Closed Captioned; Standard Screen; Soundtrack English Based on the Elmore Leonard novel that inspired both the 1969 film and this remake, THE BIG BOUNCE is a comic film noir about an everyman who finds trouble in the form of a beautiful blonde. Jack Ryan (Owen Wilson) is a small-time scam artist who is determined to leave that life behind after yet another run-in with the law. But when he meets the mistress of his former boss, Ray Ritchie (Gary Sinese), all bets are off. Nancy (newcomer Sara Foster) is hot, mischievous, and up to no good, but Jack is too smitten to use his better judgment. It isn't long before he's agreed to help her steal $200,000 from Ray. Along the way, he must contend with a series of potentially shady characters, who might not be what they seem (Morgan Freeman, Charlie Sheen, and Bebe Neuwirth).
Directed with an easygoing approach that fits perfectly with the laid back Hawaiian locales, THE BIG BOUNCE gets an enormous boost from Owen Wilson, who appears to be having the time of his life. This might have something to do with his costar Foster, a former model whose mere presence is enough to make the screen sizzle. The movie also features hilarious supporting turns from Freeman, Neuwirth, and especially Sheen. Theatrical Release Date: January 30, 2004 Big Bounce Reviews: "[The story] brings out the best in after-hours ease of performance, especially from Wilson..."
-- Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly "[A]n unpretentious sexy/comic caper packed with romantic teasing and ka-booming Oahu surf -- this is an in-all-ways-improved yarn about a drifter, an amoral babe and her rich boss…"-- Mike Clark, USA Today "[T]he location is well-visualized."-- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times "Wilson fits the bill as the hangdog-cool thief. Freeman also shows up, against type, in what is clearly the casting coup of the film."

With Supersexy Swingin' Sounds, White Zombie offer a collection of ten remixes of songs from Astro-Creep: 2000, plus a new mix of their cover of KC & the Sunshine Band's "I'm Your Boogie Man" (which was originally on the Crow: City of Angels soundtrack). Not quite as experimental or dance-oriented as they would like to be, White Zombie have always flirted with industrial and disco, but at their core they are a metal band. Granted, they're a metal band that reconfigures the kitschy pleasures of pop culture much in the vein of the Cramps and the B-52's. However, with Supersexy Swingin' Sounds the weaknesses in their approach become clear. ...
| | Castle Of Cagliostro DVD (1979) Widescreen
Big Bounce review
 $10.29
The feature film debut of Hayao Miyazaki (NAUSICAÄ OF THE VALLEY OF THE WIND, PRINCESS MONONOKE), THE CASTLE OF CAGLIOSTRO depicts one adventure of the master thief Lupin and his rough-around-the-edges gunman, Jigen. Something of a cross between Batman, James Bond, and Cary Grant's character in TO CATCH A THIEF, Lupin is a suave ladies' man who is also given to feats of athletic daring, aided by a gadget filled belt that gets him out of more than a few scrapes. The plot has Lupin and Jigen traveling to the sleepy little country of Cagliostro and coming to the aid of the unwilling fiance of the diabolical Count Cagliostro. After CAGLIOSTRO, Miyazaki stopped creating "slapstick" feature films in favor of more serious fare; CAGLIOSTRO shows, however, that he is quite capable of delivering the goods in this genre. Based on the Lupin comics by the artist Monkey Punch, CAGLIOSTRO is a great heist/chase ...

| | My Wife Maurice DVD (2002) Widescreen
Big Bounce DVD
$10.09
In the tradition of French cross-dressing comedies like LA CAGE AUX FOLLES comes MY WIFE MAURICE (MA FEMME...S'APPELLE MAURICE). Director Jean-Marie Poiré (who also made the French comedy THE VISITORS) brings to the film a frantic comedic pace, colorful visuals, and sense of the absurd that has been compared to early Almodovar. When a philanderer's spurned mistress follows him back to Paris to confront him and his wife, the womanizer panics. He manages to convince a humanitarian worker to dress up in drag to shock his angry mistress and scare her away. What he doesn't foresee is that his initial plan cascades into a flood of misunderstandings and comic situations, and he just digs himself a deeper and deeper hole. The famous French comic duo of Régis Laspalès and Philippe Chevaillier star in the film, which has been shown at gay and lesbian film festivals around the world.

Paul Morrissey's second installment of his groundbreaking lowlife trilogy--a nod to the "sex, drugs, and rock-and-roll" credo--stars Joe Dallesandro as Joe, a ragged heroin addict living in a filthy tenement on the Lower East Side of Manhattan with his girlfriend, Holly (Holly Woodlawn). Rendered impotent by his drug use, but driven by his addiction, Joe futilely tries to earn drug money as a hustler. While he scours the streets looking for junk, Holly searches the dumpsters, alleys, and garbage piles of the city looking for trashy treasures. Joe's quest precipitates a series of misadventures, alternately harrowing and humorous, including a single-shot intravenous drug session. There are also several sexual encounters featuring an eclectic cast of characters, including a vivacious Go-Go Dancer (Geri Miller), an LSD-crazed princess (Andrea Feldman), a bored housewife (Jane Forth) and her architect husband (Bruce Pecheur), and Holly's extremely pregnant sister (Diane Podlewski). Unfortunately, none of these episodes are able to reinvigorate Joe's dormant sex drive, and when their searches ultimately prove fruitless, Holly and Joe reconvene and scheme to improve their lot by adopting a baby in order to qualify for welfare. However, despite their dreams, the couple seems doomed ...
