ONE VOICE (not Ellsworth Monkton Toohey): A fairly easy top selection choice with Powell and Pressburger's The Tales of Hoffmann reaching Blu-ray from Studio Canal in the UK. Brilliant and strongly recommended! Criterion win the battle with their Make Way For Tomorrow Blu-ray advancing upon their UK counterpart with the presentation and supplements associated with Leo McCarey's masterpiece film. I was also very taken with Nuri Bilge Ceylan's Winter Sleep - another deliberately paced meditative expose from the Turkish director - and now on Blu-ray on both sides of the pond. The joy linked to Lloyd Bacon's 'granddaddy of backstage musicals' 42nd Street is only exemplified on Warner Archive's new 1080P Blu-ray package. Woohoo! Clint's American Sniper is a thought-provoking drama on the effects of war on one man. The Blu-ray delivers. Hitch's Jamaica Inn is much maligned by the critics but it is still The Master and has Laughton and Maureen O'Hara with Cohen's Blu-ray transfer looking better than ever. We'll complete the Blu-ray comments with two Roger Corman films - Kino Lorber's The Premature Burial significantly advances over the earlier European BD and its another creepy Poe experience. I was less keen on The Secret Invasion - but I can see the appeal for fans of The Dirty Dozen. On DVD, I covered the remarkable, pre-code, mystery Crime on the Hill - looking positively impressive in SD. While Eric reviewed the highly interesting The Nun, the South American thriller God's Slave, and another Gay romance; Futuro Beach. See you next week. "I think cinema, movies, and magic have always been closely associated. The very earliest people who made film were magicians." - Francis Ford Coppola

  THIS WEEK's REVIEWS / COMPARISONS
 

Winter Sleep BD - Directed by the Turkish cinema master, Nuri Bilge Ceylan, this enthralling, brilliantly photographed film won the top prize at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival and was Turkey's entrant in the Oscar Best Foreign Language Film category. Ceylan's Once Upon A Time in Anatolia had shared the top prize at Cannes in 2011. Set in the amazingly picturesque Cappadocia region in central Turkey, the exterior scenes strikingly capture the remarkable topography a World Heritage site while the interior scenes bring Rembrandt to mind. A retired actor has inherited a small hotel where he is ensconced with his recently divorced sister, his much younger and growingly discontented wife. A seemingly trivial incident sets in motion a drama of personalities at odds with each other and the paths their lives have taken. The superb cast of actors quickly takes your attention and won't let it go. Blu-ray Release date: May 5th, 2015

American Sniper BD - Early on in Clint Eastwood’s new film, we take a detour back to the Texan childhood of Navy SEAL superstar Chris Kyle. Here, around the family table, he informs his tough-loving pop that he had to rescue his younger brother from a bully by beating the thug to the ground. “There are three types of people,” his father responds as if imparting one of those classic, Eastwood dictums, “sheep, wolves and sheep dogs.” Sheep dogs protect the sheep from the wolves. Years later, enraged by 9/11, Kyle enlists as a sniper and become a sheep dog like no other. The ground troops, going door to door through treacherous streets, knew him as “Legend”. The Insurgents, who put a spiralling price on his head, dubbed him “The Devil Of Ramadi”. Kyle did four tours of duty in Iraq, amassing 161 confirmed kills. And gradually this true-blue patriot fell apart. Blu-ray Release date: May 19th, 2015

42nd Street BD - Set during the depression, this is the granddaddy of backstage musicals in which the understudy finally gets a chance to shine. It may seem a little cliché now, but in 1933 this was hot stuff. All that behind-the-scenes atmosphere feels very genuine, and the script is more acerbic than you might expect. A sickly Julian Marsh (Warner Baxter) puts his all into what may be his last show, only to face a disaster when leading lady Dorothy Brock (Bebe Daniels) sprains her ankle. Thank heavens for ingenue Peggy Sawyer (Ruby Keeler), who steps in at the last minute. The vivacious soundtrack includes "Shuffle off to Buffalo," and the still-catchy title tune. Best of all are those extravagant, kaleidoscopic dance numbers by Busby Berkeley, then in his prime. Blu-ray Release Date: March 25th, 2015

Jamaica Inn BD - A rediscovered classic by the master of suspense, fully restored in 4K in collaboration with the British Film Institute from an archival picture negative. In this dark period drama, a young woman discovers her uncle heads a gang of ship-wreckers and murderers under the secret patronage of the local squire, wickedly played by Charles Laughton. Her efforts to stop their wicked ways leads her down a path filled with murder and betrayal. Blu-ray Release Date: May 12th, 2015

