ONE VOICE (not Ellsworth Monkton Toohey): Pier Paolo Pasolini's The Gospel According to St. Matthew was the Pièce de résistance this week via a wonderful Masters of Cinema Blu-ray. Anchor Bay seems to have the best 1080P transfer of the 'Director's cut' of Battle Royale. Steven Spielberg's War Horse is a super film and fabulous Blu-ray. Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy is a riveting new adaptation of the 1974 spy novel by John le Carré - another worthwhile indulgence for the Home Theater. Criterion's The War Room didn't do much for me, personally. Many will appreciate David Cronenberg's A Dangerous Method, but I'd say far less-so for Strip Nude For Your Killer. Leonard has returned for reviews of Acorn's new Brideshead Revisited on Blu-ray and their upcoming new SD transfer of I, Claudius. I loved the Noir No Man of Her Own on Olive DVD as well as George Stevens' Something to Live For. Boy's prison film, the Norwegian King of Devil's Island makes for great viewing and Wreckers has some cool experimental attributes. Eric has done a new comparison of The Survivor - an Aussie flic directed by David Hemmings and starring Jenny Agutter and Joseph Cotten He's also compared the exploitive-sounding Satan's Slave and at the opposite-end of the spectrum reviewed Tammy and the Bachelor with Debbie Reynolds. Have an amazing week!

  THIS WEEK's REVIEWS / COMPARISONS
 

Brideshead Revisited BD - Two of Evelyn Waugh’s most popular novels have been well served on the big and little screen: Tony Richardson’s 1965 film The Loved One and ITV’s 1981 television series Brideshead Revisited. Waugh should be quite pleased. The television adaptation by John Mortimer and Derek Granger has since become a classic and was the vehicle that catapulted Jeremy Irons to fame (though it was Anthony Andrews who won the BAFTA TV Award for his deliriously dreamy portrayal of a dissipated Sebastian Flyte). Blu-ray Release Date: November 1st, 2011

A Dangerous Method BD - Viggo Mortensen and Michael Fassbender star in director David Cronenberg's adaptation of Christopher Hampton's play detailing the deteriorating relationship between Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung. The year is 1904. Carl Jung (Fassbender), a disciple of Sigmund Freud (Mortensen), is using Freudian techniques to treat Russian-Jewish psychiatric patient Sabina Spielrein (Keira Knightley) at Burghölzli Mental Hospital. But the deeper Jung's relationship with Spielrein grows, the further the burgeoning psychiatrist and his highly respected mentor drift apart. As Jung struggles to help his patient overcome some pressing paternal issues, disturbed patient Otto Gross (Vincent Cassel) sets out to test the boundaries of the doctor's professional resolve. A Dangerous Method screened at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival. Blu-ray Release Date: March 27th, 2012

War Horse BD - Director Steven Spielberg's epic World War I drama details the remarkable bond between a man named Albert (Jeremy Irvine)... and his loyal horse, Joey. Adapted from the novel by Michael Morpurgo, War Horse follows the growing friendship between man and beast as Albert trains Joey, and then follows Joey on an incredible journey across the English countryside after the pair are forcibly separated. Along the way, Joey touches the lives of everyone he comes into contact with, including British and German soldiers, as well as a kindly French farmer and his impressionable granddaughter. Later, in no man's land, Joey's extraordinary saga winds to a poignant and deeply affecting climax. Blu-ray Release date: April 3rd, 2012

I, Claudius - 35th Anniversary - Rated one of the "100 Best TV Shows of All Time" by Time magazine, this epic BBC series spans the history of the Roman Empire from Augustus through Claudius, a stuttering scholar who learns early to play the fool and stay alive. Based on the novels by Robert Graves, it stars Derek Jacobi (The King’s Speech, Cadfael) in a career-defining role. Siân Phillips (The Age of Innocence) is “exquisitely wicked” (Los Angeles Times) as the lethal Livia, wife to Augustus (Brian Blessed, Hamlet), while John Hurt (The Elephant Man) is "decadence personified" (USA Today) as the depraved Caligula, whose reign of terror paves the way for Claudius’s ascension. DVD Release Date: March 27th, 2012

