An epic post-Vietnam look at the Western genre and the exploitation of immigrant settlers, HEAVEN'S GATE is based on the historical 1890s Johnson County War incident in Wyoming. Visually remarkable sequences and a haunting score frame the story. Sheriff James Averill (Kris Kristofferson), educated in the east and full of idealism, attempts to protect immigrant farmers when wealthy land barons hire mercenaries to settle their scores. The hired guns, including Nathan Champion (Christopher Walken), plan to kill a number of farmers whose names appear on a death list and whom the farmers believe have been stealing their cattle. Backed by the army and the federal government, the mercenaries prepare to attack the farmers when Averill and Champion clash over the impending massacre and Ella Watson (Isabelle Huppert), a local prostitute and woman they both love. Shot right after Cimino's triumphant DEER HUNTER, the film is a violent, unsentimental look at the American frontier.
This is a 219 minute feature film DVD starring Kris Kristo fferson, Christopher Walken, John Hurt, and Sam Waterston.

Tom Shadyac's (ACE VENTURA) film tells the true story of Hunter "Patch" Adams (Robin Williams), an aspiring doctor in the 1970's who attempted to treat his patients with a medicine that modern science had totally disregarded: humor. After a stint in a mental hospital where he discovers his need to help others, a young Patch enters medical school. There he develops his own methods of reaching patients as an antidote to the the pomposity he witnesses in his instructors and fellow students. While his patients and fellow staff members appreciate his approach, the powers-that-be frown upon his "unschooled" methods and attempt to prevent him from practicing. Philip Seymour Hoffman (MAGNOLIA) and Monica Potter (ALONG CAME A SPIDER) co-star in this crowd pleaser based on a book by Adams.
This 116 minute Collector's Edition DVD feature film stars Robin Williams.

When Deepa Mehta first began filming WATER in 2000, angry fundamentalist mobs burned her sets and threatened her life. The Indian government claimed it could not protect her, and the project had to wait four years before finally filming in Sri Lanka. Her film has raised the ire of extremists because it challenges the Hindu customs that dictate that widows, considered half-dead after the loss of their husbands, must be closeted in holy ashrams--a practice that still exists today. Set in the 1930s, the film tells the story of eight-year old Chuyia, whose husband dies before she even meets him. Her parents shave her head and whisk her away to a house of widows where the women sleep on the ground and beg in the streets to earn their puny portion of rice. Chuyia, feisty and resilient, comes into this world like a ray of light, and soon the women are rethinking their mute acceptance of their fate. Her closest friend and ally is the lovely Kalyani, and soon a forbidden romance begins to develop between Kalyani and Narayana, a young Brahmin man who, following the teachings of Gandhi, has denounced injustice.
The film is sumptuously beautiful, Chuyia is utterly winsome, and despite the harsh social issues at its heart, it often feels light and lively: Chuyia and Kalyani play games and dance, Chuyia steals sweets for a dying old widow, the women dance and paint each other's faces during a color festival, and the Cinderella-story romance between Kalyani and Narayana shimmers with the promise of salvation and happiness. Mehta, however, knows it would be disingenuous to allow such an easy resolution to such a dire situation, and the final chapter of WATER takes a tragic turn.
The controversial film extremist groups tried to stop with death threats, arson, and riots, but director Deepa Mehta would not be silenced. Extras include director's commentary, making of featurette, and behind the scenes featurette.

Whether this disc of late-1960s works by Steve Reich is a compelling collection of four of the composer's minimalist works or a maddening hour of noise depends entirely upon the listener. In the 60s, Reich experimented with--and wrote several works using--what he called "phase shifting." The concept is simple: two players begin playing in unison, but while one keeps a steady pulse, the other gradually speeds up until he is a pulse ahead, then another, then another. The not-so-simple result is a texture in which rhythmic and melodic patterns surface and disappear as one player moves slowly ahead of the other, one pulse at a time.
The performances here are superb, and fans of Reich should not hesitate. For listeners less familiar with the idiom, this disc may serve as an excellent introduction, but one which must be approached with care or the ear will be overwhelmed. The inclusion of three "versions" of 'Pendulum Music'--in which microphones are set swinging over amplifiers, producing patterns of feedback blips which are different each time the work is performed--interspersed among the longer works is welcome, helping to clear the ear and mind between them.
