![]() Slaves of Hollywood [VHS] $19.99 This film is really funny. If you're thinking about working in Hollywood or want to know what it's like, this film is the WALL STREET of the Making-It-In-Hollywood genre. Better than SWIMMING WITH SHARKS and a lot funnier. ![]() Mike Leigh on Mike Leigh (Directors on Directors) $18.00 An insightful collection of original interviews with the innovative director of Secrets & Lies?A five-time Oscar nominee and BAFTA winner and the only British director to have won the top prize at both Cannes (for Secrets & Lies) and Venice (for Vera Drake), Mike Leigh is unquestionably one of world cinema¡Çs preeminent figures. First trained in theater, Leigh devised his own method for the making of first plays and then films, based on months of improvisation and rehearsal with actors prior to shooting. Leigh¡Çs actors invent characters based on real people, each unaware of what the other is up to or the larger design Leigh has in mind. In their commingling of bleakness and humor, Leigh¡Çs films re-create the tragicomic world of people whose everyday lives are far from glamorous: a world in which ¡Èthe done thing¡É usually prevails, contrary to our inner hopes, wants, or needs. Leigh¡Çs work has always reflected its times and entered the vernacular, whether the harsh studies of Meantime and Naked or the humor of the now legendary Abigail¡Çs Party and Nuts in May. Above all, Leigh is an accomplished storyteller, and these films deal with universal themes: births, marriages and deaths, parenthood and failed relationships, families and their secrets and lies. Leigh speaks to Amy Raphael more openly than ever before about his life and inimitable working method, revealing himself as passionate, wise, and the owner of a dry and playful Mancunian wit. ![]() Amy Bento: Kettlebell Dynamics $19.99 Amy tops the list of instructors for me. Her personality is just great and she is really good at creating advanced workouts. This one alternates kettlebell moves with cardio blasts which makes this a very effective routine. She uses a 20 lb. kettlebell and one move even uses 2 kbells - wow. I'm a heavy-weight junkie, so this is right up my alley. Some moves I have to modify or switch to a lighter kbell, but I love the challenge. Also has some premixes and an abdominal section. Amy is always creative with her ab work and this is no exception. If you love kettlebells (not the whimpy 4 lbs that is) then this is for you! ![]() Actress Amy Irving and Husband, Director Producer Steven Spielberg Premium Photographic Poster Print by Ann Clifford, 18x24 $100.00 Actress Amy Irving and Husband, Director Producer Steven Spielberg is digitally printed on archival photographic paper resulting in vivid, pure color and exceptional detail that is suitable for any museum or gallery display.
