  1. DVD review: Highsmith steals a part of your life with 'Purple Noon'

    Some 40 years before Matt Damon played the title character in Anthony Minghella's “The Talented Mr. Ripley,” Alain Delon played the same role in Rene Clement's 1960 “Purple Noon,” adapted from the same novel by Patricia Highsmith (“Strangers on a Train,” “The Cry of the Owl”).

  2. DVD review: Hitchcock classic welcomed to Blu-ray

    Thanks to the vagaries of distribution, Alfred Hitchcock's black-and-white 1934 “The Man Who Knew Too Much” has arrived on an affordable Blu-ray earlier than the director's better-known Technicolor 1956 remake, which is available only as part of Universal's expensive 15-film “Masterpiece Collection.”

  3. DVD review: The last of Godard's accessible period

    “Weekend” is the last of the 15 features Jean-Luc Godard made in his first eight years as a director. (He made a similar number of shorts in the same period.) It was as though his brain was so intoxicated with the possibilities of cinema that he couldn't get his ideas onto the screen fast enough. “Weekend” is, like many of these works, a fractured narrative, and arguably the last to have anything resembling a story. Immediately thereafter, Godard spent several years making political film essays, most of which are much harder to approach.

  4. DVD review: Kurosawa classic 'Rashomon' brushed up for Blu-ray

    It's not just that Akira Kurosawa's 1950 “Rashomon” brought Japanese film to the west; or that it introduced to us the young, rising Toshiro Mifune; or that its title has become the universal shorthand for the uncertainty of the truth, as seen through different eyes. It's also that it's a great movie that suggests new possibilities each time you watch it. Ergo, it's a film that is more worthy to own on disc than most movies, which are only good for a few viewings. I return to it every few years; even with simply one set of eyes, I've managed to see it in many different ways, sometimes incompatible with each other.

  5. DVD review: 'The Campaign' is a race to so-so

    In “The Campaign” — released in August — Will Ferrell (often very funny) shared center stage with Zach Galifianakis (often entirely annoying). Even if Ferrell's not at his very best (which would be “Anchorman”), he's still funny here; more amazingly, Galifianakis is surprisingly tolerable and at points very funny.

  7. DVD review: 'They Live' has legs

    After his 1978 breakthrough film &ldquo;Halloween&rdquo; &mdash; which had (and still may have) the highest earning/cost ratio of all time &mdash; John Carpenter spent a decade making mostly higher budgeted films like &ldquo;The Thing,&rdquo; &ldquo;Starman&rdquo; and &ldquo;Big Trouble in Little China.&rdquo; As the '80s drew to a close, he went back to his roots with the low-budget &ldquo;They Live&rdquo; (1988), which for some of us remains his best film of the decade.

  8. DVD review: In the mood for beauty

    In principal, all films should be seen on the big screen; barring that, on Blu-ray; then DVD, laserdisc, VHS, and on down. But some films more urgently demand the best exhibition: Sue me, but many informational documentaries lose little when seen on...

  9. DVD review: Warner Bros. doubles up on Bugs and Co.

    For some of us, classic Warner Bros. cartoons handily trump the Disney animation from that era (roughly 1933 to 1960). Basically, if you want beautiful pictures and emotional involvement, you go Disney; if you want laughs, more laughs, and milk-out-your-nose laughs, you go Warner Bros. (This is not always true; there are exceptions on either side.)

  10. DVD review: Criterion rears restored 'Children of Paradise'

    Marcel Carne's unforgettable "Children of Paradise" ("Les Enfants du Paradis") &mdash; widely (and justly) considered one of the masterpieces of world cinema &mdash; showed up in theaters a few months ago in a remarkable restored version. At the time I hoped that the restoration and release foreshadowed an upcoming Blu-ray, which Criterion has now issued (along with an updated DVD version).

  11. DVD review: 'Maverick,' the first season

    When &ldquo;Maverick&rdquo; debuted in 1957, it immediately made James Garner a star. Garner and Jack Kelly costarred as Western gamblers Bret and Bart Maverick (respectively), with only a few episodes having both together. (Roger Moore joined in as cousin Beau during the last two seasons.) For most of its five-year run, it was a perfect balance of comedy and Western action; and you can see the roots of Jim Rockford in Garner's terrifically winning performances.
