Old Joy 2006
Old Joy is about an impromptu reunion between two friends residing in Portland, Oregon. Both are in their early thirties and living lives that seem to be heading in different directions -- Mark (Daniel London) has started a family and is soon going to be a father, while Kurt (Will Oldham) is still single but enjoying a strong bond with his favorite pipe. Both are at the very bottom of the social ladder, barely making ends meets.

They decide to go on a camping roadtrip in the Oregon mountains in an effort to respark a friendship which seems to have gone in two separate directions. Their destination is a derelict natural hot springs spa somewhere off the map, a place literally and metaphorical Mark needs to go in order take the next steps in his life.

L’abecedaire de Gilles Deleuze / Gilles Deleuze from A to Z (1996) 3 x DVD9

L'abecedaire de Gilles Deleuze / Gilles Deleuze from A to Z (1996, 2012) 3 x DVD9
Gilles Deleuze (1925-1995) was Professor of Philosophy at the University of Paris VIII, Vincennes/Saint Denis. He published 25 books, including five in collaboration with Felix Guattari.

Although Gilles Deleuze never wanted a film to be made about him, he agreed to Claire Parnet’s proposal to film a series of conversations in which each letter of the alphabet would evoke a word: From A (as in Animal) to Z (as in Zigzag). These DVDs, elegantly translated and subtitled in English, make these conversations available for English-speaking audiences for the first time.

In dialogue with Parnet (a journalist and former student of Deleuze), the philosopher exhibited the modest and thrilling transparency that his seminal works (such as Anti-Oedipus and A Thousand Plateaus) reveal. The sessions were taped when Deleuze was already terminally ill; he and Parnet agreed that the film would not be shown publicly until after his death. The awareness of mortality floats through the dialogues, making them not just intellectually stimulating but also emotionally engaging. Because Parnet knew Deleuze so well, she was able to draw him out–as no one else had–to what might be the 1001st plateau: a place of brilliance, rigor, and charm.

A Dysfunctional Cat 2018
A tender romantic drama placed in a unique context.

Born and raised in Iran, Mina (Pegah Ferydoni) is late to the marriage game, by the usual standards of her country. Finally pushed to be more pro-active on this front by her mother, she accepts to marry Kian (Hadi Khanjanpour) a doctor based in Germany, and relocates there. Keen to continue her academic studies in Germany, Mina is compromised by the language barrier.
Accepting to undertake a course in German, Mina whiles away the time in slow-burning alienation, and her burgeoning partnership with Kian – set up in a traditional style that Kian describes to colleagues as a “blind date” – is tested.
But when a cat with a genetic defect wanders into their lives, the seams of their relationship begin to be more explicitly manifest.

Alice Sweet Alice 1976
At church on the day of her First Holy Communion, little Karen Spages (Brooke Shields, Pretty Baby) is accosted by a diminutive figure in a yellow slicker and Halloween mask. The fiend strangles the child, hides her body and sets it on fire (using a church candle), and rips a cross from her neck—a cross given to her by Father Tom (Rudolph Willrich, The Number 23), the young and popular priest in this New Jersey parish.
It's an unthinkable crime, and there is only one suspect: Karen's sister, 12-year-old Alice (Paula Sheppard, Liquid Sky), who's been moody and difficult since her parents divorced. Their mother, Catherine (Linda Miller, An Unmarried Woman), reeling from the death of her youngest child, refuses to believe Alice was responsible.
Catherine and her ex-husband have to try and prove that their daughter is not a killer—and find the person responsible before they become the next victims...

Mork & Mindy
MORK & MINDY was a half-hour television sitcom that aired on ABC from 1978 to 1982 and was a huge smash amongst grade schoolers and tweens. Mork (Robin Williams) is an alien from planet Ork, banished for having a sense of humor on a planet where emotions have been forbidden. He is sent to Earth and commanded to report back mentally to his superior, Orson, on the way human beings function.
After Mork lands in Colorado in his ovoid spacecraft, he meets Earthling Mindy (Pam Dawber) who has been abandoned by a wretched date and thinks he's a priest because he's wearing his suit backwards. Upon learning that he is an alien, she invites him to stay at her apartment. She agrees to teach him how to be more like an Earthling, and he agrees to teach her about Ork. Most people of course, think he's just insane, but that leads to some of the most comic situations.

