Donnie Martemarano stars in this gritty lowlife tale as Tommy, a small-time criminal pushing 60 who has just been released from jail. His old running buddy, Mic, meets him at the prison, tells him that he's gone clean, and takes Tommy to the Golden Eagle, one of L.A.'s sleaziest hotels. There, he tells Tommy his plan to head to Las Vegas and live life clean. Unfortunately, Tommy is uninterested. Fresh out of jail, Tommy immediately finds himself a hooker at the hotel and, in a harrowing sequence, murders her out of rage, putting himself and Mic in great danger and jeopardizing Mic's Las Vegas dream.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseAnamorphic Widescreen - 2.35Audio: Dolby Digital 5.1 - EnglishAdditional Release Material: Production Interviews Audio Commentary - 1.

Mike Newell's MONA LISA SMILE is a pretty period film that combines a quaint pedagogical tale with a feminist dissection of traditional female roles in 1950s society. Julia Roberts leads an impressive cast of top young actresses including Maggie Gyllenhaal, Kirsten Dunst, and Julia Stiles. Roberts is Katherine Watson, a revolutionary art history teacher at Wellesley College in 1953. Though she has true admiration for her intelligent all-female students, she is perturbed that their interest in finding husbands takes precedence over their studies. Determined to instruct them in feminist values and teach them to be independent--defying the college's emphasis on breeding good wives, mothers, and homemakers--Watson is deemed subversive by the administration. Even Watson's identity--from California, over 30 years old, and unmarried--is problematic. And when she turns her class onto modern art rather than teaching the recommended classical curriculum, Watson is severely chastised by the staunchly conservative students and faculty.Beautiful photography of the picture-perfect Wellesley campus combined with a perpetual parade of lovely period costumes makes MONA LISA SMILE a visual delight. Strong performances by each of the actresses, including Dunst uncharacteristically cast as a prim and proper prude, and Marcia Gay Harden as a boring tv-addicted spinster, only add to the splendor of this enjoyable film.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseWidescreenAudio: Dolby Digital 5.1 - English Dolby Digital 2.0 - FrenchAdditional Release Material: Trailer Art Forum College Then and Now What Women Wanted: 1953 Music Video - 1.
