The Andromeda Strain | Year: 1971 | 131 min. | United States Directed with clinical precision by Academy Award® winner* Robert Wise, The Andromeda Strain is a compelling account of the earth's first biological crisis. After an errant satellite crashes to earth near a remote New Mexico village, the recovery team discovers that everyone in the town are victims of a horrible death, with the mysterious exception of an infant and an old homeless man. The survivors are brought to a state-of-the-art underground laboratory, where the puzzled scientists race against time to determine the nature of the deadly alien virus before it wreaks worldwide havoc. A trailblazer in the areas of special effects and inventive sets, The Andromeda Strain is based on Michael Crichton's best-selling novel that created national paranoia for its topical relevance to the first moon landing and is perhaps the most chillingly realistic science fiction thriller ever made. *1961 Best Picture, Best Director, West Side Story. Catch Me If You Can | Year: 2002 | 141 min. | United States Inspired by the extraordinary true story of a brilliant young master of deception and the FBI agent hot on his trail, Catch Me If You Can stars Oscar®* nominee Leonardo DiCaprio and two-time Academy Award®** winner Tom Hanks. From three-time Oscar®*** winning director Steven Spielberg, Catch Me If You Can follows Frank W. Abaganale, Jr. as he successfully passes himself off as a pilot, a lawyer, and a doctor – all before his 21st birthday!     *Best Supporting Actor, What's Eating Gilbert Grape, 1993; Best Actor, The Aviator, 2004; Best Actor, Blood Diamond, 2006.   **Best Actor, Philadelphia, 1993; Best Actor, Forrest Gump, 1994. ***Best Director, Saving Private Ryan, 1998; Best Director, Schindler's List, 1993; Best Picture, Schindler's List, 1993. Godzilla 1984: The Return of Godzilla | Year: 1984 | 103 min. | Japan With a higher budget and more advanced special effects than any previous film in the series, THE RETURN OF GODZILLA® returns Japan’s greatest monster to his intended role as an epic force of destruction and the film’s spectacular success re-launched the Godzilla® franchise after nearly a decade in suspended animation. Unfortunately for North American audiences, this direct sequel to the original 1954 feature film has previously only been available in a highly edited version that cut over twenty minutes of original footage and effects, changed key plot points and altered the dark dramatic tone and narrative by inserting additional scenes and humor in an attempt to "Americanize" the film. But now, at long last, the acclaimed kaiju masterpiece finally hits American shores in all its uncut original glory! Get ready for the biggest Godzilla® epic that you’ve never seen as Kraken Releasing unleashes the complete and unedited THE RETURN OF GODZILLA®! Sully | Year: 2016 | 96 min. | United States On January 15, 2009, Captain Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger (Tom Hanks) and his copilot (Aaron Eckhart) begin a routine flight that turns terrifying. Sully pulls off the impossible and glides his disabled plane onto the frigid waters of the Hudson River, saving the lives of all 155 aboard. Even though he's heralded for his unprecedented fear of aviation skill, an all-out investigation threatens to destory Sully's reputation and career.

I "blame" Yves for this one. And it wasn't easy to find an English friendly release. I got a little worried when this arrived. The product description on Amazon Spain said that it had English subtitles, but the packaging only said Castellano. It did actually sport Spanish, French and English subtitles. Whew!

The Bullet Train UPC 811956-021472 | Japan 1975 | 152 minutes | Twilight Time The basis for the 1994 American hit, Speed, The Bullet Train (Shinkansen Daibakuha, 1975) stars the wonderful Ken Takakura (The Yakuza) as a mad bomber who plants a device on a high-speed Japanese train, programmed to detonate if the train’s speed drops below 80 kilometers per hour. His design: to collect a multi-million-dollar ransom. Also starring martial arts hero Sonny Chiba as the train’s clever engineer; directed by Junya Satô (The Silk Road).

The 3 Worlds of Gulliver UPC 811956-021601 | United States 1960 | 99 minutes | Twilight Time The phenomenal team of special effects wizard Ray Harryhausen, composer Bernard Herrmann, and director Jack Sher bring their gifts to bear on The 3 Worlds of Gulliver (1960), a spritely adaptation of Jonathan Swift’s acerbic satire, Gulliver’s Travels. Satire gives way here, however, to the fantastical tale of a doctor (Kerwin Mathews) and his stowaway fiancée (June Thorburn) who adventure first to Lilliput—a land populated by four-inch-tall schemers—and then to Brobdingnag, where giants prove no more politic.

