Trailer Trauma (2016) Blu-Ray

Trailer Trauma 2016
Why bother whiling away an afternoon watching one or two grindhouse flicks when, in the space of a couple hours and change, you can gawk at hordes of flesh-eating mummies, a gaggle of Santa Clauses getting savagely butchered, a bunch of mobsters skewered by a power drill, undead kids who can melt their parents with a touch, a horned demon rocking a pair of sais, and a cyborg warrior on tank treads? Where else can you see Mr. T, Jean Seberg, Klaus Kinski, James Mason, Jean Claude Van Damme, Smokey Robinson, Harvey Keitel, and Edwige Fenech brought together for the first time? TRAILER TRAUMA delivers all the gruesome, sticky, sleazy, and unrepentantly batshit insane highlights from dozens of drive-in flicks.

There are other movie preview compilation discs out there, but only TRAILER TRAUMA contains the ultra-rare titles that you absolutely will not find anywhere else. Prepare yourselves, connoisseurs of cult cinema: TRAILER TRAUMA is going to hurt... but it hurts so good!

Science Is Fiction: 23 Films by Jean Painleve (1928-1960) 3 x DVD9 Criterion Collection

Science Is Fiction 23 Films by Jean Painleve
Jean Painleve was a film director, critic, theorist, and animator, yet his interests and studies also extended to mathematics, medicine, and zoology. Amazingly, all these disparate strands came together in a groundbreaking, decades-spanning artistic career. Operating under the credo: Science is fiction, Painleve forged his own unique cinematic path, creating countless short films for both the viewing public and the scientific community. Moreover, he was also one of the first filmmakers to take his camera underwater. Surreal, otherworldly documents of marine life, these films transformed sea horses, octopi, and mollusks into delicate dancers in their own floating ballets.

3xDVD9 | NTSC 4:3 | 313 minutes | 22.1 Gb + 3% rec
Language: Francais
Subtitles: English
Genre: Documentary, Short

The three-disc Criterion DVD set Science Is Fiction: 23 Films By Jean Painleve contains a 90-minute program of assorted Painleve footage backed by a Yo La Tengo live performance, along with a three-hour documentary about Painleve and the 23 unadulterated films cited in the title. It's those originals that are the set's real selling-point.

The Magnificent Ambersons (1942) 2xDVD9 and Blu-Ray Criterion Collection

The Magnificent Ambersons 1942
The Magnificent Ambersons is based on Booth Tarkington's Pulitzer Prize–winning 1918 novel of the same name. It tells the story of the downfall of the titular upper-class family. Isabel Amberson (Dolores Costello) is being courted by inventor Eugene Morgan (Joseph Cotten) but an embarrassing incident turns Isabel away into the arms of stick-in-the-mud Wilbur Minafer, who she soon marries.

Jumping forward a number of years, the now widower Eugene comes back to town and attends a party put on by the Ambersons where he meets Isabel's spoiled son George (Tim Holt), who is approaching adulthood and instantly falls for Eugene's daughter Lucy (Anne Baxter). She finds George's arrogance strangely endearing and the two begin a hesitant relationship, but all the while George becomes increasingly unhappy with the attention Eugene is giving his mother, particularly after his father dies. Indeed, Eugene and Isabel begin to rekindle their old flame, much to George's anger.

The insolent young man does his best to intervene over the years, but, in the meantime, the Amberson family stock begins to decline whilst the Morgan family fortunes rapidly increase as the industrialisation of the town (and country) develops.

The Phantom of the Opera (1925, 1929) 2 x Blu-Ray Kino Lorber

The Phantom of the Opera 1925
Lon Chaney, the man of a thousand faces, stars in this original film adaptation of Gaston Leyroux's celebrated novel The Phantom of the Opera. From his home in the catacombs beneath the Paris Opera House, the disfigured Phantom haunts the operagoers and becomes legend. When the Phantom falls in love with the beautiful young singer Christine Daae (Mary Philbin) whom he trains from afar before finally building the courage to approach her, he takes her down to his world below the opera house and professes his love. But upon seeing his face, she rebuffs him, afraid of what he is, and the Phantom sends her back to the world above, warning her she must keep singing, but to stay away from her lover Raoul de Chagny (Norman Kerry), which she fails to do. It leads to tragic consequences.

This edition presents the 1929 theatrical version, restored from archival 35mm elements. The film is presented at two different historically-accurate projection speeds, each with two different soundtrack options. Also included is the 1925 theatrical version, which survives only in poor-quality prints, but contains scenes that were removed from the 1929 release version.

Directors: Rupert Julian, Lon Chaney, Ernst Laemmle, Edward Sedgwick
Cast: Lon Chaney, Mary Philbin, Norman Kerry
Country: USA
Genre: Horror

Il gattopardo / The Leopard (1963) 3 x DVD9 and 2 x Blu-Ray Criterion Collection

Il gattopardo / The Leopard (1963) Criterion Collection
To best appreciate The Leopard, it is important to understand the political undercurrents of the film. Italy, circa 1859, was a fragmented collection of independent states, each controlled by different ruling interests. The Papal states resided in central Italy. Towards the south, King Ferdinand II ruled over the Bourbon states of Naples and Sicily. The Savoy States were ruled by Victor Emmanuel. Austria, after the Napoleonic Wars, had seized control of Northern Italy.

The film takes place during the heart of the Italian Risorgimento, a time of nineteenth-century social upheaval in which the Italian states rebelled against the existing aristocratic order to form a unified and democratic Italy. Burt Lancaster plays Don Fabrizio, the proud yet aging Prince of Salina, emblematic of the old society and yet fully aware that his way-of-life is slowly fading into oblivion. Garibaldi, who is attempting to unite all of Italy into one nation, has landed in Sicily, and even his adored nephew, Tancredi (Alain Delon), who he has fancied to be his successor, has joined his army. The film follows events in the lives of the Prince of Salina and his family.

Director: Luchino Visconti
Cast: Burt Lancaster, Alain Delon, Claudia Cardinale, Terence Hill
Country: Italy, France
Genre: Drama, History
