrapopular Hong Kong gangster melodrama. And the blatancy of that device is a fair indication of the sequel's shortcomings--and of its screwy charm: this is a film that knows no shame. The bond between the natural siblings played by Ti Lung (as a reformed mobster) and Leslie Cheung (as a hot shot cop) still resonate tellingly. As a good-guy ex-thug driven batty by the slaying of his only daughter, real-life Cinema City studio chief Dean Shek gets to play a garishly extended "mad scene," foaming at the mouth, chewing on soup bones. A later episode in which a dying man crawls to a phone booth to call his wife (and newborn daughter) in the hospital must also be some kind of lurid first in the soap sweepstakes. The final 15 minutes could be the bloodiest single shoot-out sequence ever committed to celluloid. The story line hasn't been shaped to any particular purpose here, but the images have a golden Godfather-like glow, and this faintly anachronistic, all-stops-out wish-fulfillment approach to moviemaking still has a lot of power. --David Chute
