Connecting Content with Consumers Volume 8 Issue 10 The Fast est Growing DVD, CD and Blu- ray Ret ail Cat alog Connecting Content with Consumers Volume 8 Issue 10 Turner Classic Movies dazzled film fans of all ages last week in Los Angeles with the ninth hosting of the TCM Classic Film Festival. Thousands of classic cinema passionate attendees were feted with over 80 films joined by celebrity hosts including Mel Brooks, Eve Marie Saint, Jeff Bridges, Buck Henry and casts from "Romeo and Juliet" and "Animal House'. Wowing the crowds, Martin Scorsese was awarded the first Robert Osborne Award by Leonardo DiCaprio, recognizing the directors commitment to the preservation of motion pictures. The TCM Classic Film Festival continues to be one of the most anticipated events in the year for watching the classic films as they were originally seen in the great movie theaters. I enjoy attending with my fellow film "geeks" for non-stop film, trivia and learning more about the creativity behind these movies. You will find a complete catalog of TCM classic films available in the AV MOD Collection, contact me for details! Richard Skillman Vice President Allied Vaughn [email protected] http://www.alliedvaughn.com AV MOD Studio Brochure AV MOD Gallery Title Library AV MOD Newsletter Archives Warner Archive May DVD and Blu-ray Releases 5/22/2018 888574646066 Bad Day at Black Rock DVD-5 "Folks in Black Rock have their own way of welcoming mysterious, one-armed stranger John J. Macreedy. He's welcome to leave. Or they'll make sure he leaves in a pine box. Two-time Academy Award® winner* Spencer Tracy (a 1955 Best Actor Oscar® nominee for this film) plays World War II veteran Macreedy, who keeps his own counsel about why he's come to Black Rock and who keeps his wits about him when confronted with threats and violence. Director John Sturges (The Great Escape) ramps up the tension while revealing Macreedy's mission and the town's grim secret. Robert Ryan, Walter Brennan, Ernest Borgnine and Lee Marvin are among the town's thugs and lap dogs. "I'm half horse, half alligator," one says. They'll find Macreedy is even tougher stuff." Spencer Tracy; Robert Ryan; Anne Francis; Dean Jagger; Walter Brennan; Ernest Borgnine; John Ericson; Lee Marvin; Russell Collins; Walter Sande 5/22/2018 888574647063 Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde DVD-5 1941 Laurence Olivier once observed that he "learned more about acting from watching [Spencer] Tracy than in any other way." Undertaking the dual title role in Robert Louis Stevenson's Victorian science- fiction thriller, Tracy fulfilled that compliment by abandoning his characteristic down-to- earth image for the most terrifying portrayal of his career. Also cast "against type" are "Sweater Sweetheart" Lana Turner as Jekyll's fiancee and Ingrid Bergman, who plays Hyde's victimized Cockney mistress. Tracy and director Victor Fleming (Gone with the Wind) decided to break with convention by interpreting Hyde from a Freudian perspective instead of portraying him as the usual physically grotesque monster, and he emerges as a menacing distortion of the sexually frustrated Jekyll. To Tracy fans, this amazing piece of virtuosity will come as an unforgettable revelation. Spencer Tracy; Ingrid Bergman; Lana Turner; Donald Crisp; Ian Hunter; Barton MacLane; C. Aubrey Smith; Peter Godfrey; Sara Allgood; Frederick Worlock; William Tannen; Frances Robinson; Denis Green; Billy Bevan; Forrester Harvey; Lumsden Hare; Lawrence Grant; John Barclay 5/22/2018 888574682446 Famous in Love: The Complete First Season DVD-9 Paige Townsen (Bella Thorne) is a normal college girl working on her business degree who enjoys acting on the side. When a big movie franchise goes into production and opens its doors looking for the next "It" girl to play the lead role, Paige's roommates Cassie (Georgie Flores) and Jake (Charlie DePew) convince her to go to the open casting call. Never in her wildest dreams does she think she will even make it to the callbacks, but after an electric audition with Hollywood heartthrob Rainer Devon (Carter Jenkins), her chance of a lifetime happens. She gets the part, and her life is about to change forever. Meanwhile, intrigue flows through Hollywood as every actor wants a part, in the new Locked film. She must now navigate her new star-studded life - and undeniable chemistry with her two co-leads - while uncovering the truth about what happened to a missing pop star. Based on the novel by Rebecca Serle.

Chivalrous knight Wilfrid of Ivanhoe is determined to restore Richard the Lionhearted to England's throne.Gallantry and costumed pageantry combine in this crowd-pleasing nominee for 3 Academy Awards®, including Best Picture. Robert Taylor plays the title role, and Elizabeth Taylor and Joan Fontaine also star in a rousing adaptation of Sir Walter Scott's novel. The film's jousting tournament is a galloping display of steeds and stouthearted men. Most spectacular of all is the siege of Torquilstone Castle, a wave-after-wave combat of arrows, fire, boulders, battering rams and blades. To the battlements!"

