Ocean Girl The Complete Series
This fantasy-adventure series is produced and shot in Australia. Set underwater, in tropical rain forests, around waterfalls, lagoons and the coral reef, "Ocean Girl" focuses on Neri and two boys, Jason and Brett Bates, who discover her.

Neri can swim amazingly fast and communicate telepathically with her best friend, a 40-ton humpback whale she calls Charley. The boys' recently divorced marine biologist mother, Dianne Bates, has moved her family to ORCA, a futuristic underwater research colony in the Great Barrier Reef. Bates set out to study the brain patterns of the humpback whale, choosing Charley as their subject.

After the boys befriend Neri (and keep her a secret from their mother), she shows them the beauty of the environment.

Maynila sa mga kuko ng liwanag / Manila in the Claws of Light (1975) 2 x DVD9 and Blu-Ray Criterion Collection

Manila in the Claws of Light 1975 Criterion Collection
Lino Brocka is the best Filipino filmmaker ever; his masterpiece, Maynila sa mga Kuko ng Liwanag (Manila in the Claws of Neon) the greatest Filipino film ever made.

Many films about people moving from the country to the big city detail the loss of innocence as the dream of a shining land of opportunity yields to a grim reality. Julio Madiaga (Rafael Roco Jr.) arrives in Manila with no such delusions. His eyes are already wide open to potential horror as he has come to search for his girlfriend Ligaya (Hilda Koronel), who he suspects has been lured into a sex trafficking ring. Already expecting to find a nightmare, what Julio discovers in Manila turns out to be even worse.

Lino Brocka achieved international acclaim with this candid portrait of 1970s Manila, a breakout example of the more serious-minded filmmaking the director had turned to after building a career on mainstream movies he described as “soaps.”

Mixing visceral, documentary-like realism with the narrative focus of Hollywood noir and melodrama, Manila in the Claws of Light is a howl of anguish from one of the most celebrated figures in Philippine cinema.

Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters (1985) 2 x DVD9 (2008 edition) and Blu-Ray (2018 edition) Criterion Collection

Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters (1985) Criterion Collection
At the age of 45, Yukio Mishima had written 40 novels, 18 plays, and 20 volumes of short stories and essays. He was Japan's most prestigious writer, sometimes mentioned for the Nobel Prize. Mishima, a man of many roles, was also married, militaristic, homosexual, a body builder, an actor, and a devotee of the Japanese martial tradition.

On November 25, 1970, Mishima and four members of the Shield Society, his private army, took over the Ichigaya military headquarters in Tokyo. The troops were assembled to hear the famous writer speak out against what he saw as Japan's decadence. His call for an uprising to assert the country's imperial traditions fell on deaf ears. Mishima then killed himself by ritual seppuku.

Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters is, according to director Paul Schrader, not a biographical portrait of the artist but "an interpretation" of his life and work. The drama's four chapters are "Beauty," focusing on Mishima's youthful aesthetic interest; "Art," centered around his vocation as an artist; "Action," in which the accent is politics; and "The Harmony of the Pen and the Sword," which concludes with Mishima's attempt to create meaning through his own death.

The film covers the last day in MIshima's life, flashbacks to his childhood and youth, and vignettes from three of his novels — Temple of the Golden Pavilion, Kyoko's House, and Runaway Horses.

Hard Country 1981
Hard Country had its genesis in a song written by Michael Murphy about an individual trying to decide whether his roots or his wings are more important to him. Kyle Richardson (Jan-Michael Vincent) doesn't like his factory job much but he loves his ritualized visits to the Texas town's honk-tonk bar. There dancing, brawling, drunkenness, and pranks are regular events.

His girlfriend Jodie (Kim Basinger) longs for something more out of life than work at the telephone company or evenings with Kyle doing the same things they did as teenagers. When she is accepted by Western Airlines for a flight attendant position and called to Los Angeles for training, she must decide her priorities.

The Apartment (1960) Blu-Ray Arrow Academy, DVD9 Collector’s Edition

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

The Apartment (1960) DVD9
An ode to the good guy written with truly ravishing intentions, Billy Wilder's The Apartment is the kind of Hollywood classic that never loses its touch, working its way down the generations with a heartfelt tale of unassuming meekness where the only nice guy in a city of big-heads becomes tangled up in a wacky romance.

The Apartment stars Jack Lemmon as C.C. Baxter, a lonely nobody who works for a huge insurance company. Keen to move up in the world, he greases the wheels by loaning his apartment to his superiors for their extramarital affairs. This works in terms of getting him a promotion, but it plays havoc with his life and health. The breaking point comes when he falls for elevator operator Fran Kubelik (Shirley MacLaine), only to find out she’s his boss Jeff D. Sheldrake’s (Fred MacMurray) ‘bit on the side’ and has been brought up to his apartment. This situation takes a shocking turn half way through the film when Kubelik attempts suicide in Baxter’s apartment. After he saves her life and plays nursemaid to the troubled woman, he falls ever more in love and ever more angry at Sheldrake’s mistreatment of her. So Baxter reaches a point where he must decide whether to continue to be a lap dog to his superiors or be a mensch (a human being), as the honourable Dr. Dreyfuss (Jack Kruschen) puts it.

The Day of the Jackal 1973
A secret military organization, the OAS, believing French President Charles de Gaulle has betrayed the nation by giving Algeria its independence, backs an assassination attempt in July 1962 that fails. A year later, the OAS steps up its efforts, hiring a professional killer who goes by the code name The Jackal for $500,000. The Jackal, believed responsible for the murder of Dominican leader Trujillo and at least one other head of state in Africa, sets out on an elaborate plan using forged identity papers, a weapon hand-crafted according to his specifications, and a mole in De Gaulle's staff to tip him off to any information authorities may gather about him. The story cuts back and forth in the cat-and-mouse game between the ever-elusive Jackal and the French authorities trying to stop him before it too late.

Pulp (1972) Blu-Ray Arrow Film

Pulp 1972
England’s ‘Three Michaels’ – they being writer-director Mike Hodges, producer Michael Klinger and actor Michael Caine – followed up the success of Get Carter with a film so completely different from that earlier picture that you’d almost swear it were made by a different team.

The film revolves around a man named Mickey King (Caine), a man who makes a very good career out of writing trashy, lurid pulp novels... all of which he churns out with lurid titles and under various pseudonyms. When he’s offered a handsome fee to ghostwrite an autobiography for a mysterious celebrity named Preston Gilbert (Mickey Rooney) who has left the Hollywood system for a quiet life in Malta, he accepts. There is, after all, a good amount of money on the line. He sets out getting to work but soon learns that the gangsters and hoodlums that Gilbert became known for playing on the silver screen aren’t quite as fictitious as some might expect – he’s got some very real underworld connections.

When Preston turns up dead one day, the strange group of eccentrics that hung around him all turn into suspects, at least in King’s eyes, as he tries to solve the murder without getting knocked off himself.
