Keyword View: conflict DVD Review THE LIFE AND DEATH OF COLONEL BLIMP (BLU-RAY)  This beautifully restored British comedy has a great deal to say about aging and war without ever losing its light touch. Read More... PR The Great Divide on DVD Apr 16  One Friday evening at their monthly get-together, Tosha introduces her friends to a game she created to complete her studies. The game is designed to elicit the feelings and impressions men and women have about each other. To play, the friends divide themselves men against women and as the game intensifies, deeply hidden secrets surface, conflicting views arise, passions boil over, tempers flare, and ... a baby is born, spawning from... Read More... PR The Other Son on Blu-ray & DVD Mar 19  Lorraine Levy won the Best Director award at the 2012 Tokyo International Film Festival As he is preparing to join the Israeli army for his national service, Tel Aviv resident Joseph (Jules Sitruk) discovers he is not his parents' biological son, and that he was inadvertently switched at birth with Yacine (Mehdi Dehbi), the son of a Palestinian family from the West Bank. Two young men from opposite sides of a bitter social and religious divide discover that they are really not who they were brought up to be in the powerful drama. Read More... PR Vietnam: The Ten Thousand Day War on DVD Apr 10  Written by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and CNN correspondent Peter Arnett and narrated by actor Richard Basehart, is the real story behind the longest, most controversial war in modern history. Presented on 4 DVDs with clarity, authority and insight, this nearly 10-hour documentary is a comprehensive, balanced look at the entire conflict, examining the shifting attitudes of the United States toward Vietnam from 1945, when the battleground was known as French Indochina to 1975, when Saigon fell to the North Vietnamese. Read More... PR The Thieves on Blu-ray & DVD Feb 12  Korea's highest-grossing movie to date, with more than a half-million tickets sold on the first day and over 10 million tickets sold in the first three weeks. Director Dong-hoo Choi's high stakes heist film follows five thieves at the top of their game as they plan to plan to pull off a major Casino robbery. Read More... DVD Review THE QATSI TRILOGY (BLU-RAY)  I've never experienced director Godfrey Reggio's game-changing, unique trilogy, but there's no better excuse to finally see them than this great new Blu-ray box set from The Criterion Collection. Read More... DVD Review TROUBLED TEENS  There's generally a kitschy cool to educational shorts, but this batch of teen-themed material is often more of a downer than a laugh-fest. If you're a completist of the series you'll want to pick this up, otherwise I'd say not so much. Read More... PR American Experience: The Abolitionists on DVD Jan 22  Radicals. Agitators. Troublemakers. Liberators. Called by many names, the abolitionists tore the nation apart in order to create a more perfect union. Men and women, black and white, Northerners and Southerners, poor and wealthy, these passionate anti-slavery activists fought body and soul in the most important civil rights crusade in American history. Read More... DVD Review PURPLE NOON (BLU-RAY)  Alain Delon's beautiful and cold Tom Ripley is one of film's all-time great villains, and this new edition of Purple Noon shows off the film's sensuous pleasures to great effect. Read More... PR The Joy Luck Club on Blu-ray Dec 11  Four older women, all Chinese immigrants living in San Francisco, meet regularly to play mahjong, eat, and tell stories. Each of these women has an adult Chinese-American daughter. The film reveals the hidden pasts of the older women and explores cultural conflict and the relationships between mothers and daughters. The film is structured as a series of vignettes told from the perspectives of the different women. Read More... Article The Newsroom: Cable News Media Played for Laughs and Cries  If everybody hates it, that usually means I like it. The Newsroom on HBO is one of the best things to come along in a while. Not just because it is Aaron Sorkin, not just because Jeff Daniels is not Tom Hanks and certainly not just because I hate the Tea Party too. All over the place and almost like the real thing, it is television worth watching. Read More... DVD Review WORKAHOLICS SEASONS 1 & 2 (BLU-RAY)  It's an outrageous stoner-slacker-office comedy from Comedy Central that explodes in outrageous situations and bits that are as off-the-wall as could ever be hoped for or expected. It's good just to laugh. It doesn't have to mean anything. There is explicit content and it is recommended for mature audiences... yeah right. Read More... DVD Review THE SAMURAI TRILOGY (BLU-RAY)  As a cumulative tale this is exciting and dramatic, but as three separate films only two manage to hold up all that well. Read More... PR Nature: Cracking the Koala Code on DVD & Blu-ray Jul 24  The film explores the day-to-day dramas of an extended family of koalas, seen through the eyes of the scientists studying their every move and vocalization. Fascinating social dynamics include territorial displays, vicious fighting and the surprising life and loves of a 'traveling salesman,' a rogue male who truly plays the field. New science even 'cracks the koala communication code,' providing insights into their basic language and social structure. Read More...

PR Jem And The Holograms: Season Three on DVD Jul 10  With Jem and The Holograms at the height of their success, there's a new band in town -- The Stingers! -- and they're not about to let Jem and her music group take all the limelight.

PR John Carter on Combo Pack, Blu-ray 3D, HD Digital, DVD and On-Demand Jun 5 As a warrior lost on Earth, John Carter is magically transported to Mars, where the fate of the planet and its people ultimately rest in his hands.
