The Exorcist: Extended Director's Cut (1973) Dir. William Friedkin; Stars Ellen Burstyn, Max von Sydow, Jason Miller, Linda Blair, Lee J. Cobb, Kitty Winn, Jack MacGowran. Academy Award-winning director William Friedkin's masterpiece of suspense that haunted, intrigued, and thrilled the world, is coming to standard DVD and Blu-ray again, but this time remastered in the Extended Director's Cut. A true cinema landmark, this theological thriller is one of the top 10 box office performers of all time. "The Exorcist" went on to win two Academy Awards and became a multi-million dollar franchise. When the movie was first released in 1973, viewers were blown away. Audience members were frightened out of their wits -- and literally out of their seats. Some ran out of the theater; others got physically ill or couldn't sleep for weeks. Newly remastered in 1080p from the original camera negative, the Blu-ray version includes both the remastered Extended Director's Cut as well as the remastered theatrical version of the film. According to Friedkin, "After my final cut of the original 'The Exorcist,' I took out 12 more minutes before we actually released it in theaters. Years later, Bill Blatty asked if I'd consider reviewing some of that rejected footage (which he always felt should have remained) with an eye towards putting it into a new version. Bill gave me the best piece of material I've ever received and because of that and because the film had such a major reputation over some 25 years, I agreed to revisit all these scenes. When I saw them, I came to realize that Bill was, in fact, right. With technical advances, scenes that didn't work then could now be fixed with CGI and there were others that I thought strengthened the spiritual aspect of the film. Warner agreed and released a whole new theatrical print in 2000 which we called 'The Exorcist: The Version You've Never Seen.' And I now agree with Blatty that this is the best and most complete version." Standard DVD with Extended Cut only, extras: Commentary by William Friedkin; trailers, TV spots & radio spots from the film's 2000 release. The Blu-ray edition will be packaged with a personal letter written by Friedkin inside a 40-page Blu-ray Digibook featuring photos, cast bios, revealing production notes and more.

The Best Government Money Can Buy (2010) First behind-the-scenes examination of the lobbying system and its influence on our elected candidates. The January 2010 Supreme Court decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission (FEC) pushed the door wide open for corporations to spend unlimited funds to advocate or defeat the election efforts of federal candidates. These 2010 mid-term elections are expected to be the most expensive campaigns on record. There are already 14,000 officially registered lobbyists working on behalf of special interest -- which averages to 26 lobbyists to every member of Congress -- and over $6.7 billion spent in the last two years to influence them. Veteran documentary filmmaker Francis Megahy takes a non-partisan stance in a comprehensive examination of the influence of K Street on our elected official. The biggest source of campaign funds comes from large corporations, channeled through their lobbyists. As a result, the number of lobbyists has more than doubled since 2000, with spending exceeding $13 Billion. It would be naive to think that their clients don't expect a return on their investment. $19.95. (Cinema Libre Studio).

Score (1974) Celebrated and ground-breaking soft-core erotic director Radley Metzger's film about a liberated '70s couple that seduces another couple into experimentation with bisexuality and group-sex. Based on a 1971 hit Off-Broadway play that starred 25-year-old Sylvester Stallone in the role of Mike, a horny telephone repairman, played in the film by Carl Parker.

The young couple is played by Lynn Lowry, who starred in the horror classics "The Crazies" and "I Drink Your Blood," and Cal Culver, who became an early gay icon thanks to his standout performance in 1971's "Boys in the Sand." Uncut and uncensored. Extras: Behind-the-scenes featurette with Claire Wilbur, Lynn Lowry, Cal Culver, Gerald Grant, Carl Parker and Radley Metzger; new interview with Lynn Lowry; commentary track by Radley Metzger and film historian Michael Bowen; trailers.

Who Is Harry Nilsson (And Why Is Everybody Talkin' About Him)? (2010) The film profiles the extraordinary life and career of the enigmatic Harry Nilsson, considered by many music critics and peers to be one of the best singer-songwriters of his time. Nilsson was also famous for being The Beatles' favorite "group." Combines interviews with Harry's friends and colleagues, rare and never-before-seen archival footage, home movies and excerpts from Nilsson's recently discovered oral autobiography. The documentary features interviews with Micky Dolenz, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Al Kooper, Randy Newman, Yoko Ono, Van Dyke Parks, The Smothers Brothers, Jimmy Webb, Paul Williams, Robin Williams, Brian Wilson and many more as well as members of the Nilsson family. A brilliantly gifted songwriter, his work has been covered by a wide range of artists (The Monkees to Harry Belafonte, Blood Sweat & Tears to Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass, Three Dog Night to Ella Fitzgerald, Aimee Mann to Barbra Streisand). And yet, with an irony that was typical of his career, his greatest fame and success came as a singer of other people's songs. Nilsson was the recipient of 17 Gold Records (in addition to his two Grammy Awards for "Everybody's Talkin'" and "Without You") and yet, never cut his music to fit mainstream fashion. He was also considered to be peerless as a wild man, a legendary party animal who could drink John Lennon and Keith Moon under the table -- while also being known as a devoted husband and father. Intertwined throughout the doc are rare performances from two BBC specials, promo films, music videos, home movies, as well as excerpts from the Oscar-winning film, Midnight Cowboy and an unfinished documentary about the recording of the Harry's 1972 album "Son of Schmilsson." Extras: More than 90 minutes of bonus material, including deleted scenes, extended sequences, an alternate ending, and a rarely seen music video of Yoko Ono's song, "Loneliness" with commentary by Yoko.