Make Way For Tomorrow BD - While not a box-office success, this drama, directed by Leo McCarey, developed a potent reputation among film critics and movie buffs for its sensitive and perceptive treatment of the problems of the elderly. When McCarey won the Oscar for Best Director the same year for The Awful Truth, he remarked that the Academy gave him the award for the wrong movie. Barkley and Lucy Cooper (Victor Moore and Beulah Bondi) are a couple in their late 60s who have fallen on hard times and have been given the bad news that the bank is foreclosing on their house. Criterion Blu-ray Release Date: May 12th, 2015

The Secret Invasion BD - Producer/director Roger Corman briefly abandoned Edgar Allan Poe for The Secret Invasion, a commendable attempt to make a war epic on a "B" budget. The story is a scaled-down precursor to The Dirty Dozen: Five criminals are given a chance at a pardon by agreeing to participate in a suicide mission for British Intelligence. They are smuggled into Yugoslavia where this film was made to conduct several commando raids against the Nazi invaders. The quintet is comprised of veterans of internationally-produced war films: Stewart Granger, Raf Vallone, Mickey Rooney, Edd "Kookie" Byrnes and Henry Silva observe the cast and guess who gets killed first. Corman's skill at generating excitement through quick cutting and careful camera composition is given an exhilarating workout in The Secret Invasion. Blu-ray Release date: May 5th, 2015

The Premature Burial BD - The third of Corman's generally impressive Poe cycle suffers from the fact that Milland, rather than Vincent Price (lead in most of the other entries in the series), stars as the cataleptic medical student haunted by fantastic fears of being buried alive like his father before him. Needless to say, nightmare becomes reality and revenge is meted out; indeed, the predictability of the plotting clearly led Corman to focus his attention, somewhat decoratively, on conjuring up a gloomy Gothic atmosphere that, while effective, too often seems an end in itself, rather than a means of creating horror. The film does have its macabre moments, however, notably Milland proudly showing friends around a tomb he has devised for himself, complete with a variety of exits should his worst dreams come true. Kino Lorber Blu-ray Release date: May 12th, 2015

The Tales of Hoffmann BD - Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger create a phantasmagoric marriage of cinema and opera in this one-of-a-kind take on a classic story. In Jacques Offenbach’s fantasy opera The Tales of Hoffmann, a poet dreams of three women—a mechanical performing doll, a bejeweled siren, and the consumptive daughter of a famous composer—all of whom break his heart in different ways. Powell and Pressburger’s feverishly romantic adaptation is a feast of music, dance, and visual effects, and one of the most exhilarating opera films ever produced. Blu-ray Release Date: March 23rd, 2015

The Nun - In 1760s France, Suzanne is a beautiful young girl with a natural talent for music, enjoying a quietly privileged life. Inexplicably sent off to a convent, she resists structure at every turn until she discovers that she is an illegitimate child. Left with no other option, she pronounces her vows and suffers the consequences of the sins of her mother. Still uncertain of her path and oppressed by aggressive and inappropriate Mother Superiors, Suzanne continues to resist imposed religious values and the dehumanizing effect of cloistered life. Based on the classic novel by Diderot. DVD Release Date: May 5th, 2015

Crime on the Hill - Suspense and wry humour abound in this classic murder mystery set in an English country house one of the first films made in Britain by influential American director Bernard Vorhaus, with a cast that includes former child star Sally Blane, acclaimed British player Lewis Casson and comedy stalwarts Hay Petrie and Hal Gordon. DVD Release Date: April 28th, 2015

God's Slave - The events around which GOD'S SLAVE is based upon have created an international scandal which is currently unfolding in Argentina. The prosecutor investigating the 1994 bombing upon which the film is based, was murdered in January 2015, one day before he was scheduled to present to Congress his allegations against Argentina's sitting President, whom he was prepared to accuse of attempting to coverup this terrorist act. His murder remains unsolved, as these developments continue to unfold. DVD Release Date: May 5th, 2015

Futuro Beach - Part gay romance, part inquisitive self-journey, FUTURO BEACH is a stunning examination of lives lost and found. Donato (Wagner Moura) works as a lifeguard at the spectacular but treacherous Praia do Futuro beach in Brazil; Konrad (Clemens Schick) is an ex-military thrill-seeker from Germany vacationing with a friend. After Donato saves Konrad from drowning, but fails to save his other friend, initial sexual sparks give way to a deeper, emotional connection. DVD Release Date: May 5th, 2015
