. | DAZED AND CONFUSED
(VHS) $9.98
Starring: London, Jason McConaughey, Matthew Cochrane, Rory Adams, Joey Lauren Jensen, Sasha Wiggins, Wiley Burke, Michelle Goldberg, Adam Rapp, Anthony Ribisi, Marissa Jovovich, Milla Directing: Linklater, Richard Rating: R (MPAA) Run Time: 103 minutes Audio: Stereo Surround Description: Richard Linklater's DAZED AND CONFUSED takes a hysterical, nostalgic cross-clique look at high school social development. On the last day of school in May 1976, students at a suburban Texas high school wait, lackadaisically, for classes to end. The restless almost-seniors--an eclectic group of stone-heads, fraternal jocks, and snobby sorority girls--can't wait to haze the incoming freshman, an annual event as harrowing for freshman boys as it is humiliating for girls. Amidst this teenage wasteland of drugs, partying, and rock and roll is football star Pink (Jason London), who saves scrawny pre-frosh Mitch (Wiley Wiggins) from being paddled to oblivion by upper-classmates. But Pink has his own battles: he's struggling over the head coach's demand that football players sign a pledge to abstain from sex and all psychoactive substances. |

FRIDAY - SPECIAL
EDITION (VHS)
$14.95
WIDE SCREEN - WILL PLAY ON REGULAR TV OR WIDE-SCREEN Starring: Tucker, Chris Cube, Ice Long, Nia King, Regina Mac, Bernie Witherspoon, John Lister, Tiny Horsford, Anna Maria Parker, Paula Jai Love, Faizon Means, Angela Directing: Gray, F. Gary Rating: R (MPAA) Run Time: 91 minutes Audio: Dolby Surround Notes: Widescreen Special Edition Description: Thoroughly charming and totally hilarious day-in-the-life comedy in which co-writer Ice Cube plays the stoic Craig opposite Chris Tucker's Smokey, a brilliantly rendered hyperactive marijuana enthusiast. The two twentysomethings, Craig recently wrongly fired and Smokey terminally slacking and scamming, barely make it through one highly eventful day. Eloquent commentary on themes like community, family, friendship, and violence is seamlessly blended with lighter treatments of young romance, bathroom emergencies, nosy neighbors and much more. Casually impeccable performances by the entire cast make this film a standout. |

THINGS ARE TOUGH
ALL OVER (VHS) $9.95
CHEECH & CHONG Starring: Chong, Tommy Marin, Cheech Marin, Rikki Fiddis, Shelby Directing: Avildsen, Tom Rating: R (MPAA) Run Time: 92 minutes Description: In this, their fourth film, Cheech & Chong play dual roles. The boys play Arabian brothers Prince Habib (Tommy Chong) and Mr. Slyman (Cheech Marin), who hire the "real" Cheech and Chong to drive a car--filled with 5 million dollars--from Chicago to Las Vegas. Needless to say, the trip is not uneventful. After the boneheaded boys sell pieces of the car to make the trip, their employers want to kill them! Slightly lighter on the marijuana humor than their previous efforts, THINGS ARE TOUGH ALL OVER is also regarded by many fans as one of the dopey duo's best screen efforts. |

Without giving away too many clues, it can be said that a pink tutu and a red quaalude are involved. ITA winner. |