Strip Nude For Your Killer BD - A leather-clad killer who hides his identity under a motorcycle helmet goes on a depraved killing spree in this unabashedly... sadistic giallo directed by Andrea Bianchi (Burial Ground) and starring Nino Castelnuovo and Femi Benussi. A fashion model has died while receiving an illegal abortion, and after the abortionist is slain, the black-clad killer begins targeting the deceased model's former co-workers. One by bloody one the models begin to fall prey to the mysterious killer, and all of the crimes have one thing in common - the victims were all forced to strip nude before meeting their grim fate. Blu-ray Release date: March 26th, 2012

Something to Live For - Something to Live For is the last of director George Stevens' "small" films, before he concentrated full-time on such... blockbusters as Shane and Giant. Joan Fontaine plays a popular actress who descends into alcoholism. Ray Milland, in an unofficial extension of his Lost Weekend role, plays a reformed drunkard who comes to Fontaine's rescue. He encourages her to join Alcoholics Anonymous--one of the first times that this organization was given any kind of screen treatment. Milland's concern strains his relationship with his wife (Teresa Wright), who doubts that Ray's interest in Fontaine is merely humanitarian. But Milland refuses to endanger his marriage no matter how strong his feelings towards Fontaine--nor how much the audience wants him to. DVD Release Date: March 27th, 2012

King of Devil's Island - This true story of the infamous Bastøy Boys Home correctional facility in Norway, begins with the arrival of seventeen-year-old Erling, a rumored murderer. He immediately clashes with the island facility's governor (Stellan Skarsgård), who believes manual labor, rigid discipline, and harsh punishment are the only methods that can turn the boys into honorable members of society. Refusing to accept the constant abuse, Erling slowly rouses the rest of the boys out of their resigned existence, and encourages them to fight to lift up their spirits. When tragedy finally falls at the hand of the sadistic dorm master, Erling leads his comrades in a courageous and vicious rebellion that will bring them head to head with no less than the Norwegian Army. DVD Release Date: April 10th, 2012

Wreckers - A married couple move back to his childhood village to start a family but a surprise visit from the husband's brother ignites sibling rivalry and exposes the lies embedded in the couple’s relationship. WRECKERS is an evocative, beautifully shot debut from director D R Hood that examines the fragile relationship between truth, intimacy and betrayal. DVD Release Date: March 12th, 2012

Tammy and the Bachelor - After Tammy (Debbie Reynolds - Singin' in the Rain) and her Grandpa (Walter Brennan - Rio Bravo) find Peter Brent (Leslie Nielsen - Naked Gun) alone and unconscious near their Mississippi home, they take him in and restore him to health. But when Grandpa is arrested for bootlegging, Tammy is forced to leave their riverside shack and goes to stay with Peter and his family in luxurious new surroundings. But will Tammy ever feel at home in high society, and how will she cope with the first stirrings of love? This beloved romantic comedy (originally released in the UK as Tammy) was a huge hit on its original release, along with its chart-topping title song. Tammy and the Bacheloris a delightful classic for all generations and is now available for the first time for home viewing in the UK. DVD Release Date: May 24th, 2010

Satan's Slave - As her twentieth birthday approaches, Catherine Yorke (Candace Glendenning, TOWER OF EVIL) experiences ominous premonitions that nevertheless compel her to agree to travel with her parents (James Bree [ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE] and Celia Hewitt [THE SHUTTERED ROOM]) to the remote countryside to meet her father's long-lost brother Alexander (Michael Gough, HORRORS OF THE BLACK MUSEUM). As soon as they reach the grounds of Yorke estate, her father suffers a migraine and crashes into a tree. Catherine gets out to get help only to witness the car explode, killing both of her parents. Alexander takes her in and allows her to stay with him for as long as she needs to recover. Amidst disturbing hallucinations involving witch burnings, torture, and black masses, Catherine falls in love with her cousin Stephen (Martin Potter, FELLINI SATYRICON) who likes to mutilate women on the side. Alexander's jealous secretary Frances (Barbara Kellerman, THE MONSTER CLUB) clues Catherine in to her family's evil heritage: she's the direct look-alike descendant of witch Camilla Yorke, and her uncle and cousin have very special plans for her on her twentieth birthday. DVD Release Date: March 20th, 2012

