Scotland Yard: The Complete Series (1953-1961) 7 x DVD

Scotland Yard The Complete Series
Scotland Yard was perhaps the best-known series to emerge from Anglo-Amalgamated's output of crime drama. Shot as cinema support features at the company's Merton Park Studios in South Wimbledon, these half-hour thrillers - based on real-life cases from the vaults of London's Metropolitan Police headquarters - were a successful regular feature in cinemas over nearly a decade from the early 1950s onwards. Like sister series Scales of Justice, Scotland Yard is introduced by celebrated writer and criminologist Edgar Lustgarten and presents case after intriguing case, with many solved onscreen by the redoubtable Inspector Duggan (played by Australian-born Russell Napier).

IMDb doesn't recognise Scotland Yard as a series but instead lists all 39 entries as different titles, spanning the period from 1953 to 1961. This set comprises all 39 films, also featuring appearances by Harry H. Corbett, Peter Bowles, John Le Mesurier, Peter Arne and Robert Raglan, among many others.

L’amant double / Double Lover (2017) DVD9 and Blu-Ray Cohen Media Group

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

Double Lover 2017
Chloe is an ex-model who finds herself living without a purpose, and experiencing piercings stomach pains, which her doctors think are entirely mental. So she decides to visit an analyst to talk her way through her problems; her mother's absence, her feelings of inadequacy, her inability to connect with the world around her. Her therapist, Paul, is a great listener, comments infrequently, simply letting Chloe unburden herself of all her issues and fears; a basic tactic that works wonders for this beautiful young woman. Eventually, Chloe and Paul feel a connection between themselves, and they end their professional relationship so that they can take their personal relationship to the next level.

The pair move in together, Chloe's cat Milo joining the party, and all seems well for a period of time. But Paul is hiding something, and it will drive a wedge between the young couple. Apparently Paul changed his last name some time back, for which he claims were just business reasons. But Chloe soon finds out that Paul has a twin brother, Louis, who is also an analyst, one with an entirely different approach. As Chloe begins to see him for therapy and to delve more deeply into the secrets that surely exist between these estranged brothers, she finds herself torn between her attractive to both twins. What comes next is as shocking as it is hard to understand, as the line between reality and fantasy blurs until no one knows what is truly happening.

Smithereens (1982) DVD9 and Blu-Ray Criterion Collection

Posted In: .Other movies, Drama

Smithereens 1982
First-time film actress Susan Berman stars in Smithereens as Wren, a New Jersey ex-pat who is trying to blag her way into a rock-and-roll lifestyle. It’s never quite clear what Wren’s artistry encompasses, and likely she hasn’t figured it out yet either, but she plasters photocopies of her face around the city and pretty much barrels through anyone who gets in front of her. Forever the opportunist, she drags along fresh Montana-transplant Paul (Brad Rinn) to her night on the town when it’s clear he’ll pay the bills, but then drops him for Eric, a singer played by real life punk icon Richard Hell, as soon as he shows a passing interest and potentially something to gain. Wren spends the rest of Smithereens bouncing between the two, with only Paul being smart enough to know he’s being used, and the girl too blind to see that Eric will never take her to Los Angeles and let her manage his band.

Dupa dealuri / Beyond the Hills (2012) 2 x DVD9 and Blu-Ray Criterion Collection, DVD9

Beyond the Hills 2012
Based on two nonfiction novels by Tatiana Niculescu Bran, "Beyond the Hills" begins with Alina (Cristina Flutur) arriving from Germany to a monastery in Romania where her friend (and former lover) Voichita (Cosmina Stratan) lives to serve God. Determined to stay close to Voichita, who has been with her since growing up in the orphanage together, Alina tries to get her to move to Germany with her. Voichita won't give up her calling though and the monastery's father (Valeriu Andriuta) won't take her back if she just leaves for a couple of months (“the man who leaves is not the same when he returns”). Due to this, Alina tries her best to live amongst the nuns at the monastery, but her jealousy and passion drive her to violent episodes which prompt the father and his nuns to take desperate and increasingly drastic measures to restrain and 'cure' her.

"Beyond the Hills" tells the story of a real-life Romanian tragedy that attracted international media attention in 2005: the death of a young woman submitted to a shockingly medieval exorcism at a small monastery in Moldavia. The monastery was located near director Cristian Mungiu's hometown, so it is not by chance that this third feature by one of the most important filmmakers in contemporary European cinema explores this incident.

The King of Kings (1927) 2 x Blu-Ray Lobster Films

Posted In: .Other movies, Biography, Drama, History

The King of Kings 1927
DeMille once said "Give me any two pages of the Bible and I'll give you a picture." For this picture he used significantly more than two pages, and created more than just a picture, he crafted an epic.

The film is the story of the last weeks of Jesus' life. It follows Jesus' as he cure the blind and makes the lame walk again, shows the last supper, and finally the crucifiction and resurrection. It is told in a reverent but still entertaining fashion. Most, but not all, of the intertitles are actual quotes from the Bible, with the passage noted. DeMille was careful to make his movie entertaining, without straying too much from the source material, though he does stray a bit for the sake of making the movie a little more intriguing.

This film is filled with spectacles and grandeur. There is a chariot pulled by zebras, lavish sets and the proverbial cast of thousands. The Technicolor sections (especially the resurrection) and video effects make the film visually interesting too. But the masterful part of the DeMille's production is that he doesn't turn the story of Christ into a special effects spectacle...he keeps the story reverent and tasteful. From the simple mending of a child's toy, to the raising of Lazarus, DeMille is able to make Christ both majestic and humble.

Jungfrukallan / The Virgin Spring (1960) DVD9 and Blu-Ray Criterion Collection

Posted In: .Other movies, Drama

The Virgin Spring 1960
Winner of the Academy Award for best foreign-language film, Ingmar Bergman’s The Virgin Spring is a harrowing tale of faith, revenge, and savagery in medieval Sweden.

Karin is the lovely and spoiled daughter of a very well-off rural Swedish family with ties to the church. When Karin is appointed by her adoring mother and father to deliver candles to the local priest, she is accompanied by the family's jealous and very pregnant maid, Ingeri, on the journey. However, when Ingeri's worship of Norse god Odin leads to an awkward encounter with a man in the woods, Karin continues on the journey alone, and meets three vagrants on the road. When Karin is raped and murdered by two of the men, who then seek shelter with Karin's family, her father and mother are left with the torturous decision of whether to seek revenge as their hearts' desire or forgive their daughter's killers as god commands.

Starring frequent Bergman collaborator and screen icon Max von Sydow, the film is both beautiful and cruel in its depiction of a world teetering between paganism and Christianity.

Cast: Max von Sydow, Birgitta Valberg, Gunnel Lindblom
