Essential Fellini Criterion Collection
Federico Fellini remains one of the greatest filmmakers in the history of film. He was an artist who crafted a cinematic spectacle all his own, creating an unique but sometimes bleak world full of dreamers, whose desires, fears, nightmares, and hopes all take center stage.

Not only is this monumental Criterion Collection release “essential” Federico Fellini (1920-1993), it also represents the large majority of films in the Italian maestro’s oeuvre, missing only I Clowns, Fellini’s Casanova, Orchestra Rehearsal, City of Women, Ginger and Fred, The Voice of the Moon, and a couple of segments from anthology films.

The fact that this set is far from complete in terms of Fellini’s films does not mean that it is not comprehensive. Titles span from the start of Fellini’s career to quite nearly the end, covering all of his major thematic shifts and often wild creative phases. Included are all of the Fellini titles that Criterion has ever released, many of which have not been previously made available on Blu-ray due to having been forced out of print for many years. Not only is it about time, it’s the perfect time- the 100th birthday of the director. (Fellini was born January 20, 1920, in Rimini, Italy).

Posted In: .Other movies, Drama

Tramontane 2016
Tramontane can mean “northern wind”, but is also the name of the lead character; in Arabic it is Rabih. The blind Lebanese singer and musician Barakat Jabbour plays Rabih, a young man who is – like the actor himself – blind and a talented musician. When Rabih is invited to tour Europe with his group,he goes to the authorities to request a passport but they inform him that his current ID might be a forgery. Rabih thus asks his mother, Samar (Julia Kassar), to help find his birth records so he can apply for new papers, but they seem to be missing too. Not having a birth certificate isn’t as unusual in Lebanon as it might be elsewhere, since many official records were lost in the country’s various wars. But when Mom admits she’s unable to do a blood test to establish their familial relationship, things start to unravel...

Noble 2014
The only news you hear on TV is how our world is turning from bad to ugly, how the kindness and humanity of people disappears leaving only ashes. But how many of us ever heard of Christina Noble, who saved over 700,000 Vietnamese children including the street ones?

As a young girl in Dublin, Christina (Gloria Cramer Curtis) suffered incredible hardships, witnessing the death of her mother and the absence of her father (Liam Cunningham). Left to care for her family, Christina experienced poverty firsthand, relying on her love of singing to keep up the fight. In her teenage years, Christina (Sarah Greene) continued down a path of horror, trying to preserve her sanity through conversations with God as she endured a sexual assault and a troubling marriage. In 1989, satisfying a craving to visit Vietnam, Christina (Deirdre O’Kane) discovers a nation in need, observing local children struggle to survive in a manner familiar to her. Setting out to make a difference, Christina uses her natural moxie to bend the government and persuade oilman Gerry (Brendan Coyle) to help finance shelters, only to discover a deeper evil facing the youth of Vietnam.

Ishiro Honda Double Feature: The H-Man / Beauty and the Liquidman (1958), Battle in Outer Space (1959) 2 x Blu-Ray Eureka – Masters of Cinema

Ishiro Honda Double Feature
Ishiro Honda lived a long and eventful life that saw him forge a really remarkable career in the Japanese film industry. Though being at least intermittently associated with such legends as Akira Kurosawa, Honda may forever be best remembered for his relationship with another "legend" of sorts: Gojira. Honda was instrumental in developing what a lot of folks think of as the "modern" kaiju film, having not just helmed the first (and several subsequent) Godzilla outings, but also Rodan and Mothra. While all of those kaiju entries probably at least flirted with a science fiction ambience, Honda also made films which were inarguably firmly within a sci-fi idiom, including The Mysterians, as well as both of the films Eureka! Entertainment's Masters of Cinema series has aggregated together here in this release.

Hasta la memoria siempre, Jorge “El Tigre” Cedrón: obra completa restaurada (Complete restored work of Jorge Cedron): El habilitado (1971), La vereda de enfrente (1963), Operación masacre (1973), El otro oficio (1967) 2 x DVD9

Hasta la memoria siempre, Jorge Cedron
Jorge "El Tigre" Cedrón was the author of a handful of titles, rebellious and controversial, they suffered disparate fates until finally, more than three decades later, this work puts them in a deserved place, that of memory, the product of several years of contacts and searches, research and interviews, with the fundamental objective of those in charge of rescuing his complete work in restored copies.

