Keyword View: inventive 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... DVD Review BRAZIL (BLU-RAY)  Without question this is one of my top five favorite films of all time from one of my favorite directors, and Criterion's treatment - now on Blu-Ray - is equally epic.
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... DVD Review THE 39 STEPS (BLU-RAY)  Alfred Hitchcock was already a successful director when he adapted John Buchan's mystery thriller The Thirty-Nine Step, but this picture is where we see many of the staples of his later career come to fruition and gel in a way that few directors before or since have managed to accomplish. Criterion does this seminal movie proud in a loaded special edition that features a lovely and clean high-definition transfer of very difficult source material. Read More... DVD Review JUAN OF THE DEAD  How will Havana respond to the zombie apocalypse? This zombie comedy from Cuba is sometimes scattershot, but also pointed, gory, and funny. Read More... DVD Review LES VAMPIRES (BLU-RAY)  Louis Feuillade's ten-part crime thriller serial from 1915/1916 remains a hellzapoppin' funhouse ride nearly 100 years later, but one character in particular steals the 7-hour show.
Read More... PR My Sucky Teen Romance on DVD & Blu-ray Sep 4  On 17-year-old Kate's last weekend in town before heading to college, she and her geeky friends head to SpaceCON, the local sci-fi/fantasy convention. There, Kate meets Paul, a recently turned teen vampire (who takes advantage of the gathering's costume atmosphere by actually dressing as a bloodsucker). But when Kate tries to make a move on him, he gives her the hickey from hell. Read More... DVD Review THOU SHALT NOT KILL...EXCEPT (BLU-RAY)  I tried to watch this movie 10 years or so ago and simply couldn't get through it. Now, with Synapse responsible for this new Blu-ray treatment I'm more than willing to give the film another shot. Read More... DVD Review DAVID LEAN DIRECTS NOEL COWARD (BLU-RAY)  Criterion's Blu-Ray boxset of four David Lean/Noel Coward films from the 1940s is a winner on all fronts. The films are a varied lot in terms of storylines - ranging from war's brutalities to family drama to playful ghosts to extramarital affairs, but each are awash in Coward's raw wordplay and Lean's visual talents.
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... PR Hitting the App Store on Mar 6, "Monty Python: The Holy Book of Days"  Hitting the App Store on March 6th, "Monty Python: The Holy Book of Days" fully submerges Python fans in the world of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Melcher created this app together with John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin of Monty Python to give a behind-the-scenes look at the filming of the troupe's second feature film. App re-creates the 28 days of location shooting of the landmark film Monty Python and the Holy Grail Sony Picture Home Entertainment Read More... DVD Review WORLD ON A WIRE (BLU-RAY)  This is one of those classics of foreign cinema that I've known about since I was a kid, but have never actually seen. What better way to experience all 3-plus hours of this masterpiece for the first time than via a Criterion Collection Blu-ray. Read More... DVD Review INSIGNIFICANCE (Criterion Blu-ray)  It's always great to see a Nicolas Roeg film for the first time, but it's even better when it stars Theresa Russell and is contained on a Criterion Collection Blu-ray disc. Read More... DVD Review THE SINS OF MADAME BOVARY  This 1969 retread of the classic Flaubert tome is really best know for launching the meteoric career of the undeniably sexy Edwige Fenech. Other than that, there's not much here. Read More... PR Jackass 3.5: The Unrated Movie on Blu-ray & DVD Jun 14  Over 30 minutes of exclusive, never-before-seen footage. Bonus features include outrageous outtakes and deleted scenes, as well as a look at the origins of the Jackass franchise and footage from the Jackass European tour where the troupe brought mayhem across the pond to England, Ireland and Spain while filming more of their insanely inventive stunts. Read More... PR The Green Hornet on 3-Disc Blu-ray 3D Combo Pack, Blu-ray & DVD May 3  Seth Rogen stars as a self-made superhero in this high-octane buddy action/adventure co-starring Asian pop superstar Jay Chou, Tom Wilkinson, Oscar Winner Christoph Waltz and Cameron Diaz. Oscar winning director Michel Gondry brings his unique, cutting-edge visual style to this slick updating of the classic adventures of the masked vigilante The Green Hornet and his industrious sidekick Kato. Sony Picture Home Entertainment Read More... PR April DVD Releases from IFC Films  A dangerously addictive online game, a wondrous mysterious tale, a chilling tale, a vivid and bizarre imagination, and a sensual drama are titles coming from the indie entertainment outfit. Read More... DVD Review THE GOOD THE BAD THE WEIRD  Kim Jee-woon nails the whole American/spaghetti western mythos, only here set in the rough and tumble gun-toting world of 1930's Manchuria. Crammed with nonstop action and terrific comedy, this is the kind of joyous absurdity of well-choreographed excess that makes me absolutely love movies.
