• Clarissa Explains It All: Season One, courtesy Nickelodeon
This classic Snick sitcom featured plot lines geared directly towards teenagers
and launched the career of Melissa Joan Hart. Joining Clarissa's many adventures
were her annoying little brother Ferguson, Janet her health nut mom, Marshall
her architect dad, and Sam her ladder climbing next door neighbor. Unlike other
shows in its genre, Clarissa stepped out of the action to speak directly to the
audience, letting them in on every little nuance of her ever changing life. Two
lucky winners will return to the early '90s with CLARISSA EXPLAINS IT ALL:
SEASON ONE, courtesy of the television historians at Nickelodeon.
• The Adventures Of Pete And Pete: Season One, courtesy Nickelodeon
It's a surreal comedy in which the seemingly peaceful suburban neighborhood of
Wellsville is actually a strange and skewed world, when seen through the eyes of
two pre-teens. The show features many unique characters, such as: two brothers
both named Pete, their mom with a metal plate in her head, Artie the
spandex-wearing super-hero, and Petunia, little Pete's tattoo. This set features
all eight episodes from the first season, along with four bonus specials, two
original shorts, the Polaris Music Station featuring the show's popular theme
song, and three exclusive audio commentaries from show co-creators Will McRobb
and Chris Viscardi, as well as director Katherine Dieckmann. Two lucky winners
will each receive a copy of THE ADVENTURES OF PETE AND PETE: SEASON ONE,

• Flaming Lips: Fearless Freaks, courtesy Shout! Factory
The wonderously improbable story of The Flaming Lips -- an intimate look at one
of today's most acclaimed alternative rock groups. Filmmaker Bradley Beasley,
the band's longtime friend and director of all their music videos since 1992,
gives us an insider's look at their 20-year transformation from Oklahoma
outsiders to Grammy-winning elder statesmen. This fascinating documentary
features revealing interviews with band members past and present and includes
amazing footage from throughout their career, capturing the eccentric and
inventive world they created. The bonus disc includes more than an hour of
additional material including deleted scences, outtakes, live clips, and more!

• Sex Pistols: The Great Rock n Roll Swindle, courtesy Shout! Factory
The Sex Pistols star in director Julien Temple's definitive punk movie -- a
bizarre and hilarious fictional documentary that charts the rise and fall of
punk's most notorious band through the eyes of its calculating manager, Malcolm
McLaren. Mixing animation and midgets with footage from some of The Pistols'
most electrifying live performances, this 1980 film presents the band's success
as an elaborate scam perpetrated by McLaren to make one million pounds at the
expense of record companies, outraged moralists, the British Royal Family, the
fans, and even the band members themselves. Most music fans simply consider it
one of the best rock films ever. Two lucky winners will experience Sex
Pistols: The Great Rock n Roll Swindle, courtesy of the music historians at
Shout! Factory.
• Assault On Precinct 13, courtesy Universal
On a stormy New Year's Eve, run-down police Precinct 13 is closing its doors
forever. But everything changes when a high-security prison transport bus
arrives with some of Detroit's most lethal prisoners. Soon, the only thing more
dangerous than the criminals inside is the rogue gang outside. If they're going
to survive the night, two men on opposite sides of the law will have to work
together to battle an enemy who doesn't follow the code of cop or criminal.
Ethan Hawke and Laurence Fishburne lead an explosive, all-star cast, featuring
John Leguizamo, Ja Rule, and Drea de Matteo. One lucky winner will take home a
copy of ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13, courtesy of Universal's men and women in blue.
• White Noise, courtesy Universal
When architect Jonathan Rivers (Michael Keaton) loses his wife in a tragic
accident, he turns to the shadowy, unnerving world of Electronic Voice
Phenomenon (EVP) -- communication from beyond the grave. But as he begins to
penetrate the mysteries of EVP, Jonathan makes a shocking discovery: once a
portal to the other world is opened, thereÕs no telling what will come
through. Explore the unsettling possibility that the dead truly can contact us
-- all we have to do is listen. For those who dare to believe, this release
includes bonus features that explore the eerie EVP phenomenon, including tape of
a live recording session with voices from beyond. One lucky winner will go
beyond this world with a copy of WHITE NOISE, courtesy of the ghostbusters at
