And Everything Is Going Fine (2010) DVD9 and Blu-Ray Criterion Collection

And Everything Is Going Fine 2010
Spalding Gray left this Earth in January of 2004, after struggling for several years following a horrific car accident in Ireland. We see the effects of that accident at the tail end of And Everything is Going Fine, Steven Soderbergh's documentary tribute to the actor and writer. He is clearly in pain, and he no longer looks himself. It's a sad finish for a man who otherwise pulled wit and wisdom out of what he termed the great accident of life.

Gray was a struggling actor until his one-man monologues started getting notice in the 1980s. His watershed moment was Swimming to Cambodia, a stage show based on his experience filming The Killing Fields. Gray developed his own kind of theatre--just himself and a desk and a microphone, talking about his life.

In deference to Gray's fabled eloquence and remarkable genius for introspection and rigorous self-examination, Steven Soderbergh, who collaborated with his subject on the performance film Gray's Anatomy, turns And Everything Is Going Fine into what's essentially a one-man show. Soderbergh follows Gray's alternately sad and hilarious life story through performance footage, home movies, and clips of Gray being interviewed on everything from The Charlie Rose Show to MTV and E!

Father’s Day (2011) Blu-Ray + 2xDVD + CD 4 Disc Limited Edition

Father's Day 2011
The story is set in Tromaville where a deranged lunatic named Fuchman (Mackenzie Murdock) is running around raping and killing fathers, occasionally eating their genitals as well. When a teenage male prostitute named Twink (Conor Sweeney) finds out that his own father (Billy Sadoo) has been added to the list of Fuchman's victims, he sets out for revenge. He knows he won't be able to go this alone, however, so he teams up with a Roman Catholic priest named Father Sullivan (Matthew Kennedy) to convince a one eyed man named Ahab (Adam Brooks), the toughest of the tough in Tromaville, to join their cause.

It takes some convincing but soon enough, Twink and Sullivan have talked Ahab into helping them out and added Ahab's sister, a stripped named Chelsea (Amy Groening), to their ranks. As they work together to scour the streets in order to find the killer, they realize that this won't be as easy as they had hoped…

This is not a movie for the squeamish. There's multiple scenes of male rape, tons of male nudity (some of it comical, though there's also plenty of female nudity to go with it), graphic gore and even genital mutilation. In spite of all that, this is actually a comedy that serves as both a homage and a satire of exploitation films.

Bergerac (1981–1991) 27 x DVD9 The Complete Collection

Bergerac (1981–1991) 27 x DVD9 The Complete Collection
Jim Bergerac (John Nettles) is a recovering alcoholic, divorcee and father of a young daughter. He is a detective sergeant with the Bureau des Etrangers, a department for non-residents in Jersey, Channel Islands. Jim likes doing things his own way, a true maverick, and consequently doesn't always carry out his investigations in the traditional manner, the way his boss, Barney Crozier, would have preferred. But Jim's winsome grin and chirpy optimism always win through, and in a way he still manages to remain on fairly good terms with Crozier despite their differences. Jim gets his fair share of women during the series, but more than anything else he is married to his job, which becomes increasingly difficult for some of them. In the later series Bergerac leaves the police to become a private investigator.

Handsome, blue-eyed and brooding, maverick cop Detective Sergeant Jim Bergerac of Jersey's Bureau des Etrangers is one of television's most popular detectives.
Moving with the power of Bergerac's vintage red Triumph Roadster sports car, each episode guarantees full-throttle excitement, ingenious plots and colourful characters as Bergerac patrols the harbour cafes, cliff-top mansions and secluded coves on the trail of the villains, murderers, spies and smugglers of the holiday island and tax haven.

Neurot Recordings I Bonus DVD (2004) DVD5

Neurot Recordings I 2004
Neurot Recordings is more than a record label - it is the mouthpiece for a community that redefines the concept of "heavy" music. It is a conduit for like-minded experimental artists whose only common goal may be to create sounds that challenge the mind while expressing true passion and soul. It isn't a label concerned with a niche sound or releasing recordings based on their commercial potential.

