Short 1: Invention represents the first comprehensive attempt to compile multimedia content on DVD in a magazine-like format, and it's a welcome addition to the digital realm. Originally released on the defunct Polygram label as Short Cinema Journal, Vol. 1, the first installment in the Short series is an above-average mix of documentary, animation, and live-action shorts, even if several of the entries are nearly a decade old. The DVD is divided into six topics--"Marquee"; "Hello, Dali"; "Reality"; "Sound Bit"; "Minutes"; and "Junkdrawer"--the best highlights are to be found in "Hello, Dali," "Reality," and "Minutes," which contain interesting, even brilliant, bits. The excerpt from Shape Without Form is a surreal, four-minute exercise in angst and it shares a slot with the most noteworthy discovery on the DVD, the creative and ingenious Will Vinton-produced Mr. Resistor, which is a cleverly animated, Road Warrior-like ride through the electrical world. In the "Minutes" chapter, British director Michael Apted discusses the premise that "film is the poetry of ordinary life," and although eight minutes can't begin to cover a director's career, this segment does its expurgated best. There are segments from the Ron Fricke film Baraka (also available as a full-length DVD), which still dazzles after nearly two decades with its austere lesson in nature and humanity. Black Rider is an Oscar-winning German short that chronicles a black man's plight on a tram, with a delightful twist ending. A slight disappointment, George Hickenlooper's Some Folks Call It a Sling Blade is the original short that inspired Billy Bob Thornton's acclaimed feature film version, and it pales in comparison. Likewise, Henry Rollins's Easter Sunday in NYC is little more than an angry, pointless, and dated rant for misfits everywhere. Some of the films--like the clay-animated movie spoof The Big Story, featuring Frank Gorshin's hilarious impression of Kirk Douglas--are sure to please those who never saw them on the film festival circuit. On the whole, the good outweighs the mediocre in this deft compilation, boding well for subsequent volumes in the series. --Paula Nechak
Great Expectations - You'll Never Get Rich
Wow! I really loved the movie You'll Never Get Rich. The movie is absolutely stunning with top-notch graphics and visuals while Fred Astaire deliver some award-winning performances in this movie.
I also think Rita Hayworth was great! The visuals and graphics make for some very realistic on screen special-effects but that is the beauty of the movie.When the movie wants to be funny it is funny, the same is true for when the movie needs to deliver its scary aspects.
I think Fred Astaire and Rita Hayworth worked wonderful in You'll Never Get Rich. The great supporting cast includes Fred Astaire, Rita Hayworth, Robert Benchley, John Hubbard, Osa Massen.
You should see it, make no mistake this is a definite blockbuster!

I left some information, immages, and video previews of You'll Never Get Rich below.
They don't make the most obvious screen couple--if you squint, you might think Stan Laurel had gotten together with Lauren Bacall--but their differences only serve to make this effervescent musical all the more entertaining. You'll Never Get Rich is the first of two that Fred Astaire and Rita Hayworth made together (followed by You Were Never Lovelier). Astaire, who stars as choreographer-turned-soldier Robert Curtis, has rarely been looser, and Hayworth, as dancer Sheila Winthrop, has rarely been more graceful. As in Royal Wedding, Astaire also engages in some fancy solo footwork. Robert Benchley and Frieda Inescort provide priceless support as Robert's philandering boss and his clever wife, and Cole Porter composed the music, including "So Near and Yet So Far," "Dream Dancing," and the Oscar-nominated "Since I Kissed My Baby Goodbye." You'll Never Get Rich is timeless, escapist fun that also serves to prove that sometimes opposites don't just attract--they can make beautiful music together. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