The Survivor - When an airliner crashes in a small village, all three hundred passengers are killed. The only survivor is the pilot Keller (Robert Powell, JESUS OF NAZARETH) who has no memory of what happened. Psychic Hobbs (Jenny Agutter, AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON) eventually approaches him and tells him that the spirits of the dead want him to discover who or what was responsible for the crash; and they'd better hurry since - JU-ON-like - various people connected to the crash (however tangential) are being stalked and killed by those disturbed spirits in the form of a little girl (Brigette Webster) and her creepy doll. DVD Release Date: April 17th, 2012

The War Room BD - The 1992 presidential election was a triumph not only for Bill Clinton but also for the new breed of strategists who guided him to the White House and changed the face of politics in the process. For this thrilling, behind-closed-doors account of that campaign, renowned cinema verité filmmakers D. A. Pennebaker (Monterey Pop) and Chris Hegedus (Startup.com) closely followed the brainstorming and bull sessions of Clinton’s crack team of consultants—especially the folksy James Carville and the preppy George Stephanopoulos, who became media stars in their own right as they injected a youthful spirit and spontaneity into the process of campaigning. Fleet-footed and entertaining, The War Room is a vivid document of a political moment whose truths (“It’s the economy, stupid!”) still ring in our ears. Blu-ray Release Date: March 12th, 2012

No Man of Her Own - A woman is torn between a comfortable lie and the painful truth in this classic Film Noir. Screen legend Barbara Stanwyck assumes another woman’s identity after surviving a train accident in this haunting drama based on a Cornell Woolrich (under the pseudonym, William Irish) novel, I Married a Dead Man. Eventually her past catches up to her when her crooked ex-lover (Lyle Bettger) arrives in town, demanding money to keep her true identity a secret. Beautifully photographed by legendary cinematography by Daniel L. Fapp (The Big Clock). Directed by Mitchell Leisen (Midnight). DVD Release Date: March 27th, 2012

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy BD - Dread throbs like a heartbeat in “Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy,” a superb new adaptation of the 1974 spy novel by John le Carré. It’s a deep pulse that maintains its insistent rhythm throughout the film’s murmured conversations, life-and-death office intrigues, violence and yearning loves. The throbbing does a number on your nervous system — this is a movie you watch on high alert — and brings you into the state of mind that can feel like a state of siege and goes by the name of British secret service, or just the Circus. For those inside the intelligence service, like George Smiley, played with delicacy and understated power by Gary Oldman, knowledge is power, but so too is fear. Blu-ray Release date: March 20th, 2012

Battle Royale BD - Pop quiz: What would happen if someone, say a Japanese filmmaker named Kinji Fukasaku, threw TV’s Survivor, cinema’s The Running Man, and literature’s Lord of the Flies into a big cinematic pot and stirred? Yup, you’d have Battle Royale, a Japanese film about a class of ninth graders who, according to a newly passed law called the BR (Battle Royale), must go to an obscure island and participate in an decidedly sick and deadly game. Anchor Bay Blu-ray Release Date: March 20th, 2012

The Gospel According to St. Matthew BD - Legendary director (and avowed atheist) Pier Paolo Pasolini's The Gospel According to Matthew [Il vangelo secondo Matteo] is one of the great retellings of the story of Christ a cinematic rendering (filmed by invitation from the Pope, no less) at once both passionate and poetic. With stunning black-and-white photography, an eclectic soundtrack (Odetta, Bach, a Congolese mass, etc), and using a cast of non-professionals who voice dialogue drawn directly from scripture, The Gospel According to Matthew depicts the key events in the life of Christ, from immaculate conception to death on the cross. Vaunted by the Vatican as one of its select few recommended films, acclaimed by the Archbishop of Canterbury as a “great film”, and revered by critics and audiences alike, Pasolini's Oscar-, Golden Lion-, and BAFTA-nominated film remains a magnificent, awe-inspiring experience. Blu-ray Release Date: March 26th, 2012
