Buster Keaton 3 Films Volume 3
Eureka continue their run of triple-film box-sets featuring (and usually directed by) Buster Keaton With volume 3. As before, the selection is a bit random, picking titles from throughout his fruitful pre-MGM period, when he made most of his best features.

In this fine box-set, you'll find the films Our Hospitality (1923) starring Keaton, Joe Roberts and Natalie Talmadge. Keaton directed the film alongside John G. Blystone. Go West (1925) starring Keaton (who also directed), Kathleen Myers, Howard Truesdale and Ray Thompson. The third film is College (1927) which stars Keaton, Anne Cornwall, Harold Goodwin and directed by Keaton alongside James W. Horne. All three films were produced by Joseph M. Schench and are presented here in fabulous quality.

Reflections of Evil (2002) 2 x DVD5

Reflections of Evil 2002
Now, there are cult movies and then there are CULT movies. There are movies that gradually find exposure and a dedicated audience. There are movies that barely make a whimper initially and take years to catch on. And, there are movies so notorious and/or scarce they become the stuff of back alley legend.
Damon Packard's Reflections of Evil (2002) may be the first modern, digital equivalent of the underground cult film.

Bob (played by Packard himself) is an obese, sugar addicted, quite possibly insane, street seller of cheap watches. He still lives with his mother, who despite her henpecking complains cannot control her weird son. Given to Tourretes-like screaming fits and gorging himself on sweets, Bob is a seeming magnet for violence, be it from random pedestrians, homeless people, or dogs that assault him as he walks around LA.

Flashbacks to 1971 reveal Bob as a kid with his mother and sister, Julie (Nicole Vanderhoff), taking a Universal Studios tour. Julie gets off the tram, wanders around the backlot, and stumbles upon a young Steven Spielberg making his first film Something Evil. She then meets the Golden Guru and his followers who entice her with drugs. After what can only be described as a 2001ish psychedelic nightmare, she apparently OD's and is sent into the afterlife where her ghostly spirit wanders. And, eventually, we come to find she is looking for Bob.

Die Russen kommen / The Russians Are Coming (1987), Karriere / Career (1971) DVD9 + DVD5 Edition Filmmuseum 107

Posted In: .Other movies, Drama, War

Edition Filmmuseum 107
In The Russians Are Coming, director Heiner Carow and screenwriter Claus Kuchenmeister tell the story of the final days of World War II from the perspective of a member of the Hitler youth. For this boy, an ardent devotee of National Socialism, the day that will later become known as "Liberation Day" in the GDR brings about the collapse of his entire world.

Originally included in the DEFA production schedule in 1966 as a reserve entry for the forthcoming 50th anniversary of the October Revolution in 1967, the almost-finished film was aborted in 1968. It would not be completed until 1987. A DEFA film about fascism without an anti-fascist hero would have been unusual at any time, but The Russians Are Coming strayed too far from the dominant narrative and was inopportune.

This double DVD presents a new, restored version of the film and allows viewers their first ever opportunity to compare it with Career (1971), in which Heiner Carow made use of parts of the unreleased material from The Russians Are Coming.

Lisbon Story (1994) Blu-Ray

Posted In: .Other movies, Drama

Lisbon Story 1994
In this 1994 Wim Wenders film, Wenders veteran Rudiger Vogler plays a movie soundman who receives a letter from a director friend (Patrick Bauchau) asking him to come to Lisbon. Once there, Vogler finds that his friend has disappeared, but he proceeds to take up residence in the director's abandoned apartment, adding sound effects to Bauchau's unfinished project, which consists of scenes of everyday life in the Portugese capital.
Wenders has shot a visual gem with rich sound and music, whose story-line and entire raison-d'etre is a tribute to film-making itself. Essentially a meditation on what it means to make films 100 years after their invention, Lisbon Story plays like a cross between Lumiere And Company—the first-rate tribute to the movies' centennial in which Wenders also participated—and The Third Man. It's a small, slight movie, but it's worth watching, and best appreciated by those who already admire the director.

