Keyword View: disturbed 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 VIRGINIA  Academy Award Winning screenwriter Dustin Lance Black takes his first crack at directing a feature film here. Here's hoping a great ensemble cast and interesting subject matter makes this a compelling debut. Read More... PR The Sailor Who Fell From Grace With The Sea on Blu-ray Jun 19  Obsession and fate collide in one of the most controversial and provocative films ever made. English widow Anne Osborne (Sarah Miles) lives by the sea with her young son, Jonathan. The arrival of a rugged American sailor, Jim (Kris Kristofferson), brings Anne the joy and sensual fulfillment she thought had gone forever, but her son is disturbed by this new intruder and joins a perverse group of fellow students led by the charismatic Chief. With its disturbing shock ending and frank love scenes, this stylish adaptation of the novel by legendary writer Yukio Mishima has become a timeless classic, with sharp direction by Lewis John Carlino, powerhouse performances, exquisite cinematography by the legendary Douglas Slocombe and a haunting score by Johnny Mandel. Read More... PR The Aggression Scale on Blu-ray and DVD May 29  When out-on-bail mob boss Bellavance (Wise) discovers that $500,000 of his money is missing, he sends four hardcore hit men (including Ashbrook and Mears) to send a "loud and messy" message to the suspected thieves' families. But when the killers invade the Rutledge home, they'll meet the household's emotionally disturbed young son Owen (Ryan Hartwig). Owen has a history of violent behavior, knows how to make lethal booby-traps and is about to teach these thugs some deadly lessons in extreme vengeance. Fabianne Therese co-stars in the savage thriller that IndieWire called "like Home Alone with more death!" Read More... PR A Dangerous Method on DVD & Blu-ray on Mar 27  This riveting, dark drama from director David Cronenberg brings together a prominent ensemble cast including Academy Award(R) nominee Keira Knightley (Lead Actress, Pride & Prejudice), Academy Award(R) nominee Viggo Mortensen (Lead Actor, Eastern Promises), Golden Globe(R) nominee Michael Fassbender (Best Actor, Shame) and Vincent Cassel (Black Swan). Sony Pictures Home Entertainment Read More... PR The Education Of Dee Dee Ricks Debuts on HBO Oct 27  A self-made millionaire living on New York City's Upper East Side, 39-year-old Dee Dee Ricks seemed to have it all – until she was diagnosed with aggressive stage II breast cancer. Insured and affluent, she could afford the best treatment money could buy, but was shocked to realize how difficult it is for uninsured women in the same situation, and determined to do something about it. This moving film by award-winning newswoman Perri Peltz debuts Thursday, Oct. 27. Read More... PR Rocko's Modern Life: Season One on DVD Jun 21  Featuring all 26 wacky adventures of an Australian wallaby and his pals in 13 original episodes (two segments per episode), this DVD release has long been anticipated by fans but has not been available in stores until now. Read More... PR Rocko's Modern Life: Season 1 on DVD Jun 11 Featuring all 26 wacky adventures of an Australian wallaby and his pals in 13 original episodes (two segments per episode), this DVD release has long been anticipated by fans but has not been available in stores until now. Rocko's Modern Life follows the misadventures of Australian wallaby named Rocko, who encounters various dilemmas and situations regarding otherwise mundane aspects of life. His best friend, Heffer, is a fat and enthusiastic cow, while his other friend, Filburt, is an easily upset turtle who often feels uncomfortable or disturbed. Ed Bighead lives next door to Rocko and detests him. Read More... DVD Review BLACK NARCISSUS (BLU-RAY)  Conflicts of many kinds are present in Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger's Black Narcissus, set against the beauty and danger of the Himalayas. These include the shock of Anglo-Catholic nuns set in the midst of the mountains among natives who speak no English, the struggle between flesh and the spirit, between medicine and superstition, between vows and longing for a different life, and between the monied classes and the impoverished. The new Blu-ray Disc from The Criterion Collection brings a splendid film-like appearance to the ravishing visuals. Read More... DVD Review RED DESERT (BLU-RAY)  This classic film from legendary filmmaker Michelangelo Antonioni gets the royal Criterion Collection treatment it deserves, and is wonderfully restored on this Blu-ray disc. Read More... PR Criterion Collection September Titles  This September, two of the greatest, as well as the most unorthodox, films about World War II will come to the Criterion Collection, in both Blu-ray and DVD editions. Terrence Malick's star-studded (Sean Penn, Nick Nolte, Woody Harrelson), multiple-Oscar-nominated James Jones adaptation The Thin Red Line is a staggering accomplishment, a profoundly moving, existential trip to war's heart of darkness, set during the battle for Guadalcanal. And Nagisa Oshima's extraordinarily bold Japanese POW camp drama Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence, starring David Bowie as a mysterious prisoner targeted by an obsessive camp commander, is one of the controversial director's most acclaimed and beloved films. Plus, two jazzy sixties hits—Godard's Breathless, with Jean-Paul Belmondo, celebrating its fiftieth anniversary, and Stanley Donen's Charade, starring Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant—come out in new Criterion Blu-ray editions. Read More... DVD Review SICK GIRL  Lopsided indie horror flick has its moments, but read on to see whether or not you should bother. Read More... DVD Review MARQUIS DE SADE'S PROSPERITIES OF VICE  Mondo Macabro does it again, taking us back to 1920's Japan and a count's obsession with the Marquis de Sade. In a word...awesome! Read More... DVD Review FATAL ATTRACTION (BLU-RAY)  It kind of stinks that this flick is best known for a boiling bunny, as it is still an effective thriller doubling as a cautionary tale for all men. Read More... DVD Review THE BEAST COLLECTION  I damn near lost my mind wading through this collection of Z-grade creature flicks throughout the decades. Was it worth it? Read on to find out! Read More... DVD Review LOS BASTARDOS  This 2008 Cannes Film Festival award winner seemingly has much more than a cool title going for it. Read More... DVD Review PLAGUE TOWN  Director David Gregory taps into a vintage 1970s horror feel with this creepy family-lost-in-the-Irish-countryside flick from 2008 that efficiently captures that sort of bleak, coarse and uncomfortable texture that seems to be a thing of the past.
Read More... DVD Review THE UNINVITED (BLU-RAY)  Rehashes of Asian horror movies are becoming commonplace, but given the right treatment, they can be effective. Case in point: this American reworking of the Korean picture A Tale of Two Sisters, which manages to keep a lot of the creepy atmosphere of the original while successfully dumbing it down for us Yanks. A brisk pace and a brief running time help keep it from wearing out its welcome. Read More... |
