A good but slightly ineffectual man tries to off himself after an error that really wasn't his fault. In Christmas Carol fashion, his crusty-but-lovable guardian angel shows up to give him a tour of the world without his presence, and it isn't a pretty place. Moral courage, small-town American life, civic cooperation, and family love are glorified; corporate greed and self-involvement are vilified; at the climax, a blanket of snow like spun sugar makes everything pure and clean like redemption itself.

D.H. Lawrence's controversial novel is brought to life by the makers of the soft-core classic EMANUELLE. Sylvia Kristel stars as Lady Constance Chatterly, an English lady whose husband is has been injured in WWI and is now confined to a wheelchair. He is also impotent as a result of his injuries, and consents to his wife's endeavors to find satisfaction elsewhere. Despite her love for her husband, Lady Chatterly's physical desires lead her to engage in a steamy affair with her gruff groundskeeper (Nicholas Clay). An HBO staple in the early 1980s, the film is notable for its surprisingly good acting considering its B-movie status, as well as its beautiful locations and the chemistry between the leads, neither of whom are shy about nudity.

Robert Mulligan's classic adaptation of Harper Lee's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, set in the racially charged atmosphere of Macon County, Alabama in the 1930s, TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD is a poignant coming-of-age story. Winner of four Academy Awards including Best Screenplay (written by Horton Foote), and Best Actor (Gregory Peck), TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD is a timeless film packed with beautiful scenes and meaningful life lessons. The story is told from the vantage point of a young girl nicknamed Scout (Mary Badham) whose widowed white father Atticus Finch (Peck), an attorney, decides on principle to defend a black man (Brock Peters) charged with raping a poor white woman. But the bigoted townspeople would rather lynch the accused than try him, and they make life hellish for the lawyer, his daughter, and his son Jem (Philip Alford). While their father is in the throes of the trial, his bright, inquisitive children learn a hard and unforgettable lesson in justice, morality, and prejudice, part of which requires overcoming an unfounded fear of their mysterious neighbor Boo Radley (Robert Duvall).

| | Bugsy Malone DVD (1976)
One video
$18.59
In this unique mobster movie, Scott Baio heads up a prepubescent cast as the title character, a child gangster determined to rule over New York City. Instead of throwing fists or bullets, the Prohibition-era kiddie mobsters sling confections at one another. When Bugsy learns that a rival gang has developed a secret weapon capable of firing sweets as quick as a machine gun shoots bullets, he sets out to heist the high-tech tart-launcher.
BUGSY MALONE, director Alan Parker's first feature, cleverly spoofs the rich, cliché-ridden history of films about organized crime while lightly mocking the childlike, selfish traits of grown-ups. The engaging silliness is periodically spirited forward by several song-and-dance numbers composed by bubblegum pop maestro Paul Williams.

| | Leo
One film
This dark and eery romantic thriller, set against the barren wasteland of industrial Madrid, stars Iciar Bollain as Leo, a homeless woman struggling to come to terms with her painful past. Leo is a tough loner, a member of Madrid's forgotten underclass, who must struggle to keep herself fed and clothed. While working for a recycling company, disguised as a boy, Leo meets Salva (Javier Batanero), a security guard, who takes pity on the impoverished young woman. But, as Leo and Salva begin an erotic liaison, Leo's past begins to spiral out of control, and Salva is drawn into the mysterious woman's life. The death of her mother prompts Leo to take action against the man who she blames for her mother's demise, Gabo (Valeri Yerlinski). He is a wrestling coach whose complicated past with Leo and her mother is at the core of Leo's painful inability to move on with her life. She is both repulsed and attracted to Gabo, who was once a father figure and lover for the young woman in a revealing and complicated triangle of lust and revenge. In order to begin a new romance with Salva, Leo demands that he help her exorcise the haunting demons of her past. Salva, overwhelmed by his consuming desire for Leo, is willing to do whatever it takes to free her from the haunting realities of her childhood betrayal. Bollain delivers a grim and powerful performance as the tortured woman trapped in her past. LEO is a disturbing glimpse of modern Madrid and it's inhabitants, masterfully executed by acclaimed director José Luis Borau.
This film was screened at American Cinemateque in Los Angeles as part of a festival of contemporary films from Spain.
| | Not Nude Though
One review
NOT NUDE THOUGH, directed by Doris Kornish, is a documentary about the life and work of photographer and filmmaker Rudy Burckhardt, who, as a young man, immigrated to New York from Basel, Switzerland in 1935. He eventually became a prominent figure in the downtown modern art movement of the 1950s and '60s. Burckhardt was most famous for having photographed his contemporaries in portraits, and for having captured the New York cityscape and its architecture on film. Among his collaborators were Jackson Pollock, Alex Katz, Joan Mitchell, Philip Guston, and Willem de Kooning. This film offers a thorough depiction of the artist's unique personality and his history preserving work. Burckhardt passed away in 1999.

