Keyword View: 1960s PR Nova: Mind of a Rampage Killer on DVD May 28  What makes a person walk into a theater or a church or a classroom full of students and open fire? In the wake of the tragic events in Newtown, a growing body of scientific research is bringing us closer to understanding the complex web of circumstances that can conspire to produce a rampage killer: uncontrolled violent urges, depression, and perceived social isolation. Read More... PR The Powerbroker: Whitney Young's Fight for Civil Rights on DVD Apr 30  During the 1960s, as the executive director of the National Urban League, Whitney Young was one of the few African Americans who had the ear of those who controlled the levers of power: Fortune 500 CEOs, governors, senators, and presidents. He used these relationships to gain better access to employment, education, housing, and healthcare for African Americans, other minorities, and those in need. Read More... DVD Review A HAUNTING: THE 2012 SEASON  I haven't exactly heard great things about this show, and it seems awfully derivative of other supernatural reality series, but if it's even the least bit spooky, then I'm definitely on board. Read More... PR Not Fade Away on Blu-ray & DVD Apr 30  Tells the coming-of-age story of three friends growing up in the suburbs of New Jersey during the turbulent '60s. When they decide to form a band to try and make it big, they begin to see the world through the intoxicating prism of rock-and-roll. Featuring an outstanding soundtrack supervised by music guru Steven Van Zandt. Read More... PR Searching for Sugar Man on DVD & Blu-ray Jan 22  The critically-acclaimed film profiling the incredible but true story of Rodriguez, the greatest '70s rock icon who never was, debuts on Blu-ray(TM) and DVD January 22nd from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. Rodriguez was discovered in a Detroit bar in the late 1960s by two celebrated producers who were struck by his soulful melodies and prophetic lyrics. Sony Pictures Home Entertainment Read More... DVD Review MANSON  I've always been aware of the Manson Family murders, but I've never had a direct knowledge of the minute details behind them. I have a feeling, despite some assumedly awful acting during the dramatization portions of this film, I'll know a lot more once it's finished. Read More... DVD Review DARK SHADOWS (BLU-RAY)  Despite a slew of bad reviews, I'm still excited to see what Tim Burton has in store for the great character of Barnabas Collins. At worst, it sure looks like Depp is having a blast with the role. Read More... PR Jess Franco's Female Vampire & Exorcism on Blu-ray Oct 16  For years, Jess Franco has been a favorite of Euro horror enthusiasts -- for the dreamlike tone of his films and the sheer audacity with which he indulges his morbid sexual curiosity. With the release of these Blu-ray editions, Kino Lorber brings Franco to a wider audience, and places him alongside Mario Bava and Jean Rollin in the pantheon of cult directors ripe for rediscovery. Read More... PR Beatles Stories on DVD Oct 2  Nearly five decades later, The Beatles are still captivating audiences everywhere and are considered the most influential musicians of all time, according to Rolling Stone. Along with their musical legacy, The Beatles left behind personal stories with those lucky people who were able to share a moment with these legends. Read More... DVD Review QUADROPHENIA (BLU-RAY)  The brand new Who-approved 5.1 surround mix is the selling point here, because it transforms and rejuvenates the overall experience into something wonderfully larger than life. No doubt the way it was intended.
Read More... PR Au Pair Girls on blu-ray Sep 25  Helmed by veteran director Val Guest this '70s British sex comedy about four girls who come to London to work in au pair jobs and immerse themselves in the wild lifestyles of swinging London. Read More... News Joe South Dies at 72, 'Games People Play' Singer Posted by: News Editor - September 6, 2012, 2:59 pm - News DVD Review BURKE & HARE (BLU-RAY)  This is a curiosity, if nothing else. It is a fairly straightforward recitation of the legend of those famous 1800s-era-Scotland/dead-body-sellers William Burke and William Hare, mixed with some tired attempts at humor and frequent nudity. Read More... DVD Review UP ALL NIGHT WITH ROBERT DOWNEY SR. (ECLIPSE SERIES 33)  Experimental and subversive, but more than that...funny. Robert Downey, Sr.'s output in the 60s and 70s makes for some of the best underground filmmaking of the era. Read More... DVD Review DARK SHADOWS: THE BEST OF BARNABAS  If you're looking for something to clear your palate after having been exposed to the Depp/Burton reimagining of the classic series Dark Shadows as a brainless sex comedy, you can hardly do better than this collection of nine of the episodes of that original series featuring the late great Jonathan Frid. Barnabas Collins, as portrayed by Frid, was the original tormented vampire, making possible the empires of Anne Rice and Twilight, and this selection points up some of what made him so irresistible all those years ago. Read More... DVD Review 42ND STREET FOREVER  If the thought of nearly four hours of B-movie trailers from the late 1960s/early 1970s - blaxploitation, sexploitation, martial arts, horror, sci-fi, vengeance, etc - gets you as giddy as it does me then the 42nd Street Forever: The Blu-Ray Edition from Synapse is necessary viewing.
Read More... PR Bill Moyers' Capitol Crimes on DVD Apr 17  Peabody Award-winning journalist Bill Moyers (PBS, NBC, CBS) explores how "super lobbyist" Jack Abramoff rode a wave of corruption to enrich himself and promote his causes - from Indian casinos in Louisiana to the Moscow offices of Russia's new oligarchs - taking down other Washington heavyweights in the process. The DVD set includes a bonus disc with Buying the War, a 83-minute bonus examination of the media's role in the 2003 invasion of Iraq; segments from Bill Moyers Journal; a 8-page viewer's guide; and much more ($49.99, AthenaLearning.com). Capitol Crimes is Athena's eleventh release from Moyers' acclaimed library of programs. Read More... PR Shinsuke Ogawa's Red Persimmons Out on DVD  From legendary Japanese director Shinsuke Ogawa (A Summer in Narita, Peasants of the Second Fortress, The Building of the Iwayama Tower) and his disciple, feminist filmmaker Peng Xiolian (Shanghai Story, A Woman of Substance). Red Persimmons is a visually elegant paean to the cultivation and harvesting of the sweet red fruit in the tiny Japanese village of Kaminoyama. The film's larger subject, however, is the disappearance of Japan's traditional culture, the end of a centuries-old way of life. Begun by Ogawa in the late 1980s. Read More... |
