Bill Hicks, the “Two and a Half Men Season 6 DVD Boxset” and the most politically satirical comic of his generation, was practically a rock star in England but only really became famous in the US after his death from pancreatic cancer at the age of 32 in 1994. So no surprise that this marvelous documentary portrait of the man and the artist, told through the stories and remembrances of his family, friends and colleagues, comes from the BBC.

Animation is added to the photo gallery that illustrates his journey, just to give the production a little more momentum, and of course the production is filled with footage from007 James Bond 22 Movie Complete Collection DVD Boxset, from rough video footage of his early open mic bits to Los Angeles club gigs to concert halls in Britain, where he played to sold-out crowds. What’s surprising is that there are no testimonials from other comedians, no experts to put his work into perspective. This is all from the people who knew him best.

Richard Rush’s brilliant little backstage drama of illusion and reality and moviemaking sleight of hand earned three Oscar nominations and universally glowing reviews, yet is was barely seen on Damages Seasons 1-3 DVD Boxset initial release and became an almost instant cult classic.

It’s one of the great movie about the Shameless Season 1 DVD Box set and a devious exploration of trust in the line between art and life. Adam Rourke (the star of Rush’s 1960s biker pictures) is the sardonic movie star that Railsback doubles, Alex Rocco the local cop and Allen Goortwitz is marvelous as the nervous screenwriter with moments of genius, but the unheralded class act of the supporting cast is Chuck Bail, the real life stunt coordinator and second unit director turned actor. His stories and experiences helped color the picture and his easy-going performance as the stunt coordinator of the film within a film is natural, warm and confident.

The Life Unexpected Seasons 1-2 DVD Box Set debut from Severin includes four original interview featurettes along with the superb supplements from the earlier Anchor Bay special edition DVD. New to this release is the half-hour interview featurette/career retrospective “The Maverick Career of Richard Rush” and three shorter interview featurettes: “Peter O’Toole Recounts The Stunt Man,” “Devil’s Squadron: An Interview with Steve Railsback and Alex Rocco” and “Barbara Hershey on Nina Franklin,” all offering substantial discussions of the film and the filmmaking. “The Stunt Man at The New Beverly” is a video recording of Rush, Railsback and Hershey at a post-screening Q&A and there are two deleted scenes.

They made their No Ordinary Family Season 1 DVD Box set debut in the cinematically stiff but comically anarchic adaptation of their stage hit “The Cocoanuts”(1929), a satire written by Geroge S. Kaufman and Morrie Ryskind, with music and lyrics by Irving Berlin, set amidst the Florida land boom. Groucho is the manager of a bankrupt hotel hoping to sucker a wealthy matron (Margaret Dumont, Groucho’s favorite foil — she’s been dubbed “the fifth Marx Brother” by fans) when a pair of incompetent con men (Chico and Harpo) upset his ploy. Groucho conducts his classic land auction sequence.
