Act of Violence / Mystery Street (Film Noir Double Feature)

Warner Home Video, 2007

Act of Violence
This started slow, but once the very anguished Robert Ryan kicks in, the movie gains momentum. It's classic film noir - all dark with long shadows; but the performances transcend the genre - particularly the women - Janet Leigh (very young), and Mary Astor as a woman drinking alone in a bar. Intriguing is the way Robert Ryan before a late redemption is all oily makeup, but at the very end when ...

The Story Behind The Aviator
Howard Hughes was a strange man. He made several major films including Hell's Angels, Scarface, and The Outlaw, pushing the censors all the way. He loved flying planes which made him a hero but also caused problems for him. He adored women and dated almost every famous name in Hollywood during his lifetime. He also was partially deaf and suffered from OCD. The film The Aviator turned Hughes ...

Commentaries are great to have.
I love the picture quality of this great DVD set and also the commentaries on all of the movies. These are movies I can watch over and over again and never get tired of. Along with the commentaries they are a pretty good education in film noir.

How to deal with taboo topics in early 20th Century Cinema
Watch "Not Wanted" not only to experience a damn good movie, but to learn how early 20th century filmmaker Ida Lupino (yes, Lupino actually directed this classic)creatively and affectively handles poverty, infatuation and Abortion as it affects one misguided young woman. This film dives into the psyche of a disturbed woman, one not quite past the point of no return, and illustrates how sincere ...

But there's gonna be peace in the valley tomorrow
This is the most difficult kind of a review to write: a movie that had absolutely no impact on the reviewer at all. The film exists. I exist. I experienced the film. After the film, what did I take away from it? Nothing. (I'm forcing myself to write this, because after doing seventeen one dollar DVD reviews, I'm far too anal to simply start skipping titles now.) VENGEANCE VALLEY (1951) ...
