ONE VOICE (not Ellsworth Monkton Toohey): CineliciousPics' 2 Blu-ray package of the epic Indian crime-drama Gangs of Wasseypur will get the nod this week - as I was both impressed and impacted by the 5 1/2 hour presentation. Criterion's Blu-ray of Stephen Frears' My Beautiful Laundrette deserves high representation this week. A subversive work of social realism that dares to address racism, homophobia, and sociopolitical marginalization in Thatcher-centric England. Robert Wise's The Andromeda Strain gets a US Blu-ray release - at a ridiculous pre-order discount from Amazon. Phil Alden Robinson's Sneakers remains a clever thriller supported by an all-star cast - and it's now on region FREE Blu-ray from Universal in the US. Adam Rifkin's Giuseppe Makes a Movie offers a humorous and touching portrait of an odd but fascinating, bare-bones, independent filmmaker and the world he has created for himself. James B. Harris' Some Call It Loving is a haunting fable - a kind of film we don't get to see very often - and now available on Blu-ray. Cherry 2000 may not be any more than you might expect - a quirky and occasionally sexy science-fiction adventure offered via Kino Lorber Blu-ray complete with a commentary. The 70's French spy-comedy The Tall Blond Man With One Black Shoe gets a Blu-ray release from Film Movement. The impressive horror Madhouse with Vincent Price and Peter Cushing looks significantly superior on Blu-ray from the old MGM DVD flipper. House of 1000 Dolls is an unusual exploitation thriller from the 60's - also with Vincent Price and offered on Blu-ray with a new commentary. On DVD Eric covered four titles; the highly lauded Story of My Death on Second Run DVD, the intriguing Italian drama Human Capital, the multiple award-winning Stop the Pounding Heart and the romantic comedy Gerontophilia. Love this quote “But there is something stronger than fear. It grows inside you, poisonous and festering, and it tells its name is Pride, but it's a liar. Its name is Hate.” See you next week!

  THIS WEEK's REVIEWS / COMPARISONS
 

The Tall Blond Man With One Black Shoe BD - A frothy French farce, The Tall Blond Man with One Black Shoe is a classic madcap comedy about espionage, surveillance and mistaken identity. When Francois (Pierre Richard), an unsuspecting violinist, is misidentified as a superspy by national intelligence, outrageous antics ensue. As everyone (including Mireille Darc, playing a knock-out henchwoman) falls over each other in their misguided attempts to discover the tall blond man's secrets, his best friend complicates matters even further when he overhears a salacious recording of Francois with his wife. The whole merry-go-round comes crashing to a halt in one final showdown, pitting spy versus supposed spy with hilarious results. Elegantly filmed and accompanied by a memorable score, The Tall Blond Man with One Black Shoe is one of the most seminal comedies of the 1970s. Blu-ray Release date: July 14th, 2015

Gangs of Wasseypur BD - One family's hold on India's criminal underworld over six decades sets the stage for this ambitious, epic-scale crime thriller from director Anurag Kashyap. In 1941, as the departure of the British leaves control of coal mining in the North up for grabs, ruthless criminal Shahid Khan ({$Jaideep Ahlawat)) becomes right-hand man to corrupt mine owner Ramadhir Singh (Rajat Bhagat), but as Shahid becomes more powerful and well-connected, Ramadhir is forced to have him killed. Before he dies, Shahid had a son, Sardar (Manoj Bajpayee), who in the early 1960s moves to Wasseypur and becomes a killer for hire. Sadar builds a powerful criminal empire in Wasseypur, but his sons Danish (Vineet Singh), Faizal (Nawazuddin Siddiqui), Perpendicular (Aditya Kumar) and Definite (Zeishan Quadri) become caught up in a generation-spanning struggle to take control of the family business and claim revenge against Ramadhir and his underlings. Originally screened in two parts, with a combined running time of over five hours, Gangs of Wasseypur was an official selection at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival. Blu-ray Release date: July 14th, 2015

