Sterling Hayden stars in Stanley Kubrick's crime noir classic, THE KILLING, based on crime Lionel White's novel CLEAN BREAK. Hayden plays Johnny Clay, an ex-con with a plan to steal $2 million from a San Francisco racetrack. He assembles an odd collection of tough guys and moles to participate in the heist. But just as there is no such thing as the perfect murder, there is no such thing as the perfect crime...The film features terrific performances from Hayden, Elisha Cook, Marie Windsor, and the rest of the talented cast. Kubrick, who brought in pulp writer Jim Thompson to create the perfect dialogue, tells the story with a nonlinear, fractured-time narrative, following each of the main characters separately as they prepare for the big day. Featuring Kubrick's flawless direction and wonderfully atmospheric photography, anchored by a jazz-tinged score by Gerald Fried, THE KILLING is one of the most intense noir heist films ever made.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Additional Release Material: Trailers - 1.

A British family drama with a Western flare, ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE MIDLANDS starts out as a chaotic comedy of familial dysfunction and then changes into an emotional tale of love and loss. At the story's core is a love triangle between Shirley (Shirley Henderson), her nerdy boyfriend Dek (Rhys Ifans), and the bad seed Jimmy (Robert Carlyle). Jimmy abandoned Shirley and her daughter Marlene (Finn Atkins) years ago, but has returned to win them back. A motley pseudo-family, Shirley, Dek, and Marlene live in the Midlands area of England. Next door, the outspoken Carol (Kathy Burke) lives with her cowboy husband Charlie (Ricky Tomlinson), and their two young sons, along with Carol's teenage daughter Donna (Kelly Thresher) and Donna's boyfriend Donut (Andrew Shim). Jimmy is Carol's selfish brother who slinks back into town with a gang of Scottish thugs in tow, throwing the whole group into flux. With some hilarious comedic interludes provided by the loveable Dek, and the humdrum yet happy lives of this makeshift family proving the power of togetherness, ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE MIDLANDS is an entertaining, at times heartrending family story from writer-director Shane Meadows.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseWidescreenAudio: Dolby Digital 2.0 - EnglishAdditional Release Material: Trailers