Mutant UPC 853765-005656 | United States 1984 | 99 minutes | Code Red, Multicom A hideous town secret is waiting for two vacationing brothers (Wings Hauser, Vice Squad, Deadly Force, Tough Guys Don’t Dance, and Lee Montgomery, Ben, Girls Just Want To Have Fun, Burnt Offerings) who team up with a local sheriff (Bo Hopkins, The Fifth Floor, Tentacles, Sweet Sixteen) to uncover the grisly threat to the entire population. A nearby chemical plant has been dumping toxic water just outside of town, turning townspeople into contaminated, mutant zombies. Now, there’s nowhere to run as the growing army of bloodthirsty ghouls takes over the town and slaughters the remaining humans, one by one! This sci-fi chiller also stars Jennifer Warren (Night Moves) and was directed by John Bud Cardos (The Dark, Kingdom Of The Spiders), featuring a classic score by Richard Band (Re-Animator, Puppet Master).

Since my last update ...

August: Osage County | Year: 2013 | 121 min. | United States Academy Award® Winners Meryl Streep* and Julia Roberts** star in the darkly hilarious and deeply touching story of the strong-willed women of the Weston family, whose lives converge when a family crisis brings them back to the Midwest house they grew up in, and to the dysfunctional mother who raised them. Based on Tracy Letts' Pulitzer Prize-winning play of the same name, Director John Wells skillfully translates from stage to screen, leading an all-star cast that includes Ewan McGregor, Chris Cooper, Abigail Breslin, Benedict Cumberbatch, Juliette Lewis, Margo Martindale, Dermot Mulroney, Julianne Nicholson, Sam Shepard and Misty Upham. *2011: Best Actress, The Iron Lady **2000: Best Actress, Erin Brockovich Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children | Year: 2016 | 127 min. | United Kingdom From visionary director Tim Burton comes a "wildly imaginative" (Julian Roman, MovieWeb.com) fantasy-adventure. When 16-year-old Jake unravels a mystery that spans alternate realities and times, he discovers a secret world for children with unusual powers, including levitating Emma, pyrokinetic Olive, and invisible Millard.  But danger soon arises and the children must band together to protect a world as extraordinary as they are. Immerse yourself in this "big, bold, and perfectly peculiar" (Silas Lesnick, ComingSoon.net) experience. Snowden | Year: 2016 | 135 min. | United States Academy Award®-winning† director Oliver Stone (JFK, Born on the Fourth of July) tackles the most important true story of the 21st century. Snowden, the politically-charged thriller reveals the incredible untold personal story of Edward Snowden, the controversial figure who exposed shocking illegal surveillance activities by the National Security Agency and became one of the most wanted men in the world. A hero to some and a traitor to others, the provocative story of what led him to that fateful decision makes for one of the most compelling stories in recent history. †1990, Best Director, Born on the Fourth of July; 1987, Best Director, Platoon; 1987, Best Writing Adapted Screenplay, Midnight Express. The Caine Mutiny | Year: 1954 | 124 min. | United States Nominated for seven Academy Awards® in 1954, including Best Picture and Best Actor, THE CAINE MUTINY is a classic film about the unstable Captain Queeg (Humphrey Bogart) and his tumultuous command of an old minesweeper and her weary crew. On the high seas during the dramatic battles of World War II, Queeg's by-the-book approach pushes his crew and his popular second-in-command, Lt. Maryk (Van Johnson) to the breaking point.  After a series of questionable orders, Maryk confronts Queeg when he orders the ship directly into the path of a deadly typhoon.  Maryk invokes navel code and relieves Queeg of his command, forcing the crew to mutiny.  Once safely back in port, Maryk is court-martialed for treason, setting off a tense trial that exposes the true state of Queeq's mind.  Nominated for Best Actor, Humphrey Bogart gives a searing performance as he is systematically brken down in this classic take of military conduct in a time of war. The Night Manager | Year: 2016 | 361 min. | United Kingdom "The Night Manager," the thrilling miniseries based on John le Carré's best-selling spy novel, follows hotel manager Jonathan Pine (Tom Hiddleston) in his quest to bring down international arms dealer Richard Roper (Hugh Laurie). After being recruited by a British intelligence officer to infiltrate Roper's inner circle, Pine is thrust into a world of international intrigue – but in his quest to do the right thing, Pine must first become a criminal himself. Includes all six unrated episodes, as originally aired on the