Official Synopsis:

Kate (Halle Berry) is a shark expert whose business has been failing since a shark attack killed a fellow diver under her command. Once dubbed “the shark whisperer,” Kate is haunted by the memory of the attack and unable to get back into the water. With bills piling up and the bank about to foreclose on Kate’s boat, Kate’s old flame Jeff (Olivier Martinez) presents her with a lucrative opportunity: lead a t hrill-seeking millionaire businessman on a dangerous shark dive… outside the cage. Battling her self-doubts and fear, Kate accepts the proposal — and sets a course for the world’s deadliest feeding ground: Shark Alley.

Our Take:

Dark Tide starts out promising — despite Halle Berry having the lead role — before sinking into a mess of cliches and doldrums, and then finishing strong with a terrific climax. The film is ostensibly a shark thriller, but of course, it also tries hard to be a drama, and sometimes the drama overtakes the “thriller” part of things. And by sometimes, I mean most of the time.

Berry stars with real-life beau Olivier Martinez, but the duo have surprisingly little chemistry. She’s the shark expert/daring diver (yeah, I thought it was a stretch, too) and he’s the documentary filmmaker/ex-boyfriend. After a tragedy causes the death of one Berry’s close friends/co-workers (death by shark, naturally), she retreats from diving until One Last Job comes along and coaxes her back into the water.

On the plus side, the film looks terrific. There’s lots of great ocean photography, both above and below the water, and the movie being set off the coast of South Africa allows from some gorgeous vistas to populate the background. There’s also some pretty amazing Great White Shark footage. The problem is that the film is dragged down by Berry’s moping and whining. I know she’s won an Oscar, but I’ve never found her to be a particularly convincing actor. She never looks comfortable interacting with the sharks, or even that interested in them (and she’s supposed to be — effectively speaking — the shark whisperer), and instead spends the whole film scowling and fretting. This is a movie that would have greatly benefitted from some humor.

That all being said, the last 20 minutes or so are pretty terrific; tense, action-packed, and with some amazing shots that look like everything on film actually happened. It doesn’t quite salvage the whole film, but the ending at least makes sitting through the rest of the film easier to swallow.

Audio & Video:

The Blu-ray transfer is quite impressive. Colors are deep and vibrant, image clarity is spot-on, and the slight hint of grain give the film a good, cinematic quality to it. The soundtrack is also helped by the locales of the film, and it works hard and stays active. It really helps to accentuate the scenes that need a bit more oomph, and so overall, it works quite well.

Conclusion:

At the end of the day, Dark Tide isn’t terrible, it’s just not great. The strong production values and cinematography elevate it above the B-level shlock that the shark genre is populated with, but I wish it had been more of a thriller the whole way through, and less of an ineffective drama.

Hal Jordan Faces His Ultimate Threat in New Two-Disc DVD Set. Green Lantern: The Animated Series – Rise of the Red Lanterns (Season 1 Part 1) Includes First 13 Episodes of the Popular Cartoon Network CG-Animated Action Series!

BURBANK, CA – Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps embark on their latest intergalactic missions as Warner Home Video (WHV) releases Green Lantern: The Animated Series — Rise of the Red Lanterns (Season 1 Part 1) on DVD. Based on the adventures of the popular DC Comics super hero, Green Lantern: The Animated Series, currently part of Cartoon Network’s DC Nation programming block (Saturdays at 10 a.m. ET/PT), is produced by Warner Bros.

The two-disc DVD set featuring the first 13 episodes of the CG-animated action series will be available on August 28, 2012 for $19.97 SRP.

Green Lantern: The Animated Series — Rise of the Red Lanterns (Season 1 Part 1) follows Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps on a treacherous journey through deep space.

Equipped with a new squad and new spacecraft, The Inceptor, Hal and the team set out to protect the universe — and the Green Lantern Corps itself!

“Green Lantern: The Animated Series has really taken us into a realm we hadn’t explored before:  our first completely CG-animated series,” enthuses Sam Register, Executive Vice President, Creative Affairs, at Warner Bros.

It’s a beautifully rendered, epic space adventure with a scale that’s simply breathtaking.”

The DVD also includes a four-page preview of the Green Lantern: The Animated Series comic book.

