In The Loop (Blu-ray) (Widescreen) : The run-up to war makes for curious rivalries and uneasy alliances in this political satire from director and co-screenwriter Armando Iannucci. Simon Foster (Tom Hollander) is a minor minister of international development with the British government who, in the midst of a radio interview, casually tells a reporter "war is unforeseeable." However, the prime minister is being pressured to commit British troops to support American forces in the Middle East, and communications director Malcolm Tucker (Peter Capaldi) goes into a tirade when the press turns Foster's passing comment into a major news story. Foster becomes an unwitting media figure, and he and his personal communications director, Judy (Gina McKee), are joined by political damage control expert Toby (Chris Addison) as they're sent to Washington, D.C., to meet with American political and military leaders. Despite Judy's and Toby's help, Foster displays a stubborn inability to say what he's supposed to, and he finds himself caught in the middle between pro-war factions - including diplomat Karen Clarke (Mimi Kennedy) and State Departm...

The Bromeliad Trilogy by Terry Pratchett, ISBN 0060094931 : In a world whose seasons are defined by Christmas sales and Spring Fashions, hundreds of tiny nomes live in the corners and crannies of a human-run department store. They have made their homes beneath the floorboards for generations and no longer remember -- or even believe in -- life beyond the Store walls. Until the day a small band of nomes arrives at the Store from the Outside. Led by a young nome named Masklin, the Outsiders carry a mysterious black box (called the Thing), and they deliver devastating news: In twenty-one days, the Store will be destroyed. Now all the nomes must learn to work together, and they must learn to think -- and to think BIG. Part satire, part parable, and part adventure story par excellence, master storyteller Terry Pratchett's engaging trilogy traces the nomes' flight and search for safety, a search that leads them to discover their own astonishing origins and takes them beyond their wildest dreams.

Eric Bogosian: Wake Up And Smell The Coffee : Eric Bogosian shines in his freshly-brewed "Wake Up and Smell The Coffee." A profoundly insightful and wickedly provocative performer, Obie Award winner Eric Bogosian "Talk Radio" has never shied away from the disturbing truths in life. Frequently compared to comedic social commentators Lenny Bruce and Spalding Gray, Bogosian keeps his finger on the pulse of our collective fears while satirizing contemporary American values. Based upon his critically acclaimed stage how, "Wake Up and Smell The Coffee" is Bogosian skewers pop culture,conformity, religious hypocrisy and human nature itself with a razor-sharp wit. Whether he's playing Satan as a modern-day salesman, a Hollywood producer capitalizing on an airplane disaster, a spiritual guru with questionable motives, or mocking himself as an obsequious actor auditioning for a part, Bogosian tackles today's relevant, post-9/11 themes with uncompromising honesty. Interactive Menus, Scene Selection. "Dazzlingly funny new solo show!" -New York Daily News, "A glorious cacophony of voices!" -Boston Globe, "The most thematically satisfying of ...

Almost Perfect Affair, An (Widescreen) : Director Michael Ritchie, well respected for his perceptive satirical jabs at American society in such diverse films as "The Bad News Bears", "Semi-Tough", and "Smile", presents us with a charming love story while he delivers a gentle swipe at his own movie making industry. Set in the midst of the frenzied goings-on of the Cannes Film Festival (many sequences were actually filmed during the 1976 event), this romantic comedy concerns the relationship between a young idealistic American film-maker (Keith Carradine) and the beautiful wife of a powerful Italian producer (Monica Vitti). Of course, they fall passionately in love.

Un Dia Sin Mexicanos (A Day Without A Mexican) (Widescreen) : The California Dream becomes a hilarious nightmare when the Golden State's entire Latin American population mysteriously vanishes. For most, "the disappearance" forces the cracks in their private lives wide open, including TV news reporter Lila Rodriguez (Yareli Arizmendi - "Like Water For Chocolate"), the state's last remaining Hispanic, and Senator Steven Abercrombie III (John Getz - "The Fly," "Curly Sue"), who becomes governor pro tem despite his anti-immigrant stance. In the ensuing panic, dubious experts pose some colorful theories: It's an alien abduction; an act of bio-terrorism; "The Rapture" has begun and Latinos are God's chosen. Confusion, misunderstandings and humorous situations abound, making "A Day Without A Mexican" a comedic satire and a modern fable with a very current message. This sleeper hit, which features the final film appearance by Mexican heart-throb Eduardo Palomo, delighted and inspired both English- and Spanish-speaking audiences during its theatrical run, and will continue to do so for years to come. Behind..."A Day Without A Mexican"; Outtakes; The origina...

S.F.W. (Widescreen) : Stephen Dorff and Reese Witherspoon are slacker teens who discover that fame can be a four-letter word in this raucous send-up of the cult of celebrity. Featuring "hilarious moments" (Movieline), "brash drama" (Los Angeles Times) and an ending that "packs all the wit and satirical edge [you] could hope for" (Entertainment Today), "S.F.W." is a cult classic...to swear by. Held captive for 36 days by terrorists who broadcast their ordeal live on network news, Cliff (Dorff) and Wendy (Witherspoon) have become national idols whose words are parroted by the masses. But when they finally escape, only to be hounded by reporters and sold out by "friends," TV's most popular hostages realize they're still prisoners - this time, of the media - and the only place left to run...is to each other.

Dispatches from the Tenth Circle: The Best of the Onion by Robert Siegel, ISBN 0609808346 : "The Onion is laugh-out-loud, go-tell-your-friends, get-angry-you-didn't-think-of-it funny." -Conan O'Brien "Outside of maybe Dario Fo, an Italian who few are sure exists, the Onion people make the most consistently perfect and excoriating social commentary we currently have. But will those Nobel bastards honor them, too? Only God, our merciless and just God, knows." -Dave Eggers "The funniest publication in the United States." -Th"e New Yorker "This publication is tasteless and destructive to our shared values. Read it for yourself and you'll see what I mean. Seriously, what else could make me laugh-much less laugh uproariously-while being offended week after week after week?" -Al Gore "The Onion is the funniest thing in news since Dan Rather's spooky stare." -Matt Groening "Brutal satire that rushes into the far reaches of race, class, sexuality, and culture where many publications-and critics-fear to tread." -"Chicago Tribune "The Onion, unlike any other entity in our media culture, offers a refreshingly honest look at our complicated life.
