Andy Warhol's screen tests make a much-anticipated appearance on DVD.

Oliver Stone's "W." doesn't just bring the heat but also sheds revealing light on our soon-to-be ex-president.

Though many may know him only via Bobby Darin’s finger-popping interpretation of “Mack the Knife,” Kurt Weill was one of the 20th century’s greatest composers, equally comfortable in the concert hall, the music hall and the Broadway stage. Here we have his wife, Lotte Lenya, giving a mesmerizing performance of "Pirate Jenny" in the film version of “The Threepenny Opera”: 

A federal appeals court granted a last-minute stay to delay the execution of Troy Davis, a Georgia man whose claim of innocence has become an international cause celebre. Most of the witnesses who testified that he had murdered a police officer have since recanted; new witnesses have fingered another man.

Regardless of your voting preferences, this short film from something called “The Landline” gets a few laughs by parodying the styles of three contemporary directors (John Woo, Kevin Smith and Wes Anderson), if they were to make political ads for McCain. The comment page seems to favor the Anderson bit, but I thought the Smith nod was funnier.