Official Synopsis:

A pair of lovers (Lee Tergesen and Enid Graham) travel from town to town, taking on different identities in each new place. Driven by an insatiable appetite for change and with no regard for consequences, they manipulate, toy with, and forever alter the lives of the strangers they meet. However, with each performance, their deceitful game spirals ever more out of control. One lie leads to another and, in the end, escape becomes impossible.

Our Take:

Every year, without fail, a handful of films arrive just outside the mainstream indie spotlight that challenge viewers in ways that manage to shock without once needing a drop of blood or sudden orchestral hit. These sleeping shockers go on to become quiet cult favorites as word of them spreads like a nasty high school rumor from geek to geek, forum to forum, and self-righteous blogger to faceless social media masses. Silver Tongues is this kind of film. Though comprised of what is essentially four scenes in a runtime over 80 minutes (you do the math), the dark and (f*cking) twisted world of our lovers is one you will be unable to look away from. Even when the setup is revealed at the height of the first sequence, everything that follows falls further and further down a rabbit hole of cinema that is rarely, if ever, explored.

Conclusion:

The above plot gives away everything you need to know to not know too much, so ask yourself “do I feel like getting dark and twisted tonight?” If your answer is yes, then seek this out.

Our Take:

A monotonous, narcissistic experiment in desaturated indie filmmaking that should never have been laid to digital video, let alone screened for an audience where even one person may have entered with the intention of finding something that resembles entertainment. Screw putting nails in the coffin of the recent zombie film infestation, Descendents is an effort in mutilating said corpse beyond recognition.

Conclusion:

Descendents made me ask myself what the hell I’ve decided to do with my life. There are literally billions, BILLIONS of better ways to spend your time than even remembering this awful film exists. Hell, I’m sorry I gave it this much time on this website. Burn all recollection.

Official Synopsis:

Inspired by a true story, The Bling Ring centers around Zack (Austin Butler, Switched At Birth), a shy, awkward middle-class boy searching to be accepted by his high school classmates. When he meets Natalie (Yin Chang, Gossip Girl), a seemingly nice girl but in actuality a bit more nefarious than one would think, the promise of popularity and friendship soon becomes a reality when they begin ‘shopping’ in the closets of the rich and famous. Empowered by the thrill of not getting caught and under the impression the stolen goods will make them popular, Zack, Natalie and a few other friends begin breaking into the homes of a number of major celebrities, robbing them of millions of dollars in clothes, shoes and jewelry. As their crimes begin to attract the attention of the media, the group succeeds in becoming the envy of their peers. Meanwhile, Zack’s mother, Iris (Jennifer Grey, Dirty Dancing), happy to see that her son has finally made friends, is blissfully unaware of his crime spree…until it begins to attract the wrong kind of attention.

Our Take:

I found The Bling Ring really entertaining. I wasn’t expecting too much when I saw that it was a Lifetime original movie, but it was enjoyable and made me what to know more about this case. The movie begins with Austin Butler’s Zack talking to his webcam about a crime spree. It turns out this was his confession that he taped and uploaded to YouTube.

Zack is a likeable character. On the other hand, the character of Natalie portrayed by Yin Chang (Gossip Girl) is a spoiled brat who is thinks the world owes her. At one point when she is breaking into cars for money to get into a club, she says, “never pay for something that should be free.”

The two recognizable actors in the movie are Jennifer Grey (Dirty Dancing) and Tom Irwin (Grey’s Anatomy). Grey has had plastic surgery since her Dirty Dancing days, so she is looking like actress Lea Thompson (Back to the Future) these days.

Special Features:

None

Conclusion:

It is kind of hard to believe that these high schoolers robbed some celebrity houses more than once and were successful each time. You would think that the security systems would have been updated after the first incident.

This story will be receiving the Hollywood treatment when Sofia Coppola’s version comes out with the same title in theaters in 2013.

Official Synopsis:

Another supernatural force has come to light in Bon Temps – witchcraft – and life for its residents will never be the same. Sookie finds herself entangled in a love triangle – torn between a vengeful Bill, the new Vampire King of Mississippi, and Eric, who’s not the former Viking he once was. Led by a charismatic witch named Marnie, who threatens to let no one living or dead stand in her way, a powerful coven tempts Lafayette, Tara, and Jesus with otherworldly powers. Jessica tries to adjust to a domestic life, while Jason finds himself alone in werepanther territory. Arlene and Terry come to terms with their highly unusual baby, and Alcide finds himself caught in the clutches of an old flame. As old alliances crumble and new relationships form, Season 4 of True Blood proves that nobody’s safe when there’s magic in the air.

