Synopsis:

The following is from the DVD description:

“The assassination of President John F. Kennedy in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963, left a psychic wound on America that is with us still today. Few Americans then or now accept that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone to bring down a president and alter history.

More than 40 years after Kennedy’s death, 70% of Americans continue to believe that the 46-year-old president’s murder was the result of a conspiracy. Did Lee Harvey Oswald (pictured here), a 24-year-old former Marine and communist sympathizer, act alone? Was he influenced by Cuban dictator Fidel Castro or a rogue element of the CIA? Did the KGB or the Russian government order the killing? ‘How could someone as inconsequential as Lee Harvey Oswald have killed someone as consequential as John F. Kennedy?’ asks historian Robert Dallek. That question continues to haunt us.

Oswald’s Ghost, an American Experience program scheduled to premiere on WGBH and other PBS stations on Jan. 14, 2008, takes a fresh look at Kennedy’s assassination, the public’s reaction to the tragedy, and the government investigations that instead of calming fears led to a widespread loss of trust in the institutions that govern our society.”

Running Time: 96 Minutes

Synopsis:

The following is from the DVD description:

“No one will mistake Jeff Reigert (Paul Rudd) for Moses or even Charlton Heston, but they all have something in common. Like Moses and Heston, Jeff’s job is to introduce the world to the Ten Commandments. But, in David Wain’s loopy comedy ‘The Ten,’ he is not exactly the picture of virtue…In fact, surrounded as he is by gigantic replicas of the famous stone tablets, the genial host to this special presentation is so busy juggling wife Gretchen (Famke Janssen) and girlfriend (Jessica Alba) that he can barely get through a single commandment without breaking one himself. But that venality is part of the charm of this amiable, outrageous and frequently hilarious biblical parody. Wain and Marino use the commandments as an excuse to indulge in ridiculous, often surreal and sometimes tasteless humor… it lives up to the one unbendable commandment of comedy: It’s funny.”

“The Ten” is rated R for pervasive strong crude sexual content including dialogue and nudity, and for language and some drug material.