Neurot Recordings began in 1999 as a means to collect the varied Neurosis-related projects - such as Tribes of Neurot, Blood & Time and the solo endeavors of guitarist/vocalists Steve Von Till and Scott Kelly. The label quickly grew to encompass a wide variety of innovative and important artists. Each of these affiliated artists explore the boundaries of music in their own way, combining and refining sounds, be they psychedelic, ambient, melodic, avant-noise, folk, bludgeoning rock or any combination thereof.

This compilation offers a wealth of both audio and video content for the Neurot Recordings fan.

Multiple Maniacs (1970) Blu-Ray Criterion Collection

Multiple Maniacs 1970 Criterion Collection
Multiple Maniacs remains one of the most provocative, outright filthy, plain insane and unabashedly disgusting movies ever made. It is also John Waters's most complex film, dealing with sexual and religious taboos in the most graphic and contentious way conceivable. Despite the extremely brazen, impudent and overtly trashy tone, Multiple Maniacs is an intellectual piece and also a harsh criticism of American society, and it remains ever so politically and socially relevant nearly five decades later.

The film follows the escapades of the sideshow 'Lady Divine's Cavalcade of Perversions', which invites audiences to look upon various 'perverse' acts. The audience is eventually robbed by the 'perverse' performers, as the troupe go on to their next group of targets. Divine leads the troupe with her boyfriend Mr. David, and their contentious relationship drives the remainder of the story.

Judex (1963) 2 x DVD9 and Blu-Ray Criterion Collection


Georges Franju's Judex is an arch, playful tribute to the serials of the influential silent filmmaker Louis Feuillade. Franju shuffles through the plot of Feuillade's lengthy serial of the same name, about an adventurer named Judex (Channing Pollock) whose revenge against the corrupt banker Favraux (Michel Vitold) unleashes a complicated series of schemes. The film is defined by its complex twists and turns, its melodramatic indulgences: a wronged father (Rene Genin) who's searching for his missing son; the fiendish femme fatale Marie Verdier (Francine Berge) who faces off against Judex; the plots centering around Jacqueline (Edith Scob), the daughter of Favraux; the incompetent detective Cocantin (Max Montavon), who seems more comfortable as a babysitter than an investigator. The film opens with Favraux being blackmailed by Judex, who threatens to expose the banker's many crimes if he doesn't give his ill-gained fortune back to his victims.

Breaking the Waves (1996) 2 x DVD9 and Blu-Ray Criterion Collection

Breaking the Waves 1996 Criterion CollectionGreat movies shake you up. They make demands on you, challenge your beliefs, force you to look at things through another person's eyes. "Breaking The Waves," the first English-language film from Danish director Lars von Trier, is transcendent filmmaking. Using a tragic love story as his framework, Von Trier takes an unflinching look at the chasm between the rational and the spiritual sides of our lives. A haunting, brutal fairy tale, this masterfully detailed character study is uncompromising and emotionally exhausting. It's a great movie.

Set in the early 70's, the North Sea oil boom brings outsiders to a remote Scottish community on the Isle Of Skye. Bess, a "simple-minded" local, meets and falls in love with Jan, a Norwegian oil-rigger. Their impending marriage disturbs the religious community, a group of Calvinists whose severe fundamentalism makes the Amish seem like anarcists by comparison. Bess' determination wins out, though, and life with her new husband becomes a blissful journey of personal and sexual discovery for the naive young woman.
Eventually, Jan has to return to the rigs, leaving a devastated Bess begging God to bring her husband home. When an industrial accident sends Jan back, paralyzed from the neck down, Bess is convinced the disaster was caused by her prayers. She stays by her husband's side, acutely depressed and desperate to atone. Then, under the influence of drugs and despair, Jan makes an startling request of his wife that sends her spinning madly on a frenzied and shocking quest of self-sacrifice in the name of love.

Be name pedar / Bi nam-i pidar / Sins of the Father / In the Name of the Father (2006) 2 x DVD5 The Collection of Ebrahim Hatamikia

In the Name of the Father 2006
A college student is on a archeology expedition when she steps on a mine. Her father rushes to the hospital, a war veteran, and in a perfect example of irony, it is the same mine the father had placed a decade or so back to stop the Iraqis from attacking. The hill which the mine had been placed was supposed to have been cleared, but this one mine was missed.