Nineteen Eighty-Four (1984) DVD9 and Blu-Ray Criterion Collection

Posted In: .Other movies, Drama, Fantasy, Sci-Fi

Nineteen Eighty-Four 1984
It’s the year 1984 and Britain is part of a superpower called Oceania, ruled over by dictator Big Brother. Oceania is permanently at war, though the opponent changes from Eurasia to Eastasia and back again. Telescreens watch your every move, and pump out propaganda twenty-four hours a day. Winston Smith (John Hurt) works at the Ministry of Truth, whose job it is to rewrite the news to remove “unpersons” and to change history as it suits the ruling Elite. Then he meets Julia (Suzanna Hamilton), who seems to be a sworn celibate and member of the Anti Sex League, but who in reality is rebelling against the state. Winston and Julia fall in love, but their rebellion has not gone unnoticed...

The bigger and more powerful the government, the smaller your freedoms are. This is the crucial truth that emerges from Michael Radford's cinematic adaptation of George Orwell's classic novel.

The story is as timely as ever, unfortunately. Lies are spun and accepted as truth. Slavery is freedom. Big brother is watching. Will we ever evolve out of this particular kind of fascist nightmare?

Director: Michael Radford
Cast: John Hurt, Richard Burton, Suzanna Hamilton
Country: UK

The Soviet Influence: From Turksib to Night Mail (1929-1936) DVD9 and Blu-Ray BFI

The Soviet Influence From Turksib to Night Mail
Victor Turin was educated in the States, learnt the movie business at the Vitagraph, became a western fan and returned to the Soviet Union to direct the great 78-minute documentary Turksib – about the heroic transformative building of the railway linking Turkestan to Siberia. It's propaganda, but it's also a lyrical, humane, superbly edited masterpiece that greatly influenced the British documentary movement, of which six 1930s examples are included in this excellent compilation, culminating in another railway classic, Night Mail.
Both films are early instances of cinema being used to inform and shape popular opinion about everyday life, while exploring the formal, artistic and poetic potential of the medium.

Powder (1995) DVD5

Powder 1995
Harassed by classmates who won't accept his shocking appearance, a shy young man known as "Powder" struggles to fit in. But the cruel taunts stop when Powder displays a mysterious power that allows him to do incredible things. This phenomenon changes the lives of all those around him in ways they never could have imagined.

Powder doesn’t simply represent the awkward teenager. He represents something much more than that: evolution. The idea that we are not at our peak, but more that the human race is still an awkward teenager itself, working out what it is, who it is and dreaming about what it may be. What will we be like in a thousand years, ten thousand a hundred thousand? In the end what is normal? The truth of it is that there is no normal. Powder is an underrated movie that reminds us of that by showing us what we could become.

Cast: Mary Steenburgen, Sean Patrick Flanery, Lance Henriksen, Jeff Goldblum, Brandon Smith, Bradford Tatum

Hollywood Boulevard 1976
Sex & Violence explodes on the screen in this sordid tale of the glitz, glamour and broken dreams within the seedy world of exploitation moviemaking!

Pretentious film director Erich von Leppe (Paul Bartel) is directing the last action scene of his latest low budget epic, which stars Mary McQueen (Mary Woronov), when tragedy strikes: the stuntwoman's parachute fails to open and she falls to her death, leaving a large hole in the ground. Meanwhile, Candy (Candice Rialson) arrives in Hollywood with dreams of making it big in the movies as an actress, but is turned down just about everywhere. The only person to offer a ray of hope is agent Walter Paisley (Dick Miller), who admits he has no work for her at the moment, but suggests she wander around Tinseltown and get better known - the streets are full of casting directors and producers, so it's only a matter of time before she is given a role. However, her first excursion into showbiz isn't what it seems...