Fate has other plans for G.A. Axton (Lionel Atwill), however, when a pair of escaped, condemned criminals (Bernadene Hays and Wallace Ford) crash Axton's recovery and cause a plane to crash on his ranch. On board the downed plane are citizens whom Axton has crossed - ex-mistress Zelda (Ann Loring); her lover, Gregory (Louis Hayward); political opponent Governor Pruden (Raymond Walburn); and scandal-mongering newsman "Chubby" Rudd (Stuart Erwin). Taken hostage by the criminal pair, the survivors face their greatest threat: the clash between Axton's cruel manipulations and the craven cowardice of the governor. Atwill's wry villain makes for a most unusual hero, while Wallace Ford and Bernadene Hays' vaudevillians-turned- Bonnie-and-Clyde tug at the heart. Lionel Atwill; Irene Hervey; Raymond Walburn; Stuart Erwin; Ann Loring; Louis Hayward; Wallace Ford; Bernadene Hayes; Robert Gleckler; Harvey Stephens; J. Carrol Naish; Matt Moore; Robert Livingston 5/15/2018 888574657444 All American Chump DVD-5 1936 Crane's Colossal Carnival receives a radical downsizing after rubes rise up and the carnival's assets are repossessed, leaving ace pitchman "Honest" Bill Hogan (Robert Armstrong), owner Jeffrey Crane (Edmund Gwenn) and Crane's daughter Betty (Betty Furness) in desperate need of funds. Venturing to the local bank, Bill encounters aptly named Elmer Lamb (Stuart Erwin), a country bumpkin possessed of an extraordinary brain. Capable of amazing feats of calculation, Elmer works as a human adding machine, trying to earn enough money to buy the dairy farm of his dreams. Bill quickly dubs Elmer "Chain Lightning" and drafts him into showman service. Alas, Bill's best-laid plans prove a bust, but things turn around thanks to a bridge game aboard a train, where Elmer bests famed bridge champion J. Montgomery Brantley (E.E. Clive) alongside low-grade gangster Pudgy Murphy (Edward Brophy). But Pudgy has his own plans, and it might be time for Chain Lightning to fizzle out.

Clive; Dewey Robinson; Eddie Shubert; Spencer Charters 5/15/2018 888574657673 Broadway Hostess DVD-5 1935 Small-town lass Winnie Wharton (real-life Ziegfeld Follies star Wini Shaw) is gifted with a golden voice and gumption to boot. Thanks to the assistance of her streetwise manager, Lucky Lorimer (Lyle Talbot), she rises to the top on Broadway as a torch singer. It's an ascent built from broken dreams, however, as Wini's piano player, Tommy (Phil Regan), has fallen for her, but she only has eyes for Lucky. Lucky, in turn, has his heart set on high-society dame Iris Marvin (Genevieve Tobin). While Lucky's sidekick, Fishcake Carter (Allen Jenkins), succeeds in wooing the wealthy widow Mrs. Duncan-Griswald-Wembly-Smythe (Spring Byington), Lucky's proposal to Iris is rebuffed. Determined to prove his worth to Iris, Lucky opens a gambling house, and Iris' brother, Ronnie (Donald Ross), a poisonous snob, soon ends up in hock to Lucky. It's a debt that soon proves costly to both torch singer and manager...Wini Shaw; Genevieve Tobin; Lyle Talbot; Allen Jenkins; Phil Regan; Marie Wilson; Spring Byington; Joe King; Donald Ross; Frank Dawson; Harry Seymour 5/15/2018 888574644031 Great Meadow, The DVD-5 1931 When Daniel Boone comes calling, young Berk Jarvis (John Mack Brown) hears the message loud and clear: It's time to go west, young Americans. Quickly convincing his mother, Elvira (Lucille La Verne), and brother, Jack, to leave colonial Virginia behind for the wilderness of Kentucky's Great Meadow, Berk asks his favorite girl, Diony Hall (Eleanor Boardman), to join him on their wagon train as his wife. The western trek takes a toll on the settlers, but Berk and his bride arrive at Fort Harrod with a baby soon on the way. Tragedy strikes when Elvira and Diony are attacked outside the fort by the psychotic Black Fox, and Elvira is killed. Berk is driven to distraction by the taunts of Black Fox and his horrific trophy, and he abandons his wife and child for the path of vengeance.