And the characters are thrown in a story of pain. The father's guilt, the guilt of the friend who was responsible for clearing the mines, the girl who might lose her leg, the mother who has to carry the burdens of the family, and the boy who wants to marry the girl. The shadow of Iran's war looms all over them. A war that the world does not seem to fully appreciate. Iran faced Iraq and the world for eight years. Over one million Iranians died. This is the dark memory that exists in each Iranian, whether they know it or not. And like the college girl, who had nothing to do with the war, mines lie under each of our feet.

Eclipse Series 32 Pearls of the Czech New Wave
The political situation in the Czechoslovakia in the '60s was to some extent a boon to local filmmakers, since they had ready access to resources (with no producers to woo), and an endless source of inspiration in the pervasive bureaucratic madness. The Czech films in the years leading up to the late-'60s' "Prague spring" are at once satirical and celebratory, embracing the nation's Bohemian roots and dark sense of humor, while also acknowledging the hellishness of the system. But these films didn't escape censorship entirely; many were banned almost as soon as they were made. The movement toward a more expressive, low-to-the-ground cinema came later to Czechoslovakia than it did to other European countries, but it's a miracle that artists facing such scrutiny were ever able to produce work as varied and innovative as the six features in Eclipse's remarkable, essential Pearls Of The Czech New Wave box set.

Canoa: Denuncia de un hecho vergonzoso / Canoa: A Shameful Memory (1976) DVD9 and Blu-Ray Criterion Collection

Canoa: A Shameful Memory 1976 Criterion Collection
One of Mexico's most highly regarded works of political cinema, Canoa: A Shameful Memory reimagines a real-life incident that had occurred just eight years before its release.

On September 14, 1968, five employees from the University of Puebla arrived in San Miguel Canoa to climb The Malinche, an easy mountain that would help them hone their backpacking skills. Delayed in arriving and soaked by an unexpected rain, the boys sought refuge in the local church. Unfortunately for them, the priest, was a rabid anti-Communist who kept his flock in a heightened state of paranoia, convincing them that "atheists, enemies of God and of our Holy Church" were out not only to get him personally but to steal their children and take away their religion. When the boys tell the villagers they are "from the University", it is assumed they are students, radicals, and in Canoa to raise the strike flag.

Prismatic Music – The Super 8 Films Of Joseph Bernard (2015) Blu-Ray

Prismatic Music - The Super 8 Films Of Joseph BernardIn the decade spanning 1975 to 1985, visual artist Joseph Bernard completed more than 100 films in Super 8mm. Frustrated by a lack of funds, materials, and attention, he withdrew from filmmaking and, ultimately, public art production entirely, though he remained on the faculty at Detroit's College for Creative Studies, retiring in 2007 as Professor Emeritus. American experimental cinema is considerably poorer for both the brevity and obscurity of his career. Happily, the latter of these issues might now be rectified thanks to the Blu-ray release of Prismatic Music, a collection of 40 of Bernard's films.

Prismatic music is an astonishing Blu-Ray release of 40 Super 8 films by Detroit filmmaker Joseph Bernard. Bernard, a protege of Stan Brakhage, went from painting to film to painting again over the course of 40 years. These films cover the period of 1975-85 in Detroit, Provincetown and Chicago, and now reside in The Academy Of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Collection. Transferred from original film source material in 2K at the prestigious Cinelicious Hollywood, this project offers 6 hours of film.

Too rarely screened, Bernard's work offers a rich contribution to traditions of formalist and experimental filmmaking, often described in terms of—but never reducible to—rhythm, color, abstract expressionism, photography, documentary, self-portraiture, and collage.

