DVD Playhouse—September 2009

By

Allen Gardner

The Human Condition (Criterion) Masaki Kobayashi’s epic (574 minutes) adaptation of Junpei Gomikawa’s six-volume novel was originally made and released as three separate films (1959-61), and is rightfully regarded as a landmark of Japanese cinema. Candide-like story of naïve, good-hearted Kaiji (Japanese superstar Tatsuya Nakadai) from labor camp supervisor, to Imperial Army solider, to Soviet Pow, and Kaiji’s struggle to maintain his humanity throughout. Unfolds with the mastery of a great novel, beautifully-shot, and a stunning example of cinematic mastery on the part of its makers. Four-disc set bonuses include: Interview with Kobayashi; Interview with Nakadai; Featurette; Trailer; Essay by critic Philip Kemp. Widescreen. Dolby 3.0 surround.

State Of Play (Universal) Russell Crowe stars as a veteran Washington D.C. political reporter investigating the murder of an aide to a rising congressional star (Ben Affleck), who also happens to be an old friend. »

M*A*S*H - Blu-ray Review

18 September 2009 7:57 AM, PDT | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »

This review should be read over a P.A. system to get the proper atmosphere. Now hear this . Robert Altman.s career making film is finally come out on Blu-ray. The black comedy hasn.t lost its ability to make you laugh or to make you think about war. I.m sure Altman would be proud. The 4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital, or Mash, is operating behind the front lines in Korea during the Korean War (1950-1953). Surgeon Capt. Hawkeye Pierce (Donald Sutherland) and Capt. Duke Forrest (Tom Skerritt) have recently arrived at the unit. They.re bunking with Major Frank Burns (Robert Duvall), a poor surgeon and deeply religious, and the freewheeling Hawkeye and Duke immediately clash with him. They »

Boos! and Whoop-doos!: The Power of F*@# in a PG-13 World

21 August 2009 12:30 PM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »

Fuck? Whoop-doo!

The fabulous "fuck" word. A pair of glistening titties. A subplot about spoiled underpants. Gratuitous underage alcohol consumption. Granny bashing. And a horny Asian co-op student that rubs his dick on a seven-foot tall beast of a woman. All in a PG rated movie. What? How did this happen? The year was 1984, and John Hughes got away with murder. His film Sixteen Candles came just before Mola Ram graciously ripped the heart out of an extra on the set of Indiana Jones & The Temple Of Doom. Moments before Steven Spielberg preformed this one malicious act on the filmgoing youth of America, our PG rated films used to be a lot meaner. Sexier. Funnier. Right on the edge of being R rated. Now, most PG-13 films won't touch the material found in those early PG rated affairs. You need look no further than the original The Bad News Bears »

Shirley Temple Seduces Fellow 'War Babies' In Today's Sick Day Stash (With Video!)

19 August 2009 11:00 AM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

Call them "cult classics." "Guilty pleasures." "Comfort movies." We all have a mental rolodex of flicks that aren't terribly popular but, for one reason or another, they resonate in a very special way. Maybe you saw it at the right moment. Maybe you just see gold where everyone else sees feces. Whatever the case, these are the special favorites that you keep stashed away for sick days. Here are some of ours.

Get ready for "Sick Day Stash" to take on a whole new meaning. Decades before Robert Altman's "Mash," more than half a century ahead of Robert Rodriguez's "Spy Kids" and more than 75 years before "Kid Nation," one short Shirley Temple comedy thumbed its nose at the violent front lines of World War I, leaving a bizarre relic from its time that wedged child actors into hilariously unsettling adult roles.

Behind the Lens: Duncan Jones, Director of Moon

Behind the Lens [1] is a feature where we pose a series of short, offbeat questions to inspiring filmmakers, actors and artists in order to get to know them a little better. Moon, the debut feature film from Duncan Jones, has been getting a lot of great buzz ever since it premiered at Sundance earlier this year. With a cerebral plot and an impressive solo performance by Sam Rockwell, not to mention amazing special effects on a shoestring budget, many critics have hailed it as the return of science-fiction for the thinking man on the big screen. The film is currently playing in select theatres in the U.S., and it will premiere in Canada starting this Friday. For more info on where you can see Moon, visit the film's official website [2], or follow Duncan on Twitter [3]. Now, after the jump, check out our Q&A with writer-director Duncan Jones!
