Larryboy and the Rumor Weed

In this classic VeggieTales installment, Junior Asparagus and Laura Carrot find out how easily gossip spreads when they unintentionally tell a fib about Larryboy's butler, Alfred.

Bonus material includes Easter eggs, a trivia game and an interactive storybook.

The Immaculate Conception of Little Dizzle

Posted:


Downsized into taking a job as a nighttime janitor, computer engineer Dory (Marshall Allman) and his fellow custodians become the unwitting subjects of an experiment that involves vision-inducing cookies. But -- as Dory and his pals soon discover -- hallucinations aren't the only thing the cookies spawn inside those who eat them. David Russo directs this trippy comedy that co-stars Natasha Lyonne, Tania Raymonde and Vince Vieluf.

Exit Through the Gift Shop

Posted:


Filmmaker Thierry Guetta had been casually documenting the underground world of street art for years, but when he encounters Banksy, an elusive British stencil artist, his project takes a fascinating twist. Unimpressed with Guetta's footage, Banksy takes over filmmaking duties and Guetta reinvents himself as a street artist named Mr. Brainwash -- and, much to Banksy's surprise, immediately becomes a darling of the Los Angeles art scene.

The Trotsky

Posted:


Seventeen-year-old Leon Bronstein (Jay Baruchel) thinks he is the reincarnation of Russian October Revolution leader Leon Trotsky, thus staging a strike at his father's (Saul Rubinek) factory and then a student walkout at his new school. Film legend Geneviève Bujold appears as the head of the school board in writer-director Jacob Tierney's "revolting" comedy. Emily Hampshire, Justin Bradley, Kaniehtiio Horn and Jesse Rath also co-star.

Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work

Posted:


Documentarians Ricki Stern and Annie Sundberg provide an uncompromising glimpse into the personal and professional life of comedian and red-carpet mainstay Joan Rivers, a woman clinging stubbornly and steadfastly to the pop-culture bandwagon. Stern and Sundberg -- whose previous film, The Devil Came on Horseback, covered the Darfur genocide -- take a no-less-intensive approach to their subject here, taking a hard look at fame's bitter toll.

Double Take

Filmmaker Johan Grimonprez explores the period of the Cold War and the effect of advertising and Hollywood on the American people in this innovative blend of documentary and fiction focusing on Alfred Hitchcock's themes surrounding identity. Written by award-winning British novelist Tom McCarthy, the film considers the era's prosperity and paranoia, its political and social events, and Hitchcock's fondness for characters meeting their doubles.

After suing Mugabe for racial discrimination and human rights violations, the 75-year-old Campbell must brace his family to face potentially life-threatening retaliation.
