Remember Me, My Love (DVD)
Italian director Gabriele Muccino (THE LAST KISS) directs this tale of a modern family who is on the verge of unraveling. On the surface, the Ristuccia family appears to have it all: Carlo (Fabrizio Bentivoglio) has a well-paying, secure job; Giulia (Laura Morante) is getting more beautiful with age; 18-year-old Valentina (Nicoletta Romanoff) has dreams of dancing stardom; and 19-year-old Paolo (Silvio Muccino) has fallen in love. But, as is the case with most things in life, desperation and hopelessness lie just around the corner. When Carlo bumps into a former flame (Monica Bellucci), the floodgates of passion are opened. Meanwhile, the other characters must confront demons of their own. After a near-fatal tragedy, the family is finally forced to confront its downward spiral.Muccino's bittersweet drama critically yet empathetically captures the lives of these tender souls. He uses sweeping Steadicam cinematography to reflect the swirling emotions within each character, and layers the picture with stacks of pop music. But Muccino's greatest talent lies in casting. As the conflicted Carlo, Bentivoglio shines, while Romanoff and Muccino (the director's brother) are completely natural in their roles. But the film's real standouts are Morante and Bellucci, two of the world's most beautiful actresses, who somehow manage to present themselves with a heartbreakingly believable fragility.DVD Features:Region (unknown)Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Audio: Dolby Digital Surround 5.1 EnglishAdditional Release Material: Previews

Screenwriter David Atkins (ARIZONA DREAM) makes his directorial debut with the black comedy NOVOCAINE. Frank Sangster (Steve Martin), a nice-guy dentist with a thriving practice, shares his perfectly ordered, successful life with his cheerily plastic hygienist-fiancee, Jean (Laura Dern). Frank's structured world is suddenly flipped upside down when his good-for-nothing brother, Harlan (Elias Koteas), comes to town and a dangerously attractive drug-seeking patient, Susan (Helena Bonham-Carter), shows up in his office. When Susan absconds with the office's narcotics supply, Frank is too smitten by her bad-girl beauty to turn her into the DEA. Instead, he constructs a web of lies, carelessly jeopardizing his practice and future marriage, just to see the femme fatale again. Frank's troubles multiply when Susan's violent junkie brother, Duane (Scott Caan), discovers the budding dentist-patient relationship and Susan wishes aloud that Duane would just disappear.Atkins' absurdist take on the time-honored conventions of film noir features strong performances, particularly from Dern as the intensely chipper Jean, and from Kevin Bacon in a wry cameo. The gruesome finale can take its place alongside MARATHON MAN in the annals of cinematic dental horror.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseAnamorphic WidescreenAudio: Dolby Digital 5.1 - EnglishAdditional Release Material: Trailers Featurette - THE MAKING OF NOVOCAINE Deleted Scenes Documentary - BITTEN Audio Commentary - 1.

Popular during the 1980s, this sitcom stars Scott Baio (HAPPY DAYS) as Charles, an unlikely yet loveable nanny. In the first season, the 19-year-old college student gets a gig taking care of three kids whose parents have busy working schedules. Invited to live in their home, Charles juggles his child-rearing responsibilities with attempts to have a normal college life. Between romances, hanging out with his best friend Buddy Lembeck (WILLIE AAMES), and keeping three pre-teens in check, Charles has his hands full. The first season of CHARLES IN CHARGE was unique because it was the only season to star the Pembroke family. The show got cancelled after its debut season, but in an unusual move, was brought back to television a few years later. When the show returned, it featured an entirely different family, the Powells. This release includes 22 episodes, including the series pilot. Just a few of the stars who appear as quests are Christina Applegate, Matthew Perry, and Meg Ryan. CHARLES IN CHARGE- THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON also includes a preview episode from the show`s second season.