Director: Wim Wenders
Cast: Rudiger Vogler, Patrick Bauchau, Vasco Sequeira
Country: Germany, Portugal

No Date, No Signature / Bedoone Tarikh, Bedoone Emza (2017) DVD5

No Date, No Signature 2017
A question of guilt hangs over the Iranian film "No Date, No Signature". It’s a question that eventually ruins lives, a marriage and career, yet there’s no easy answer to be had in a world of mistrust, privilege and vengeance. Lensed with great sensitivity and style and superbly acted, it has one drawback for Western audiences in its perplexing plot points based on the local culture and customs.

It begins with a car crash – one of those things that seems to come out of nowhere in the dark. Colliding with a motorbike, Dr Nariman (Amir Aghaee), a forensic pathologist, hastens to check that its child passenger is okay. The boy seems woozy, not quite himself. Concerned about a head injury, Dr Nariman urges the boy’s father, Moosa (Navid Mohammedzadeh) to take him to hospital, offering him money as compensation for the accident that should cover any fees. Moosa is reluctant, something Dr Nariman cannot understand, but there’s not much he can do about it, so he leaves.

The following day the boy arrives at the hospital where Dr Nariman works, dead. A colleague diagnoses food poisoning, with tests to follow. But Dr Nariman cannot rid himself of the thought that the accident is to blame. He becomes obsessed with finding out the truth, whilst the boy’s heartbroken parents struggle with their own feelings of guilt and Moosa grows furious at the factory worker who illegally sold him chicken not fit for human consumption.

Police Story (1973–1979) 18 x DVD9 Seasons 1, 2 & 3 Shout! Factory

by movieworld on September 15th, 2020 at 16:04
Posted In: .Other movies, Action, Crime, Drama, Thriller

Police Story
Created by ex-cop-turned-acclaimed author Joseph Wambaugh (The Onion Field) Police Story details the lives of LAPD officers in an anthology of realistic and gritty accounts of what it meant to carry a badge in 1970s Los Angeles. The hit series became a major influence of many critically acclaimed shows that followed, including Hill Street Blues, NYPD Blue and Homicide: Life On The Street. Police Story stood apart from its predecessors by presenting a multidimensional, very human portrayal of its protagonists – depicting officers of the law not as blandly implacable sentinels of justice, but as complex individuals capable of great heroism and simple fallibility. From week to week, gripping episodes addressed difficult issues such as police corruption and the stresses and hell that can come with leading a cop's life.

Guest stars: Kurt Russell, Dick Butkus, Chuck Connors, Cleavon Little, Stella Stevens, Sal Mineo, Cindy Williams, Danny Bonaduce, Robert Forster, Bernie Casey, Edgar Bergen, Robert Stack, George Hamilton, Dabney Coleman, Dean Stockwell, Sylvester Stallone...

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

Marriage Story 2019
Marriage Story charts the dissolution of one married couple's (Adam Driver's Charlie and Scarlett Johansson's Nicole) relationship virtually from start to finish, as filmmaker Noah Baumbach follows the protagonists through the minutia of modern-day divorce and its myriad of humiliations and complications.

The film opens in a therapist's office, where Charlie and Nicole have each written down what they love about the other. Charlie reads his touching letter aloud, but Nicole refuses before storming out of the office. Before the instant turmoil, Charlie and Nicole lived in New York City with their young son, Henry (Azhy Robertson). Charlie directs experimental plays, usually starring Nicole, who was previously a teenage movie star. She is offered a starring role in a television pilot in Los Angeles and takes Henry to live with her mother, Sandra (Julie Hagerty), who has a special relationship with Charlie. The move is supposed to be temporary, but when Charlie arrives, he realizes Nicole is laying down roots in California. Pushed by Nicole, Charlie agrees to split amicably and forego hiring divorce attorneys. This changes when Nicole hires an experienced litigator, Nora Fanshaw (Dern), to handle the legal separation. As the case heads to court, the couple also must wade through feelings of betrayal, neglect and resentment, while saving face for young Henry.