BBC. Twister | Year: 1996 | 113 min. | United States The house rips apart piece by piece. A bellowing cow spins through the air. Tractors fall like rain. A 15,000-pound gasoline tanker becomes an airborne bomb. A mile-wide, 300 miles-per-hour force of total devastation is coming at you: Twister is hitting home. In this adventure swirling with cliffhanging excitement and awesome special effects, Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton play scientists pursuing the most destructive weatherfront to sweep through mid-America's tornado Alley in 50 years. By launching electronic sensors into the funnel, the storm chasers hope to obtain enough data to create an improved warning system. But to do so, they must intercept the twisters' deadly path. The chase is on! Collateral | Year: 2004 | 120 min. | United States Vincent (Tom Cruise) is a cool, calculating contract killer at the top of his game. Max (Jamie Foxx) is a hapless cabbie with big dreams and little to show for it. Now, Max has to transport Vincent on his next job – one night, five stops, five hits and a getaway. And after this fateful night, neither man will ever be the same again. Tonight everything is changing... "No crime film is years boasts a cooler vibe than Michael Mann's dazzling Collateral. Mann hits a new peak...Cruise takes his game to a whole new level. Foxx fires up the screen with the power and subtlety of a born star." — Peter Travers, Rolling Stone Just Like Heaven | Year: 2005 | 95 min. | United States Reese Witherspoon stars in the spirited romantic comedy Just Like Heaven. When David (Mark Ruffalo) rents his new apartment, the last thing he wants is company. Then Elizabeth (Reese Witherspoon) shows up, insisting the apartment is hers...until she disappears right before his eyes. He's convinced she's a spirit. She's convinced she's still alive. As they search for the truth of Elizabeth's past, their relationship changes from resentment to romance. Also starring Jon Heder, Just Like Heaven is a delightful film that critics declare is "one of the best romantic comedies to come along in years" (JP Sarni, Sirius Satellite Radio). Belle de jour | Year: 1967 | 100 min. | France Catherine Deneuve's porcelain perfection hides a cracked interior in one of the actress's most iconic roles: Séverine, a Paris housewife who begins secretly spending her afternoon hours working in a bordello. This surreal and erotic late-sixties daydream from provocateur for the ages Luis Buñuel is an examination of desire and fetishistic pleasure (its characters' and its viewers'), as well as a gently absurdist take on contemporary social mores and class divisions. Fantasy and reality commingle in this burst of cinematic transgression, which was one of Buñuel's biggest hits. In the Mood for Love | Year: 2000 | 99 min. | Hong Kong Hong Kong, 1962: Chow Mo-wan (Tony Leung Chiu-wai) and Su Li-zhen (Maggie Cheung Man-yuk) move into neighboring apartments on the same day. Their encounters are formal and polite—until a discovery about their spouses creates an intimate bond between them. At once delicately mannered and visually extravagant, Wong Kar-wai's In the Mood for Love is a masterful evocation of romantic longing and fleeting moments. With its aching musical soundtrack and exquisitely abstract cinematography by Christopher Doyle and Mark Lee Ping-bin, this film has been a major stylistic influence on the past decade of cinema, and is a milestone in Wong's redoubtable career. Y tu mamá también | Year: 2001 | 106 min. | Mexico This smash road comedy from the Oscar-winning director Alfonso Cuarón is that rare movie to combine raunchy subject matter and emotional warmth. Gael García Bernal and Diego Luna shot to international stardom as a pair of horny Mexico City teenagers from different classes who, after their girlfriends jet off to Italy for the summer, are bewitched by a gorgeous older Spanish woman (Maribel Verdú) they meet at a wedding. When she agrees to accompany them on a trip to a faraway beach, the three form an increasingly intense and sensual alliance that ultimately strips them both physically and emotionally bare. Shot with elegance and dexterity by the great Emmanuel Lubezki, Y tu mamá también is a funny and moving look at human desire. The Graduate | Year: 1967 | 106 min. | United States One of the most beloved American films of all time, The Graduate earned Mike Nichols a best director Oscar, brought the music of Simon & Garfunkel to a wider audience, and introduced the world to a young actor named Dustin Hoffman. Benjamin Braddock (Hoffman) has just finished college and is already lost in a sea of confusion and barely contained angst when he becomes