ONVIDEO'S WEEKLY GUIDE TO HOME VIDEO RELEASES
FOR TUESDAY, August 8 -- MONDAY, August 14
BRICK
While taking its cues and its verbal style from the novels of
Dashiell Hammett, this debit feature from Rian Johnson also
honors the rich cinematic tradition of the hard-boiled noir
mystery, here immersed in fresh territory -- a modern-day
Southern California neighborhood and high school. Student Brendan
Frye's (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) piercing intelligence spares no
one. Brendan is not afraid to back up his words with actions, and
knows all the angles; yet he prefers to stay an outsider, and
does -- until the day that his ex-girlfriend, Emily (Emilie de
Ravin), reaches out to him unexpectedly and then vanishes. To
find her, Brendan enlists the aid of his only true peer, The
Brain (Matt O'Leary), while keeping the assistant vice principal
(Richard Roundtree) only occasionally informed of what quickly
becomes a dangerous investigation. Brendan's single-minded
unearthing of students' secrets thrusts him headlong into the
colliding social orbits of rich-girl sophisticate Laura (Nora
Zehetner), intimidating Tugger (Noah Fleiss), substance-abusing
Dode (Noah Segan), seductive Kara (Meagan Good), jock Brad (Brian
White) and -- most ominously -- non-student The Pin (Lukas Haas).
It's only by gaining acceptance into The Pin's closely guarded
inner circle of crime and punishment that Brendan will be able to
uncover hard truths about himself, Emily and the suspects that he
is getting closer to. Vitals: Director: Rian Johnson. Stars:
Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Nora Zehetner, Lukas Haas, Noah Fleiss,
Emilie de Ravin, Brian White. Meagan Good, Noah Segan, Matt
O'Leary, Richard Roundtree. 2006, CC, MPAA rating: R, 110 min.,
Drama, Box office gross: $2.060 million, Universal.
DON'T COME KNOCKING
Sam Shepard stars as down-on-his-luck Western star Howard Spence
who walks away from Hollywood in an effort to turn his life
around. At the age of 60, Howard uses drugs, alcohol and young
girls to avoid the painful truth that there are only supporting
roles left for him to play. After yet another night of debauchery
in his trailer, Howard awakens in disgust to find that he is
still alive, but that nobody in the world would have missed him
if he had died. Howard gallops away on his movie horse in full
cowboy regalia, fleeing from the film and his life. His first
stop is Elko Nevada, where his mother (Eva Marie Saint) informs
him that he may have a grown son from a long-forgotten
relationship. His next destination is Butte, Montana, the
location 25 years earlier where Howard shot the movie that made
him a star. It was also where he had an affair with Doreen
(Jessica Lange) who then, and now, is the waitress at the local
coffee shop. She has a son, Earl (Gabriel Mann), a rock musician
and singer living in Butte with his girlfriend Amber (Fairuza
Balk). Howard's meeting with Earl is violent and unsettling. Earl
completely rejects this unknown father who appears too late in
his life. Saddened by this encounter, Howard is ready to give up
and leave Butte again, when out of nowhere a young woman named
Sky (Sarah Polley) appears. She is exactly the same age as Earl.
She is, in fact, Howard's child, the product of another short
fling that happened during the filming of the same movie: She's
Earl's half-sister. These siblings do not know about each other.
That's when the real complications of this American family
reunion begin. And things get more complicated by a private
detective (Tim Roth) who has been sent by an insurance company
for the film shoot to track Howard down. Vitals: Director: Wim
Wenders. Stars: Sam Shepard, Jessica Lange, Tim Roth, Gabriel
Mann, Sarah Polley, Fairuza Balk, Eva Marie Saint. 2006, CC, MPAA
rating: R, 122 min., Drama, Box office gross: $.308 million,
Sony.
INSIDE MAN
Denzel Washington stars as New York police detective Keith
Miller, a tough, street-smart cop fighting for a promotion while
trying to live down accusations of misconduct connected to his
last case. When he and his partner are dispatched to the scene of
an in-progress bank robbery and hostage crisis, Miller must face
off against a well-educated criminal (Clive Owen) masterminding a
concisely plotted operation. As negotiations grow more strained,
a powerful lawyer with mysterious ties (Jodie Foster) becomes
involved in the crisis... and Miller slowly begins to realize
that in this ultimate game of cat and mouse, rules are arbitrary,
all roles are up for grabs and the black-and-white of right an
wrong has blurred to a shadowy landscape of gray. Lots of twists
and turns in this straight-ahead actioner. Vitals: Director:
Spike Lee. Stars: Denzel Washington, Clive Owen, Jodie Foster,
Christopher Plummer, Willem Dafoe. 2006, CC, MPAA rating: R, 129
min., Thriller, Box office gross: $88.504 million, Universal.
