Andrew Davies isn't much of household name in the U.S., but he's the king of the BBC mini-series. His skillfully adapted scripts for Pride & Prejudice (the beloved Colin Firth version) and many, many more are peerless examples of classic novels done right--cunningly edited and shaped to let all the rich emotion and sharp intelligence spill over with zip and vigor. Bleak House is no exception; it's one of the best Dickens adaptations to date. The mini-series form allows Dickens' panoramic view, brimming with eccentric characters and complex turns of plot, to sprawl out without losing an iota of suspense or momentum. Two innocent young orphans (Patrick Kennedy and Carey Mulligan) are the potential heirs to a fortune, but their fates are snarled in a monumental legal battle known as Jarndyce and Jarndyce. But the heart of the story is another orphan, Esther Summerson (Anna Maxwell Martin), whose mysterious parentage proves to be intertwined with the fate of the Jarndyce wards and the aloof Lady Dedlock (Gillian Anderson, The X-Files). Dickens' story twines through an excoriating vision of the legal system to heartbreaking domestic drama to a murder investigation to near-Gothic horror, all broken into utterly delicious half-hour segments (after the hour-long opening episode). Martin is utterly beguiling, homely at one moment and luminous the next; Anderson's grippingly eerie and brittle performance will delight her fans. But to single out anyone seems absurd, because every character--from the vicious lawyer Tulkinghorn (Charles Dance, White Mischief) to the foppish parasite Skimpole (Nathaniel Parker, The Inspector Lynley Mysteries) to the simpering clerk Guppy (Burn Gorman)--is intricately drawn, all hitting a mesmerizing balance between caricature and stark emotional honesty. Bleak House demonstrates that humor, pathos, and social criticism can all be contained in one wonderfully entertaining package. --Bret Fetzer

In a career that has seen innumerable highlights, Neil Young's HARVEST is the album that put the former Buffalo Springfield troubadour on the mainstream map. Including the megahit "Heart of Gold" (with background vocals by Linda Ronstadt), HARVEST also features some of Young's darkest compositions, like the entropy-obsessed "Old Man" and the junkie eulogy "The Needle and the Damage Done." The underlying tone of hopeful sadness also permeates several of the album's most recognizable tracks ("Harvest," "A Man Needs a Maid"), which ache with a timelessness that never grows wearisome.This multi-platinum, classic album proved to be Young's best-selling effort. The perfect blend of country, rock, and blues, HARVEST helped to make Young the legend he is today, and in turn inspired a generation of imitators. This DVD-Audio release enhances the original album's production with mixes designed specifically for the format.

For a band with such an overarching legacy, the official record of Led Zeppelin's legendary--and unpredictable--live act has heretofore been poorly represented by the disappointing, scattershot soundtrack to The Song Remains the Same. But this triple-disc live set (culled from 1972 Long Beach/LA shows in advance of Houses of the Holy) addresses history with a vengeance, if a few decades late. These shows have rightfully assumed cult status in the bootleg market, showcasing a band at the peak of its creative and performing powers. Zep faithful will welcome the belated release as evidence for enduring loyalty, but younger fans may find its diversity and dynamics even more enlightening--indeed, whole careers have since been built on the musical ideas Jimmy Page and company toss off here as decorative filler. Crucially rooted in the amped-and-hammered American blues of the guitarist's former band, the Yardbirds, the marathon workouts of "Dazed and Confused" and "Whole Lotta Love" (which consume nearly an hour all by themselves) somehow encompass Ricky Nelson, Morocco, James Brown, Holst, Elvis Presley, and Muddy Waters amidst their trademark sturm und drang, while the acoustic set that closes out disc one showcases the band's--and particularly Robert Plant's--good-natured, crypto-Celtic folk appeal with energetic aplomb. Bigger and brasher than just about any rock act that followed in its historic wake, yet ever fan-loyal to its myriad influences, Led Zeppelin's live juggernaut finally gets the monument it deserves. --Jerry McCulley

Did you know that addiction is a complex problem that involves the physical, emotional and behavioral well-being and mental health of individuals and family groups? It could be that you are thinking about alcohol addiction. However, it's more than just alcohol. You can be addicted, for example, either physically or psychologically to gambling or legal substances such as Codeine or cough mixture. People can be addicted to shopping, to exercise, to work, to pornography, to sex, to computer surfing, to playing WOW (World of Warcraft) - and one can use WOW as a word to represent many internet games. In this one-hour DVD with Audio CD training, Expert Emotional Wealth Counselor Karen Gosling explains how to survive your addiction. We are all at risk at various times of participating in addictive types of activities. We turn to them when we feel a negative emotion - and it might not be some dark secret that we have from the past or some abusive childhood that we had, it might just be a normal negative feeling of being bored. That's okay if you can close off the activity when your circumstances change and when your attention is needed somewhere else. Then you are not addicted. The activity per se is not a problem. But an addictive agent has social and relationship implications if you end up choosing the addictive agent instead of a relationship. Karen's training will explain how to handle your addiction and examine co-dependency; this is when you focus all your attention and your life energy on looking after the addict or spend all your time meeting the needs of other people, or when you sacrifice your own goals and hobbies and interests to look after the addict thereby rejecting aspects of yourself. The DVD and audio mp3 file can be watched or listened to in your own time and at your own pace, in the privacy of your own home. Plus you get the bonus audio transcript to read at your leisure.

No original hand-colored copies of A Trip to the Moon (Le Voyage dans la Lune - 1902), by Georges Méliès, had been known to survive until one was miraculously found in Spain in the mid-1990s, but in a fragmentary condition thought too fragile to handle for either viewing or restoration. In 2010, three experts in worldwide film restoration - Lobster Films, and two non-profit entities, Groupama Gan Foundation for Cinema and Technicolor Foundation for Cinema Heritage - launched one of the most complex and ambitious film restoration projects ever to bring an original, colored version of Méliès masterpiece back 110 years after its first release. Using the most advanced digital technologies now available, the team reassembled and restored the fragments of the 13,375 frames. The two foundations, which carried out specifically the music part of this project, decided to approach AIR s Nicolas Godin and Jean-Benoit Dunckel, to compose an original modern soundtrack to accompany this cinematic milestone. Flicker Alley is pleased present this brand new restoration which also features The Extraordinary Voyage, a fascinating new documentary, directed by Serge Bromberg and Eric Lange. The Extraordinary Voyage chronicles the journey of A Trip to the Moon from the fantastical Méliès production in 1902, to the astonishing rediscovery of a nitrate print in color in 1993, to the premiere of the new restoration on the opening night of the Cannes Film Festival in 2011. The documentary includes interviews with contemporary filmmakers, including Costa Gavras, Michel Gondry, Michel Hazanavicius, and Jean-Pierre Jeunet on Méliès enduring significance to cinema. BONUS FEATURES: This publication also contains A Trip to the Moon in a beautifully restored black and white edition from original 35 mm elements with two separate audio tracks of music: An orchestral score by Robert Israel with the original English narration written by Méliès; and a second track produced by Russell Merritt consisting of a troupe of actors voicing the various characters as performed in the U.S. in 1903, with piano music by Frederick Hodges. There is also an interview with the group AIR discusing their new soundtrack, and two lunar-related shorts by Méliès - The Eclipse (1904) and The Astronomer's Dream (1898).
