Buy The Blue Bird (DVD)

Masterful silent-film director Maurice Tourneur (LAST OF THE MOHICANS) made the first, and arguably the best, interpretation of Maurice Maeterlinck`s play. Preceding the paragon of German Expressionist THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI by a year, this fantastical film utilizes extravagant costumes and sets, and wholly innovative camera effects. Two young children, brother Tytyl (Robin MacDougall) and sister Mytyl (Tula Belle), head off in search of the Bluebird of Happiness in a bid to improve their lot in life. Their highly allegorical journey forces them to confront edifying life lessons at every turn, visiting the
Palace of Joy and Delights
and the
Land of the Unborn,
before discovering that the Bluebird was in their own backyard all along. The director`s theater background is evident in the staginess of sets, which is symptomatic of the then still-new filmic medium, while the magical story unfolds in an exuberant display of creativity.

Sophisticated, but emotionally crippled Roslyn (Marilyn Monroe, giving what many believe to be her strongest performance) has come to Nevada to gain a quick and easy divorce. When her landlady introduces her to aging, broken cowboy Gay Langland (Clark Gable), she finally finds herself with a worthy partner. Meanwhile, Gay and his fellow horsemen Guido and Perce (Eli Wallach and Montgomery Clift) scheme to capture a herd of wild horses. Though megawatt star power and a brilliant script by Arthur Miller failed to turn THE MISFITS into box office success (probably due a legendarily troubled shoot), time and critical reputation treated it very kindly. It was the final film for icons Gable and Monroe.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseLetterboxed - 1.66Audio: Dolby Digital Mono - English Dolby Digital Mono - French Dolby Digital Mono - SpanishAdditional Release Material: Trailers - 1.

Stealing Sinatra Stealing Sinatra » Stealing Sinatra

William H. Macy and David Arquette star in this comedy about a flawed plot to kidnap Frank Sinatra Jr. Based on the real life kidnapping of the famed singer`s son in 1963, STEALING SINATRA puts a black humor spin on what was, at the time, a rather sobering event. This technique is reminiscent of TO DIE FOR. Filmmaker Ron Underwood delightfully revels in the domino effect of bad choices that break down into hilarious chaos. These acclaimed actors play up the bumbling, essentially harmless characteristics of these criminal idiots.

Spike Lee's bracing adaptation of David Benioff's novel is a vibrant, vital motion picture. Edward Norton plays Monty Brogan, a harmless drug dealer who has 24 hours of freedom before serving a seven-year jail sentence. Nervous, confused, and terrified, Monty turns to his closest friends for support: Frank Slattery (Barry Pepper), a cocky stock broker who resents Monty for throwing his life away; Jakob Elinsky (Philip Seymour Hoffman), a hapless high school teacher who is attracted to one of his students (Anna Paquin); and Monty's heartbroken father (Brian Cox), who blames himself for Monty's demise. And then there is Naturelle (Rosario Dawson), Monty's beautiful girlfriend, who may or may not be guilty of ratting Monty out to the cops. Monty spends his last day trying to ignore the inevitability of time, but everyone and everything only reminds him of the bleak, unpromising days that lay ahead.With 25TH HOUR, Spike Lee revisits the fiery territory of 1989's DO THE RIGHT THING. Frustrated by Hollywood's cold shoulder toward the tragedy of September 11th, Lee attacks the subject with fervor, resulting in a film that brilliantly captures the mood and atmosphere in New York City in the months following the attack. The film features stellar contributions from composer Terence Blanchard, cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto, and Lee's ensemble cast.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseAnamorphic Widescreen - 2.35Audio: THX Certified Audio Dolby Digital 5.1 - English Dolby Digital 5.1 - FrenchAdditional Release Material: Deleted Scenes Audio Commentary - 1.
