Unfortunately, that privacy is short-lived as she discovers a peeping tomť next-door neighbor that spies on her all the time. When the doctor&#039;s wife learns of the affair, poor Ryoko gets caught in a web of jilted lovers, frisky lesbians, slapstick sexual assault and embarrassing incidents with household appliances.

She&#039;s smart, sexy, and willing to do almost anything for her sex-starved new boss but, since he&#039;s married, his deviant behavior makes her uncomfortable. Fed up with the boss and his perverted ways, the ladies in the building band together to plot their own special kind of revenge but only after they have a lesbian three-way slumber party, of course! HORNY WORKING GIRL: FROM 5 TO 9 will have your libido working overtime!</description>

Harry (Graham Kennedy), a hard-edged Special Air Service Corporal, meets a new company of soldiers during his second tour in Vietnam. There&#039;s the naive Bill (John Jarratt), the easy-going Bung (John Hargreaves), the blunt Rogers (Bryan Brown), the pragmatic Dawson (Graeme Blundell), and the youthful and innocent Scott (Ian Gilmour). Because of their training as professional soldiers from Australia&#039;s toughest Army unit, these men believe they can deal with any situation. They pass the time playing practical jokes, getting into drunken brawls and humoring themselves to keep their minds off the war. But, when the first odd angry shot rings out, and an enemy mortar barrage hits their camp causing many casualties, the men realize their protective shield of humor is no defense at all against the harsh realities of armed combat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bonus Features: Original Theatrical Trailer, Audio Commentary with Director and Producer, Buddy Joe Hooker Featurette&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Schoolgirl Report V10: &quot;Every Girl Starts Sometime&quot;&lt;br /&gt;(aka Sexy Schoolwork)&lt;br /&gt;Label: Impulse Pictures&lt;br /&gt;Run Time: 81 Minutes&lt;br /&gt;In German with English subtitlles&lt;br /&gt;Color Widescreen 1.66:1&lt;br /&gt;Dolby Digital Mono&lt;br /&gt;All Regions&lt;br /&gt;Production year: 1976&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A classroom discussion about legislation and morals leads to some all-new sexy stories with the popular SCHOOLGIRL REPORT cuties. This all-new volume of the popular German erotic series will have you laughing in your seat and unable to stand up (if you know what we mean). A high school teacher is accused of assaulting the young Susanne while personally tutoring her, but the truth is much crazier than fiction in this pants-swelling tale. Inga is very shy about sex, but loves to only touch herself. Little does she know, as she begins her search for the ultimate encounter, that she&#039;ll end up in a room full of horny men with plans all their own! In the third story, a pool party turns into an illicit affair for one boy who, on a dare, tries to seduce his girlfriend&#039;s mother... but the secretive girlfriend has a shocking hidden agenda. In what may be the craziest story yet in a SCHOOLGIRL REPORT film, a young couple fool a family by staging an entire Exorcist scenario to have sex, with the boyfriend being the religious savior and the girl as the demonically possessed innocent! And in the final story, a young schoolgirl becomes the mistress of a much older man but, when his wife finds out, all hell breaks loose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bonus Features: Chapter Selections, Newly Translated Removable English Subtitles&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description>

