Joe Collins, an inmate of Westgate prison, schemes with a group of convicts to breakout. He's intent on reaching his love, who does not know he's in prison but will not have a lifesaving operation until he's at her side. The escape plan goes awry when Capt. Munsey, the prison guard and Joe's enemy, gets a tip-off and greets them in a machine-gun shoot out.

Brute Force Reviews:

Rating: B -- Troy Patterson, Entertainment Weekly

"...[Hume Cronyn's] most memorable screen role..." -- 3 1/2 out of 4 stars -- Mike Clark, USA Today

"It's a stark, nihilistic anti-fascist allegory built around the repellent figure of Hume Cronyn's slipper, sadistic warden and the young Burt Lancaster's anguished grace."-- Tom Charity, Sight and Sound

This is the only Anita Colby video.

CD $8.85  4.2 stars Top 500 Audio Samples Definitive Album
The title track is an almost spooky exercise in synth/sequencer tension and dynamics: while eerie atmospheres of Mellotron go head to head with spiraling Moogs, dense, humming sequencer webs percolate along the surface, motile and mobile. The album's closer, "Sequent C," leaves the listener breathless, as black electronic clouds form and dissipate and the surrounding space becomes corporeal sound. PHAEDRA remains one of the seminal recordings of the ...

Sun Ra & His Astro Infinity Arkestra: Sun Ra (Gibson Kalamazoo Organ, Hohner Clavinet, clavioline); Marshall Allen (alto saxophone, Jupiterian flute, oboe, percussion); Danny Davis, Danny Thompson (alto saxophone); John Gilmore (tenor saxophone, percussion); Pat Patrick (baritone saxophone, flute, percussion); Robert Cummings (bass clarinet); Wayne Harris, Akh Tal Ebah (trumpet); Ali Hassan, Charles Stephens (trombone); Robert Northern (French horn); Robert Barry (drums, lightning drums, percussion); Clifford Jarvis (drums, percussion); James Jacson (log drums, percussion). Recorded in New York, New York between 1967 and 1969. Originally released on El Saturn (507), and Impulse (AS-9239). Includes liner notes by Michael Shore. One of the first jazz releases to make prominent use of the clavinet, ATLANTIS (recorded between 1967 and '69) is another hallmark of bold experimentation in the Sun Ra discography. The album consists entirely of spare, surging numbers featuring, for the most part, clavinet, percussion, and saxophone as the only instrumentation. ...

Van Morrison His Band & Street Choir CD  (1970)

Brute Force DVD
CD $8.75  4 stars Audio Samples Definitive Album
The dark night of the soul that culminated in ASTRAL WEEKS found its counterpart in Morrison's next two albums, the seminal MOONDANCE and its subsequent sister, HIS BAND & THE STREET CHOIR. Both released in 1970, these latter two albums defined the folk/soul/blues amalgam that would prove to be the foundation of Morrison's music. The photos inside the sleeve reveal Van as country gentleman, looking at home and (dare we say it) happy. This image is furthered by his then-wife Janet Planet's liner notes, which paint a picture of Van as a man reborn. The music more than bears this out. The tunes here are among the most soulful in Morrison's repertoire. The classic opener "Domino" finds him wailing over a punchy horn section and insistent, percolating rhythms, setting the tone for the rest of ...

Faust/So Far CD  (1972)

Brute Force movie DVD
CD $12.99  4 stars Audio Samples Definitive Album
Though a commercial blip in its day, Krautrock has become one of the most enduring movements in music history, with countless indie acts namedropping the genre's most famous as influences. Now, as then, Hamburg's Faust gets the least love. Revisited Records hopes to change that with this long overdue reissue of the band's classic second long-player, SO FAR. One of the worst commercial failures in the history of Virgin Records, SO FAR was a slight capitulation to the marketplace after their mellow-harshing debut: there are some hints of accessible grooves (the mesmerizing opener, "It's A Rainy Day, Sunshine Girl") and melodicism (the Jimmy Page-ish guitar and flute of "On the Way to Adamae") to pull in the faint of heart. Otherwise, SO FAR builds on the drastic pastiches of the first album: proto-industrial soundscapes evaporate into dreamier, layered ones and back again throughout the album's nine tracks. Faust didn't have the groove of Can, the thrust of Neu!, or the riffs of Amon Duul, but they had guts and an unsinkable sense of "anything goes." Given the success of industrial music and the uncompromising throb of the millennial American underground in places like Providence and Brooklyn, they also had a vision of the future. Essential for fans with adventurous ear drums. Julian Cope ...

Gene Clark No Other CD  (1974)

CD $11.79  5 stars Top 500 Audio Samples Definitive Album
Ex-Byrd Gene Clark's early-'70s solo efforts, which rank alongside the recordings of the Flying Burrito Brothers and Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young in terms of quality, vision, and appeal, have been unjustly overlooked. This is particularly true of NO OTHER, Clark's 1974 coup de grace. While the focus of NO OTHER's excellent predecessors WHITE LIGHT and ROADMASTER was on stripped down, passionate country-rock, NO OTHER pushes Clark's aesthetic to another level entirely. A cadre of female backing vocalists lend gospel-drenched color to the album, taking Clark's excellent compositions to church, and giving the whole a sanctified feel. Amid the strummed acoustics and weeping pedal steel of songs like "Life's Greatest Fool" and "The ...

Andy Garcia stars in, directs, and produces this highly personal movie, a lengthy tale about his native Cuba. THE LOST CITY, a labor of love that Garcia has attempted to film for almost 20 years, was penned by his writer friend, the Cuban exile Guillermo Cabrera Infante, who didn't live to see the film completed. The film is set in Havana, where Garcia plays nightclub owner Fico Fellove, whose life revolves around the thriving scene that unfolds there on a nightly basis. But trouble looms when one of his brothers, Luis (Nestor Carbonell), is killed after a violent raid on the presidential palace. Matters get worse as Fellove's other brother, Ricardo (Enrique Murciano), harboring revolutionary ideas in retaliation for Luis's death, heads out to join the forces gathered by Fidel Castro and Che Guevara. Meanwhile, Meyer Lansky (Dustin Hoffman), a tough American gangster, puts pressure on Fellove to sell his club and build a new one with mobster money. In the course of the film, Garcia manages to create the sense that Cuba wasn't really better off ...
