Paraiso Travel Reviews:

"Although the stranger-in-a-strange-land theme of alienation certainly is a well-traveled one in contemporary cinema, it's seldom portrayed with the combination of bracing vitality and gritty authenticity as it is in PARAISO TRAVEL."-- Michael Rechtshaffen, Hollywood Reporter

"[A] cautionary tale of teen runaways at large in New York....[The] tech credits, particularly Miguel Angel Alvarez's production design, are top-notch."-- Ronnie Scheib, Variety

Gran Torino DVD  (2008) Widescreen

Paraiso Travel film
DVD $12.99  5 stars Top 100
For his fourth directorial feature in the span of two years, Clint Eastwood tells the story of a grizzled Korean War vet's reluctant friendship with a Hmong teenage boy and his immigrant family. Set in contemporary Detroit, GRAN TORINO tackles the shifting cultural and economic landscape of not only the Motor City, but America as well. Eastwood stars as Walt Kowalski, an unabashed bigot who never heard a racial insult he didn't love. Bitter, haunted, and full of pride, Walt refuses to abandon the neighborhood he's lived in for decades despite its changing demographics as he clings desperately to a mindset long since out of step with the times. When his Hmong neighbor Thao tries to steal his prized muscle car as part of a gang initiation, Walt is forced to grapple with the world around him. GRAN TORINO's approach to the complicated issue of race relations is equal parts Archie Bunker and CRASH. That is to say, there is nothing subtle about Walt's bigotry, yet his misanthropy knows no bounds, and Eastwood does a remarkable job of finding the humor in Walt's equal opportunity racism. More than simply a racial morality tale, however, GRAN TORINO is about the unlikely bonds that people form to navigate the subtle complexities every day life. Like MILLION DOLLAR BABY, GRAN TORINO explores the challenging yet rich new world that can open up when individuals let down their guard, even if for just a moment. Estranged from his family and his church, and without any sense of personal peace, Walt offers all that he has to Thao and his family, namely wisdom and protection. When tragedy strikes the family, Eastwood allows a little classic Harry Callahan to poke ...

Based on the autobiographical short story by Truman Capote (IN COLD BLOOD), this inspirational drama tells the story of Buddy, a seven-year-old boy abandoned by his parents and living with his spinster cousins in the rural South. The film is set during the Christmas season, and presents a tender look at Buddy's close and loving relationships with his far older relatives, Sook (Patty Duke) and Jennie (Piper Laurie). When Buddy (Eric Lloyd), is abandoned by his parents at the age of 7, he is dumped in the south at the small-town home of some older unmarried cousins. Without friends of his own age, Buddy develops a close friendship with one of the older, simpler ladies, Sook (Patty Duke) and the 2 undertake many adventures together. At Christmas time, they bake 31 fruit-cakes which they give as Christmas present, even mailing them to President Roosevelt and Jean Harlowe! Although ...

The boozing, smoking, cussing captain of a tramp steamer, Charlie Allnut, saves prim and proper Rose Sayer after her brother is killed by German soldiers at the beginning of World War I in Africa. Many quarrels later, the two set sail on the Ulonga-Bora in order to sabotage a German ship. Based on the 1935 novel by C.S. Forester, the wonderful combination of Hepburn and Bogie (who won an Oscar) makes this a thoroughly enjoyable blend of comedy and adventure. Later came the book (and Clint Eastwood film) White Hunter, Black Heart, which chronicled Peter Viertel's experiences observing Huston throughout the making of the picture. NTSC/Region 0 Korean pressing. ...

Set in Neptune, California, VERONICA MARS is a popular TV drama that follows the fortunes of a 17-year-old trainee private investigator. Neptune is full of powerfully rich residents, many of whom believe they are above the law. Fortunately Veronica, who was propelled into a life of crime-fighting after her best friend, Lilly, was murdered, is on hand to ensure that justice is served, much to the annoyance of the Neptunians who find themselves frequently foiled in their devious plans. Veronica's father is the former sheriff of Neptune, who found himself removed from office after alleging that Lilly's father was responsible for his daughter's death. Now, together with Veronica, he runs a local private investigation business, while also ensuring that his daughter doesn't neglect her high school duties. A long-standing subplot that runs through the show is Veronica's attempts to clear her father's name, which only leads to further evidence of enormous corruption and deceit in a neighborhood that seems littered with criminal activity. The entire second season of the show is collected here. In the wealthy seaside community of Neptune, California, the rich and powerful make the rules. Unfortunately for them, there's Veronica ...
