Among this week's new releases are numerous films and programs well
worth checking out. Leading the list is Corrina, Corrina *** 1/2
(Alliance), a fine drama set in the 1950s and centering on a maid (Whoopi
Goldberg) who brings laughter and love to a widower (Ray Liotta) and his
withdrawn daughter.
Corrina, Corrina also features a fine supporting cast that includes Joan
Cusack and the late Don Ameche. (Rated PG)
Lakota Woman: Siege at Wounded Knee ***1/2 (Turner/Malofilm) is
part of Turner Broadcasting's company-wide initiative, The Native
Americans, Behind the Legends and Beyond the Myths. This poignant
film, based on the best-selling autobiography by Mary Crow Dog
dramatizes a young woman's coming of age during the controversial and
violent occupation of Wounded Knee, South Dakota by Native Americans
in 1973. (Originally made for television - Unrated)
Also available, to coincide with the release of Lakota Woman is the six
episode program The Native Americans **** (Tumer/Malofilm) which
presents tile history of more than 500 tribes of Native Americans that
existed for centuries prior to European contact. Outstanding!
Barcelona *** (Alliance) is director Wilt Sillman's first feature film
since the critically acclaimed Metropolitan a few years back. The witty
film follows the adventures of two rather obnoxious American cousins as
they try to grapple with life and a bevy of beautiful women in Spain
during the 1980s. (Rated PG-13)
The one movie to avoid this week is Calendar * (Alliance) another dull
and pretentious film from Canadian director Atom Egoyan. The plot
centres on a photographer whose wife falls in love with their translator
during a photo shoot in the Armenian countryside. Yawn! (Rated PG)
While the major video labels command most of the marketplace, a few
smaller companies busily continue to turn out first rate tapes and
laserdiscs. Lumivision Corporation is a laserdisc company which
continues to offer rare restored film classics plus specialty programs and
releases from the 1MAX film library. One of their latest releases is The
Brave One ****, an all but forgotten movie from 1956 which tells the
story of a Mexican peasant boy and his love for a prized bull who is
destined for the arena. This beautifully photographed and highly enjoyable
film won an Oscar for best original story which was credited to one
Robert Rich, a pseudonym for Dalton Trumbo who had been blacklisted in
1947 at the hands of Communist witchhunters. Trumbo's Oscar went
unclaimed until the Academy finally presented it to him in 1975.
Lumivision's widescreen restoration of The Brave One is from a stunning
35mm technicolor cinemascope print with Victor Young's memorable
score, along with the entire stereo soundtrack being given-special care.
Highly Recommended!
Other new and unpreviewed releases you'll find at your local video store
include Andre (Paramount) the story of a seal who adopts a human family.
(Rated PG)
Dream a Little Dream (Columbia/Tristar) is an alleged comedy about
magic sunglasses. (Rated PG-13)
Finally, Virginia Madsen stars in Blue Tiger (Columbia/Tristar), a
thriller about a woman who seeks revenge against the men who killed her
young son. (Rated R)
