Aristotle (voice)
Emily @ the Edge of Chaos interweaves Emily Levine’s live performance with animation, appearances by scientists, and animated characters. The film uses physics, which explains how the universe works, to explain our metaphysics – the story of our values, our institutions, our interactions. Using her own experience and a custom blend of insight and humor, provocation and inspiration, personal story and social commentary, Emily takes her audience through its own paradigm shift: from the Fear of Change to the Edge of Chaos.

La vida y la obra de Buster Keaton, el gran artista de la era dorada del cine mudo en Hollywood junto con Charles Chaplin. La influencia de sus películas, como El héroe del río (1928), El maquinista de la General (1926) o El moderno Sherlock Holmes (1924), va mucho más allá de la comedia y se extiende por toda la historia del cine hasta la actualidad.

Back in 1968, Bucky and the Squirrels topped the charts with their dance hit 'Do the Squirrel.' Unfortunately, on their first promotional tour, the plane carrying the band crashed and disappeared somewhere in the Swiss Alps - never to be heard of again. That is until now, 50 years later, when the plane is discovered with the Squirrels still inside - frozen alive. Naturally, they're taken to a cryonics lab to be defrosted. Long Live the Squirrels!

Este documental, que recorre su carrera desde sus comienzos en la televisión hasta sus grandes éxitos con "El jovencito Frankenstein", "Sillas de montar calientes" o "Los productores", es un inédito acercamiento a este gigante de la comedia.

La lista de invitados que participan en este documental es impresionante. Sirvan de ejemplo unos pocos nombres: Alec Baldwin, Eddie Murphy y Jerry Seinfeld. Todos ellos, iconos de la comedia americana más o menos reciente. No resulta nada extraño que quieran hablar sobre Jerry Lewis, hijo secreto de la modernidad, revolucionario del humor y del cine. Method to the Madness of Jerry Lewis muestra al rey de la comedia de cerca. Lewis se presta no sólo a ser filmado, sino que se expone sin reproches en este documental que ahonda (al fin) en una de las figuras más importantes (y menos reivindicadas) de la historia del cine.

Aclamado documental sobre la comedia y los cómicos.
Includes classic stand-up footage of: Tim Allen, Chris Rock, Adam Sandler, Jerry Seinfeld, Kelsey Grammer, Norm MacDonald, Ray Romano, Richard Belzer, Cheech Marin, Richard Lewis, Jim Carrey, Rosie O'Donnell and many more.
This set gives you a chance to see some of todays best comedians when they were much younger. some peoples bits are very short, one joke short, which leaves you feeling a little jipped. The replay value is minimal because you have to skip around so much to keep the laughs going.

Steve Adler
Richard Lewis plays coach Steven Adler, a one time high profile division one college basketball coach haunted by the demon of having lost five championship titles. Now he finds himself wasting away in a slack-jawed, low profile town coaching a second rate college program. Once again, he has miraculously brought this unlikely team to the finals. As his behavior on the day of the championship game indicates, he is far more successful at the game of basketball than the game of life. The question remains: if he finally wins the big game, will Coach Adler get his life back on track or is he already too far gone... ?

Jim
At the beginning of a nightly Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, Jim seems particularly troubled. His sponsor encourages him to talk that night, the first time in seven months, so he does - and leaves the meeting right after. As Jim wanders the night, searching for some solace in his old stomping grounds, bars and parks where he bought drugs, the meeting goes on, and we hear the stories of survivors and addicts - some, like Louis, who claim to have wandered in looking for choir practice, who don't call themselves alcoholic, and others, like Joseph, whose drinking almost caused the death of his child - as they talk about their lives at the meeting
