Winnie the Pooh – Three-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo + Digital Copy

On August 9, 2011, in Movies, DVDs, Blu-ray, by Editor

Author A.A. Milne’s beloved bear, Winnie the Pooh, joins forces with his friends from the Hundred Acre Wood to help two of their own in Disney’s hand-drawn charmer. Though he describes himself as a “bear of very little brain,” Pooh (Jim Cummings) proves he’s all heart when sad-sack Eeyore’s tail goes missing and a terrible creature called the “Backson” abducts Christopher Robin (Jack Boulter), their human protector (the schoolboy actually leaves a note saying he will be “back soon”).

On Blu-ray: A Clockwork Orange (Anniversary Edition) by Stanley Kubrick

On June 23, 2011, in Movies, DVDs, Blu-ray, by Editor

Stomping, whomping, stealing, singing, tap-dancing, violating. Hooligan Alex (Malcolm McDowell) has a good time – at the tragic expense of others. His journey from amoral punk to brainwashed proper citizen and back again forms the dynamic arc of Stanley Kubrick’s future-shock vision of Anthony Burgess’ novel. Controversial when first released, A Clockwork Orange won New York Film Critics Best Picture and Director Awards and earned four Oscar nominations, including Best Picture. Its power still entices, shocks and holds us in its grasp.

On Blu-ray: Blow Out (The Criterion Collection) (1981) with John Travolta and Nancy Allen

On April 28, 2011, in Movies, DVDs, Blu-ray, by Editor

In the enthralling Blow Out, brilliantly crafted by Brian De Palma (Sisters, Carrie, Scarface), John Travolta (Saturday Night Fever, Pulp Fiction) gives one of his greatest performances, as Jack, a movie sound-effects man who believes he has accidentally recorded a political assassination. He enlists the help of Sally (played by Carrie’s Nancy Allen), a possible eyewitness to the crime who may be in danger herself, to uncover the truth. With its jolting stylistic flourishes, intricate plot, profoundly felt characterizations, and gritty evocation of early-1980s Philadelphia, Blow Out is an American paranoia thriller unlike any other, as well as a devilish reflection on the act of moviemaking.

American Tune by Paul Simon

On July 29, 2010, in It's all about music..., by Editor

Call me a purist, but I do enjoy the simple beauty of a gifted musician accompanied only by his favorite instrument. Give Elton John a piano, and let him play alone. Give Paul Simon his guitar, and experience his songs’ natural beauty (unless he sings Bridge Over Troubled Water, which he should never sing himself. Period. No discussion.).
