The Original Christmas Classics Box Set For the very first time, four of the
holiday’s most loved animated stop motion classics are being presented on Blu-Ray. Christmas of 2010 marks the 40th anniversary of the original television airing of Santa Claus is Comin’ To Town, a delightful Rankin/Bass production which tells the tale of how Santa Claus and his yearly Christmas traditions came to be. Voicing two of the main characters are Hollywood legends, Fred Astaire as the narrator and Mickey Rooney as Claus. Beware of the Winter Warlock! An ad- ditional array of holiday favorites such as Frosty the Snowman, Rudolph the Red-Nose Reindeer and Frosty Returns are included in the set. Available now.
Shrek: The Whole Story Quadrilogy If Frosty is a little too old-school for you or maybe your parents made you
watch it every year during the holi- day…here’s a bit more grown-up and sophisticated animation. All four Shrek films, beginning with Shrek from 2001 and
concluding with Shrek Forever After, are included in the box set. Also a must-have for this time of year, the set includes over four and a half hours of special features including
“Donkey’s Christmas Shrektacular,” deleted scenes and filmmaker’s commentary. Avail- able December 7.
The Films of Rita Hayworth Of worth noting is this new collection of films from the legendary beauty, actress and dancer, Rita Hayworth. Her reign at Columbia Studios in the 1940s and 1950s created countless films that have remained timeless to this day because of her talents to bring them to life. Whether playing an aspiring dancer, one of the Bible’s most tempestuous women [Salome], a so-called prostitute or a tortured woman in love,
The Perils of Praline Marshall Thornton Local Southern California author Marshall Thornton has crafted a wickedly funny and sexy
novel on…as he calls it, “the amorous adventures of a Southern gentleman in Hollywood.” All the characters one would expect in the City of Angels for a gay man appear, such as a reality TV star, the
Godfather of the Gay Mafia and a casting agent who manages to keep our sweet little Southern Praline out of the clutches of sexual and emotional danger. Will Praline find real romance in tinsel town or just a mess of hot sex? This is a witty and captivating novel that is deserving of a good read. Available now.
Hayworth deservedly earned the moniker of “love god- dess.” Five films [Tonight and Every Night, Salome, Miss Sadie Thompson, Cover Girl and Gilda] are presented. All- new commentary is provided by Baz Luhrman, Patricia Clarkson and Richard Schickel, who each weigh in on her films and remarkable talent and beauty. Available December 2.
