'Paranormal Activity 2' is a 2010 psychological horror film directed by Tod Williams and written by Michael R. Perry. It is a prequel to the original film, 'Paranormal Activity,' released in 2009 and grossing $193 million worldwide.

After so many years of requests, fans can finally experience one of television's most memorable television series as 'The Bionic Woman' Season One debuts on DVD.

Primetime Emmy Award winner Lindsay Wagner as Jaime Sommers, a woman leading the ultimate double-life. Never-before-released on DVD in North America, this four-disc set includes every episode from the show's premiere season plus five crossover episodes from 'The Six Million Dollar Man,' and a Bionic Beginnings featurette, which tracks evolution of television's first Bionic Woman and includes an all-new, exclusive interview with Lindsay Wagner.

After her unforgettable appearances on 'The Six Million Dollar Man' as Colonel Steve Austin's (played by Lee Majors) true love, Jaime's story begins anew in these entertaining Season One episodes as she learns to deal with her new bionic abilities, becomes a top-secret agent for the Office of Scientific Investigations and deals with her changed relationship with Steve.

To generate a national conversation on the plight of Black men and boys, the Twenty-First Century Foundation (21CF) has partnered with actor-director Mario Van Peebles and producer Karen Williams to create 'Bring Your Game' - a groundbreaking documentary film that, in Van Peebles' words, "sheds light on the resilience and influence of Black males." 'Bring Your Game' is a film that will use screenings accompanied by community discussions as a catalyst to transform the lives of urban youth. Using a cinematic style influenced by popular culture and employing innovative technologies, the film details strategies that have improved the lives of Black men and boys. It underscores how essential educational achievement and high school graduation are to survival and success in today's world.

Interviewees include such Black male icons as Richard 'Dick' Parsons, Chris Rock, Spike Lee, Dr. Cornel West, Ice Cube, Newark, New Jersey Mayor Cory Booker, Sean 'Diddy' Combs, Russell Simmons, Kevin Liles, Lou Gossett Jr., Lupe Fiasco, Hill Harper, Damon Dash, Kevin Powell, Melvin Van Peebles, Geoffrey Canada, Bruce Gordon and former NBA star Alan Houston, among others.
