Description/Synopsis:
Bullets Over Broadway: Jim Broadbent and John Cusack star in this comedy directed by Woody Allen. Set in New York in the 1920s, the film follows intellectual playwright David Shayne (Cusack) as he struggles to find a backer for his latest project; that is, until he runs into mobster Nicky Valenti (Joe Viterelli), who sees Shayne's play as the ideal vehicle for his dizzy, shrill-voiced mistress Olive (Jennifer Tilly). As the rehearsals begin, Shayne is further hampered by precious actresses and hammy actors choking on their lines. Events take a more dangerous turn when Olive's hired protector Cheech (Chazz Palminteri) starts contributing his own lines to the play, and takes violent exception to their poor onstage delivery.
Mighty Aphrodite: New York sportwriter Lenny (Woody Allen) becomes increasingly obsessed with finding the birth mother of his exceptionally intelligent adopted son. When the two finally meet, however, Lenny is completely unprepared to learn that the outrageous Linda (Mira Sorvino) is nothing like he's imagined. Even so, their lives grow hilariously entangled... despite the potentially scandalous secrets they keep from each other.
Everyone Says I Love You: DJ (Natasha Lyonne) narrates the story of her extended New York family: her mother, Steffi (Goldie Hawn), a campaigner for liberal causes, and second husband Bob (Alan Alda); Steffi's first husband Joe (Allen), who is attempting to date the neurotic Von (Julia Roberts); DJ's half-sister Skylar (Drew Barrymore), who is dating Holden (Edward Norton); and half-brother Scott (Lukas Haas), a hostile conservative.
Celebrity: Woody Allen offers a critical look at the world of modern day celebrity in this comedy starring Kenneth Branagh and Judy Davis. As journalist Lee Simon (Branagh) breaks up with his school-teacher wife Robin (Davis), he embarks on an odyssey into the world of the rich and famous. Moving with celebrated actresses, beautiful supermodels, and unruly film stars, Lee meets some of the most glamorous people alive. Meanwhile, Robin finds a celebrity lifestyle of her own as she takes an unlikely path to TV stardom. Melanie Griffith, Leonardo DiCaprio and Famke Janssen also star.
Small Time Crooks: Woody Allen's star-powered comedy follows the misadventures of an ex-con dishwasher and his manicurist wife. Their get-rich-quick scheme to rob a bank leave the characters rolling in dough -- but not the kind they had in mind.

Unless not stated otherwise in the description the items are new and sealed.
