The Seven-Ups Feature

• Condition: New
• Format: DVD
• Color; DVD; NTSC

The Seven-Ups of the title are a hot-dogging special unit of the New York Police Department led by street smart Roy Scheider, who applies unconventional techniques to crack tough cases and nab untouchable criminals. When a pair of police impersonators pulls a series of mob kidnappings, the local hoods get very nervous and Scheider's boys investigate, leading to a squad member's death that turns the case personal. Director Philip D'Antoni previously produced Bullitt and The French Connection and learned the importance of a good car chase: with craftsmanlike efficiency he delivers a textbook example of the inner-city chase, lacking style but chock full of squealing tires, careening cars, fleeing pedestrians, and dynamite crackups. The New York City street shooting and the ever-present street sounds give the film a solid sense of place, and Scheider applies his usual thoughtful intensity as the vengeful cop, but the rest of the cops are woefully undeveloped. Only Tony LoBianco, as Scheider's childhood buddy turned hustler and street snitch, has any real presence next to Scheider. In the pantheon of '70s cop thrillers, The Seven-Ups ranks below the more vigorous and ambiguous classics like Serpico and The French Connection, but excellent stunt work and gritty action raises it above the pack. --Sean Axmaker


Cult crime film from 1973, based on stories by Ex-NYC detective Sonny Grosso ( the real life "Cloudy" of "The French Connection" fame). Roy Scheider plays a tough elite cop waging war on the local criminals after his partner is murdered. Seven-Ups refers to the minimum jail time each of the crooks will have to spend if they are caught. Absolutlely thrilling car chases remain engaging 30 years later. Great action picture. If you liked The French Connection, give this film a try.

CANCER, DIABETES, LUNG DISEASE: A COMPREHENSIVE DVD ON LIVING LIFE WITH A CHRONIC DISEASE


The DVD includes insights from experts and authors - some suffering from life-threatening chronic illnesses themselves - and the stories of patients who have managed to live - even happily - with a chronic disease.


In LIVING & BREATHING, we witness how three women from three different countries - Amy, Havi and Corine - cope with one such disease: Lymphangioleiomyomatosis, or LAM for short. The difficulties, uncertainties, and isolation derived from living with this disease are relieved by the measures of joy that are still to be found in life - even under these circumstances. Against all expectations, the disease becomes a great battle that leads these women to reinvent themselves and their lives with greater meaning than ever before. They teach us profound lessons about what is important in our own lives, how we face imminent mortality, and whether happiness is still possible despite being afflicted with such an illness.


It features the documentary LIVING & BREATHING (52 min.), 5 downloadable transcripts, and an exclusive 28-page booklet, plus 3 bonus films: IDENTITY BEYOND ILLNESS (4 min.), LIVING WITH PAIN (6 min.), and THE SCIENCE OF HAPPINESS (8 min.)


The ways of coping draw from the contributions of: Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn, founder of Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction and author of Mindfulness Meditation for Pain Relief; Dr. Herbert Benson, Harvard Medical School teacher, researcher, practitioner, and author of The Relaxation Response; Dr. Sonja Lyubomirsky, UC professor, researcher, and publisher of the definitive summary of the science of happiness; Dr. Julian Seifter, diabetes patient, Harvard nephrologist, and writer on the subject of transformation through illness; Dr. Stewart Fleishman, psychiatry professor and practitioner of support services for cancer patients; and Dr. Nicholas Christakis, practitioner and Harvard professor of hospice medicine.

JZ Knight on UFOs - Understanding Our Brain s Connection to Alien Life Review

See more picture

JZ Knight s remarkable insights on UFOs and alien contact presented in this DVD bring the discussion of this subject to a whole new level: What is the common ground that connects us to intelligent life scattered across space? How does our brain work differently or similarly to theirs? How come some people see UFOs and others do not? What is happening at a neurological level? What UFO technology has quantum physics unraveled? What about time and timelines of possibility? What can we do to advance forward as a civilization to meet our future Now and reach for the stars? JZ Knight s multiple experiences of going through the tunnel or wormhole while channeling Ramtha, similar to near-death experiences, have given her a unique framework for understanding these questions. JZ Knight on UFOs is a candid and exciting DVD presentation of her knowledge, originally recorded live at Ramtha s School of Enlightenment for the Extraterrestrial Civilizations & World Peace Conference held in Hawaii in June 2006. Subtitles in 9 languages: Chinese, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, and Spanish.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail (Special Edition) Feature

