Director John G. Avildsen's 8 SECONDS is the true story of the meteoric rise and all-too-brief career of Lane Frost, the youngest national champion bull rider in history. Luke Perry stars as Lane, a shy but popular young bareback rodeo rider whose gutsy determination catapults him to stardom. As Lane gains a winning reputation, he meets and falls in love with Kellie (Cynthia Geary), a spirited, beautiful young horsewoman. After a passionate courtship, the two young rodeo riders get married. Kellie looks after Lane and sacrifices her own freedom to be his devoted wife, but the pressures of Lane's career soon take their toll. Kellie is often left alone while Lane continues to ride the circuit with his longtime friends and competitors, including three-time rodeo champion Tuff Hedeman (Stephen Baldwin).

$25.95 
The silver-screen version of SEX AND THE CITY is sure to inspire lust, though it may not be after its sexy male cast. Instead, Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) and her friends wear enviable fashions from the industry's biggest names such as Zac Posen, Louis Vuitton, and, of course, Manolo Blahnik, and their gorgeous clothes--and accessories--threaten to steal the show. But for fans of the series' wit, drama, and sex, there's plenty to like in this romantic comedy filled with familiar characters. Though four years have passed since the events of the series, not much has changed as the film begins: Carrie and Mr. Big (Chris Noth) are happy as they search for an apartment, Charlotte (Kristin Davis) is blissful with her husband (Evan Handler) and adopted daughter, Samantha (Kim Cattrall) is still with actor Smith Jerrod (Jason Lewis), and Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) is trying to balance life as a mother, wife, and lawyer as she lives in Brooklyn with Steve (David Eigenberg). But Carrie and Big's apartment hunt leads them down the road to marriage, and the destination may not be quite everything Carrie hoped for.
Though the film runs nearly two and a half hours, it flies by the way a marathon of episodes would for the devoted. Even minor characters from the show--Vogue editor Enid Frick (Candice Bergen), beloved Carrie pal Stanford Blatch (Willie Garson), and hyper wedding planner Anthony Marentino (Mario Canton)--make fan-pleasing appearances. SEX AND THE CITY is full of glitz, glamour, and giggles, but be sure to have a tissue nearby. These characters have become like friends to fans, and it's tough not to tear up when things don't go exactly as they'd hoped.

$10.35
Conceived and executed in much the same visual manner as his ultra-popular
ROMEO AND JULIET (1968), Franco Zeffirelli's BROTHER SUN SISTER MOON attempts to draw parallels between the work and philosophy of St. Francis
and the ideology that underpinned the worldwide hippie movement throughout
the 1960s and early '70s. Zeffirelli's signature lush photography and use of
real architecture and settings enhances the story of this great historical
figure, played by young British newcomer Graham Faulkner.
Francesco, the spoiled son of a wealthy merchant, renounces all his worldly
possessions to live a simple life as a man of God. Much to the dismay of the local bishop, he gradually gains a large following. The cinematography, editing, and a romantic soundtrack by the Scottish singer-songwriter Donovan, reinforce the healing and influential effect St. Francis had on his followers. The script contrasts Francis's piety and virtue with the bloated pomp of official Church doctrine, which is weighed down by internal politics. The film derives much of its strength from Faulkner as the young, battle-scarred nobleman laid low by his wartime experiences, who emerges from the horrors of conflict with a completely new and spiritual outlook
on life. The film features a cast of gifted newcomers and screen veterans, including Judi Bowker (one of the most beautiful actresses of ...

Beast Movie Review Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars)  Classic Borowczyk
My only problem with this comprehensive release is that the master used for the completely uncut version is a Dutch master with Dutch and English subs going on at the same time. The English subs already obscure the picture without the Dutch ones as well.

Good screenplay, good and famous actors (and especially beatiful A.), typical movie of Walerian Borowczyk in 75.

LA HISTORIA
Walerian Borowczyk (Alias: BORO): Director polaco de la corriente Erótica caracterizado por trabajar bajo un formato extravagante, oscuro y a la vez sincero por decirlo de alguna forma.
En este caso en particular nos referiremos a su más controversial largometraje, La Bête (a.k.a. The Beast, La Bestia). Basado en el cuento “La Bella y la Bestia” de J.M. Leprince de Beaumont (Francia, 1711-1780), Borowczyk genera una fábula erótica en el cual da a luz todos los aspectos sexuales desvirtuados que pueden florecer de una relación amorosa llevada acabo por una doncella (Romilda de l'Esperance) del siglo 18 y una bestia (cuerpo de oso y cabeza de lobo) que habita el frondoso jardín de su château (castillo).
En todo caso, la película transcurre 200 años después de los zoofílicos eventos protagonizados por Romilda de l’Esperance y el bicho en cuestión, cuando una joven llamada Lucy Broadhurst (Lisbeth Hummel) llega al castillo para casarse con su prometido Mathurin de l'Esperance (nuevo habitante del château).
Desde el primer momento en que Lucy pisa la finca donde el château se levanta, comienza a despertar en ella cierta curiosidad y atracción sexual por los animales, hecho que se acentúa cada vez mas a medida que transcurre el Film.
La película toma su verdadero color cuando Lucy, además de su patente atracción por el reino animal, comienza a tener reiterados sueños netamente vinculados con los acontecimientos ocurridos a Romilda hace ya 200 años.
IMAGEN y FOTOGRAFíA
1.66:1 - Widescreen
El transfer a DVD no es muy bueno, aunque cabe destacar que los colores ROJO y VERDE son extremadamente brillantes y eso le da un efecto visual muy bello cuando se mezclan con colores como el negro y el celeste (que en este caso son muy opacos y gastados). Tiene una fotografía hermosa y muy detallista a la hora de hacer close-ups con objeto de conceptuar ideas.
AUDIO y MúSICA
Mono
La música pertenece al compositor Domenico Scarlatti (1685-1757), desgraciadamente, desconozco el nombre de la obra para clavicordio que se ocupa en la escena de la persecución por el bosque del château, pero es un hecho de que dicha obra calza de manera perfecta y a su vez jocosa con la escena.
