 | PAUL GOODMAN CHANGED MY LIFE
$20.17 Buy
Paul Goodman was once so ubiquitous in the American zeitgeist that he merited "cameos" in Woody Allen's Annie Hall and Richard Linklater's Slacker. Author of the legendary bestseller Growing Up Absurd, Goodman was also a poet, 1940s out-queer (and family man), pacifist, visionary, co-founder of Gestalt therapy-and a moral compass for the burgeoning counterculture of the 1960s. |

 | ERNIE KOVACS: THE ABC SPECIALS
$11.29 Buy
Before his untimely death at the age of 42, television pioneer Ernie Kovacs left us with a sublime body of comedy work whose influence can be seen on everything from Monty Python to SNL and David Letterman. He made eight TV specials for ABC in 1961, the final year of his life, and they show Kovacs at the peak of his creative experimentation with the medium, featuring many of his comic masterpieces and iconic set pieces. Five of these programs are presented here in complete uncut form, along with many of his celebrated - and delightfully offbeat - commercials for Dutch Masters cigars. |

 | ALAMBRISTA! (BLU-RAY) (CRITERION COLLECTION)
$38.66 Buy
In Alambrista!, a farmworker sneaks across the border from Mexico into California in an effort to make money to send to his family back home. It is a story that happens every day, told here in an uncompromising, groundbreaking work of realism from American independent filmmaker Robert M. Young (Dominick and Eugene). Vivid and spare where other films about illegal immigration might sentimentalize, Young's take on the subject is equal parts intimate character study and gripping road movie, a political work that never loses sight of the complex man at its center. |

 | INTO THE ABYSS (BLU-RAY)
- INTO THE ABYSS
$24.11 Buy
In his fascinating exploration of a triple homicide case in Conroe, Texas, master filmmaker Werner Herzog probes the human psyche to explore why people kill-and why a state kills. Through intimate conversations with those involved, including 28-year-old death row inmate Michael Perry (scheduled to die within eight days of appearing on-screen), Herzog achieves what he describes as "a gaze into the abyss of the human soul." |

 | MISS REPRESENTATION
$15.57 Buy
Like drawing back a curtain to let bright light stream in, Miss Representation uncovers a glaring reality we live with every day but fail to see. Written and directed by Jennifer Siebel Newsom, the film exposes how mainstream media contribute to the under-representation of women in positions of power and influence in America. The film challenges the media's limited and often disparaging portrayals of women and girls, which make it difficult for women to achieve leadership positions and for the average woman to feel powerful herself. |
