Turning Point: Fall of Liberty (Xbox 360) : What if Winston Churchill had died on December 13, 1931 after he was struck by a cab while crossing 5th Ave. in New York, and wasn't alive to rally the Allied forces to confront the Nazis? Turning Point: Fall of Liberty uses this 'what if' idea to create a fast-paced Action/FPS game set in an alternate history where Winston Churchill is killed in 1931, England surrenders to Hitler in 1940, Pearl Harbor is never attacked by the Japanese, and America is not drawn into the war until the German Wehrmacht (war machine) lands on the U.S. east coast in 1953. Not another typical WWII game set in the European or Pacific theatres, Turning Point: Fall of Liberty sees history take a catastrophic turn for the worse as the game opens with the German invasion of the U.S. via New York. Taking the role of Dan Carson ? a reluctant New York City construction worker turned resistance fighter, gamers must survive the initial invasion before regrouping with other resistance members to take the fight back to the Nazis. Always outmanned and outgunned, players must use guerrilla tactics and hand to hand grapplin...

Eisenstein: The Sound Years - Alexander Nevsky / Ivan The Terrible, Pts. 1 & 2 (Russian) (Full Frame, Special Edition) : This trio of rousing action epics from director Sergei Eisenstein reveals a deeply unsettling portrait of the Soviet Union under Stalin. "Alexander Nevsky" (1938, 108 min.) - Eisenstein drew on history, Russian folk narratives and techniques of Walt Disney to create this epic tale of Alexander Nevsky's tactical brilliance. Widely imitated, the Battle on the Ice scene remains one of the most famous audio-visual experiments in film history, perfectly blending action with the rousing score of Sergei Prokofiev. "Ivan the Terrible, Part 1 and 2" (1945, 99 min. and 1958, 85 min.) - Eisenstein filmed two parts of his planned trilogy on the troubled 16th century Tsar who united Russia. Visually stunning and powerfully acted, "Ivan the Terrible" charts the rise to power and descent into madness of, essentially, a dictator. Though pleased with the first installment, Stalin detested the portrait in the second film - with its summary executions and secret police - and promptly banned it. Russian Dolby Digital 2.0 Mono with New English subtitle translations; "Alexander Nevsky" - Audio essay by Eisens...
