The Blue Angels, In Pursuit of Excellence [VHS]
Blue Angel pilot #2, Lt.Cdr. Mark Dunleavy says, “There’s nothing special about me or any of the other Blue Angels- just the job we get to do is pretty special.” Now you can see just how they get that “job” done- on the ground and from inside their cockpits in the air. This behind the scenes look at the US Navy’s Flight Demonstration Team is a fascinating metaphor for finding something in life that you care about and then pursuing it with a passion to do it the best you possibly can. “I hope that kids who watch this video don’t think this is something that can’t be attained or that they can’t do, because I guarantee you we’ve got jobs on this team that every kid in America could do if they set their minds to it,” Lt.Cdr. Mark Dunleavy, USN. On the surface, it’s a fascinating behind the scenes look at arguably the world’s premiere flight demonstration team. Underneath, it’s filled with messages of what it takes to succeed, in any endeavor, a metaphor for pursuing one’s passion with practice and untiring commitment. As Blue Angel #2, Lt. Cmdr. Mark Dunleavy says, “When I didn’t achieve a goal, I viewed it not as a failure, but rather a setback from which to learn and try again.” And when talking about flying their planes with only a Coke can’s width separating them, Duleavy goes on to say, “We’re not special, just average pilots who get to do something special. And the reason we’re as good as we are is because we practice, practice, practice.” Whether you have a youngster who wants to be a pilot or something entirely different, this is a memorable insight into a remarkable team of American sailors and Marines who represent the best of what our country is. A must see for anyone who loves planes and flying. AWARDS Parent’s Choice Approved Winner

In "The Blue Hour," several strangers in Los Angeles weave their stories of loss and hope, not knowing that their lives have brushed up against each others in small but sometimes profound ways. A multi-ethnic ensemble drama, the film explores the connections between a Mexican graffiti muralist, an Armenian camera repairman, an African- American Blues guitarist and an English pensioner living near the Los Angeles River. Happy is a talented teenage graffiti muralist with a passion for spray paint and Hip Hop. Her playground is the concrete banks of the Los Angeles River. While painting a mural of her trademark Payasa, a sad-faced Lady Clown, she encounters Sal, a mentally challenged homeless man who attempts to make contact with her.

Their apartment overlooks Happy's Payasa mural near the area where their 4-year old daughter Heidi recently drowned. Since Heidi's death, Avo and Allegra have not spoken. As Happy toils on the Payasa, Avo attempts to reconcile with his wife in the wake of the family tragedy. A block away from Avo's apartment, Ridley is a struggling blues guitarist staying in an old hotel by the river. He has returned temporarily to Los Angeles to care for his mother. One night, Ridley hears an enigmatic voice coming from somewhere inside the hotel. Haunted by its mysterious presence, Ridley sets out to discover the source of the voice, running into Sal in the wake of a hit-and-run accident. Humphrey is an aging pensioner living in an apartment overlooking the 'islands' in the river. One morning he wakes up to the sound of Sal screaming on the sidewalk. Having recently lost his wife Ethel, Humphrey spends his days eating lunch by her grave, a few feet from Heidi's resting place where he sees Allegra.
