After a bit of Haiku recitation, Mark & Steven take a look at the movie "Witness” which is newly available in a bare-bones Blu-ray from Warner Bros; it is also available via Amazon Instant.

From Steven's article: Bearing ‘Witness’ to the possibility of true community

Like the great barn-raising scene late in the second act, the film’s construction is both efficient and unhurried, functional and beautiful. Like the barn, it is a noble but wistful landmark; there is something defiantly out of step about it, even in the Hollywood landscape of 1985, and certainly today.
