BUY FROM AMAZON

Product Description: In the 1978 black comedy from director Peter Medak, Graham Chapman - just prior to LIFE OF BRIAN - stars as happily married Arthur Harris, who becomes suicidal when his wife suddenly leaves him. Unable to complete the task himself, he asks a strange handyman (BAFTA Award winner Sir David Jason of Only Fools And Horses, in a role once intended for Keith Moon) to kill him instead. But when Arthur's wife comes back, he discovers that his homicidal hire has every intention of finishing the job. Diana Quick (Brideshead Revisited), Carolyn Seymour (THE RULING CLASS), Simon Williams (JABBERWOCKY), Bill Paterson (Fleabag) and Richard O'Brien (THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW) co-star in this "crazy comedy" (Travalanche) co-written by Chapman with Bernard McKenna (YELLOWBEARD) and produced by Mark Forstater (MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL), now scanned in 2K from Peter Medak's personal 35mm print.

THE GHOST OF PETER SELLERS (2018) - Peter Medak's Documentary New on Blu-ray

BUY FROM AMAZON

Product Description: In 1973, Peter Sellers - then at the peak of his box-office power and comedic genius - invited Peter Medak - whose recent smash THE RULING CLASS had been nominated for the Palme d'Or and an Oscar® - to direct a 17th century pirate epic called GHOST IN THE NOONDAY SUN. But with soon-to-be-discovered nightmares that included an unfinished script (re-written by co-star and fellow comedy legend Spike Milligan), rough seas, sinking ships and Sellers' own wildly erratic behavior, the production became an unprecedented catastrophe. The barely completed film was dumped into very limited release, and the director's career and spirit were nearly destroyed by the experience. Over four decades later, Medak revisits this personal and professional fiasco to search for answers - and possibly redemption - in a journey that's been called "jaw-dropping" (The Hollywood Reporter), "nightmarishly funny" (Rolling Stone) and "one of the great 'making-of' documentaries of all-time." (San Francisco Chronicle)

Product Description: Having just returned from a mission to Mars, Commander Ross (Justin Lazard) isn't exactly himself. He's slowly becoming a terrifying alien entity with a one track mind - to procreate with human women. When countless women suffer gruesome deaths after bearing half-alien offspring, scientist Laura Baker (Marg Helgenberger) and hired assassin Press Lennox (Michael Madsen) use Eve (Natasha Henstridge), a more tempered alien clone, to find Ross and his virulent brood. But they underestimate Eve's maternal drive, and before long she escapes to mate with Ross in order to create a purer and unstoppable race that could spell doom for mankind. As time is running out, the ultimate battle of human brain over alien brawn takes place in a chilling climax that puts Darwin's theory to the ultimate test and only the strongest species will survive.
