Willie promises to teach Eugene the song if the young man helps him get back to a Mississippi crossroads, where he can win back his soul from the Devil, which he sold in exchange for musical greatness many decades before.
Making their way across the Mississippi Delta, the duo meets Frances (Jamie Gertz), a runaway who becomes a love interest for Eugene. In the end, the fate of Willie's soul will rely upon his young student to defeat the Devil's henchman (heavy metal virtuoso Steve Vai) in a climactic guitar battle. (Studio Copy)
Following the success of "The Karate Kid," Hollywood wanted to make a star out of lead actor Ralph Macchio and the result was this 1986 film some two years later that incorporates some of the elements and themes from that earlier effort.
While it has its moments - not to mention some great music and a fun electric guitar battle at the end featuring virtuoso Steve Vai of Frank Zappa and other fame - the film loosely plays with the blues legend of Robert Johnson selling his soul to the Devil for his musical prowess and only comes off as sporadically entertaining.

Arnold's Drive-In is their local hangout and meeting place, and lots of hilarious, memorable and classic adventures are the result. Take a trip back to a simpler time and relive all the fun, music and laughs of those good ol' Happy Days -- with this complete first season DVD collection. (Studio Copy)
Fresh off the unexpected success of "American Graffiti" from the year earlier, Ron Howard - Opie Taylor to those who grew up with or just enjoyed watching him on "The Andy Griffith Show" -- embodied a somewhat similar lead character in this long-running sitcom that debuted in 1974. Of course, the show wasn't as hip or edgy as the film, but it tapped into the same nostalgic vein and became an immediate success.
The fun in watching the first season is in how much more innocent and less formulaic these shows seemed compared to what followed, particularly when Winkler unexpectedly become the biggest cultural phenomenon anywhere in the world (he started off as just a somewhat menacing hood, but sans the legendary black leather jacket).
Then there's the fact that the first season also contained Richie's older brother Chuck who was never heard from or referenced again in the show. The series also marked producer Garry Marshall's follow-up to "The Odd Couple" (another show borrowed from a film) and later went on to spawn three spin-offs ("Laverne & Shirley," "Mork & Mindy" and "Joannie Loves Chachi").
If you're a fan of the original show or long for more innocent sitcoms from a decidedly more innocent era, this DVD collection will probably have you sticking your thumb up and saying, "Heyyyyy."

In Laverne & Shirley: The Complete First Season, you'll relive each laugh-filled moment in the premiere season of this wildly popular, best-loved sitcom, from its beginning as a spin-off from Happy Days to its triumph as an instant smash hit with TV audiences nationwide. A stellar supporting cast and sidesplitting situations are all part of the Laverne & Shirley hilarity presented on DVD in this three-disc set. From Lenny and Squiggy and Mrs. Babish to Carmine "The Big Ragu" Ragusa and Boo-Boo Kitty, the gang's all here! (Studio Copy)
Debuting two years after "Happy Days," this show stemmed from Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams' memorable guest spots on that earlier series and turned into its own pop hit. While it worked at the time (for younger, less discerning viewers), the show became more of a farce than a satire about two single women living together (and Eddie "Whatever Happened to" Mekka made for a poor Fonzie sort of character) and hasn't withstood the tests of time as has the earlier seasons of "Happy Days."

When Sam becomes involved with the Frog Brothers (Corey Feldman and Jamison Newlander), who confess to being undercover Vampire hunters, he realizes it's up to them to save Michael and the rest of the town from the vampire gang. (Studio Copy)
From 1987 came this horror comedy that put a teenage spin on the classic monster genre. Director Joel Schumacher, working from a script by Janice Fischer, James Jeremias and Jeffrey Boam, starts off things well, with an intriguing premise of a family moving to a new town where the teenage son is drawn in by the local troublemakers (led by Sutherland).
The fact that they're vampires adds a fun layer of complexity on the familiar setup and the overall film is conceived and shot to exude a certain cool look (no doubt helped by the fun and hip soundtrack).
Yet, the fact that it features those two Coreys --- Haim and Feldman - and their related subplot, not to mention a horribly clichéd and overwrought Hollywood conclusion means that it's not as much fun - from a horror and/or black comedy standpoint - as it might have been.
Even so, it's something of a guilty pleasure with decent performances from some of the performers, and as long as you can overlook its various problems, it's a rather entertaining diversion that sill stands up fairly well today.