Our Take:

I get why True Blood is popular; I really do. Based on the popular series of books by Charlaine Harris, the show holds nothing back. Its filled with sex, violence, and language; of course, you’d expect nothing less from HBO. It also manages to capture a very particular Louisiana vibe; it’s not quite southern gothic, more like “dirty south,” and it really gives the show a flavor and identity all its own.

And while the show is definitely easy to watch, it’s also a bit tough to watch at times. I find that I really have to be in the mood to watch True Blood. It’s a good show, and I like that it explores a darker, more edgy vampire world than fare like, say, Vampire Diaries, but whenever I sit down to watch it, it kind of puts me in a dark place. It’s an engaging show, but it’s not what I would call “enjoyable” per se. I like the series fine enough, but it’s certainly not something I approach with the same fervor as many of the show’s die-hard fans.

Audio & Video:

Not surprisingly considering their past efforts, HBO’s transfer of True Blood is quite gorgeous. While the show clearly has a look and feel all its own, this transfer replicates that perfectly. Colors are cool but vibrant, image detail is impeccable, contrasts are strong, and the print is immaculately clean. A lot of the show takes place at night, but excellent shadow delineation ensures that everything is visible on screen at all times. The accompanying DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround soundtrack is nothing short of a masterpiece, bringing the Louisiana bayou to life with impressive results. Active surrounds, strong directional and panning effects and an immersive soundfield combine to transport you directly into this fascinating world. Dialogue is expertly placed in the mix, and the soundtrack music is also balanced extremely well.

Special Features:

Conclusion:

I give True Blood credit for trying to keep things fresh by throwing witchcraft into the whole vampire/werewolf mix, and there’s no denying the show does what it does very well. I guess I’m just not all that into the thing that it does.

Official Synopsis:

Nothing leads to love like a little laughter, and one sure-fire way to get the sparks flying is with this first-ever collection of timeless romance-themed episodes from the shows you grew up with but never outgrew.

After a romantic dinner, simply place Love Is On The Air in your DVD player, curl up on the couch with that special someone, hit “play” and relive some of your favorite romantic episodes from television’s golden age of comedy! Chocolates sold separately.

Our Take:

Shout Factory holds a special place in my heart as the company that brought Freaks and Geeks to DVD.  While a collection of love-themed episodes from classic TV shows isn’t nearly as enticing, it still carries some intrigue, though not without risk.  As with Forrest Gump’s proverbial box of chocolates, you never know what you’re going to get with anthologies, and true to form, this arrangement has both delicious bites and bland throwaways.

The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet may wield legendary TV status, but the episode chosen to lead off Love Is On The Air is sort of a dud.  “The Valentine Show,” from the program’s first season, is clever in an O. Henry kind of way but isn’t very funny, even if the canned laughter tries its best to persuade one otherwise.  There’s almost zero interplay between actors, and little Ricky Nelson, who’s given the most comical lines, looks like he’d get a spanking if he were to smile.

After a flat start the quality thankfully picks up, beginning with Father Knows Best.  In the intervening years between programs, actors miraculously evolved and developed the gift of natural interaction.  Camerawork also improved, with thoughtful compositions and even a zoom-in or two, and together began to resemble the sitcom as we know it today.  On the heels of Ozzie and Harriet’s stilted style, these upgrades are undeniable and make for a far better viewing experience.

Selections from Leave It To Beaver and Dennis The Menace continue the upward trend, producing more genuine laughs before Hazel adds a dose of melancholy with a tale of missed opportunities.  The Patty Duke Show revives the disc’s lighthearted tone, aided by a few comedic daydreams of teenage misconceptions concerning marriage.  Following such a strong build-up, however, Love Is On The Air ends as it began: with a thud.  No matter how gorgeous Marlo Thomas may be, she’s unable to save That Girl’s bad writing and even worse performances (including her own).  After a string of programs from the ‘50s and early ‘60s, this late ‘60s/early ’70s production is an odd choice to close out the disc and shares little with the preceding shows.

