Another summer blockbuster shows up on video this week with the
release of Crimson Tide ***1/2 (Hollywood). Denzel Washington and
Gene Hackman star in this tense and exciting cold war submarine thriller
that pits the seasoned captain against his executive officer over their order
to launch missiles at targets in the former Soviet Union. Crimson Tide
offers first rate performances and is good solid entertainment. (Rated 14A)
Oscar winner Kathy Bates headlines the cast of Dolores Claiborne
***1/2 (Columbia/Tristar), an interesting movie adaptation of the novel
by Stephen King. The plot fords a New York journalist (Jennifer Jason
Leigh) returning to her childhood home when her estranged mother
(Kathy Bates) becomes a murder suspect for the second time in 18 years.
Also interesting is the film's narrative structure which adds much to this
intense and powerful drama. Others in the cast include Christopher
Plummer and David Straitharn. (Rated R)
Among the other new and unpreviewed releases you will find are Free
Willy 2: The Adventure Home (Warner - $24.95 or less), the sequel that
finds the Orcan whale and his family trapped by an offshore oil spill.
(Rated PG)
Paul Winfield stars in White Dwarf (Cabin Fever) a mystical sci-fi
adventure executive produced by Francis Ford Coppola. (Not Rated).
In Death Machine (Malofilm) an executive at a high tech firm finds
herself stalked by a powerful robot that finds its victims by sensing their
fear. (Rated R)
Tom Selleck headlines the cast of Broken Trust (Malofilm), a
psychological thriller about a District Court judge trapped in a
government sting operation. (Unrated)
The folks over at Morningstar Entertainment are offering many of the
works of Ingmar Bergman, one of the movie's greatest directors. Included
in their library are new digitally remastered versions of Summer Interlude,
The Virgin Spring, The Seventh Seal, Wild Strawberries, Cries and
Whispers, Autumn Sonata and The Magic Flute which is regarded by
many as one of the directors' most joyous and beloved films.
For those of you with the high quality laserdisc format here are several
interesting new releases worth checking out. Lumivision has recently
added the IMAX films Titanica, Ring of Fire and Antarctica to its library
and while these beautifully photographed documentary films lack the
impact they generated in their big screen showings, the amazing crystal
clear video transfers are in the CAV format which allows for razor sharp
freeze frames.
Also from Lumivision is the forthcoming laserdisc release of Dead
Ahead the two-hour Greatful Dead Concert film that captures the best of
the group's now historic week-long marathon of shows at New York's
famous Radio City Music Hall.