Madhouse BD - Masters of macabre Vincent Price (Tales of Terror), Peter Cushing (The Hound of the Baskervilles) and Robert Quarry (Dr. Phibes Rises Again) give terrifying performances to die for in this diverting little chiller. When horror star Paul Toombes' fiancé is brutally killed, he loses more than this job... he also loses his mind. But twelve years after suffering a nervous breakdown, the washed-up horror legend (Price) agrees to do a TV-series based on his old screen creation, the monstrous Dr. Death . Soon the cast and crew of the series begin dying in ways similar to the deaths the characters suffered in the actor's old movies. Editor Jim Clark (Marathon Man) directed this top-notch horror classic based on the novel by Angus Hall (Qualthrough). Blu-ray Release Date: July 21st, 2015

My Beautiful Laundrette BD - Stephen Frears was at the forefront of the British cinematic revival of the mid-1980s, and the delightfully transgressive My Beautiful Laundrette is his greatest triumph of the period. Working from a richly layered script by Hanif Kureishi, who was soon to be an internationally renowned writer, Frears tells an uncommon love story that takes place between a young South London Pakistani man (Gordon Warnecke), who decides to open an upscale laundromat to make his family proud, and his childhood friend, a skinhead (Daniel Day-Lewis, in a breakthrough role) who volunteers to help make his dream a reality. This culture-clash comedy is also a subversive work of social realism that dares to address racism, homophobia, and sociopolitical marginalization in Margaret Thatcher’s England. Blu-ray Release date: July 21st, 2015

House of 1000 Dolls BD - Felix Manderville (Vincent Price) is a traveling magician who manages to make young women disappear in this exploitation thriller. The trouble is, Felix drugs the femmes and sells them to white slave traders with the help of his mind-reading assistant Rebecca (Martha Hyer). Marie Armstrong (Anne Smyrner) and her husband Stephen (George Nader) are American tourists who fall into the trap of the felonious flesh pedlars. Price plays the part with his usual suave and sinister manner in this routine production Blu-ray Release date: July 21st, 2015

Sneakers BD - Robert Redford leads an all-star cast in Sneakers, one of the most satisfying cryptography thrillers ever embedded with espionage and betrayal. Computer expert Martin Bishop (Redford) heads a team of renegade hackers including a former CIA employee (Sidney Poitier), a gadgets wizard (Dan Aykroyd), a young genius (River Phoenix) and a blind soundman (David Strathairn), who are routinely hired to test security systems. When government agents blackmail the “sneakers” into carrying out a covert mission of tracking down a top-secret black box, Bishop’s team find themselves embroiled in a dangerous operation. Along with his former girlfriend (Mary McDonnell), they make a stunning discovery - the device has the capability to decode all existing encryption systems around the world. Blu-ray Release date: July 14th, 2015

The Andromeda Strain BD - The "Andromeda Strain" is a deadly extraterrestrial virus. It is brought to Earth when a research satellite crashes near a tiny Arizona town. Everyone in the community dies within days, except for a baby and an "insulated" drunkard. Recruited from labs all over North America, doctors Charles Dutton (David Wayne), Jeremy Stone (Arthur Hill), Ruth Leavitt (Kate Reid), and Mark Hall (James Olson) don radiation suits and race against time to isolate and destroy the virus. The film is based on a novel by Michael Crichton. Blu-ray Release date: July 14th, 2015

Cherry 2000 BD - Need a bounty hunter? She's your man! In the future, a man travels to the ends of the earth to find the perfect woman. In this fun, futuristic sci-fi adventure, Melanie Griffith (Something Wild) is delightful and unflappable as a futuristic bounty hunter on a mission to find a robot replicant of a rich man's short-circuited wife. When successful businessman Sam Treadwell (David Andrews, Fight Club) finds that his android wife, Cherry model 2000 (Pamela Gidley, Highway to Hell), has blown a fuse, he hires sexy renegade tracker E. Johnson (Griffith) to find her exact duplicate. But as their journey to replace his perfect mate leads them into the treacherous and lawless region of The Zone. Steve De Jarnatt (Miracle Mile) made his feature-film debut in this badass futuristic thriller featuring a wonderful cast that includes Ben Johnson, Harry Carey Jr., Laurence Fishburne, Brion James, and Michael C. Gwynne. Blu-ray Release date: July 28th, 2015

