Based on Stephen King's novella THE BODY, director Rob Reiner's STAND BY ME is the disarmingly tender and subtly sublime story of four kids on the precipice of early adulthood who embark upon a quest. There's Gordie (Wil Wheaton), the intelligent, creative one with the obviously bright future. His best buddy, Chris (River Phoenix), hardens his image in order to hide the pain from the physical abuse he endures at home, all the while harboring the hope of escaping that image. Rounding out the foursome are Vern (Jerry O'Connell), the pudgy tagalong, and Teddy (Corey Feldman), a loyal and funny but troubled kid with a death wish.When the four boys hear about a dead body 20 miles down the railroad tracks from their small Oregon town, they clandestinely set upon the unwieldy journey to lay eyes on this rare find. Amid numerous misadventures, Gordie, Chris, Vern, and Teddy savor what may be their last chance to revel in the simple life of children; around the corner is a future that could tear them apart, not to mention a tough teen gang who desires local fame by finding the body first. Enhanced by excellent performances and an engaging plot, STAND BY ME ranks among the best of the myriad coming-of-age films to dot the 1980s cinematic landscape.DVD Features:Region 1 encodingKeep case

A tense love triangle develops when May (Anne Reid), a woman in her sixties grieving the death of her husband, strikes up a sexual relationship with Darren (Daniel Craig), a married man in his thirties who is having an extramarital affair with her daughter Paula (Cathryn Bradshaw). Not only is May much older than Darren, but the complexities of their relationship are limitless. For one, the sex is not subtle and neither is British director Roger Michell's portrayal of it. Family chaos and psychological outpouring abound as the women in this movie undergo some tough soul searching, all of which finds an outlet in the resident boy toy, who works in the house as--you guessed it--a carpenter. This tangled tale drums up all kinds of mixed feelings about different relationships: husband to wife, mother to daughter, adulterous boyfriend to self-loathing girlfriend, and well, aging grandmother to young lothario carpenter. All smirking aside, THE MOTHER is a deeply emotional film with performances that are genuine and touching. It's a movie about real people with real problems showing the way they act when they are most vulnerable. Perhaps it is this tenderness that makes the film so challenging. For brave and patient viewers, this may be one of the most courageous films ever made about a widowed woman enjoying the last chapter of her life.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseAnamorphic Widescreen - 1.85Audio: Dolby Digital 5.1 - English Subtitles - English, French - OptionalAdditional Release Material: Audio Commentary - 1.

Hamlet - Criterion Collection (DVD) Hamlet - Criterion Collection (DVD) » Hamlet - Criterion Collection (DVD)

Before Kenneth Branagh, before Mel Gibson, Laurence Olivier gave the definitive portrayal of the man who could not make up his mind. In 15th-century Denmark, young Prince Hamlet is racked by torment and indecision after seeing a vision of his deceased father. The late king's ghost informs his son Hamlet that Claudius, Hamlet's uncle, was responsible for murdering the king. When the murderer married Hamlet's mother--the king's widow--scarcely two months after his funeral, he also took the throne that was his brother's. The ghost beseeches Hamlet to avenge him--yet Hamlet procrastinates, unsure of how best to accomplish his task. In what was only his second directorial effort, Olivier uses his misty, moody set and long tracking camera shots to complement his indecisive prince tortured by the murder of his father. Olivier's version of the Shakespeare tragedy eliminates the characters of Rosencrantz, Guildenstern, and Fortinbras.DVD FeaturesRegion 0Full Frame - 1.33Single Side - Single LayerAudio: Dolby Digital Mono 1.0 - EnglishInteractive Features: Interactive Menus Scene Access

Director Bruce Beresford's thriller stars Ashley Judd as Libby Parsons, a young woman with a seemingly happy marriage and a prosperous life. While on a weekend sailing trip, she wakes up in the middle of the night to find the boat covered in blood and her husband, Nick (Bruce Greenwood), missing. Since she's found holding a knife covered in her husband's blood, Libby's quickly indicted and convicted of murder. Her lawyer suggests that she give up her son, and he's soon adopted by her friend, Angie (Annabeth Gish), who promptly disappears with the child. Although Libby's angry enough to break out of prison, her lawyer-cellmate advises her to wait for parole and take advantage of double jeopardy protection, a legal loophole that prevents her from being tried for the same crime twice. Six years later, Libby's paroled into a halfway house under the care of hard-bitten probation officer Travis Lehman (Tommy Lee Jones). She escapes immediately, taking off to find her son and exact revenge on those who framed her. Lehman, expecting as much, is fast on her trail.DVD Features:Region 1 EncodingKeep CaseAnamorphic Widescreen - 2.35Audio: Dolby Digital 5.1 - EnglishAdditional Release Material: Featurette - 1.
