NTSC/Region 1. Oscar-winner Steven Soderbergh delivers this ambitious and sprawling biopic of one of the 20th Century's most influential political figures. In the second 130-minute segment, Guerilla, Ernesto 'Che' Guevara (Benicio Del Toro) has abandoned Cuba in order to start an even more daunting Latin-American revolution. He starts in Bolivia where, using a pseudonym, Che begins training his cobbled-together forces. This time around, however, Che's asthma is taking a greater toll, and the odds are stacked much higher against him. Yet even when the cause appears to be lost, Che remains defiant. Having accomplished the impossible in Cuba, he is determined to do the same thing here. But unfortunately time catches up to him, putting an end to his mission once and for all. For the second segment of his two-part epic, Soderbergh changes his style, reflecting the tougher battle that Che confronted in Bolivia. Gone is the glorious widescreen photography; replacing it is a more claustrophobic 1:85 ratio. Also gone is the tripod, which produces a much more frenetic, unstable effect for the viewer.

As Che wheezes his way through the woods, learning of the loss of more and more soldiers, Soderbergh prepares us, through his cinematography and Alberto Iglesias's foreboding score, for his inevitable fall from glory. Once again, Del Toro is phenomenal in bringing the notorious Che to life on screen. Watched in succession, Soderbergh and Del Toro's CHE is a grueling experience, yet it is rewarding in a way that few films are. Che, Part Two Reviews: 4 stars out of 5 -- "Distant, composed and wheezing from asthma, del Toro remains impenetrably charismatic through it all."-- Jonathan Crocker, Total Film 4 stars out of 5 -- "The film ends in blur, silence and dust, as if we're watching the world fad through Guevara's own eyes."Total Film Che, Part Two | Studio | Paradox Entertainment | | Orig Year | 2008 | | All Time Sales Rank |  37709  | | CD Universe Part number | 7761092 | | Catalog number | 1200047 | | Discs | 1 | | Release Date | Aug 18, 2009 | | Rating | Not Rated | | Also Known As | Che, Part Two:Che - Part 2 - Guerrilla; Guerilla | | Running Time | 131 Minutes | | Additional Info | Dubbed; Subtitled; DTS Sound | | Movie Details | Color; Dubbed; Subtitled; DTS Sound; Canadian |

Adapted from Glenn M. Stewart's stage musical, THE CITY CLUB, Rachel Samuels's DARK STREETS is a smoky modern noir set in an unnamed Depression-era American city. Gabriel Mann stars as Chaz Davenport, the son of a wealthy and important public figure who surprises everyone by committing suicide. A distraught Chaz, who owns a hot new nightclub featuring a talented roster of singers and dancers, soon discovers there was another side to his father's life--and death--that he knew nothing about. At the same time, a very strange police lieutenant (Elias Koteas) shows up, offering Chaz protection from the loan sharks he owes big money to in exchange for giving a shot to sexy chanteuse Madelaine ...

DEAR ZACHARY: A LETTER TO A SON ABOUT HIS FATHER is not for the faint of heart. Filmmaker Kurt Kuenne's excruciatingly powerful documentary begins as a memorial to a lost friend, Andrew Bagby, who was brutally murdered in 2001 by a crazed ex-girlfriend. Yet as Kuenne traveled the globe to interview friends and family of the beloved young doctor, Bagby's killer, Shirley Turner, fled to Newfoundland to escape arrest. Under the backwards protection of the Canadian law, she was allowed to remain free; during that time, she revealed that she was pregnant with Andrew's child. Knowing that this woman was responsible for their son's death, David and Kathleen Bagby nonetheless moved to Newfoundland in order to be closer to their grandson. And that's when things got even worse.
With DEAR ZACHARY, Kuenne has fashioned one of the more unusual, and devastating, documentaries of recent memory. It is a deeply personal home video memoir, a true crime thriller, an impassioned plea for judicial reform, and an ode to two of the most heroic, loving parents the screen has ever seen. Each of these, on its own terms, ...
