Rock god, Demon or Dad? Who says you have to choose?

Take an unprecedented look into the (surprisingly normal) life of a rock 'n roll icon with GENE SIMMONS FAMILY JEWELS. The new real-life A&E family series steps into the home of the legendary, tongue-wagging rocker demon of KISS and Shannon Tweed, former Playmate of the Year, actress, model and mom. Gene and Shannon have been happily UNmarried for 23 years and have no plans to get married anytime soon. Their kids, Nick and Sophie, are surprisingly charming, well-behaved teenagers dealing with the trials and tribulations of adolescence, even though Mom and Dad are like no one else's parents on earth. Yes, Gene is a world-famous rock star and multi-media magnate, but he's also the kind of dad who brings Gatorade to his daughter's soccer games and stands in the front row of his son's rock band when they play gigs.

  • DVD Features: F. Scott Fitzgerald Biography; Interactive Menus; Scene Selection; Cast Filmographies.

Jay Gatsby is a man possessed--driven by greed, ambition and, most of all, an unwavering desire for a woman he met before the Great War, when he was poor and she was unobtainable...

As Gatsby reinvents himself in an attempt to buy his way into the social elite of Long Island's Gold Coast, he yearns to rekindle his romance with the woman who stole his heart years before. But when the chance finally arrives, a shadow of tragedy is cast over what Gatsby long-imagined would be his triumphant moment.

Starring Mira Sorvino (Summer of Sam, Mighty Aphrodite), THE GREAT GATSBY is a mesmerizing, tangled tale of wealth and entitlement, love and longing. DVD.

  • An important new investigation of the Titanic's loss.
  • Diving outside the wreck zone, John and Richie discover important new pieces of evidence.
  • Hosted by John Chatterton and Richie Kohler of Deep Sea Detectives.
In August 2005, John Chatterton and Richie Kohler, hosts of DEEP SEA DETECTIVES, led an expedition to the wreck of RMS Titanic. Diving 2 miles down in Russian submersibles, they searched outside the known debris field for new evidence.

On their final dive they made an extraordinary find: two large, intact sections of the Titanic's bottom hull in pristine condition with the red bottom paint still on them. For four months, a team of historians, marine architects, and engineers has been conducting a forensic analysis of this find. All agree that it's the most significant new discovery since the wreck was located in 1985. Analysis is ongoing, but preliminary indications are that these bottom sections will change our understanding of how the ship broke apart, and rewrite the story of the Titanic's final moments.
