Keyword View: historical  Political intrigue, betrayal, peril and forbidden romance play out in this lavish, critically acclaimed, epic drama set in the royal palace of Korea's ancient Joseon Dynasty. Read More... PR Back to 1942 on Blu-ray, DVD & Digital May 14  This tragic retelling of historical events is based on Zhenyun Liu's best selling novel Remembering 1942. The Henan province disaster, where three million people died of starvation, was a humanitarian crisis first sparked by drought, then compounded by a combination of windstorms, government corruption and a war with Japan. In the midst of the devastation, an American journalist (Adrien Brody) searches for answers, and slowly comes to understand that there may be a greater connection between these tragedies and his political theories than he once thought. Read More... DVD Review LIZ & DICK  Exploitive much? Lindsey Lohan brings her tabloid gravitas to a movie picking over the bones of the woman, whose life was the material of tabloid legend. Not very good as a biography, not very good as a movie, this film careens from cringeworthy to boring. For Lohan completists only (or maybe Grant Bowler fans). 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 DOWNTON ABBEY SEASONS ONE & TWO LIMITED EDITION  It is rare when something lives up to the hype. Downton Abbey is Golden Globe winning, Emmy winning and everybody is talking about it and making fun of it. It is a phenomenon that is found on public television. It is simply great fun to watch. Highly recommended. Read More... PR Stitches on VOD, Digital, Blu-ray & DVD Apr 2  Years after a cruel kids' prank during a birthday party for 8-year-old Tommy (Tommy Knight) left hired clown Richard 'Stitches' Grindle (Ross Noble) dead on the kitchen floor, the childhood friends gather to plan a birthday bash to end all bashes. But they haven't counted on the degenerate jester rising from the grave... Read More... PR The Bible: The Epic Miniseries on Blu-ray & DVD Apr 2  From Genesis to Revelation, the series illuminates the Bible, re-telling the stories as they unfold and revealing new insights into these iconic characters in context of the Bible. The series will feature some of the most famous stories ever written from Noah's Ark and the Exodus to Daniel in the Lion's Den to the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus. Read More... PR Les Misérables on Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD and On Demand Mar 22  Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe and Anne Hathaway star in this stunningly realized interpretation of Victor Hugo's epic tale of broken dreams, passion, sacrifice and redemption - a timeless testament to the endurance of the human spirit. This cinematic event can now be experienced over and over again. Universal Studios Home Entertainment Read More... PR Shadow People on DVD & Blu-ray Mar 19  Are you willing to believe? Victims report waking from sleep to find themselves paralyzed, a noise buzzing in their head, while a shadowy figure stands watches them, or sometimes even climbs onto their bed. The sightings are widespread around the globe for centuries, but many are afraid to talk about their encounters. According to experts, these appearances may be tied to a medical mystery of unexplained nocturnal deaths. Read More... PR Schindler's List 20th Anniversary Limited Edition on Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD & Digital Copy Mar 5  Meticulously restored from the original film negative in pristine high definition, supervised by Steven Spielberg and includes bonus features that shed unprecedented light on the story of Oskar Schindler, a member of the Nazi party who risked his own life to save more than 1,100 Jews during the Holocaust. Universal Studios Home Entertainment Read More... PR Muay Thai Warrior on Blu-ray, DVD & Digital Mar 5  Betrayed and left for dead, a young Japanese samurai finds a new home in Siam and soon faces his greatest battle against the elite warriors he once regarded as brothers. Based on actual events from the 17th century's Ayutthaya period, Muay Thai Warrior combines lush visuals with a cast of Olympic athletes to provide viewers some of the most stunning and realistic Muay Thai techniques ever filmed for the big screen. Read More... DVD Review WHITE ZOMBIE (BLU-RAY)  Kino may have committed a huge miscue with the rather grotesque digitally restored transfer offered here, but the film remains a classic in its own right. The superb commentary track from film historian Frank Thompson and the unrestored 'raw' print are reason enough to pick this up. Recommended (but certainly NOT for the primary transfer). Read More... PR Independent Lens: More Than a Month on DVD Jan 29  Examines what the treatment of history tells us about race and power in contemporary America and asks the questions: How do we justify teaching American history as somehow separate from African American history? What does it mean that we have a Black History Month? What would it mean if we didn't? Read More... DVD Review FLORENCE AND THE SPIRIT OF THE RENAISSANCE  A flawed documentary that is saved by the fact the city of Florence and its relationship to the Renaissance is endlessly fascinating in itself. Read More... PR Little White Lies on Blu-ray & DVD Feb 5  Fun-loving friends suddenly must deal with a tragedy and confront the hard truths of their carefree lives in the hit French import starring Oscar winners Jean Dujardin and Marion Cotillard. in writer-director Guillaume Canet's acclaimed comedy-drama is set on the gorgeous French Riviera. Read More... DVD Review WOLF LAKE: THE COMPLETE SERIES  Werewolves. Shapeshifters. That is usually enough to get my interest, but the hook for this set complete series set (nine episodes) of a show dropped after just five episodes were broadcast is the inclusion of the unaired pilot, which shows a path the show could have taken and didn't. Could things have been different? Read More... DVD Review DIE NIBELUNGEN (BLU-RAY)  This is an epic release in every sense of the word, from the history of the films to the scope of the storytelling to the elaborate restoration process.
Read More... PR History Detectives: Season 10 on DVD Dec 11  Could these top experts have found the long-lost electric Fender Stratocaster Bob Dylan plugged in at the '65 Newport Folk Festival? They also track down some autographs allegedly signed during the Beatles' legendary U.S. tour in 1964, the story behind an old 78rpm distributed by K.K.K. Records, and an old Woolworth sign that may have been part of the scene at the 1960 Winston-Salem lunch-counter sit-ins. Top experts leave no stone unturned as they travel around the country to explore other findings such as details behind the heroic acts pictured in a poster about two African American soldiers in World War I and a hand-drawn map of Valley Forge that George Washington could have used.