This tall tale of the ultimate bad night on the town offers juicy roles to Rosanna Arquette, Linda Fiorentino, Teri Garr, Catherine O'Hara, Cheech & Chong and others our hapless hero meets. Scorsese said Joseph Minion's tantalizing script was "like a Chinese puzzle." You'll howl as you put the pieces together. (Studio Copy)
ALICE DOESN'T LIVE HERE ANYMORE:
In her remarkable performance that won her the 1974 Best Actress Academy Award, Ellen Burstyn stars as widow Alice Hyatt, traveling in a packed station wagon with her son along a bump road to a new life. With Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore, director Martin Scorsese is a much at home in the semi-rural Southwest as he is in the urban environs of his signature movies.
He guides the "live a little, learn a lot" of Alice's odyssey with affection unmarred by sentiment and draws pitch-perfect performances from co-stars Kris Kristofferson, Alfred Lutter, Jodie Foster, Harvey Keitel, Vic Tayback and Oscar nominee Diane Ladd. It's a slice of life as real, funny and thought-provoking as you've ever seen. Or lived. (Studio Copy)
GOODFELLAS:
Based on the true-life best seller "Wiseguy" by Nicholas Pileggi and backed by a dynamic pop/rock oldies soundtrack, critic Roger Ebert declared GoodFellas "the best mob movie ever." It earned six Academy Award® nominations, including Best Picture and Best Director and was named 1990's 'Best Film' by the New York, Los Angeles and National Society of Film Critics. Scorsese was also awarded the Silver Lion Award in Venice.
Robert De Niro received wide recognition for his performance as veteran criminal Jimmy "The Gent" Conway, and Joe Pesci, as the volatile Tommy DeVito, walked off with the Best Supporting Actor Oscar®. Academy Award® nominees Lorraine Bracco, Ray Liotta and Paul Sorvino also turned in electrifying performances. GoodFellas explores the criminal life like no other movie. It's an electrifying, fact-inspired tale of living - and dying. (Studio Copy)
MEAN STREETS:
Mean Streets announced Martin Scorsese's arrival as a new filmmaking force - and marked his historic teaming with Robert De Niro. It's a story Scorsese lived, a semi-autobiographical tale of the first-generation sons and daughters of New York's Little Italy.
Harvey Keitel plays Charlie, working his way up the ranks of a local mob. Amy Robinson is Teresa, the girlfriend his family deems unsuitable because of her epilepsy. And in the starmaking role that won Best Supporting Actor Awards from the New York and National Society of Film Critics, De Niro is Johnny Boy, a small-time gambler in big-time debt to loan sharks. (Studio Copy)
WHO'S THAT KNOCKING AT MY DOOR:
For the movie world, a major talent was knocking: New York University graduate film student Martin Scorsese. Harvey Keitel plays J.R., an unemployed youth content to hang out with his buddies in New York's Little Italy. But love, in the person of a college-educated girl (Zina Bethune), soon throws J.R. into a turmoil that challenges his ways of looking at the neighborhood - and life itself. Scorsese went on to make such landmark films as Mean Streets, Taxi Driver, Raging Bull and Goodfellas. Each shows he's lost none of the fire and inventiveness seen here in his debut work. (Studio Copy)
ANALYSIS:
Rather than representing the director's entire work, this collection focuses on his releases for Warner Bros. and includes some of his earlier and less seen films, as well as some of his more acclaimed ones. In all, three of the five pictures make their debut on DVD in this collectors set.
Starting with his first full-length feature, 1968's "Who's that Knocking at my Door" (released as "J.R" and marking the debut of Keitel), the set then jumps ahead five years to "Mean Streets," the film that definitely put both Scorsese and De Niro on the map.
The following year brought "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore," which was a departure for the filmmaker in terms of both genre and locale. The film not only won Burstyn an Oscar (and Ladd a nomination), but also inspired the popular but decidedly far more lowbrow sitcom "Alice" (that also starred Vic Tayback who continued his role as Mel).
Following a string of acclaimed hits such as "Taxi Driver" and "Raging Bull," Scorsese went the black comedy route in "After Hours," a surreal, Twilight Zone-ish effort with a terrific cast. The set concludes with what's arguable his best film and certainly one of the better mob pictures ever made, "Goodfellas."
Escaping from all of the controversy following "The Last Temptation of Christ," the filmmaker delivered the impeccably directed film that earned six Oscar nominations and turned lead actor Ray Liotta (who previously had a memorable part in "Field of Dreams") into a big star. While it's certainly not for the faint-hearted (due to the wanton violence), it's a brilliant piece of filmmaking.
If you're a fan of Scorsese's works or just want to see how the filmmaker and his style evolved over the years, this is a definite must-have DVD set for your collection. We highly recommend it.

Although he and director Albert Magnoli claimed that the film wasn't autobiographical (as related to Prince), there's little doubt that the story of "The Kid" who rises to fame in the clubs of Minneapolis was modeled after the 26-year-old.
The drama - featuring the "troubled soul" protagonist who must overcome his personal problems and tendency to follow his abusive father's ways of treating the ladies - isn't anything particularly special. In fact, it's often forced and melodramatic.
The musical numbers, which are really gussied up music videos, however, are spectacular and filled with great and energetically performed and filmed songs. While it all seems rather quaint compared to today's offerings, the film should please fans of the star who want to rekindle their memories of old or see what the star was like in his early days.

Seven decades later, Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) and the crew of Enterprise-D rescue an El Aurian physicist named Soran (Malcolm McDowell). Unbeknownst to Picard, Soran harbors a deadly plan that includes the destruction of the Enterprise and millions of lives. Now Picard's only hope for a future rests within the Nexus... and a legendary captain from the past. (Studio Copy)
The quintessential cinematic passing of the torch, this 1994 effort marked the crossover between the films starring the cast from the original "Star Trek" TV series and subsequent six pictures, and those featuring the cast of the "Next Generation" TV show (and subsequent films).
Diehard fans of both obviously enjoyed the thought of pairing Kirk and Picard (what with the melodrama and Shakespearean style acting styles ready to clash). Yet, the weak script - and apparent curse of the odd-numbered films (where the best are the even numbered ones) - make this a bittersweet final, final farewell to Kirk and company (a few from movie #6 wisely chose not to return for this effort).
While it looks great and has its moments, it's clearly not one of the better films in the series and probably isn't how fans wanted to see the original cast members fly off into the sunset of space (once again).

Since McCoy was once deeply in love with Nancy, he's especially concerned for her safety. However, the real Nancy Crater is already dead; a being has taken her form and needs salt to survive. Because Crater's supply is gone it has only one source - the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise.
