Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down! 1989 Criterion Collection
The Spanish filmmaking auteur Pedro Almodovar's first film after his international breakthrough success "Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown" was this controversial, darkly tinged romantic comedy, "Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!".

Victoria Abril plays the sexy Marina, a former porn star and junkie now struggling to make her way as a B-movie actress, stay off of drugs, and ward off the advances of her current director, a creepy old man in a wheel chair. Antonio Banderas is Ricky, a man recently released from a metal institution with an obsession with the actress. A true Lothario (he’s apparently seduced all the nurses and the female director of his institution), now he’s out and believes he can convince Marina to fall in love with him. The problem is, his idea of convincing involves breaking into her apartment and tying her up until Stockholm Syndrome takes root.

Thieves’ Highway (1949), The Long Haul of A.I. Bezzerides (2005) DVD9 Criterion Collection, Blu-Ray Arrow Academy

Posted In: .Other movies, Drama, Thriller

Thieves Highway 1949Like the movie’s rattletrap trucks lurching down the highway as they carry way-too-heavy loads, the characters in Jules Dassin’s brilliantly volatile Thieves' Highway struggle under psychological and moral baggage until they can lay their burdens down. Working from a novel and script by A.I. Bezzerides, Dassin made this swift, fluid melodrama in 1949, after Brute Force and The Naked City. Thieves’ Highway is his best American movie. It breathes the same air of risk and desperation as his made-in-Europe masterpieces, London’s Night and the City (1950) and the Paris-set Rififi (1954). But it has a rich sensuality all its own.

The film’s hero, Nick Garcos (Richard Conte) is an ex G.I. who has just returned home from a far east journey. With plans of showering his family members with gifts, he shows up at the family home in Fresno, California, when he learns that his beloved father is a recent amputee - a victim of a truck accident. His father, Papa Garcos (Morris Carnovsky) was a long haul produce driver delivering fruit and vegetables to local markets. On a recent run to San Francisco, he entered into an agreement with Mike Figlia (Lee J. Cobb), an unscrupulous produce vendor to purchase a load of tomatoes but Figlia got the old man drunk, sending him on his way without paying him. His departure led to an accident resulting in the loss of his legs and ultimately the loss of his livelihood - his job. Nick becomes enraged and vows to seek revenge on the man responsible...

Krzysztof Kieslowski’s Three Colors Trilogy: Trois couleurs: Bleu / Three Colors: Blue (1993), Trois couleurs: Blanc / Three Colors: White (1994), Trois couleurs: Rouge / Three Colors: Red (1994) 4 x DVD9 and 3 x Blu-Ray Criterion Collection

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

Three Colors Trilogy Criterion CollectionThe three colors are blue, white and red. They are the colors of the French flag, of course, and they are appropriated by director Krzysztof Kieslowski along with the themes of the motto they more or less represent: liberty, equality, fraternity. But the films Three Colors: Blue (1993), Three Colors: White (1993), and Three Colors: Red (1994) are not hymns to patriotism or national identity and the Polish Kieslowski hasn’t any predisposition to making a statement at France. It’s better to think of this trilogy in similar terms as his The Decalogue, ten short films in which he reflects upon the Ten Commandments in terms more suggestive than literal. They are about morality in terms of life in Poland in 1989 and it is that vast collage of life experience in that time and place that is so powerful.

After he completed "Red" (1994), the final film in his "Three Colors" trilogy, Krzysztof Kieslowski announced that he would retire. This was not a man weary of work. It was the retirement of a magician, a Prospero who was now content to lay aside his art--"to read and smoke." When he died two years later, he was only 56.

Posted In: .Other movies, Adventure, Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Romance

The Princess Bride 1987
A high-spirited adventure that pits true love against inconceivable odds, The Princess Bride has charmed legions of fans with its irreverent gags, eccentric ensemble, and dazzling swordplay.
A kid (Fred Savage), home sick from school, grudgingly allows his grandfather (Peter Falk) to read him a dusty storybook — which is how we meet the innocent Buttercup (Robin Wright, in her breakout role), about to marry the nefarious Prince Humperdinck (Chris Sarandon) though her heart belongs to Westley (Cary Elwes). The wedding plans are interrupted, however, by a mysterious pirate, a vengeful Spaniard, and a good-natured giant, in a tale full of swashbuckling, romance, and outrageously hilarious spoofery. Directed by Rob Reiner from an endlessly quotable script by William Goldman, The Princess Bride reigns as a fairy-tale classic.

The Woman in the Window (1944) DVD9 and Blu-Ray Kino Lorber, DVD9 Wild Side

by movieworld on November 22nd, 2018 at 16:33
Posted In: .Other movies, Crime, Drama, Mystery, Thriller

The Woman in the Window 1944
Edward G. Robinson is Richard Wanley, a middle-aged college professor who goes out for a few drinks when his wife and child are away on vacation. Afterwards, Wanley is admiring a painting in a store window when he notices that the beautiful model who posed for the portrait (Joan Bennett) is standing next to him. Wanley accepts an apparently innocent invitation to the woman's apartment, but unexpectedly winds up killing her abusive boyfriend. Horrified by his actions, Wanley then makes the mistake of disposing of the body, and is drawn into an increasingly nightmarish world of lies, deceit, and, possibly, another murder.

