If we could just get rid of these actors and directors, maybe we've got something here."--Griffin Mill. Griffin is a slick, successful film studio vice president whose primary duty is to listen to story pitches from a constant stream of writers. Like all Hollywood producers, he's always looking over his shoulder, and he thinks up-and-comer Larry Levy is after his job. Along with power lunches, corporate in-fighting, and bottom-line priorities, a mysterious someone--probably an ignored and angry screenwriter--has been leaving him threatening postcards. When he finally takes action, his cool aplomb deserts him, things go seriously sideways, and Griffin's world begins falling apart.MPAA rating: R.DVD; Dolby Digital surround 5.1 (English), stereo (French).- Subjects: Comedy films.; Dark comedy films.; Detective and mystery films.; Feature films.; Feature films.; Fiction films.; Mystery films.; Suspense films.; Video recordings for the hearing impaired.; American fiction; Man-woman relationships; Motion picture industry; Murder; Murder;

Mitchell (Yates).Mr. Popper's Penguins is the story of a boy whose explorer father loves him but neglects him in favor of his career. Once the boy grows to sharkish real-estate wheeler-dealer manhood in NYC, he does the same thing to his wife, daughter, and son. Promised a partner position in his real-estate firm, he woos a reluctant seller to part with the Tavern on the Green. Life is going fine until his dad's final gift to him arrives. Then Mr. Popper's life changes radically, because the gift is penguins--live, breathing, fish-loving penguins. Mr. Popper, at first vexed and then beguiled by the creatures, tries to deal with them, his job, his children, his ex-wife, a nosy neighbor, an officious zoo guy, and the state of his soul.MPAA rating: Rated PG for mild rude humor and some language; Canadian Home Video rating: Rated G.DVD; Region 1, NTSC; 5.1 Dolby Digital surround, 2.0 Dolby Digital surround; widescreen presentation, 1.85:1 aspect ratio.- Subjects: Comedy films.; Feature films.; Fiction films.; Film adaptations.; Video recordings for people with visual disabilities.; Video recordings for the hearing impaired.; American fiction; Businessmen; City and town life; Divorced parents; Families; Man-woman relationships; Men; Penguins;

- Our history has always been contraband : in defense of Black studies / by Kaepernick, Colin,1987-editor.(CARDINAL)609349; Kelley, Robin D. G.,editor.(CARDINAL)265214; Taylor, Keeanga-Yamahtta,editor.(CARDINAL)625005;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 180-186).'Since its founding as a discipline, Black Studies has been under relentless attack by social and political forces seeking to discredit and neutralize it. Our History Has Always Been Contraband was born out of an urgent need to respond to the latest threat: efforts to remove content from an AP African American Studies course being piloted in high schools across the United States. Edited by Colin Kaepernick, Robin D. G. Kelley, and Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, Our History Has Always Been Contraband brings together canonical texts and authors in Black Studies, including those excised from or not included in the AP curriculum. Our History Has Always Been Contraband excerpts readings that cut across and between literature, political theory, law, psychology, sociology, gender and sexuality studies, queer and feminist theory, and history. This volume also includes original essays by editors Kaepernick, Kelley, and Taylor, elucidating how we got here, and pieces by Brea Baker, Marlon Williams-Clark, and Roderick A. Ferguson detailing how we can fight back. To read Our History Has Always Been Contraband is to be an outlaw for liberation. These writings illuminate the ways we can collectively work toward freedom for all--through abolition, feminism, racial justice, economic empowerment, self-determination, desegregation, decolonization, reparations, queer liberation, cultural and artistic expression, and beyond." -- back cover.- Subjects: African Americans; African Americans; African Americans; African Americans; African Americans; African Americans; Black people;
