| | Last Days Of Disco DVD
Soundtrack English The third in Whit Stillman's excellent trio of talkative yet thought-provoking odes to days gone by. This installment is set in the Manhattan of the early 80's (chronologically between "Metropolitan" and "Barcelona") as the hedonistic disco era is on the wane and the money-grubbing self-absorbed era of junk bonds and MTV is on the rise. Two conservative recent Hampshire College graduates slave away as editorial assistants by day and vampy party-goers by night. Witty thoughtful banter moves this film along without the need for an oppressive disco soundtrack or gratuitous drug usage that seem to permeate films of the timeframe. Last Days Of Disco Reviews: "...Delicious malice and unexpected compassion....The cast is first-rate..."
-- Peter Travers, Rolling Stone "...Accomplished film-making....Fine performances and polished wit..."
-- Rob White, Sight and Sound "...Stillman evokes the hopeful melancholy of world-weary kids searching, á la Chic, for good times..." -- Rating: A-
-- Troy Patterson, Entertainment Weekly "...[Stillman] again renders his characters' fretfulness in deft, funny and improbably touching ways..."
-- Janet Maslin, New York Times "...Sharp-eyed and charming....Made with Stillman's trademark dry wit and whimsical sense of humor..."
-- Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times "...[Stillman] nails his characters with perfectly heard dialogue and laconic satire....The underlying tone of the film is sweet, fond and a little sad..."
-- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times "A masterful evocation of the giddiness and instantaneous nostalgia of waning youth."-- Film Comment Staff, Film Comment "It's hard to watch this movie and not feel nostalgic -- not for the end of the disco era, but for those heady late-'90s days when small, almost novelistic movies like this were relatively common..." -- Grade: B+-- Noel Murray, A.V.

Last Days Of Disco DVD THE LAST DAYS OF DISCO brings to a close American cinema raconteur extraordinaire Whit Stillman's unofficial trilogy about the neuroses of the young and upscale. Following Metropolitan and Barcelona, this is a clever and sparkling return to the nighttime party scene in early eighties Manhattan. At the center of Stillman?s roundelay of revelers are the icy, commanding Charlotte (Kate Beckinsale) and the demure, pragmatic Alice (Chloe Sevigny), by day toiling as publishing house assistants, and by night looking for romance and entertainment at a premier, Studio 54?like club. Brimming with Stillman's trademark dry humor, The Last Days of Disco is an affectionate yet unsentimental look at the end of an era.

The spirit of a semi-dead boy makes good in this WB-network-flavored tale, which is an adaptation of the young-adult novel by Swedish author Mats Wahl. A privileged and not very well-liked senior in his Seattle high school, brooding poet Nick (Justin Chatwin) winds up fingered for ratting out tough girl Annie (Margarita Levieva) to the cops for a jewelry heist. Soon his spirit is running loose trying to connect with the people around him, but only animals seem to notice; everyone else just goes about their business. Meanwhile, his body is lying concealed in a sewer tunnel and Annie is the only one "invisible" enough to understand his pain.

Daniel Auteil sheds the dramatic character of Michael Hanneke's CACHÉ to star in this light French comedy. Auteil plays François, an antiques dealer who finds it far easier to locate an Art Deco rarity than a true friend. He has plenty of professional contacts, but an utter lack of people skills leaves him alone after office hours. His business partner bets an expensive vase that he can't produce a friend within 10 days, and François struggles to pick out a best friend in an address book full of acquaintances and childhood chums. He keeps running into fellow loner Bruno (Dany Boon, THE VALET), who is friendly but can't trust anyone. Bruno teaches him to be "sympathique" (sociable) as François continues his search.
Even though MY BEST FRIEND centers on a man's search for a friend, it resembles a standard romantic comedy in its structure. It may lack an innovative plot, but this French gem makes up for it in charm. Auteil plays François with such energy that it's hard not to have affection for the man. Director Patrice Leconte has ...

Director Robert Rodriguez (SIN CITY) pays homage to his favorite B-movies with PLANET TERROR, an old-fashioned zombie film that's infused with enough gore and giggles to please even Peter Jackson (BAD TASTE).

Her ex-boyfriend, Wray (Freddy Rodriguez, SIX FEET UNDER), takes charge, fashioning her a new leg from a machine gun and killing zombies along the way. PLANET TERROR ...

Prolific director Michael Winterbottom (24-HOUR PARTY PEOPLE) takes an unusual turn by helming A MIGHTY HEART--a studio picture starring none other than Angelina Jolie. Jolie stars as Mariane Pearl, the widow of WALL STREET JOURNAL reporter Daniel Pearl. Daniel was kidnapped and executed in Pakistan in 2002, and Winterbottom's film centers on the frantic activities leading up to his death. Fellow journalist Mariane revs into action as soon as the disappearance of her husband is announced, calling on the FBI and experts in terrorism to help in the desperate search. With the media circling around the story like hawks, Mariane endures a very public display of grief, and her plight is perfectly captured by the unlikely alliance of Winterbottom and Jolie. The film was shot mostly in Karachi and uses locations that Daniel was known to have visited, adding a heady dose of authenticity to the proceedings. Winterbottom uses shaky, hand-held cameras, which add to the feeling of chaos as multiple organizations descend on Pakistan in the quest to find Daniel; fortunately the director uses some much-needed on-screen captions to make sure viewers are up to speed on who everyone is. A MIGHTY HEART is tough, emotional viewing that will be challenging (yet rewarding) for many audiences, even ...
