About this product: Watching this enthralling documentary, one inevitably wonders how Islam, a beautiful religion, could have become synonymous with fear and hatred, even after 9/11. Inside Islam explores the historic and poetic wellspring of the Muslim people and illuminates startling commonalities among Islam, Christianity, and Judaism. Shades of difference between Islam's foundation and that of its counterparts prove more fascinating than divisive, e.g., Islam claims a direct line with Abraham via the latter's cast-off son, Ismael, while Judaism is linked to Abraham's more favored child, Isaac. Jesus, the Virgin Mary, and the angel Gabriel each play major roles in the Quran; it was Gabriel, in fact, who transmitted the Word of God to the 40-year-old, seemingly ordinary Muhammad in the 7th century, making him extraordinary to millions today. Sure, anti-Western sentiment creeps into the story, but in every important way Inside Islam is an antidote to gross anti-Muslim bigotry. --Tom Keogh

About this product: Bad Religion: Along the Way is a vigorous account of the seminal punk band's swing through Germany during its acclaimed, 1989 Suffer Tour. Interspersing low-definition video footage from multiple dates (often within the same song, thus explaining lead vocalist Greg Graffin's many changes of shirts), Along the Way showcases the then-10-year-old, ever-changing group at a creative peak and featuring at least three original members. Guitarist (and founder of Epitaph Records) Brett Gurewitz leads the charge on an ironically bright-eyed "Suffer," and thrusts the playful, smart "Doing Time" into an impressive feedback maw. While stage-diving fans bop around an unflappable Graffin, the band rolls out some of its most impressive, if lyrically ponderous, material, including the epic "Latch Key Kids" and the pop-laced "Along the Way." This DVD works in three short breaks between songs for quickie interviews, including one in which Graffin, on his Ph.D track at the time, compares performing to teaching. --Tom Keogh