The Woman in the Window was so successful that Lang and his stars Joan Bennett and Dan Duryea came back the next year with the somewhat similar Scarlet Street, and even darker and creepier tale of a meek man destroyed by his secret inner needs. This earlier film is still considered Lang's most pure investigation of the nature of guilt and conscience.

Director: Fritz Lang

Worlds on Film: Beyond Genres volume 5: Spirits of the Air, Gremlins of the Clouds (1989) Blu-Ray Umbrella Entertainment

Spirits of the Air, Gremlins of the Clouds 1989
A candle-lit hut in the Australian middle of nowhere acts as a home for a couple of siblings, Betty (Melissa Davis) and Felix (Michael Lake), raised by the Christian fundamentalist father who bequeathed them with countless crucifixes of all kinds and sizes hanging around as the only pieces of bric-a-brac. Combined with the aftermath of an unspecified cataclysmic event, the heritage has taken its toll on the flighty sister, whereas the disabled brother clings to the sole non-religious book they have - The Birth of Flight. His passion for aviation (that rendered him cripple) turns into obsession after the arrival of an enigmatic stranger, Smith (Norman Boyd), who intends to cross over the mountains to the north, even if he has to fly. Much to Betty's disapproval rooted in the belief that the interloper is a demon, the two men begin to work on a contraption that will help them overcome the dire situation.

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

Sisters 1972
Sisters is a pulpy, Hitchcockian first excursion into the subjects of voyeurism and sexual horror by then unknown director Brian DePalma.

Danielle (Margot Kidder) meets potential boyfriend Philip (Lisle Wilson) after appearing on the TV show Peeping Toms and invites him home for a nightcap. This act invokes the ire of her estranged twin Dominque (also Kidder). From across the courtyard, Grace (Jennifer Salt), spunky reporter for a local Staten Island paper, witnesses one of the twins stabbing Philip to death gruesomely and calls the police, but when they all arrive on the scene, no evidence whatsoever can be found. Of course, ever the inquisitive reporter, Grace can't leave the incident alone and she decides to investigate on her own without the police’s help. It puts her in danger's path and leads to strange revelations from the twins’ past.

Shampoo 1975
The film follows George (Warren Beatty), a popular California hairdresser, around the eve of the 1968 Presidential election. He's in a relationship with Jill (Goldie Hawn), but also has a relationship with Felicia (Lee Grant). The problem with the latter woman is she's married to Lester (Jack Warden), who George is working with to open a hair salon of his own. Because while George is charismatic, he is also talented enough to warrant a place of his own. Making things even more problematic, he becomes enamored with Jackie (Julie Christie), an ex-girlfriend of George's and current mistress of Lester's. So, George will have to keep both affairs quiet from Lester and keep the women from knowing about each other. This is easier said than done, especially since all will be at a political dinner later that night.

Oleanna 1994
John (William H. Macy) is a self absorbed professor with a lot on his mind, as he is up for tenure and the hearing happens soon. This is the moment he has waited for his entire career, so he is in the process of buying his dream home and getting more out of life, things the security of tenure will allow. As he prepares to leave his classroom, he is approached by Carol (Debra Eisenstadt), a nervous student who feels left behind in his class. She is failing the course and doesn’t understand much of the curriculum, but John isn’t skilled at direct, honest answers. The two are self interested, neither can reach the other and when John touches Carol’s shoulder for a moment, it sets a chain of events into motion that will change his life.

Stalker / Сталкер (1979) 2 x DVD RUSCICO, Blu-Ray Artificial Eye, 2 x DVD and Blu-Ray Criterion Collection

Stalker / Сталкер (1979) DVD9 + DVD5 RUSCICO
Andrei Tarkovsky was a Russian director who made slow paced, hypnotic films filled with beautiful images and thought provoking themes. His masterpiece is Stalker, one of the most gorgeous and entrancing films ever made. This is really a film that defies description. A science fiction film, a philosophical drama, and a metaphoric excursion, Stalker is all of this and yet so much more. A film that is more experienced than just viewed, this is a must-see for anyone interested in film as an art. Based on the novel The Roadside Picnic (1972) by Arkadi & Boris Strugatsky.

Something happened. Maybe it was aliens landing. Or maybe it was a meteor strike. But something happened and The Zone was created, an area where things don't work as you'd expect them to, where the laws of physics are out of whack. People started disappearing in The Zone and so the government sent in the army to investigate. They were never heard from again. Ever since that time The Zone has been cordoned off with sever penalties for going into it.
People still go into The Zone however, mainly because of The Room. In the center of The Zone, as the story goes, there is The Room which will grant those who enter it their deepest wish. To get to this miraculous place is impossible without an experienced guide, known as a stalker. As the movie begins a famous author, burned out and cynical, and a scientist, quiet but rebellious, (who are known only as Writer and Professor throughout the film) hire Stalker to lead them through the dangers of The Zone. Each of them have their own reasons for going, including Stalker himself, and their journey isn't without peril and danger. Along the way this trio is forced to look at themselves and each other and examine their hopes, dreams, and beliefs. What is worth risking your life for?
