Hackers

LIMITED EDITION
MGM + Shout! Studios | 1995 | 105 min | Rated PG-13
Directed by Iain Softley

While practicing the tricks of the trade, a neophyte hacker accomplishes the nearly impossible: he hacks the highly secured computer at the Ellingson Mineral Corporation. But in doing so, he unknowingly taps into a high-tech embezzling scheme masked by a computer virus with the potential to destroy the world’s ecosystem! And when the young hacker and his pals are targeted for the crime, the group must launch a massive cyberspace attack — one that will hopefully clear their names and prevent ecological disaster.

By launching the careers of Jonny Lee Miller (Elementary) and Academy Award®-winner* Angelina Jolie (Girl, Interrupted), Hackers became an underground hit instantly, inspiring music and fashion for the brand-new internet culture, and has been even hailed as prophetic in its use of computers and hacking.

Observe and Report

Shout Select #164
Shout! Studios | 2009 | 86 min | Rated R
Directed by Jody Hill

A pitch-black satire widely misunderstood upon original release, Observe And Report combines the talents of writer/director Jody Hill (The Righteous Gemstones) and a hilarious cast including Seth Rogen (Pineapple Express), Anna Faris (Scary Movie), Michael Peña (Ant-Man), and Ray Liotta (Goodfellas) for one of the most subversive comedies of the 2000s. A prescient send-up of American violence, it remains more hysterically absurd and yet disturbingly familiar than ever!

Security guard Ronnie Barnhardt (Rogen) rules over Forest Ridge Mall with an iron fist, dreaming of one day joining the police force and marrying his dream girl (Faris). But when a flasher begins terrorizing the mall, Ronnie’s desire to be a hero leads him down a vigilante path no one could have seen coming.

Death to Smoochy

Shout Select #165
Shout! Studios | 2002 | 109 min | Rated R
Directed by Danny DeVito

Danny DeVito takes the rhino by the horn to direct and co-star in this gleefully twisted skewering of children’s television. Robin Williams, his famed wit set at warp, plays ranting Randolph. Edward Norton is the high-minded goodnik whose righteous rhino creation, Smoochy, becomes a sensation, and Catherine Keener portrays a jaded TV exec who likes kid-show hosts in, let’s say, a grown-up way. Say nite-nite, rhino!
