Today’s New Releases
If you are a fan of TV shows, or TV stars who have made the leap to the big
screen then this is your week for video and DVD releases!
Up first, the film that tries to answer questions like:
Why are we here, what’s life all about?
Is God really real, or is there some doubt?
Well tonight, we’re going to sort it all out
For tonight it’s the Meaning of Life.
Over the course of time many theologians, writers and philosophers have
unsuccessfully examined the meaning of life. It took the collective minds
that are Monty Python to provide us with the answer. MONTY PYTHON’S THE
MEANING OF LIFE explains everything one could conceivably needs to know
about the perplexities of human existence, from the mysteries of Catholic
doctrine to the miracle of reproduction to why one should avoid the salmon
mousse to the critical importance of the machine that goes ping!
Sadly, this was the last original Python film, but I think they saved the
best for last. MONTY PYTHON’S THE MEANING OF LIFE is not a film for
everyone, but if you like witty humour you’ll laugh, you’ll cry. And you may
even learn something about the Meaning of Life.
Either way I assure you that you will never think of wafer thin mints the
same way again.

In the thriller IDENTITY ten people stranded at a roadside motel begin
disappearing one-by-one. John Cusack from CON AIR and Ray Liotta of HANNIBAL are just two of the ten and even though they’re very good in the film, and you probably won’t figure things out right away, once everything is revealed
the movie gets pretty boring.

THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON OF ALIAS; SEASON TWO OF ANGEL; CSI: CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION – THE SECOND SEASON; SAVED BY THE BELL – SEASONS 1 & 2; and the complete second season of XENA WARRIOR PRINCESS.