Luc Merenda gives the performance of his career as a highly regarded police detective who is taking syndicate money in exchange for departmental favors. His father, a simple man, also works for the department but at a lower level; he isn&#039;t jealous of his son, but rather proud of him, little knowing that he&#039;s a crooked cop. A series of events leads the young detective to ask his father for a favor (he wants a certain police report that is desired by the syndicate) and it doesn&#039;t take long for the detective&#039;s father to realize his son is on the take, which leads to numerous complications. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;KIDNAP SYNDICATE SYNOPSIS&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fabrizio, a blue collar kid is friends with Antonio, a son of the extremely rich but incredibly repugnant businessman Filippini. When criminals kidnap Antonio in front of school, the brave Fabrizio tries to prevent this and the nervous kidnappers pull him into the car as well. They demand a huge ransom for the boys, but when the fathers of the two boys try to get the boys back on their own terms they get entangled in gangster mayhem. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NAKED VIOLENCE SYNOPSIS&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A teacher of an evening school for youngsters with social problems is brutally raped and murdered right in her classroom. The only suspects are the students and the police are surprised to find them all quietly in their homes. There is a reason. Each kid declares that he did not participate in the brutality but was forced to watch. The police officer Lamberti has reasons to believe that someone, an adult, has orchestrated the kids whose name they are too afraid to mention. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SPECIAL FEATURES:&lt;br /&gt;New HD Transfer from original 35 mm negative print / Digitally restored / Original trailers&lt;br /&gt;New and improved English subtitle translation&lt;br /&gt;Documentary/The Master of the Game&lt;br /&gt;Documentary/The Second Round of the Game&lt;br /&gt;Documentary/Goodfellas&lt;br /&gt;Documentary/Fernando di Leo at the Cinemathaque Francaise&lt;br /&gt;Documentary/Violent Cities: the Other Fernando di Leo&#039;s Trilogy&lt;br /&gt;Fully illustrated booklet containing critical analysis</description>

      <title>Three DVD Tribute to Jess Franco coming from Redemption and Kino Lorber!</title>
      <link>http://www.shockingimages.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=588</link>
      <description>&lt;img src=&#039;http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs158/1102056358225/img/963.jpg&#039; class=&#039;left&#039; border=&#039;0&#039; alt=&#039;&#039; onload=&quot;JavaScript:if(this.width&gt;300) this.width=300&quot; /&gt;Kino Lorber and Redemption Films celebrate the cinematic legacy of director Jess Franco&lt;br /&gt;Deluxe Blu-ray and DVD editions of &lt;strong&gt;The Awful Dr. Orlof&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A Virgin Among the Living Dead &lt;/strong&gt;and &lt;strong&gt;Nightmares Come at Night &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;presented in association with Eurociné to be released in August 2013!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kino Lorber and Redemption Films celebrate the cinematic legacy of director Jess Franco with deluxe Blu-ray and DVD editions of three of his most important films, presented in association with Eurociné: The Awful Dr. Orlof (1962), A Virgin Among the Living Dead (1973) and Nightmares Come at Night (1970). Though highly regarded among cult movie enthusiasts, Franco is a notorious figure within the world of horror, for the savage eroticism and obsessive nature of his films, which defy the conventional structure and tone of the typical thriller. &quot;Too arty for the horror crowd and too macabre and lowbrow for the art crowd,&quot; Fangoria editor Chris Alexander wrote, &quot;He existed in a world of his own, a class of his own.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Born Jesús Franco Manera in 1930, credited on a variety of pseudonyms (such as Clifford Brown and A.M. Frank), he is best known as Jess Franco, director of such horror/sexploitation films as Female Vampire (1973), Exorcism (1975), and Vampyros Lesbos (1971). Franco directed almost 200 features, in virtually every genre, and was perhaps at his best when working with his muses, Soldedad Miranda (1943-1970) and Lina Romay (1954-2012). Because he made so many films, which were released in multiple versions and under various titles, and because he so frequently employed a pseudonym, a complete Franco filmography is likely impossible to compile. Franco died Tuesday April 2, 2013, at the age of 82, after being hospitalized for a stroke on March 27.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Franco was, and is, a true hero of exploitation cinema. A man who loved, ate and slept film,&quot; recalls Redemption founder Nigel Wingrove, &quot;and who in his heart was an artist and like most artists he had his flaws and weaknesses but ultimately what made him an artist was that he could do nothing else but make films. He may have used a camera rather than a paintbrush and film instead of a canvas, but that was because film was his blood, and he only stopped filming when his blood stopped flowing and his heart, like his camera, finally stopped.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In August, 2013, Redemption will commemorate Franco with a special Blu-ray edition of his breakthrough film, The Awful Dr. Orlof (1962), featuring &quot;The Horror of Orlof,&quot; one of the last videotaped interviews with Franco (directed by David Gregory and produced by Elijah Drenner). Newly mastered in HD, this is the original French-language version (the film was later censored and padded with inconsequential footage for release in Spain). Among other features, the disc will include a brand new commentary track by Tim Lucas (founder and editor of Video Watchdog), as well as a newly-filmed remembrances by Franco&#039;s friends and collaborators (directed by Daniel Gouyette).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&#039;http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs158/1102056358225/img/961.jpg&#039; class=&#039;left&#039; border=&#039;0&#039; alt=&#039;&#039; onload=&quot;JavaScript:if(this.width&gt;300) this.width=300&quot; /&gt;Lesser-known in the director&#039;s canon (because for more than 40 years it was considered a lost film), Nightmares Come at Night is an erotic thriller starring Soledad Miranda and Diana Lorys. In the years since its rediscovery, Nightmares has become embraced as quintessential Franco for its facile blending of horror, eroticism, and the surreal. The disc will feature a Lucas commentary, and a second memorial video by Gouyette, and a third mini-documentary to be announced.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The pičce de résistance of the collection is A Virgin Among the Living Dead, which features Franco&#039;s original cut in its entirety (Christina, Princess of Eroticism), as well as the more commonly-available recut version (with zombie footage directed by Jean Rollin: A Virgin Among the Living Dead), as well as a deleted orgy scene, featuring Alice Arno, which was shot for a third incarnation of the film. The disc also includes &quot;Mysterious Dreams,&quot; one of the last videotaped interviews with Franco (directed by Gregory and produced by Drenner), as well as a third collection of posthumous tributes by the director&#039;s friends and collaborators.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All three films were newly-mastered in HD from archival film elements from Eurocine Paris, are presented in French with optional English subtitles or English dubbed, produced for video by Bret Wood.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2014, Redemption will continue to pay its respects to Franco with at least three additional Blu-rays of his notorious films.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As Tim Lucas recently wrote in a memorial piece, &quot;Jess Franco is finished with life, but life is far from finished with him.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description>

