DVD Playhouse—June 2009
By
Allen Gardner
The International (Sony) An Interpol agent (Clive Owen) joins forces with a Manhattan D.A. (Naomi Watts) to bring down an arms dealing ring and a corrupt global banking cartel that’s funding them. Superlative thriller was oddly ignored by critics and audiences alike, but expertly blends intelligence (courtesy screenwriter Eric Warren Singer’s masterfully-crafted script) and full-throttle action (director Tom Tykwer stages one of the great film shoot-outs in New York’s iconic Guggenheim Museum), making this dynamite thriller reminiscent of the best work from masters such as John Frankenheimer and Robert Aldrich. Armin Mueller-Stahl is wonderful as a world-weary covert op. Bonuses: Extended scene; Featurettes; Trailer. Widescreen. Dolby 5.1 surround.
The Jack Lemmon Film Collection(Sony) Five films from the two-time Oscar winning actor, focusing on his early career: Phfft! is a zippy comedy from 1954, one of Lemmon’s earliest films, in which

Unfortunately, Thorndike only wanted to see if it was possible so instead of ending one of history.s greatest madmen, we only hear a

“Nazis. I hate these guys.”: 15 WWII Movies Worth Watching Before You See Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds.

Who knew that the Nazis -- one of the most brutal regimes in the history of brutal regimes -- would be responsible for such fun, mind-blowingly awesome entertainment? The second I see a dude in a grey German uniform and an eye patch enter the frame, I’m like ‘Whoa. That Nazi is going to provide me a great amount of entertainment this evening’. So, with Inglorious Bastards having recently premiered at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival, I figured I'd put together a list of some awesome WW2 films as a resource for anyone wanting to beef up their WW2 film knowledge before checking out Tarantino's self-proclaimed 'masterpiece'. It's worth noting that I focused on older films -- pre-1980 for the most part -- and only the stories featuring Nazi's. It was tough to cut this down to 15 films, but I'm sure you all will be able to come up with

Monday Night Poll: What Did You Watch?

We're four weeks into 2009's summer movie season. X-Men Origins: Wolverine got things off to a soggy start and was eclipsed by Star Trek as a popular favorite. Not many were impressed by Angels & Demons (though it did big business overseas), leading into this long weekend with Terminator Salvation and Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian doing battle (and a little Dance Flick on the side).
So what are your general impressions so far? I was disappointed by Wolverine and loved Star Trek. My ambitious weekend viewing plans began with a viewing of Terminator Salvation, which satisfied the 12-year-old boy in me, but left the adult me sorely hungry for more substantial entertainment. So I watched two DVDs that came out last Tuesday. Fritz Lang's Man Hunt (1941) stars Walter Pidgeon as a British big game hunter whose "sporting stalk" of Hitler ends up with the hunter becoming the hunted.

[DVD Review] Man Hunt

Upon viewing Man Hunt, it becomes nearly impossible to not wonder what kind of director Fritz Lang might have become had he not fled Nazi Germany. Apparently not understanding the subtext of M and Metropolis, the Third Reich government offered him the chance to direct propaganda films for them based on the strength of those two films, which are still by and large considered to be Lang’s best; instead, he left the country that very day, making a quick stop in France before making Hollywood films for the rest of his life, none of which ever achieved the legacy that his German films did. Certainly, living in Nazi Germany is more than we could ever really ask from an artist, but it’s a sure bet that whatever he would have made, it would have been a whole lot more interesting than Man Hunt.
The film opens in the

A decent assortment of new DVDs in stores this week, from My Bloody Valentine 3-D to the early surprise hit of the year, Paul Blart: Mall Cop (err... you'll have to look past those ones to get to the good stuff). The Tom Cruise Nazi thriller Valkyrie is in stores today, and might make a good double bill with Fritz Lang's 1941 film Man Hunt which is hitting DVD for the first time. Then there's Howard McCain's viking vs alien epic Outlander, which might make a good double bill with The Asylum's direct-to-video monster battle Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus! The Star Wars comedy Fanboys is finally out on DVD (in the U.S. at least), along with the first season of True Blood and the seventh season of 24. See anything worth picking up?
