Our story unfolds over a single, horrifying and sleepless night -- six soldiers lost in the wicked, burning woods of the 1864 Battle of the Wilderness. The men happen upon each other and after a tense exchange, decide to share a meager campfire for the trading of food and the comfort and safety of what they all think are friends. The men wear raged, dirty uniforms, so in the night's moonlight, they do not realize they are enemies until the next morning when the sun rises and exposes their dangerous mistake.
War brings out the best and worst in men. Korea, 1953 -- the war’s winding down, but one soldier, Private Robert Brewer, will stop at nothing to get home in one piece -- almost nothing. Brewer’s an outcast to his own fellow soldiers, saving his own skin by leaving a comrade on the battlefield to die. Sergeant Ridgely plans Brewer’s next mission to be his last.

Surrounded by monotony, Sam works as a motel maid. Each day she slips through the mundane, routine chores of cleaning after other people’s lives. A colorless life, until she unearths an old art box.
A dealer of modern and unusual art, Dhelia travels the country hunting for new artists for her big city gallery. When she drives to Nowheresville to check out a sculptor, her car breaks down and she’s marooned.
The sign says “Vacancy” at The Mystic Motel, but what Dhelia discovers inside will change both women’s lives
The film is a virtual time machine, which opens a window into the summer of 1863. You are in the camp of a Confederate Infantry company to experience the sights and sounds of Civil war camp life as the men who fought in the war enjoyed it. The film records an authentic camp concert performed by the best Civil War-era camp band in the United States, the critically acclaimed Second South Carolina String Band. They sing and play 12 great songs of the period from the likes of Stephen Foster and Dan Emmet -- marching songs, dancing songs, heartbreaking songs of home and family far, far away.

When a new family moves in across the street, a young girl thinks she has met the man of her dreams. Prompted by an unsettling discovery, she tries to uncover the truth behind her boyfriend's suddenly strange behavior. Don't blink or you might get lost. This film moves fast and requires a certain amount of focus, but the pay-off is big. Not for the faint-of-heart. Each scene embodies a different mood. A 1960s-set teen-spy-thriller.

Synopsis --
This DVD celebrates the 225th anniversary re-enactment of America’s momentous 1781 Revolutionary War victory at Yorktown, Virginia. The four-day commemorative event was held October 19-22, 2006, with many of the events staged on the original field. For the first time in 225 years, and within days of the actual anniversary of the formal British surrender, nearly 2,000 re-enactors met on the original, hollowed "Surrender Field" to commemorate the British defeat to the allied American and French forces led by General George Washington. Never since 1781 had this event been re-staged so authentically.

An opening fight of the 1777 Philadelphia Campaign, then the capital of the United States, The Battle of Cooch's Bridge has two principal distinctions. The battle is noted in various historical accounts as the first in which the original "stars and stripes" is carried. It is also the only battle of the war fought on Delaware soil. This fight also marks the first significant engagement between General Washington’s troops and British soldiers led by General Earl Charles Cornwallis. By September 3rd 1777, the Colonials had dropped back to Cooch’s Bridge. A handpicked regiment of 100 marksmen under General William Maxwell laid an ambush in the surrounding cover. Maxwell's unit was the first employment of a truly national combat team. After an intense fight, the Americans were driven off the field.
