Standard Screen; English Subtitles; Dolby Digital 5.1 Re Japanese director Kenji Sonoda lends a youthful, sociopolitical spin to the wellworn yakuza genre with a hardhitting action film based on Kunio Hikita's bestselling novel KYOUKI NO SAKURA (roughly translated as MADNESS IN BLOOM). Kickboxer Yosuke Kubozuka stars as Yamaguchi Susumu, leader of a teenage street gang bent on fighting local crime through vigilante justice and a fierce devotion to traditional Japanese values. Yamaguchi's brand of ultraviolent nationalism earns the respect of likeminded yakuza boss Aota Shuzo (Yoshio Harada), who takes the youngster under his tutelage and showers him with the wealth and privilege endemic to the gangster lifestyle--but which often exacts a deadly price. Fueled by a throbbing soundtrack, nonstop action, and a visual style reminiscent of Stanley Kubrick's A CLOCKWORK ORANGE, KYOUKI NO SAKURA shares that movie's critique of both social decay and reactionary rebellion.
This is the only Kenji Sonoda video.

The videotaped will of deceased billionaire Red Stevens (James Garner) includes the "ultimate gift" for his spoiled, sullen grandson Jason (Drew Fuller). A series of tasks meant to turn Jason from a hedonistic jerk into a compassionate human being is included in the will, but whether that's the gift or there's a fortune at the end of the rainbow is something Jason will just have to wait to find out. First, he's sent to Texas to work on the ranch of one of Red's old pals (Brian Dennehey). Then his trust fund is cut off and he's thrown into the streets where he battles a bum for a park bench and eventually makes friends with a young girl--dying of leukemia--named Emily (Abigail Breslin). There's some romantic bonding with Emily's struggling mom (Ali Hills) and danger down in Costa Rica, where Jason winds up hostage to some drug-running thugs. Bill Cobbs and Lee Meriwether are the lawyers who monitor Jason's progress.
This is a nice little movie, with a straightforward spiritual agenda. But it gets everything right, with minimum sermonizing and maximum heart. The cast is clearly into the spirit of the matter: Abigail Breslin (LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE) radiates oddball charm, and the eyes of old pros Garner, Denehey, Meriwether, and Cobbs are alight ...

In this powerful semi-autobiographical film, acclaimed Spanish director Pedro Almodovar (ALL ABOUT MY MOTHER, TALK TO HER) tracks the formative experiences of his coming of age in a Catholic boys school. While the film benefits from Almodovar's limitless range of color, beauty, and moving expression, the themes presented are dark and difficult. Pedophilia, lost love, mistaken identity, manipulation, drug addiction, and desperation prevail, giving this otherwise sexy and vibrant film a chilling subtext.
Gael Garcia Bernal gives a jaw-dropping performance, playing two of the main characters. First, he plays a screenwriter named Ignacio, who reunites with his childhood friend, Enrique (Fele Martinez), a filmmaker, to sell him a script called "The Visit." He also plays the star of "The Visit"--a gorgeous cross-dresser and drug addict named Zahara. Enrique instantly realizes that the script is the story ...

However, a mysterious sect of German soldiers have followed Yutaro to Japan, bringing with them skills such as medieval-style melee combat and fighting from horseback. An immediate threat to the nation's safety and stability, Kenshin and Yutaro must prevent them from gaining a foothold ...

ECCO: George Sanders's documentary provides a lurid tour of the world. Material includes a look at the last performance of the Paris Grand Guignol, a human pincushion, and Swedes watching as a couple has sex. Though not completely explicit, this program is too mature for kids.
From the people behind MONDO FREUDO and MONDO BIZARRO comes THE FORBIDDEN, a freakish collage of mermaids, Nazis, and Swiss lesbians.

ILLEGAL: A mob boss leans on a former D.A. (played by Edward G. Robinson) to help out his colleague--who faces a murder charge--in this pulsating film noir. Robinson's character is already in bad shape after executing an innocent man and quitting his job, and involvement with the mob may just be enough to send him over the edge.
THE BIG STEAL: A typically laconic Robert Mitchum stars as Lieutenant Duke Halliday in this terse, efficient noir. Framed for the theft of an army payroll, he takes off on a chase from Vera Cruz into the heart of Mexico after the real thief, Jim Fiske (Patrick Knowles), in an effort to clear himself. Joining ...
