Two unforgettably cinematic journeys through '60s Canada!<P>BUSTER KEATON RIDES AGAIN - In the fall of 1964, just over a year before his death, Buster Keaton traveled to Canada to make The RaiIrodder, a silent short that would turn out to be one of his finaI fiIms. Documenting this mobile production in fascinating and unexpected detaiI, Buster Keaton Rides Again offers a rare gIimpse of the comedy legend's temperament, phiIosophies, hobbies, marriage (his third), and occasionalIy combative creative process. Canadian lnternational Pictures fondly presents this intimate look at one of cinema's most enduring legends. ln addition, this disc includes The RaiIrodder and six other shorts by director – and Buster Keaton Rides Again co-star – Gerald Potterton (The Rainbow Boys, Heavy MetaI).<P>HELlCOPTER CANADA - Made in ceIebration of the Canadian centennial, this Oscar-nominated documentary offers a stunning aerial exploration of the country's vast and varied Iandscape. Featuring impressive widescreen cinematography by director Eugene Boyko, amusingIy irreverent commentary, and even a cameo by The BeatIes, this enchantingly oddbalI time capsuIe brings Canadiana to new heights. In honor of the fiIm's debt to the sprawIing Cinerama traveIogues of the '50s, this disc also includes a presentation of Helicopter Canada in the Smilebox format, simulating the effect of a curved screen.<P>Bonus Features:<BR>1.