Chilly Scenes of Winter / Head Over Heels (1979) Blu-Ray Twilight Time

Chilly Scenes of Winter 1979
Charles is a young man carrying a heavy load of problems and confusions. He's hopelessly in love with Laura, a woman who's recently separated from her husband and stepdaughter. He works as a "reports analyst" for the state of Utah, a boring and unfulfilling job. And his family is a teeter totter of excessive individuals: a crazy mother who repeatedly threatens or attempts suicide and a sister who's so straight that her spirit stands at right angles.
How does Charles cope? He uses laughter as a way of surviving. He and his friend Sam, a Ph.D. who clerks at a men's clothing store, are wiseacres par excellence. Perhaps that is what endears him to Laura. However, when he puts her on a pedestal, she flees the relationship. Charles builds a dollhouse to match her A-frame house and wonders why she is incapable of seeing that he loves her and has to be with her.

They're rich, good looking and in love. American heiress Deborah (Carroll Baker) and her Italian husband Marcel (Jean Sorel) are on honeymoon in Geneva. At a restaurant Marcel happens to see an old friend, Philip (Luigi Pistilli) who proves strangely hostile. He informs Marcel that Suzanne is dead. Who is that?

The Essential Jacques Demy Criterion Collection
For many years, when people would think about the French New Wave film movement that revolutionized the world of cinema in the late 1950s, their thoughts would drift to the most famous names — Godard, Truffaut, Rivette, Chabrol, Resnais and others. One name that rarely came up in the conversation, however, was that of Jacques Demy. Even though he was making films during that time and achieved some degree of international success, many observers considered his contributions to be either too tangential or too dependent on Hollywood traditions and his own self-created cinematic universe to fully embrace the formal radicalism of the movement. In fact, when he was discussed as part of the New Wave, it was often because of his marriage to Agnes Varda, a filmmaker whose work was more firmly entrenched as part of the approach, and that semi-snubbing continued until he passed away in 1990 at the age of 59.

In the years since his passing, however, there has been a gradual reappraisal of Demy's cinematic legacy, spurred on in no small part by the efforts of Varda, who has helped to keep the flame alive by supervising restorations and reissues of his films as well as directing both "Jacquot de Nantes," a 1991 biopic focused on his early years, and the 1995 documentary "The World of Jacques Demy." Now The Criterion Collection has gotten into the act with "The Essential Jacques Demy," a mammoth box set that includes restored versions of six of his best-known features — "Lola" (1961), "Bay of Angels" (1963), "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg" (1964), "The Young Girls of Rochefort" (1967), "Donkey Skin" (1970) and "Une Chambre En Ville" (1982) — a slew of extras spanning the length of his career, including shorts, documentaries and archival interviews with Demy and many of his key collaborators. The end result is one of the major home video releases of the year and a project that should finally restore Demy's place as one of the leading lights of the New Wave.

La mort de Louis XIV / The Death of Louis XIV (2016) DVD9

La mort de Louis XIV 2016
A monarch's devotion to duty and service endures until the last breath in The Death Of Louis XIV, a painstakingly realised portrait of the agonising final days of the Sun King. Based on extensive medical records and the memoirs of the Duke of Saint-Simon and other courtiers, Catalan director Albert Serra's film has a documentary-like authenticity, matching the unblinking instincts of a modern reality television series with the visual allure of the old masters.

Crowned King in 1643, Louis's reign is the longest of any European monarch. The film begins in 1715 as the aged King suffers horrible pains in his left leg and is confined to bed. Royal obligations continue, but gangrene sets in and the leg turns black. It becomes apparent that the situation is hopeless and that the King must prepare for death...

Manuel Artiguez (Peck) is an expatriate rebel leader from the Spanish Civil War living in France. A young orphan named Paco (Italian star Marietto Angeletti, Angel in a Taxi) seeks him out to beg him to return to his country and kill the man who murdered the boy's father (an old comrade of Artiguez). The murderous villain is Chief Vinolas (Quinn), the head of the oppressive police. At first Artiguez is reluctant to go, but when he learns his mother is dying in a hospital he decides to make the arduous trek to see her one last time. Vinolas sees an opportunity to set a trap for the rebel, and quickly sends an informer (Italian star Raymond Pellegrin) to feed him false information that the coast is clear and his mother is waiting. Omar Sharif plays a priest who knows the truth about the trap, and the mother has already passed away. He goes to great lengths to warn Artiguez of what is waiting for him. Artiguez decides he should go anyway, even if it could very well be suicide to walk into Vinolas's trap. But a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.
