Attack of the 30`s Characters (DVD)
Cartoon characters from all the major studios during the golden decade of animation populate this charming collection of shorts. Fleischer Studios` charming vixen, Betty Boop, captivates viewers along with the antics of Disney`s early Mickey Mouse. Warner Brothers` stuttering little pig, Porky, appears in an early form, while Tom and Jerry are remarkably different from their later incarnation. With 16 characters starring in reels of their own, this collection is a fascinating time capsule, making it possible to observe the evolution of all your favorite characters, as well as being just pure retro fun!

New York City newspaper reporter Gwen Cummings (Sandra Bullock) likes to party.
But at her sister Lily's (Elizabeth Perkins) wedding, she parties a little too much, makes a spectacle of herself, and ends up driving a commandeered limousine into a neighbor's front porch. In lieu of prison, Gwen is sent to a rehabilitation program at Serenity Glen, where cell phones are banned and patients chant for inspiration.
Surrounded by other addicts, Gwen finds herself dealing with personal issues she has denied for years. Eventually, she realizes that in living under a cloud of alcohol, she wasn't truly living. Dapper Brit Dominic West plays Jasper, Gwen's charming partner in love and partying, and Viggo Mortensen appears as her potential love interest, Eddie Boone, a professional baseball player with an addiction to booze and women. Betty Thomas, known more for her work directing comedies (THE BRADY BUNCH MOVIE, PRIVATE PARTS), guides 28 DAYS with the hand of an assured dramatist. Perennial good girl Bullock is surprisingly believable as a party girl in need of a wake-up call.
