AROUND THE BEND teams up the dream cast of Michael Caine (Henry Lair), Christopher Walken (Turner), Josh Lucas (Jason), and Jonah Bobo (Zack) as the ultimate patriarchy, four generations of men in a family that has been torn apart for thirty years. Henry, an archaeologist obsessed with digging for both ancient objects and inner secrets, is dying, and he has beckoned for Turner to join them. The only problem is that Turner has been missing from their life since a terrible accident, having spent many of the intervening years in jail. He has not seen his son in three decades, and he has never met his grandson. But when Henry dies, his exhaustive last request is planned out at a series of Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurants in New Mexico, forcing the next three generations of Lair men to spend time together reevaluating life, love, and family. They travel in Turner's bruised and battered VW Bus, blasting music out of an eight-track-tape player, trying to maintain their sanity for the sake of young Bobo, who is the only one seemingly excited about the journey. Written and directed by first-time filmmaker Jordan Roberts, AROUND THE BEND is a poignant drama of fathers and sons, of family secrets, of running away, and just maybe of forgiveness. The acting is solid throughout, including the terrific Glenne Headly as Henry's Swedish home caretaker, and there is just the right mix of comedy and drama, music and dialogue to make this a winning debut.DVD Features:Region (unknown)Keep CaseWidescreen - 1.85Audio: Dolby Surround 5.1 English Dolby Surround 5.1 FrenchAdditional Release Material: Audio Commentary Deleted Scenes Featurette: 1.

The Complete James Dean Collection (DVD) The Complete James Dean Collection (DVD) » The Complete James Dean Collection (DVD)

Three movies from that impeccable icon of cool, James Dean, are collected here.EAST OF EDEN: The strong screen adaptation of John Steinbeck's 1952 novel features the debut of James Dean. Like Cain with Abel, a black sheep competes with his brother for his father's love--with tragic results.GIANT: Edna Ferber's best-selling family saga was the source of Stevens' sprawling epic, which stars Rock Hudson, Elizabeth Taylor, and James Dean, in his last film appearance. When Texas cattleman Bick Benedict (Hudson) goes to Virginia in the early 1920s to buy a prize stallion, he falls in love with Leslie Lynnton (Taylor), an aristocratic, independent-minded beauty, and they quickly marry. He takes her back to Reata, his 600,000-acre ranch, where sister Luz (Mercedes McCambridge), the family matriarch, does her best to make Leslie feel unwelcome. Leslie is appalled by
the second-class status accorded to women and racist attitudes toward the local Mexicans, neither of which seem to bother her husband. Out of compassion, she befriends surly ranch hand Jett Rink (James Dean), who comes to worship her from afar, envying Bick for both his wealth and his wife. He strikes oil on land bequeathed to him by the deceased Luz and his wealth and power grow apace. As the years pass, the bewildered Bick often finds his children thwarting his wishes and criticizing his beliefs, pushing the millionaire to question his values for the first time in his life. The film's outstanding cast, which also features Dennis Hopper, Sal Mineo, Carroll Baker,
Earl Holliman, and Chill Wills, inject vitality into a project that occasionally suffers from longueurs.REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE: The age-old theme of teenage violence and delinquency is given distinctive insight by the well-cast Dean-Wood-Mineo trio.
Perhaps the best teen-age drama of the 1950s. Academy Award Nominations: Best Supporting Actor--Sal Mineo, Best Supporting Actress--Natalie Wood, Best Motion Picture Story.