LARRY THE CABLE GUY: HEALTH INSPECTOR
Larry the Cable Guy plays a big city health inspector who's happy
with his usual beat of greasy spoon diners and low-rent ethnic
restaurants. But his easygoing life is turned upside-down when
he's saddled with a straight-arrow rookie partner (Iris Bahr) and
assigned the biggest case of his career: investigating an
outbreak of mysterious food poisonings at the city's swankiest
restaurants. Infuriating restaurateurs with his bad manners,
Larry still manages to charm a sweet, shy waitress (Megyn Price)
into a budding romance. But when his unorthodox methods cost him
his job, Larry has to go undercover to bring the conspirators to
justice and 'Git-R-Done!' Vitals: Director: Trent Cooper. Stars:
Larry the Cable Guy, Iris Bahr, Megyn Price, David Koechner,
Michael Papajohn, Phyllis Alexion, Brooke Dillman, Joanna
Cassidy. 2006, CC, MPAA rating: PG-13, 89 min., Comedy, Box
office gross: $15.655 million, Paramount.
LOST CITY, THE
Havana in 1958 was a place of pleasure for many, but others were
not happy under the rule of dictator Fulgencio Batista. As the
revolutionary forces of Fidel Castro and Ernesto "Che" Guevara
prepared to move on the city, Fico Fellove (Andy Garcia) -- owner
of the city's classiest music nightclub, El Tropico -- struggled
to hold together his family and the love of a woman (Ines
Sastre). Observing all is the Comedian/Writer (Bill Murray), an
ex-patriot American who sees his friend Fico being drawn into
events as the revolution changes everything. Though Fico watches
a culture vanish and a people transformed, it is his love of
Cuban music that keeps his memories alive. Vitals: Director: Andy
Garcia. Stars: Andy Garcia, Bill Murray, Dustin Hoffman, Ines
Sastre. 2006, CC, MPAA rating: R, 143 min., Drama, Box office
gross: $1.931 million, Magnolia Home Entertainment.
MANDERLAY
This is the strange, disturbing story of the Manderlay
plantation. Manderlay lay on a lonely plain somewhere in the deep
south of the USA. It was in the year of 1933 that Grace and her
father had left the township of Dogville behind them. Grace's
father and his army of villains had spent the entire winter
seeking out new hunting grounds in vain, and now they were
heading south in one last attempt to find a favorable location in
which to take up residence. By chance their cars stop in the
state of Alabama in front of a large iron gate bearing a thick
chain and a padlock. Beside the gate, a dead oak tree towers over
a heavy boulder with Manderlay hewn in monumental letters into
the granite. Just as Grace, her father and his men are about to
leave after a short break and a quick lunch, a young black woman
runs up to the car. She knocks on Grace's window. She hammers at
the glass in despair. Ignoring her father's advice to leave
others to their own affairs, Grace follows the girl through the
gates of Manderlay and there, she finds a group of people living
as if slavery had not been abolished seventy years earlier, with
white masters and black slaves. Grace believes that she has a
duty to make it up to the slaves for injustices they have
suffered at the hands of her kind: "We brought them here, we
abused them and made them what they are," as she argues to her
father; and she decides that having liberated Manderlay, she will
remain at the plantation until she has seen them through their
first harvest. Her father grudgingly leaves her with four
henchmen and a lawyer, warning Grace that he won't be there to
pick up the pieces when her plans for the resurrection of
Manderlay fall apart. Third in Lars Von Trier's American trilogy
(after "Dear Wendy" and "Dogville" with Nicole Kidman). Vitals:
Director: Lars Von Trier. Stars: Bryce Dallas Howard, Danny
Glover, Willem Dafoe, Lauren Bacall, Isaach de Bankole. 2006, CC,
MPAA rating: NR, 139 min., Drama, Box office gross: $.078
million, Genius Products.
