Demolition Man [Blu-ray]

Demolition Man [Blu-ray] Review



Sylvester Stallone and Wesley Snipes go at it amid a dazzling cyber-future in this explosive hit. In 2032 archcriminal Simon Phoenix (Snipes) awakens from a 35-year deep freeze in CryoPrision to find a serene, non-violent Los Angeles ready for the taking. Unable to deal with Phoenix’s brutal 1990s style, officials seek an old-fashioned cop to fight old-fashioned crime. They revive Sgt. John Spartan (Stallone), unjustly serving a CryoPrison sentence because of his last encounter with Phoenix. Sandra Bullock, Benjamin Bratt and Denis Leary also play rough and tough in this “terrific mix of action and humor” (Joel Siegel, Good Morning America/ABC-TV).

The Snake and the Stallion (A Cobra & Ferrari DVD)

The Snake and the Stallion (A Cobra & Ferrari DVD) Review



Author: Spiritlevelfilm Binding: Slipcased/Boxed Published: 2008 Ten years in the making, this fast-paced, sixties-style, split screen epic with an amazing soundtrack tells the extraordinary story of how Carroll Shelby, together with a bunch of Southern Californian hot-rodders took on the might of Enzo Ferrari and his GTO in the mid 60s. Aside from original interviews from all the participants there's wonderful archive footage alongside some beautiful, newly filmed reconstructions with the original cars (Ferrari GTO, 250 SWB, Cobras and Daytona Coupe) on the track. A must for Cobra and Ferrari fans alike. "I spent a whole lot of time with Richard on this and he's really nailed it. Got all the right people, from Dan Gurney to Lee Iacocca. It's a wonderful, wonderful story and I've never seen anybody tell it better. I'm very proud to have been part of it." - Carroll Shelby

Cobra (Silent)

Cobra (Silent) Review



Count Rodrigo Torriani is a legendary womanizer whose playboy antics have left him flat broke. He finds financial salvation when he befriends Jack Dorning, who hires him into his blue-chip antique business. Rodrigo hides his true feeling for beautiful socialite Elise, when Jack falls for her. Elise is in love with Jack's fortune, and the two are soon wed. When Rodrigo learns that Elise has repeatedly betrayed her husband, he is tortured with the notion that revealing the truth to his best friend, will crush his trusting heart. Rudolph Valentino, the original Latin lover, catapulted to fame with his starring role in The Four Horseman Of The Apocalypse (1921 ). His iconic roles in The Sheik (1921) and Blood and Sand (1922) are the stuff of Hollywood legend. Valentino's animal magnetism is evident in this 1925 Ritz-Carlton production, Cobra, which is graced with the spectacular set designs of William Cameron Menzies. Valentino would appear in only one more motion picture, The Son of the Sheik (1926), before his tragic untimely death the same year at the age of 31, would plunge legions of adoring female fans worldwide, into hysterical grief.

Tango and Cash (Snap Case Packaging)

Tango and Cash (Snap Case Packaging) Review



Tango and Cash (Snap Case Packaging) Feature

  • TESTED
Another action flick from an unlikely source (wildly inconsistent Russian director Andrei Konchalovsky), buddy movie Tango & Cash teams Sly Stallone and Kurt Russell as bullet-dodging cops who get on each others' nerves while uniting against a slimy French drug kingpin (Jack Palance). Violent, profane, and packed with implausibilities, this is one of those big-budget, stunt-laden affairs that gets by on the charisma of its stars, and they almost pull it off. Tango & Cash was Stallone's first attempt to share the spotlight with another hero, and he's casually laid-back in his change-of-pace role (well, OK, it's not that change-of-pace), while Russell is equally enjoyable as Sly's well-coifed sidekick. Ridiculous all the way, this one is entertaining if only as a virtual catalog of action-movie clichés.--Jeff Shannon There are buddy cops. And then there are Ray Tango and Gabe Cash (Sylvester Stallone and Kurt Russell) They're rival L.A. policemen who have one thing in common: each thinks he is the best. And each has the commendations, battle scars and ready supply of hilarious one-liners to prove it. Team them and they're like oil and water. But frame them for a crime and they're like a match and kerosene. Year: 1989 Director: Andrei Konchalovsky Starring: Sylvester Stallone, Kurt Russell, Jack Palance

Silent Valentino Classics: Blood and Sand (1922) / The Eagle (1925) / Cobra (1925) (3-DVD)

Silent Valentino Classics: Blood and Sand (1922) / The Eagle (1925) / Cobra (1925) (3-DVD) Review



Blood and Sand (1922, B&W, Silent): Great screen lover Rudolph Valentino charismatically stars as Juan Gallardo, a shoemaker's son with aspirations to be a toreador in the 1922 motion picture adaptation of Vicente Blasco Ibanez's often filmed romantic tale, Blood and Sand. Juan's meteoric rise from poverty to the thrill-mad bullrings of Seville is aided by his childhood sweetheart Carmen (Lila Lee). But her sweet, innocent manner is no match for vamp Dona Sol (Nita Naldi), a wealthy woman who devours men and easily conquers the impressionable Juan. With perverted social anthropologist Don Joselito (Charles Belcher) lurking by the sidelines and sadistically studying Juan's corruption by fame, sex and power, Blood and Sand is not only a romantic tragedy of youthful folly but a pointed and ahead-of-its-time examination of 20th century stardom. Blood and Sand is a giant landmark in silent cinema with unforgettable performances by Rudolph Valentino, Lila Lee and Nita Naldi.

The Eagle (1925, B&W, Silent): Handsome, hard-riding Vladimir Dubrovsky is the Czarina's favorite Lieutenant in the Imperial Cavalry. When the officer spurns the Empress's romantic overtures, a reward is posted for his capture and execution. He flees St. Petersburg and returns home to discover that that his father has been murdered and his estate stolen by the scoundrel Kyrilla. Concealing his identity with a mask, Vladimir becomes "The Black Eagle" and leads a peasant revolt against the oppressive despot. The uprising gathers momentum, but when he falls for the tyrant's beautiful daughter, he is forced to choose between revenge and true love. Along with the hero's portrayal by the great Valentino, The Eagle features set design by William Cameron Menzies plus a brief appearance by a young Gary Cooper.

The Cobra (1925, B&W, Silent): Count Rodrigo Torriani is a legendary womanizer whose playboy antics have left him flat broke. He finds financial salvation when he befriends Jack Dorning, who hires him into his blue-chip antique business. Rodrigo hides his true feeling for beautiful socialite Elise, when Jack falls for her. Elise is in love with Jack's fortune, and the two are soon wed. When Rodrigo learns that Elise has repeatedly betrayed her husband, he is tortured with the notion that revealing the truth to his best friend, will crush his trusting heart. Valentino's animal magnetism is evident in this 1925 Ritz-Carlton production, which is graced with the spectacular set designs of William Cameron Menzies.

Rudolph Valentino, the original Latin lover, catapulted to fame with his starring role in The Four Horsemen Of The Apocalypse (1921). His iconic roles in The Sheik (1921) and Blood and Sand (1922) are the stuff of Hollywood legend. After The Cobra, Valentino appeared in only one more motion picture, The Son of the Sheik (1926), before his tragic untimely death the same year at the age of 31, which plunged legions of adoring female fans worldwide into hysterical grief.