As a collection, it’s worth noting that the same story lines (infatuation with a new girl in town) and bits of dialogue (women who’ve gained a few pounds over the years are fondly told by their fellas that there’s “more of them to love”) pop up in multiple shows.  In every episode besides the That Girl outlier, youngsters share a curiosity of adult love and have the good fortune of being guided by concerned parents (emphasis on the “s”) who want them to approach relationships with maturity.  Within the wholesome cultural confines of that era, I suppose there are only so many directions to appropriately explore romantic themes.  As seen most recently with this year’s wealth of “Leap Day” episodes, most shows eventually tread the same paths, but to see so much overlap in the early years of television is somewhat surprising.        .

Special Features:

None

Conclusion:

May is an odd time for a love-themed DVD, but Shout Factory believes any day is a good day for romance.  Not every episode from Love Is On The Air is worth watching, but there are enough gems for a nostalgia-filled night.  Fortunately, modern technology offers the option of avoiding the less savory offerings through the genius of the Main Menu.  With the choices before you, think of this version of ol’ Forrest’s box of chocolates as booby-trapped around the edges; stick to the middle selections and you’ll do just fine.

Official Synopsis:

Taking his father’s advice, one man decides to return home in pursuit of a fresh start. But while training at his father’s martial arts school, he learns that his father has consented to sell the establishment to a competitor. What follows is the ultimate winner-take-all martial arts challenge.

Our Take:

When your biggest star is someone best known for playing second fiddle to Chuck Norris, your movie needs to be spectacular.  Fight The Fight does not rise to that challenge, but Sammo Hung isn’t entirely to blame.  While I’d like to invest in the film’s central battle to preserve the purity of the Choy Lee Fut martial arts style in the face of a new speed-and-strength approach, numerous distractions prevent that connection from occurring.

The issue of poor dubbing makes itself known in the film’s opening minutes.  In the initial England-set scenes, all speakers are mysteriously overlaid in Chinese-accented English, including the British.  Once the action moves to China, the synching adopts a randomness of confounding levels.  While it’s clear when the core male characters are genuinely speaking, they just as frequently have someone else’s voice piped in.  Instead of taking the traditional foreign film route of relying entirely on subtitles, the filmmakers or distributors appear to have culled all sorts of oral techniques, mixing and matching languages and pairing them to the visuals with little regard for how they line up.  The results are maddening and add a groan-inducing element to an already problematic film.  So much is lost in translation that I began to wonder if an entirely different story with no relation to the subtitles was actually taking place onscreen.

Unfortunate audio isn’t Fight The Fight’s only issue.  The actions scenes, doubly emphasized in the film’s awesome title, are rarely shot in an interesting manner.  You’ll find no cool camera angles here; only a rare slow motion shot or freeze frame to spice things up.  Backed by a corny Casio-composed score, the film gets progressively sillier with an unnecessary love tangent, occasional dopey voiceover reflections, and a pair of terrible memory sequences set against mutated Skittles skies and original Nintendo graphics.

As the story finally reaches the titular showdown, instead of serving as the film’s crowning achievement, the big three fight scenes have a reverse Rocky effect.  The bad dubbing, cheezy soundtrack (now in full Jock Jam mode), and lifeless cinematography converge, granting the battles a childish feel and lower the stakes in the process.  Not that it matters.  By then, I’d started making up my own dialogue and was in a different film entirely.

Special Features:

• Cast Interviews
• Trailer Gallery

Conclusion:

Fight The Fight is the first martial arts movie that makes me want to actively avoid dojos.  The film has few redeeming aspects and is an unfortunate setback for a typically exciting genre.

Official Synopsis:

An overnight success, twenty yearsiin theimaking…

David Carradine (Kill Bill, Bound for Glory), Michael Maloney and Mariel Hemingway (Manhattan, Deconstructing Harry) come together in this satirical buddy drama set in the dizzying whirl of fame at the heights of the music business. To screenwriters Scott Fivelson and Junior Burke, and director Mark Archer (prize-winning producer of In The Company Of Men), it’s all part of the American Reel.

Ladies and gentlemen, meet singer-songwriter James Lee Springer (Carradine), whose uncompromising style has held him back for the past 20 years. “Why did it take you so long to make it?” is the question that keeps coming back at him. Springer wryly counters, “I keep punchin’ out record executives.”

With a great musical score by Thom Bishop, featuring songs written and performed by David Carradine,American Reel touches the mind and the heart in the way that it asks, “When your dream finally comes true, is it still worth it?”

