Journey into the extreme and unforgettable world of a man decimated by loss...when Keane arrives on DVD on March 21. Including a unprecedented DVD bonus feature, the DVD includes a complete alternate cut of the film by Executive Producer Steven Soderbergh. Featuring a powerhouse performance by Damian Lewis (An Unfinished Life, “Band of Brothers”) that earned him a nomination for the Breakthrough Award at the 2005 Gotham Awards, where Keane was also nominated for Best Film. Keane earned the Critics Award and a Jury Special Prize at the 2005 Deauville Film Festival, where it also received a nomination for the Grand Special Prize.

A LEAGUE OF ORDINARY GENTLEMEN

Magnolia Home Entertainment takes you down the back alley of bowling in the hit documentary A League of Ordinary Gentlemen, debuting on DVD March 21, 2006. In the world of pins, balls and frames three men take it upon themselves to single handedly save the sport of bowling. Staring pro bowlers Wayne Webb, Chris Barnes, Pete Weber and Walter Ray Williams, this “skillful, amusing, insightful documentary” (Christy Lemire, Associated Press) follows ex-Nike executive, Steve Miller as he works to save bowling from the brink of extinction and raise it to new heights. In 2000, three former Microsoft executives scooped up the entire apparatus of professional bowling -- its players, tournaments, trademarks and trophies, all for about five million dollars and assumption of the league’s debt. Their stated goal was to save bowling from the brink of extinction and raise it to new heights. The film focuses on Miller and four of his charges, professional bowlers at very different places in their careers, and their sometimes funny, sometimes sad adventures on tour as professional athletes - albeit the Rodney Dangerfields of professional sports.

BUKOWSKI: BORN INTO THIS

From the bottom of the bottle to becoming a poetic icon, Charles Bukowski’s life is brought to life in the comprehensive documentary Bukowski: Born Into This, available March 21 on DVD from Magnolia Home Entertainment. Known as much for his drinking, cussing and womanizing as he was for his brilliant poems this “often-brilliant, often-reverent documentary deconstructs Bukowski's bad-boy literary persona, finds a fascinatingly messed-up guy behind the words” (M. E. Russell, Portland Oregonian)

Bukowski: Born Into This is the first comprehensive documentary of Charles Bukowski (1920-1994) and while longtime fans will find confirmation of the Bukowski they’d always imagined, there are plenty of surprises in store. The film traces his extraordinary life, from an abusive childhood through decades of poverty and alcoholism; numerous menial jobs and turbulent relationships; through 14 years as a postal employee; and his eventual international celebrity as a poet, novelist and underground cult icon. In his lifetime, Bukowski became most widely known as the screenwriter and real-life model for Barfly, the feature film based on his early life.
