In Fire, NOVA reveals the historic evolution of firefighting and fire prevention by revealing how today's sophisticated arsenal of weapons battle flames from subways to skyscrapers. Rare fire footage, dramatic re-creations and expert insights reveal fascinating details from the Great Fire of London of 1666 through the invention of automatic sprinklers to tomorrow's futuristic firefi! ghting tools.Stop, drop, and roll! Fire is a terrifying force ! of natur e that can tear through a house or office in seconds, leaving only a trail of wreckage and bodies. But, as Nova reports in Escape! Because Accidents Happen: Fire, there is some hope against this unpredictable enemy. Scientists and architects are working together to improve the safety of our buildings and public structures so as to avoid catastrophes such as the terrible 1987 London subway fire that took 31 lives, and firefighters are continually developing new equipment to help them survive the 1,000-degree temperatures inside raging fires. Using interviews with fire-safety professionals and survivors, footage from terrible disasters, and film clips from testing laboratories, Nova shows that more and more fires are preventable and survivable and offers suggestions for viewers to improve their own chances. --Rob LightnerThis set of Ho Figures has been sculpted with detail and are hand painted with high detail.

A 1970s-set comedy centered on three upstart professional men working at an insurance company. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 08/17/2010 Starring: Ricky Gervais Emily Watson Run time: 95 minutes Rating: RRicky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, the duo behind the BBC's Office, travel back to 1973 for this serio-comic coming-of-age story. Inspired by Gervais's Reading hometown, Cemetery Junction is the type of small-minded burg Freddie Taylor (Christian Cooke, likable and at! tractive) longs to escape. Fortunately, he receives a job offer from Mr. Kendrick (a smarmy Ralph Fiennes), leading to a gig selling life insurance. His best mates, the goofy Snork (Jack Doolan) and rebellious Bruce (Tom Hughes, the film's true star), can't imagine anything more dull, but Freddie, who wants to travel the world, sees it as his way out. Kendrick pairs Freddie with Mike (Matthew Goode, great value), who proves that the nice-guy approach loses sales (Emily Watson shines as Kendrick's browbeaten wife). While Freddie pines for the boss's daughter (and Mike's fiancée), Julie (Felicity Jones), Bruce works with Freddie's father, Len (Gervais), in a factory, and tangles with the law (refreshingly, the local sergeant has a sympathetic side). If things end as one might expect, that doesn't make Cemetery Junction any less enjoyable, but it does help to explain why it didn't receive a U.S. theatrical release. By focusing on a young Brit anxious to find his place ! in the world, the directors provide a companion piece to pictu! res like Starter for 10 and An Education. Familiar or not, it's still superior to most mainstream comedies… including a few with which Gervais has been involved. A soundtrack filled with energizing glam-rock classics further elevates their efforts. --Kathleen C.