sexually involved with a friend of his parents', the indomitable Mrs. Robinson (Anne Bancroft), before turning his attention to her college-age daughter (Katherine Ross). Visually imaginative and impeccably acted, with a clever, endlessly quotable script by Buck Henry (based on the novel by Charles Webb), The Graduate had the kind of cultural impact that comes along only once in a generation. The Player | Year: 1992 | 124 min. | United States A Hollywood studio executive with a shaky moral compass (Tim Robbins) finds himself caught up in a criminal situation that would be right at home in one of his movie projects, in this biting industry satire from Robert Altman. Mixing elements of film noir with sly insider comedy, The Player, based on a novel by Michael Tolkin, functions as both a nifty stylish murder story and a commentary on its own making, and it is stocked with a heroic supporting cast (Peter Gallagher, Whoopi Goldberg, Greta Scacchi, Dean Stockwell, Fred Ward) and a lineup of star cameos that make for an astonishing Hollywood who’s who. This complexly woven grand entertainment (which kicks off with one of American cinema’s most audacious and acclaimed opening shots) was the film that marked Altman’s triumphant commercial comeback in the early 1990s. The Assassin | Year: 2015 | 106 min. | Hong Kong Celebrated Taiwanese Master Director Hou Hsioo-hsien's long-awaited return to the screen tells the story of Yie Ninniang (Shu Qi), a General's daughter, kidnapped as a child and trained by a nun in the deadly arts- only to be sent home on a bloody mission of revenge, with her once-bethrothed love (Chang Chen) as the target. The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond | Year: 2008 | 102 min. | United States A rebellious socialite defies social conventions for a once-in-a-lifetime shot at true love, only to see her hopes for the future shattered after a priceless diamond vanishes into thin air in this romantic drama adapted from a long-lost Tennessee Williams screenplay. The Roosevelts: An Intimate History | Year: 2014 | 840 min. | United States THE ROOSEVELTS: AN INTIMATE HISTORY chronicles the lives of Theodore, Franklin, and Eleanor Roosevelt, three members of the most prominent and influential family in American politics. It is the first time in a major documentary television series that their individual stories have been interwoven into a single narrative. This seven-part, 14 hour film follows the Roosevelts for more than a century, from Theodore's birth in 1858 to Eleanor's death in 1962. Over the course of those years, Theodore would become the 26th President of the United States and his beloved niece, Eleanor, would marry his fifth cousin, Franklin, who became the 32nd President of the United States. Together, these three individuals not only redefined the relationship Americans had with their government and with each other, but also redefined the role of the United States within the wider world. The series encompasses the history the Roosevelts helped to shape the creation of National parks, the digging of the Panama Canal, the passage of innovative New Deal programs, the defeat of Hitler, and the postwar struggles for civil rights at home and human rights abroad. It is also an intimate humane story about love, betrayal, family loyalty, personal courage, and the conquest of fear. Looney Tunes Super Stars: Bugs Bunny: Hare Extraordinaire | Year: 1950 | 104 min. | United States Hare they are - the smart-aleck rabbit's cartoons you've probably never seen, because they've never ever been on DVD. Nothing but the 24-carrot good stuff, too: 15 shorts from the era when hunkered-down animation geniuses at good ol' Termite Terrace scribbled and drew with unabated Looneytic glee. Join the fun as the rascally one's pursuit of carrots and laughs puts him out the menu (Bedevilled Rabbit), on the make (Hare Trimmed), on deck (Mutiny on the Bunny), on the lam (Foxy by Proxy) and on 11 more hare-brained adventures. There are no odds or oddballs this funny bunny can't overcome. Exactly what you'd expect from a super star. CARTOONS Mutiny on the Bunny • Bushy Hare • Hare We Go • Foxy by Proxy • Hare Trimmed • Lumber Jack-Rabbit • Napoleon Bunny-Part • Bedevilled Rabbit • Apes of Wrath • From Hare to Heir • Lighter than Hare • The Million Hare • Mad as a Mars Hare • Dr. Devil and Mr. Hare • False Hare Looney Tunes Super Stars: Foghorn Leghorn & Friends: Barnyard Bigmouth | Year: 1955 | 97 min. | United States "You're in luck, fans – I say you're in luck – luckier even than when I drew a fifth ace!" Foghorn Leghorn, that ever-courtly barnyard banterer, has something to crow about these 15 remastered and 