      <title>The Cold Eyes of Fear &amp; The Sinful Nuns of St. Valentine hit Blu Ray &amp; DVD May 21st!</title>

      <description>&lt;img src=&#039;http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/81VQuSL1wDL._SL1500_.jpg&#039; class=&#039;left&#039; border=&#039;0&#039; alt=&#039;&#039; onload=&quot;JavaScript:if(this.width&gt;300) this.width=300&quot; /&gt;Kino Lorber and Redemption are proud to announce the Blu-ray and DVD releases of Cold Eyes of Fear, directed by Enzo G. Castellari, the director of the original The Inglorious Bastards; and The Sinful Nuns of St. Valentine, directed by Sergio Grieco, and loosely based on a play by Victor Hugo.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Both films come to Blu-ray and DVD on May 21, 2013, with individual SRPs of $24.95 each for the Blu-ray editions, and $19.95 each for the DVD editions. Both are mastered in HD from the original 35mm negatives. Cold Eyes of Fear is English dubbed and includes the original theatrical trailer plus original trailers of other Redemption releases. The Sinful Nuns of St. Valentine is presented in Italian with optional English subtitles, and includes original trailers of other Redemption releases. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During the golden age of the grindhouse and the waning years of the drive-in, the Italian film industry provided American exploitation screens with some of its most savory product. In addition to the more commonly known genres of spaghetti western, Eurocrime and supernatural horror, Italian filmmakers fused other ingredients together to form even more eclectic types of film. Cold Eyes of Fear is a fascinating hybrid of Poliziotteschi (police films) and gialli (erotic horror), while The Sinful Nuns of St. Valentine embodies all the classic traits of the controversial genre known as nunsploitation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Click Read More for more info and release specs!</description>