$14.39
Subtitled "The Untold Story of the Rise of Genghis Khan," director Sergei Bodrov's sweeping MONGOL focuses on battles physical and emotional as it follows the early ascent of the "Great King" in the 12th and 13th centuries. Born Temudgin to a kingly father, the film introduces the nine-year-old Temudgin (Odnyam Odsuren) making his first fateful decision: going against his father's wishes and choosing the lesser-born Borte as his future wife. When his father is poisoned, Temudgin flees from his father's rivals. Temudgin is saved by a young prince, Jamukha, and the two become blood brothers. That bond of friendship is tested, though, when the grown Temudgin (Tadanobu Asano) wages war--against the Mongol code--to win back the captive Borte. As Temudgin asserts his own power, he must also face Jamukha in all-out battle if he is to secure the safety of his family and his own kingly destiny. Gorgeously shot on location in Kazakhstan and Inner Mongolia, MONGOL represents the first in a proposed trilogy of films that will chronicle the full impact of Genghis Khan's reign. As ambitious in scope as its subject was in life, MONGOL--a 2008 Academy Award nominee for Best Foreign Language Film--offers a unique look at the influence of love and loyalty to the life and times of one of history's most enigmatic rulers.

One movie DVD
From animator Bill Plympton, HAIR HIGH finds its premise in a 1950s Gothic myth about a teen couple killed on their prom night; they return one year later as ghosts who haunt the prom. Part horror zombie movie, part teen romance, HAIR HIGH is anything but average. The animated film finds its humor largely through a clever script and the voices of Justin Long, Martha Plimpton, David Carradine, Michael Showalter, Sarah Silverman, Dermot Mulroney, and more.

| | Repo! The Genetic Opera DVD (2008) Widescreen; Subtitled
One film
$15.05
Begun in 2002 as a Los Angeles stage production by writers Darren Smith and Terrence Zdunich, REPO! THE GENETIC OPERA was designed as a gory, comedic Grand Guignol to appeal more to club goers than fans of musical theater. One fan, aspiring director Darren Lynn Bousman, who has since worked on the SAW franchise, vowed to one day direct a film version of the show. Six years (and five SAW films) later, he has made good on his promise with a bizarre, gory, and unique piece of work that is as sure to entertain as it is to polarize its audience. In the year 2056, following an epidemic of human organ failure, the GeneCo Corporation--owned by the mafia-like Largo family--grows and installs new organs on a massive scale. The business, though, necessitates the employment of repo men to reclaim the organs from clients who miss their payments. Repo man and single father Nathan Wallace (Anthony Head, BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER) keeps his job a secret from his terminally ill daughter, Shilo (Alexa Vega), doing it only to pay for her costly medication. Nathan also has a secret history with GeneCo patriarch Rotti Largo (Paul Sorvino)---and their connection is about to become public knowledge on the night of a concert from popular singer--and GeneCo client--Blind Mag (Sarah Brightman).
Compellingly strange, REPO! resembles a comic book-influenced goth dinner theater production set within a dystopian video game. Musically, the score concentrates more on libretto-like sung dialogue than memorable tunes (save Vega's pop-punk "Sixteen" and Brightman's chilling "Chromaggia"), but the cast appears to be having a blast. Skinny Puppy's Nivek Ogre lends some underground cred as the most twisted member of the Largo clan, but Brightman gives the comically bloody proceedings true legitimacy. A surprising casting choice, she's an almost regal presence, and her goosebump-inducing soprano soars stratospherically above this fun cult film in-the-making.

| | Gonzo: The Life And Work Of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson DVD (2008)
One DVD
$24.39
In GONZO: THE LIFE AND WORK OF DR. HUNTER S. THOMPSON, director Alex Gibney (TAXI TO THE DARK SIDE) creates a portrait of one of journalism's most controversial and talented superstars. Famous in the 1960s for his wild, self-coined "gonzo" style of reporting, Thompson's most famous adventures include riding with the Hell's Angels, chasing the American dream in Las Vegas, and covering the volatile George McGovern political campaign. The fact that Thompson did most of his reporting while throwing back large quantities of Wild Turkey and illegal drugs led to some of the most bizarre and imaginative journalism the writing world had ever seen.
Gibney pieces Thompson's life together using archival footage and recordings and interviews with those closest to him, including his former wives and son, and the artist Ralph Steadman. There are also appearances and commentary from the likes of Rolling Stone founder Jann Wenner, as well as conservative heavyweight Pat Buchanan. Johnny Depp, who played Thompson in the film version of FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS, provides the voice of Thompson, reading excerpts of his writings. The result is an engaging, lively biography that paints a life that was as tragic as it was passion-filled. Thompson's suicide in 2005 officially cemented his place in history as one of literature's wildest, most enigmatic hell-raisers.