14 never-before-on-DVD cartoons. The rooster's roster includes 9 Foghorn Leghorn shorts ranging from Foggy vs. Doggy (All Fowled Up) to educatin' Egghead Jr. (Little Boy Boo) to hepcat beatnik jive (Banty Raids). Six more treasures from the vault keep the good times rolling, including befuddled Elmer Fudd's celebration of his bwave, hewoic dog (A Mutt in a Rut) and the Goofy Gophers' dog-daze antics (Gopher Broke). Don't wait - gopher it. That's almost a joke, son! CARTOONS All Fowled Up • Fox-Terror • A Broken Leghorn • Crockett-Doodle-Doo • Weasel While You Work • Weasel Stop • Little Boy Boo • Banty Raids • Strangled Eggs • Gopher Broke • A Mutt in a Rut • Mouse-Placed Chicken • Cheese It, the Cat! • Two Crows from Tacos • Crows' Feat Looney Tunes Super Stars: Road Runner & Wile E. Coyote: Supergenius Hijinks | Year: 1965 | 90 min. | United States In the time it takes to read this sentence, Road Runner could have whisked this DVD from your hand and left you holding a sizzling cartoon stick of Acme dynamite – many times over! The chase is on and so is the fun with 15 cartoons – 12 never before on DVD – in which forever frustrated (but never defeated) Wile E. Coyote busts out his array of gizmos to ensnare the highly sought after (but never captured) Ultra-Sonicus Ad Infinitum, aka Road Runner. Among the whatzitz – many from Acme Products, that fine purveyor of mail-order supplies – used by Grotesques Appetitus in his pursuit of very fast food are skateboards, skyrockets, a Spy Kit, invisible paint, suction cups and lightning bolts. Catch comedy cartoon lightning here. Beep-beep! CARTOONS Coyote Falls • Fur of Flying • Rabid Rider • Whizzard of Ow • Chariots of Fur • Little Go Beep • Sugar and Spies • Clippety Clobbered • The Solid Tin Coyote • Out and Out Rout • Shot and Bothered • Chaser on the Rocks • Highway Runnery • Boulder Wham! • Hairied & Hurried Funny Face | Year: 1957 | 103 min. | United States In the Academy Award®-nominated classic, Audrey Hepburn and Fred Astaire join forces, lending their song and dance talents to a timeless music. When a fashion magazine mogul (Kay Thompson) and her head photographer Dick Avery (Fred Astaire), scout out a bookstore for their next photo shoot, Dick discovers the unique face of bookseller and amateur philosopher Jo Stockton (Hepburn). Whisked off to Paris, Jo is soon transformed into a global supermodel...and finds herself falling for the photographer who first noticed her sunny, funny face. The Hunt | Year: 2016 | 350 min. | United Kingdom From the producers of Frozen Planet and Planet Earth, The Hunt reveals the most surprising and significant events in the natural world in astonishing detail. See the dramatic encounters of predator and prey in an entirely new light.  Featuring the extraordinary strategies of a huge range of predators, from cheetahs and African wild dogs to killer whales and polar bears, The Hunt will revolutionize what you thought you knew about life in the wild. Whether through speed, stamina or complex subterfuge, each creature's strategy is honed to its environment - and remarkable adaptations mean that the hunted often can, and do, outwit their hunters.  It's a life-or-death duel where each animal's skills are stretched to the very limit. The Messenger | Year: 2009 | 113 min. | United States Heartwarming, harrowing, and at times darkly comical, THE MESSENGER is a deeply felt story of the human cost of war at home. Ben Foster (3:10 TO YUMA), in his most powerful performance to date, as Will Montgomery, a battle-scarred Staff Sergeant home from Iraq and newly assigned to the Army's Casualty Notification service. Ordered to bear the bad news to families of fallen soldiers, and partnered with hard-line officer Captain Tony Stone (two-time Academy Award® nominee Woody Harrelson), Will faces this formidable mission while seeking comfort and healing back on the home front. Against protocol, Will is eventually drawn to Olivia (two-time Academy Award® nominee Samantha Morton), a recently fallen soldier's wife who has just been notified. In this emotionally charged landscape, THE MESSENGER brings us into the inner lives of these outwardly steely heroes to reveal their fragility with compassion and authenticity. One of the year's most critically acclaimed films, featuring tour-de-force performances from Foster, Harrelson, and Morton, THE MESSENGER is a surprising, moving, and ultimately human portrait of friendship, grief, and love.

Dort spielen sich unter der Oberfläche perfekter Disziplin, die von der eisernen Leiterin Madame Forneau überwacht wird, nicht nur brutale Machtspiele unter den Mädchen, sondern auch mysteriöse, unheimliche Vorgänge ab.
