The title refers to the time required by all rodeo cowboys to stay on a bull if they want a judge's score. For them, such a short time can seem like an eternity. The same is true of the beginning of this true story, a country tale of Lane Frost, a real-life, crowd-pleasing bullrider who rose to rodeo fame in the late '80s. The characters seem so irrepressibly good, so unreal, that the film comes o... read more   /   Compare Prices   /   Download Movies!   /   Download TV Shows   /   Online Movie Rental   /   Audio books Online

John Adams (HBO Miniseries)

Starring: Laura Linney
Rated: NR (Not Rated)
Studio: HBO
Release Date: 2008-06-10
Running Time: 501 minutes

Based on David McCullough's bestselling biography, the HBO miniseries John Adams is the furthest thing from a starry-eyed look at America's founding fathers and the brutal path to independence. Adams (Paul Giamatti), second president of the United States, is portrayed as a skilled orator and principled attorney whose preference for justice over anti-English passions earns enemies. But he al... read more   /   Compare Prices   /   Download Movies!   /   Download TV Shows   /   Online Movie Rental   /   Audio books Online

Gia (Unrated Edition)

Rated: Unrated
Studio: Hbo Home Video
Release Date: 2004-08-24
Running Time: 125 minutes

There's a reason why Cindy Crawford was dubbed "Baby Gia" when she first hit the modeling scene. Indeed, Crawford, now the world's best-known supermodel, greatly resembled model Gia Carangi, who went from high school to the cover of British Vogue in less than two years. Carangi appeared on many more covers of Vogue (French, British, Italian, and American) and Cosmopolitan befo... read more   /   Compare Prices   /   Download Movies!   /   Download TV Shows   /   Online Movie Rental   /   Audio books Online

The Pursuit of Happyness (Widescreen Edition)

Starring: Jaden Smith
Rated: PG-13 (Parental Guidance Suggested)
Studio: Sony Pictures
Release Date: 2007-03-27
Running Time: 117 minutes

A heartwarming film that demonstrates how good, hard-working people can become homeless almost overnight, Pursuit of Happyness is a tour-de-force showcase for Will Smith, who convincingly portrays a down-and-out dad trying to better his family's life. Smith, who usually is cast in effortlessly boyish roles (Men in Black, Independence Day), is wonderful in the film--even in the scenes... read more   /   Compare Prices   /   Download Movies!   /   Download TV Shows   /   Online Movie Rental   /   Audio books Online

Sybil (Two-Disc Special Edition)

Starring: Sally Field
Rated: NR (Not Rated)
Studio: Warner Home Video
Release Date: 2006-07-18
Running Time: 187 minutes

The word "landmark" is fairly used in the case of Sybil: this 1976 TV movie brought new frankness to television, it raised the quality bar for the made-for-television movie, and it utterly changed the career of a future Oscar-winning actress. The film was based on the bestselling nonfiction book about a multiple-personality patient and her exhaustive therapy. It opens with a brilliant seri... read more   /   Compare Prices   /   Download Movies!   /   Download TV Shows   /   Online Movie Rental   /   Audio books Online
