The Relic [Blu-ray] $11.99 A mythological creature stalks the halls of a museum during a society fundraiser in this cheap sci-fi horror genre knock-off of Alien (1979). Penelope Ann Miller stars as Dr. Margo Green, an evolutionary biologist at Chicago's Field Museum of Natural History who receives a shipment of artifacts from a colleague performing fieldwork in Brazil. Among the contents are leaves containing a rare fungus that, unbeknownst to Green or anyone else, attracts the palate of a rapidly mutating, lizard-like monster called Kothoga that has stowed away on a Brazilian freighter and has found a subterranean route into the museum from Lake Michigan. Before long, several museum employees have become decapitated snack food for the beast, which prefers to dine on human hypothalamuses and pituitary glands. Despite dire warnings from the museum staff, a gruff coroner (Audra Lindley) and the investigating detective, Lt. Vincent D'Agosta (Tom Sizemore), the Windy City's oblivious mayor orders a black-tie museum fundraiser to proceed. During the event, the building's high-tech security system locks Green, D'Agosta, the mayor, and many chi-chi party guests in with the hungry animal, forcing everyone to attempt an escape through an underground waterway with which Kothoga is all too familiar. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

General Lee with Civil War Relic Framed Photograph $99.95 A framed General Lee photo with Civil War relic is a must-have for any Civil War or Confederate Army aficionado. The photograph has an air of formality about it, and will fit in perfectly into any office or parlor. The Robert E Lee photo is the perfect way to celebrate a man who ended up encouraging others to join together again as the United States of America. Shown in a General Lee photo, Robert Edward Lee (January 19, 1807 " October 12, 1870) was a career U.S. Army officer and the most celebrated general of the Confederate forces during the American Civil War. Lee's greatest victories were the Seven Days Battles, the Second Battle of Bull Run, the Battle of Fredericksburg, and the Battle of Chancellorsville, but both of his campaigns to invade the North ended in failure. Not shown in the Robert E Lee photo, after barely escaping defeat at the Battle of Antietam in 1862, Lee was forced to return to Virginia. In early July 1863, Lee was decisively defeated at the Battle of Gettysburg in Pennsylvania. However, due to ineffectual pursuit by the commander of Union forces, Maj. Gen. George Meade, Lee escaped again to Virginia. In many a civil war photo, Lee's victories against superior forces won him enduring fame as a crafty and daring battlefield tactician, but his strategic decisions, such as invading the North in 1862 and 1863 and overlooking the Mississippi Valley, have generally been criticized by military historians. Not pictured in the General Lee photo, in the final months of the Civil War, as manpower reserves drained away, Lee adopted a plan to arm slaves to fight on behalf of the Confederacy, but this came too late to change the outcome of the war. After Appomattox, Lee discouraged Southern dissenters from starting a guerrilla campaign to continue the war, and encouraged reconciliation between the North and South. This framed photograph of General Lee contains an authentic Civil War relic bullet with certificate of authenticity. Shop for the General Lee photo with Civil War relic and frame for a rare glimpse at the most famous Confederate officer.

Crater Lake: Relic of a Vanished Mountain $11.51 Crater Lake is the remnant of one of North Americas greatest cataclysms. See the story of its creation as told in the legends of the Klamath people-whose ancestors witnessed this battle of the gods of the above- and underworlds, Llao and Skell. Explore Wizard Island and Phantom Ship-both remnants of past volcanic activity.

Rare underwater photography provides a unique view of Crater Lakes crystal clear waters. Wildlife is an essential part of the wonder and enchantment most visitors experience at Crater Lake. The magnificent bald eagle makes its home here-as do black bear, elk, mule deer, chipmunk, ground squirrel, coyote, fox, porcupine, and the raucous Clarks nutcracker. Witness the dramatic spectacle of winter when brilliant blue waters reflect the ragged caldera rim, deep evergreen forests are cloaked in dazzling snow, and a profound silence intensifies the enchantment of Crater Lakes magnificent display of Natures creative hand.
