The Great Game 1930
The hero, Dicky Brown (John Batten), is the reserve forward on a championship team. Thanks to the urgings of Dicky's sweetheart Peggy Jackson (Renee Clama), whose father happens to be the team's manager, the young lad is groomed to compete in the English Cup Final. Unfortunately, the manager is accused of "personal bias" by the judges and disqualified from coaching during the crucial match. The loss of the manager throws the rest of the team into a deep depression, and by the time they get to Wembley, the outlook is pretty bleak -- but never fear, salvation is close at hand!

Much of the film is set in Chelsea's home ground, Stamford Bridge, and it contains guest appearances by numerous real-life footballers, including George Mills, Andy Wilson, Sam Millington and Billy Blyth. It was also notable for featuring the first credited appearance of Rex Harrison.

Ici et maintenant / Here and now (1968) DVD9

Posted In: .Other movies, Drama

Ici et maintenant 1968
Shot primarily in long takes on the Pointe du Raz in Brittany, "Ici et maintenant", according to fellow filmmaker Patrick Deval, “consists of the dreams of the solitary rambler, post-revolution... The moralist has given up on chaos; he takes his own pulse; he listens to the world, perhaps vibrating with it; he is in sympathetic ecstasy. The filmmaker holds his position, stiff as the statue of the commander, on alert for the phenomena which approach him; he resembles the lighthouse whose rectitude Bard captures magnificently, on an ink-dark night, with its hallucinatory lamp set against a background of winds and tides."

While the film is pretty incoherent and devoid of a decipherable narrative thrust, it oozes style, astonishing with extremely long takes in disorienting semi-darkness, with the howling wind threatening oblivion. It’s more mood than anything else. And it feels slightly unhinged, like the contorted bodies in a Bronzino. Self-conscious artistry in the extreme and a healthy dose of artifizio, "Ici et maintenant" may just be a manifestation of ‘60s Mannerism; at least, it makes a convincing case for “the stylish style.”

High Treason (1929) DVD5

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

High Treason 1929
In the far off year of 1940, "United Europe" and the "Atlantic States" share an uneasy truce. As the film opens, an incident at a border crossing sets the nations at high alert. This is of great concern to the World Peace League, headed by the renowned Dr. Seymour (Humberston Wright), ably assisted by his daughter Evelyn (Benita Hume). Despite her dedication to the cause, Evelyn is currently dating a soldier, Air Force Major Michael Deane (Jameson Thomas), although that alliance may fracture should it come to war. What our heroes in London don't realize, however, that the tension is in fact carefully orchestrated by a sinister terrorist group financed by arms manufacturers in New York.
High Treason was shot in two versions; one a talkie and one a silent. It is now believed that the sound on the talkie version has disintegrated to the point of being unscreenable.

Michelangelo Antonioni’s The Passenger / Professione: reporter (1975) Blu-Ray Indicator Limited Edition

by movieworld on May 14th, 2019 at 14:11
Posted In: .Other movies, Drama, Thriller

The Passenger 1975
The Passenger stars Jack Nicholson as David Locke, a documentary filmmaker covering a war between rebels and a tyrannical government somewhere in Africa. He’s struggling to find what he wants though and has just about given up, when he finds himself in an unusual situation. He heads to the room of Robertson (Charles Mulvehill), a businessman he’d befriended in his hotel, only to find him dead. As he stares at the corpse, he realises the man bares a striking resemblance to himself and sees this is a once in a lifetime chance to shed his dissatisfying existence and seek a new life as the seemingly happy and successful Robertson. He quickly swaps pictures between their passports, drags the body into his room and convinces the hotel staff and local police that the man found dead is David Locke, not Robertson.
At first Locke finds this new identity liberating, but his past and Robertson’s come back to haunt him. The latter is particularly problematic, as it turns out Robertson wasn’t the sort of clean cut businessman he seemed on the surface...

The Faithful Heart (1932) DVD5

Posted In: .Other movies, Drama, Romance

The Faithful Heart 1932
The sailor’s “girl in every port” is given a twist in this melodrama based on Monckton Hoffe’s play of the same name. After saying goodbye to a brief fling with a young waitress 20 years earlier, Waverley runs into Blackie who claims to be his daughter. Now a Colonel, he must choose between the consequences of his past actions and a status-building marriage to a wealthy socialite.

The decision to cast the same actress as the mother and the daughter seems very unlikely today – particularly when the actors playing father and daughter (Herbert Marshall and Edna Best) were married in real life.

The Savage Hunt of King Stach / Dikaya okhota korolya Stakha / Дикая охота короля Стаха (1979) DVD9
A mystical drama based on a story by V. Korotkevich. The film is set in out-of-the-way Belarusian woodlands at the end of the 19th century. A young ethnographer, Andrej Bielarecki, comes here to research local folk legends...

A film that justly claims to be the first Soviet mystical thriller. A gripping, suspenseful plot. Terrifying medieval legends turning to real horror.

“‘Stach's’ been assigned a most honorable place in history, next to ‘Cat's Eye’, ‘Night of the Living Dead’, and a masterpiece of the national sub-horror, the animation ‘Hazelnut Twig’.” (Denis Gorelov, “Izvestiya”)

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

The Equalizer The Complete Collection
The great Edward Woodward is middle-aged, newly retired government agent Robert McCall, equipped with an arsenal that would make Kim Jong-Un jealous. Keen to atone for such past sins as toppling foreign governments and walking out on his family, he offers his services free of charge through a newspaper ad that states: "Got a problem? Odds against you? Call the Equalizer." He is the desperate citizen's last resort: employing a mainly brains-over-brawn approach (he's not exactly Jason Statham), the silver-haired guardian angel bales out the victims of drug-dealers, racists, corrupt cops, vengeful jailbirds and mobsters. Unresolved agency business regularly returns to haunt him, courtesy of "Control", his former boss, as well as the KGB. And then there's a fractious relationship with his son to rebuild.

A film adaptation starring Denzel Washington was released in 2014.

Treasures 5: The West (1898-1938) 3 x DVD9

by movieworld on May 14th, 2019 at 13:21
Posted In: .Other movies, Comedy, Crime, Drama, Romance, Western

Treasures 5 The West 1898-1938
Treasures 5 brings together 40 early movies showing the West as it’s never been seen on DVD. The 10-hour, 3-disc anthology has plenty of Westerns, including examples with pistol-packing heroines; comic cowboys; Hispanic, Native American, and Asian stars; lawmen restaging their exploits, and America's first cowboy screen celebrities Broncho Billy Anderson and Tom Mix. With the West’s younger days still fresh in filmmakers’ minds, these narratives surprise today with their effortless authenticity—in dress, gesture, props, buildings, and everyday work. In addition, the set also showcases the “real West” in travelogues from 10 Western states; newsreels about Native Americans; and documentaries about such Western subjects as cattle ranching in Santa Monica; riding the rails; how vaqueros made horsehair ropes; the birth of the canned fruit industry; and the beginning of the water wars. There are lots of surprises and a few genuine masterworks, including Mantrap (1926), with an utterly bewitching Clara Bow in her most sophisticated role, and W.S. Van Dyke's The Lady of the Dugout (1918), with outlaw-turned-actor Al Jennings playing himself 20 years earlier.
