Scientist Bruce Banner (Eric Bana) has, to put it mildly, anger management issues. His quiet life as a brilliant researcher working with cutting edge genetic technology conceals a nearly forgotten and painful past. His ex-girlfriend and equally brilliant fellow researcher, Betty Ross (Jennifer Connelly), has tired of Bruce's cordoned off emotional terrain and resigns herself to remaining an interested onlooker to his quiet life. Which is exactly where Betty finds herself during one of the early trials in Banner's groundbreaking research. A simple oversight leads to an explosive situation and Bruce makes a split-second decision; his heroic impulse saves a life and leaves him apparently unscathed-his body absorbing a normally deadly dose of gamma radiation.Acclaimed Oscar-winning filmmaker Ang Lee turns his masterful eye to adapting the classic Marvel Comics character for the big screen. Setting out to faithfully transfer the Hulk comic book character from four-color paneled page to motion picture screen, Lee combines all the elements of a blockbuster visual effects-intensive superhero movie with the brooding romance and tragedy of Universal's classic horror films. Staying true to the early subversive spirit of the Hulk as envisioned by its creators (Stan Lee and Jack Kirby) while also tuning the tale to current dangerous times, Lee presents a portrait of a man at war with himself and the world, both a superhero and a monster, a means of wish fulfillment and a nightmare...

One of the most controversial musicians in jazz during his lifetime bandleader Stan Kenton (1911-1979) has become something of a cult figure and is now justly considered as one of the men who renovated the big-band idiom during the Forties and Fifties. A restless experimental artist by nature Kenton was one of the first bandleaders to adopt elements from classical music and to fully embrace Latin and south-of-the-border influences. A hyperactive musician who recorded hundreds of tunes during his heyday Stan Kenton also had a peculiar instinct to select the right musicians for his orchestra. The list of jazzmen who learned the ropes in the Kenton organization still makes for impressive reading: Art Pepper Maynard Ferguson Stan Getz Vido Musso Anita O'Day June Christy Laurindo Almeida Kai Winding...This edition showcases different clips showcasing the great Stan Kenton orchestra of the Forties and featuring hits such as Eager Beaver Tampico or Artistry In Rhythm. The edition is completed with a interesting selection of soundies from other modern big bands of the day headed by Charlie Barnet Les Brown and Claude Thronhill.