"Hasta la memoria siempre" brings together the seven films made by Cedrón and that the Argentine filmmaker managed to disperse in the suitcases of his friends before going into exile in France to protect them from official censorship. "La vereda de enfrente" (1963), "El otro Oficio" (1967), "El habilitado" (1970), "Por los senderos del Libertador" (1971), "Operación masacre" (1972), "Resistir" (1978) and "Gotán" (1979) make up the filmography of the filmmaker and leftist activist. The history of the films and how they survived the destruction by censorship of the time is in itself worthy of a film.

British Musicals of the 1930s Volume 4
From playful romantic comedies to variety extravaganzas, the pre-war British musical films offered audiences a source of much-needed escapism throughout the decade haunted by the Great Depression and the growing menace of war.

Often adapting much-loved hits of the music hall as well as serving as vehicles for the era’s composers, performers and band leaders, they showcased home-grown talent alongside some of Hollywood’s most bankable stars.

This ongoing, multi-volume collection makes available a wealth of rare gems from the very earliest days of the British talkies, many of which have remained unseen since their original release. Volume 4 features four rarely screened films from the decade, each of them presented uncut, in a brand-new transfer from the original film elements in its as-exhibited theatrical aspect ratio.

Star 80 (1983) DVD5

by movieworld on February 21st, 2021 at 18:27
Posted In: .Other movies, Biography, Drama

Star 80 1983
The true story of the tragedy of Playboy Playmate Dorothy Stratten. She was discovered as a teenager in Vancouver by Paul Snider, who became her boyfriend. Snider mailed photos he had taken of her to Playboy, resulting in her being offered to pose as a Playmate and eventually becoming the 1980 Playmate of the Year. As Dorothy’s star started to rise and she was offered film parts, Snider’s various business ventures started to go under and he became increasingly more controlling and jealous of her, culminating in her murder and his suicide.

Star 80 is one genuinely creepy and disturbing movie. This is not a movie for everybody. If you want to see a bubble-headed bimbo bounce around the Playboy mansion, watch The Girls Next Door. If you want to see a movie about obsession and depraved madness that pulls absolutely zero punches, check out Star 80 instead.

Seven Sinners (1936) DVD5

Posted In: .Other movies, Crime, Mystery, Thriller

Seven Sinners 1936
Carnival. Nice, France. Fireworks. Drinks, costumes and wild dancing. And in the middle of it all, the American John Harwood. Dressed as a devil and somewhat drunk, Harwood stumbles upon a dead man when accidentally entering the wrong hotel room. But when he manages to convince others to come to the scene, the body is gone. Who died? And why? The plot thickens with a train crash that just may have been sabotage and the disappearance of a woman that Harwood met.

In many ways, this film reminds of Alfred Hitchcock‘s English films from the 1930s. Though competently made, Seven Sinners does not have the edge in composition and editing that Hitchcock does. The story and acting, however, are quite up to Hitchcock’s standards, so if you enjoy Hitchcock’s British films, there is a good chance that you will enjoy this one as well.

The Noel Coward Collection (1941-1995) 7 x DVD9

Posted In: .Other movies, Comedy, Drama, Romance

The Noel Coward Collection
Noel Coward is the definitive playwright of the early 20th century, contributing a robust repertoire of brilliant material. Coward charmed high society in both London and New York during his heyday, and his work continues to charm audiences today with its urbane wit, sly humor and distinctive style.

Noel Coward was a true Renaissance man, a celebrated, playwright, composer, author, and actor. To quote the title of one of his biographies, he had A Talent to Amuse. But in his most enduring works, he found "genuine emotion under the gloss." This gala, more than 19-hour, seven-disc box set (plus more than 12 hours of bonus audio interviews, musical performances, speeches, and radio plays) immerses viewers in Coward's vanished urbane world, where formidable and fascinating characters are often caught between their natural instincts and the laws of society.