  • Justin Townes Earle Returns with ​Kids in the Street
    JUSTIN TOWNES EARLE RETURNS WITH KIDS IN THE ​ STREET MAY 26th, 2017 VIA NEW WEST RECORDS ​ BILLBOARD PREMIERES “MAYBE A MOMENT” ​ ​ VIDEO TODAY TO APPEAR AT STAGECOACH FESTIVAL THIS WEEKEND SPRING TOUR DATES WITH THE SADIES AS HIS BACKING & SUPPORT BAND ANNOUNCED “Justin Townes Earle’s Kids In The Street is his finest album to date.” UPROXX ​ Justin Townes Earle is set to release his New West Records debut Kids In The Street ​ on May 26th. The 12-song set was produced by Mike Mogis (Bright Eyes, First Aid Kit) at his ARC Studios, and is the first time in his career that Earle has worked with an outside producer. Kids In The Street marks a decade into Earle’s recording career and ​ follows his acclaimed companion albums Single Mothers (2014) and Absent Fathers ​ ​ ​ (2015). The deeply soulful set is both emotionally riveting and effortlessly uplifting. Now embracing sobriety, marriage, and impending fatherhood, Earle is enthusiastically looking to the future. “Life has changed a lot for me in the last few years,” Earle reflects. “I got married and am getting ready to become a father, and this is the first record that I’ve written since I’ve been married. There’s definitely an uplifting aspect to this record in a lot of ways, because I’m feeling pretty positive.” He continues, “When I wrote songs in the past, I was looking in on what I was feeling, but this record’s more about looking outward on what’s happening, and writing about subjects like gentrification and inner city strife.

  • I See Hawks in L.A. Release Their Tenth Album, on Our Way, New Directions Spun from Strange Times, Set for August 27 Release
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 26, 2021 I SEE HAWKS IN L.A. RELEASE THEIR TENTH ALBUM, ON OUR WAY, NEW DIRECTIONS SPUN FROM STRANGE TIMES, SET FOR AUGUST 27 RELEASE LOS ANGELES, Calif. — “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times” has earned its hoary immortality in Memeville. That’s how it was from February 2020 onward. That’s how it hit I See Hawks in L.A., who played their final live show at Ben Vaughn’s Wonder Valley Festival. The evening was charged, Ben and the Hawks (as ISHILA is otherwise known) pushing against the unknown at the edge of the desert night. I See Hawks in L.A. — who will release their first post-pandemic album, On Our Way, on August 27, 2021 — tell the rest of story in their own words: And then, well you know. Le lockdown. For I See Hawks in L.A., it was disruptive, but we’re drawn to disruption, we create disruption, it’s a creative source, and here it was handed to us writ large by global fate. How do little old us ride this floodwave? We dove in, digitally. Without ever playing music in the same room. As was near universal for musicians, reality was the all-embracing screen, cyber images that sang and played drums and guitar. Rob and Paul went on an uncharacteristically locked-in songwriting schedule, every Friday facetiming it at the crack of 4 p.m., quite a challenge (you can't play guitars at the same time) — but also an oasis from chaos.

  • Exploring Films About Ethical Leadership: Can Lessons Be Learned?
    EXPLORING FILMS ABOUT ETHICAL LEADERSHIP: CAN LESSONS BE LEARNED? By Richard J. Stillman II University of Colorado at Denver and Health Sciences Center Public Administration and Management Volume Eleven, Number 3, pp. 103-305 2006 104 DEDICATED TO THOSE ETHICAL LEADERS WHO LOST THEIR LIVES IN THE 9/11 TERROIST ATTACKS — MAY THEIR HEORISM BE REMEMBERED 105 TABLE OF CONTENTS Preface 106 Advancing Our Understanding of Ethical Leadership through Films 108 Notes on Selecting Films about Ethical Leadership 142 Index by Subject 301 106 PREFACE In his preface to James M cG regor B urns‘ Pulitzer–prizewinning book, Leadership (1978), the author w rote that ―… an im m ense reservoir of data and analysis and theories have developed,‖ but ―w e have no school of leadership.‖ R ather, ―… scholars have worked in separate disciplines and sub-disciplines in pursuit of different and often related questions and problem s.‖ (p.3) B urns argued that the tim e w as ripe to draw together this vast accumulation of research and analysis from humanities and social sciences in order to arrive at a conceptual synthesis, even an intellectual breakthrough for understanding of this critically important subject. Of course, that was the aim of his magisterial scholarly work, and while unquestionably impressive, his tome turned out to be by no means the last word on the topic. Indeed over the intervening quarter century, quite to the contrary, we witnessed a continuously increasing outpouring of specialized political science, historical, philosophical, psychological, and other disciplinary studies with clearly ―no school of leadership‖with a single unifying theory emerging.
