The 2003 Holiday Gift Guide
|
 It's hard to believe it's that time of year again - time to give your loved ones a copy of the movie they've been dying to see all year. Let's start at the top with the Best Movie of the Year, Chicago, winner of six Academy Awards®. DVD bonus features include a deleted musical number, a behind-the-scenes special, and director and screenwriter feature commentary.
 Another Oscar®-worthy choice is Martin Scorsese's Gangs Of New York, nominated for 10 Academy Awards®, including Best Picture, Best Actor, and Best Director. Fans of the film will love the DVD Special Features including a Discovery Channel Special "Uncovering The Real Gangs Of New York," a U2 Music Video, and much more.
 For TV fans, there's Alias: The Complete Second Season on DVD December 2 (The Complete First Season is also available on DVD) or The Osbournes: The 2nd Season, worthwhile for the Ozzy translator alone.

 "Fresh and original! I thoroughly enjoyed it!" -- Leonard Maltin, Hot Ticket
From executive producers Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, and producer Chris Moore, The Battle Of Shaker Heights is the uniquely funny and touching comedy at the center of HBO's highly entertaining series Project Greenlight. For troubled high school senior Kelly Ernswiler (Shia LaBeouf -- Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle, Disney's Holes), life is war -- or at least an incredible simulation. With all the difficulties in his real life, Kelly has found just one true escape: Losing himself in fantasy reenactments of World War II's epic battles. Then he strikes up an unlikely friendship with fellow reenactor, preppy Bart Bowland (Elden Henson -- Dumb And Dumberer), and Kelly's life is set to explode in ways he never expected! Also starring Amy Smart (Road Trip) and Kathleen Quinlan (Apollo 13) in a winning cast of Hollywood favorites -- here's your chance to enjoy the final cut of the film millions watched come together in the second hit season of Project Greenlight.

"Calendar Girls"
In Theaters December 19

|
 Calendar Girls is inspired by the true story of a group of women who bare all--or nearly all--for charity and become international celebrities as a result. The Women's Institute in Great Britain encourages the ancient skills of jam-making, flower pressing, knitting and baking. So when a group of extraordinary women are looking for a new way to raise money, they decide to take the annual Women's Institute calendar, normally featuring landscapes or flowers, and create something traditional--but with a twist. Behind the baked goods, the apple pressing and the flower arranging, the women are completely nude. Calendar Girls is a comedy of outsize proportions.