• TESTED

Could this be the funniest movie ever made? By any rational measure of comedy, this medieval romp from the Monty Python troupe certainly belongs on the short list of candidates. According to Leonard Maltin's Movie & Video Guide, it's "recommended for fans only," but we say hogwash to that--you could be a complete newcomer to the Python phenomenon and still find this send-up of the Arthurian legend to be wet-your-pants hilarious. It's basically a series of sketches woven together as King Arthur's quest for the Holy Grail, with Graham Chapman as the King, Terry Gilliam as his simpleton sidekick Patsy, and the rest of the Python gang filling out a variety of outrageous roles. The comedy highlights are too numerous to mention, but once you've seen Arthur's outrageously bloody encounter with the ominous Black Knight (John Cleese), you'll know that nothing's sacred in the Python school of comedy. From holy hand grenades to killer bunnies to the absurdity of the three-headed knights who say "Ni--!," this is the kind of movie that will strike you as fantastically funny or just plain silly, but why stop there? It's all over the map, and the pace lags a bit here and there, but for every throwaway gag the Pythons have invented, there's a bit of subtle business or grand-scale insanity that's utterly inspired. The sum of this madness is a movie that's beloved by anyone with a pulse and an irreverent sense of humor. If this movie doesn't make you laugh, you're almost certainly dead. --Jeff Shannon


The Monty Python team are at it again in their second movie. This time we follow King Arthur and his knights in their search for the Holy Grail. This isn't your average medieval knights and horses story - for a start, due to a shortage in the kingdom, all the horses have been replaced by servants clopping coconuts together!

The Healing Within Review

An American cardiologist and a French cancer specialist, who don't know one another, set up surprisingly similar rehab programs based on exercise, diet and meditation. More than mere rest, exercise alleviates the fatigue of medical treatment, including chemotherapy, radiation therapy, surgery, and the raw anxiety accompanying disease. Meditation, including meditative exercise, generates alpha waves in the brain, and a cascade of other effects calming mind and body. These methods help patients gain back their self confidence, and the energy to fight the disease. Scientific research funded by the US NIH (National Institutes of Health) is under way to discover exactly how meditation works its magic, possibly triggered by spontaneous release of nitric oxide into the bloodstream. These methods of guided self care, fighting the devastating effects of stress and anxiety, are increasingly understood by science and medicine as powerful complements to modern surgical and pharmaceutical treatments. In Paris, Boston and Connecticut, five patients tell us the moving story of their fight for life. Thanks to karate, exercise and meditation, they are survivors, appreciating and enjoying their lives even more than before.

Australia: The Last Trackers of the Outback Feature

• WARNING : This is a PAL DVD - Will not play on all American DVD players

It's 1963 in the Australian outback and master tracker Billy Benn is being chased by the police for the murder of his wife's lover. Can Benn escape and find solace in the outback or will the police led by fellow tracker Teddy Egan catch up to him?

Some twenty years later the police are in full force again running through the forest but this time they are not chasing a criminal, instead it is a race against time. A 6-year-old girl has been lost and stranded deep in the forest already for nine days and her survival, if possible, will depend on how quickly authorities can locate her. Once again the police will rely on the keen sense of a tracker for success. Where others see only a forest, Musgrave spots clues and signs as he reads the environment like a map.

Similarly the police have relied on the trackers' mysterious abilities to break up a drug ring, rescue a stranded photographer in the desert, and find a young cowboy who disappeared during a stampede.

Trackers have been around for centuries and when the police realized that it would be interesting to put them to use in tracking escaped and missing persons, Australia was still a British penal colony. But in this age of GPS, 4x4 vehicles and helicopters, are we letting go of something more fundamental - an intuitive knowledge linking man to nature?

Featured in this film will be some of the last great trackers of the outback, including George Musgrave, Teddy Egan Jangala, Tommy George, and Mitjili Gibson. We will bring their most dramatic stories to life by recreating their gripping adventures deep in the unknown corners of the Australian Outback, traversing lush rainforests and wild rivers, magnificent gorges and deep water holes, dry savannahs, and red deserts in search of the soon-to-be lost Aboriginal art of the tracker.