Our Take:

The last year has provided quite a few titles featuring the late David Carradine, but I would argue American Reel to be the one he would be most proud to have in distribution. Moving away from the world of action so many came to associate him with, Carradine wrote and performed the songs in American Reel, providing a much deeper portrait of a character already heartbreaking enough from his tale alone.

The film has flaws, most from the production/direction standpoint, but the music and performance of Carradine as a dreamer who refuses to let go of what he knows to be right is too good for anyone behind the camera to destroy.

Special Features:

• Exclusive Interviews with David Carradine and Michael Maloney
• 12-Song Soundtrack
• Photo Gallery

Conclusion:

American Reel is pretty alright. Not fantastic, maybe memorable for awhile, but definitely far from terrible. If you want one last night of enjoying David Carradine with a film you’ve never seen, you could do a lot worse than this.

Official Synopsis:

Have you ever wanted to be someone else? Or, more specifically, have you ever wanted to crawl through a portal hidden in an anonymous office building and thereby enter the cerebral cortex of John Malkovich for fifteen minutes before being spat out on the side of the New Jersey Turnpike? Then director Spike Jonze and writer Charlie Kaufman have the movie for you. Melancholy marionettes, office drudgery, a frizzyhaired Cameron Diaz- but that’s not all! Surrealism, possession, John Cusack, a domesticated primate, Freud, Catherine Keener, non sequiturs, and absolutely no romance! But wait: get your Being John Malkovich now and we’ll throw in emasculation, slapstick, Abelard and Heloise, and extra Malkovich, Malkovich, Malkovich.

Our Take:

Being John Malkovich is another movie I can check off my “always wanted to, but never have seen it” list. Now, as to whether I can check it off my “I liked it” list or not, that’s a whole ‘nother story.

There are things I adored about Being John Malkovich and things I absolutely hated about it. To be fair, going into a movie directed by Spike Jonze and written by Charlie Kaufman, two auteurs who specialize in oddball filmmaking, I knew what I was getting into. But I generally tend to hate things that are weird just for the sake of being weird (it’s why I never liked Arrested Development.)

And here’s the thing, I can totally accept the weirdness of a portal into John Malkovich’s brain. That is a plot device I have no problem with. But the film being largely set on the 7 1/2 floor of an office building, where everyone has to hunch to walk around because the ceilings are only 6 feet high? That’s utterly pointless. It adds nothing to the story. It’s weird just because it wants to be, and it really took away from the film as a whole for me.

Plus, the film gets awfully dark towards the end, and Catherine Keener’s character, Maxine, changes loyalties at the drop of a hat. The first few times her character changes her mind, it seems within the boundaries of the character, but by the end, you’re kind of like, “Oh, could you make up your mind already?” That’s no reflection on Keener, who is absolutely marvelous here (and has never looked more gorgeous.) It’s just the way the film is written.

With all that being said, I like the fact that the film had an explanation of sorts that ties everything together in terms of Malkovich’s brain and the people inhabiting it.  The movie is clever, but it would have been better if it hadn’t spent so much time doubting its own cleverness and throwing in unnecessary oddities in a futile attempt to make it more clever.

Audio & Video:

The transfer and soundtrack are a bit less than what I’m used to from the Criterion Collection, too. Now, I’m sure Criterion did the very best they could with what they were given, and I know this wasn’t exactly a mega-budgeted movie. But for a film that’s much more recent than most Criterion releases, I was surprised how much watching it on Blu-ray looked like watching a VHS tape. Colors are drab, image clarity is nothing great, and the whole picture looks dull and lifeless. Meanwhile the soundtrack doesn’t suffer any major flaws, but there’s nothing that stands out about it, either.

Special Features:

• New selected-scene audio commentary featuring filmmaker Michel Gondry
• New behind-the-scenes documentary by filmmaker Lance Bangs
• Conversation between John Malkovich and humorist John Hodgman
• Director Spike Jonze discusses Being John Malkovich via photos from its production
• Two films within the film: 7½ Floor Orientation and “American Arts & Culture” Presents John Horatio Malkovich, “Dance of Despair and Disillusionment”
• An Intimate Portrait of the Art of Puppeteering, a documentary by Bangs
• Trailer and TV spots
• PLUS: A booklet featuring a conversation between Jonze and pop-culture critic Perkus Tooth

Conclusion:

At the end of the day, Being John Malkovich is neither a hit or a miss for me; it’s an intriguing film with some major, major flaws that inhibit it from being as great as it could be.