Giuseppe Makes a Movie BD - Director Adam Rifkin (Look, The Dark Backward) creates a wildly surreal, outrageously funny and strangely touching portrait of a truly Outsider Artist inhabiting a world few of us even know exists, as he follows Giuseppe and his seriously impaired troupe on the production of his latest 2-day opus, Garbanzo Gas, starring Vietnam Ron as a Cow given a weekend reprieve from the slaughterhouse at the local motel. Beyond the sun-stroked Theater of the Absurd madness of Giuseppe’s vision, there is a remarkable and endearing sense of family among the director, his amiably bonkers dad Ed, patient girlfriend Mary, Sir Bigfoot George and the rest of his surreal Trailer Park rep company. Blu-ray Release date: July 14th, 2015

Some Call It Loving BD - In this modern day re-imagining of Sleeping Beauty, a disillusioned musician named Robert (Zalman King) obtains a carnival act from a sleazy carny and brings home a young girl (Tisa Farrow) who has been asleep for many years. After bringing her to his secluded castle and awakening her with a kiss, Robert tries to introduce her to his strange and magical world, but as their relationship develops Jennifer begins to pine for a life that is more complex than Robert can offer. Blu-ray Release date: July 14th, 2015

Story of My Death - His deliciously eccentric film The Story of My Death (winner of the prestigious Golden Leopard prize at the 2013 Locarno Film Festival) imagines a meeting between the ageing Casanova and Count Dracula to chart the collision between the eighteenth century of Enlightenment, rationalism and libertine sensuality and a nineteenth century founded upon Romanticism, obscurantism and violence. DVD Release Date: June 29th, 2015

Human Capital - Human Capital begins at the end, as a cyclist is run off the road by a careening SUV the night before Christmas Eve. As details emerge of the events leading up to the accident, the lives of the well-to-do Bernaschi family, privileged and detached, will intertwine with the Ossolas, struggling to keep their comfortable middle-class life, in ways neither could have expected. Dino Ossola (Fabrizio Bentivoglio), in dire financial straits, anticipates the birth of twins with his second wife (Valeria Golino). Meanwhile, Dino s teenage daughters relationship with hedge-fund manager Giovanni Bernaschis playboy son complicates an already tricky social dance of status, money and ambition. DVD Release Date: July 7th, 2015

Stop the Pounding Heart - Sara is a young girl raised in a family of goat farmers. Her parents homeschool their twelve children, rigorously following the precepts of the Bible. Like her sisters, Sara is taught to be a devout woman, subservient to men, while keeping her emotional and physical purity intact until marriage. When Sara meets Colby, a young amateur bull rider, she is thrown into crisis, questioning the only way of life she has ever known. In a stunning portrayal of contemporary America and the insular communities that dot its landscape, Stop the Pounding Heart is an exploration of adolescence, family and social values, gender roles, and religion in the rural American South. Minervini s contemplative, inwardly-focused filmmaking method has evoked comparisons to such auteurs as Robert Bresson, Terrence Malick and Carlos Reygadas, while the way he approaches his subjects gives his work an almost ethnographic flavor à la Jean Rouch. DVD Release Date: June 23rd, 2015

Gerontophilia - 18-year-old Lake has a sweet activist girlfriend, but one day discovers he has an unusual attraction for the elderly. Fate conspires to land him a job at a nursing home where he develops a tender relationship with Mr. Peabody. Discovering that the patients are being over-medicated to make them easier to manage, Lake decides to wean Mr. Peabody off this medication and help him escape, resulting in a humorous and heartfelt road trip that strengthens their bond. DVD Release Date: July 7th, 2015
