    The new film review is about Sophie's Choice

       
    Collector's Edition / Blu-ray + DVDShout Factory | 1982 | 150 min | Rated R | Apr 29, 2014 (2 Weeks)
        
    Video
    Codec: MPEG-4 AVC
    Resolution: 1080p
    Aspect ratio: 1.78:1
    Original aspect ratio: 1.85:1

    Audio: English: DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0


    Movie Information:

    The year is 1947. Aspiring southern author Stingo (Peter MacNichol) heads to New York to seek his fortune. Moving into a dingy Brooklyn boarding house, Stingo strikes up a friendship with research chemist Nathan Landau (Kevin Kline) and Nathan's girlfriend, Polish refugee Sophie Zawistowska (Oscar-winner Meryl Streep). There is something unsettling about the relationship; Nathan is subject to violent mood swings, while Sophie seems to be harboring a horrible secret. Stingo soons learns that both Nathan and Sophie are strangers to truth; the audience is likewise led down several garden paths by a series of sepia-toned flashbacks, depicting Sophie's ordeal in a wartime concentration camp. The scene in which we discover the facts behind Sophie's "choice" is a gut-wrenching one; it might have been even more powerful had not the film taken so long to get there. It is betraying nothing to reveal that the character of Stingo is the alter ego of William Styron, upon whose best-selling novel the film was based. The film is rated R, due in great part to a disposable scene wherein Stingo tries to put the make on a "liberated" female intellectual.

    A good comedy: "The War Wagon" - Blu-ray movie

    Movie Information:

    John Wayne and Kirk Douglas spend half of The War Wagon trying to knock one another off and the other half working shoulder to shoulder. Settling an old score with avaricious mine owner Bruce Cabot, Wayne plans to steal a $500,000 gold shipment from his enemy. Douglas, at first hired by Cabot to kill Wayne, goes along with the robbery scheme. Also in on the plan is Howard Keel, superbly cast as a world-weary, wisecracking Native American (it's the sort of part that nowadays would go to GrahamGreene). The titular war wagon is the armor-plated, Gatling-gun fortified stagecoach wherein Cabot's gold is transported. Thus the stage is set for a slam-bang finale, and director Burt Kennedy isn't about to disappoint the viewers. Best bit: after Kirk and The Duke gun down Cabot's henchmen Bruce Dern and Chuck Roberson, Douglas quips "Mine hit the ground first"--whereupon Wayne replies "Mine was taller."

    Great Blu-ray movie review: Seven Warriors

    Well Go USA | 1989 | 92 min | Not rated | Apr 22, 2014 (2 Weeks)
     
     
    Is it possible to roll over in your grave before you're even dead? Akira Kurosawa may have at least looked askance when his classic 1954 film Seven Samurai became John Sturges' Americanized The Magnificent Seven (along with several sequels starting in 1960 and continuing on for over a decade). Sturges' film at least had the benefit of a smartly rethought setting and some great performances, along with the director's trademark handling of action sequences. But the iconic Japanese director may well be spectrally furious with what has happened with some of his most legendary films since he shuffled off this mortal coil. One of the touchstones of 20th century cinema, Kurosawa's immortal Rash on, became the basis for a pretty dunderheaded follow-up called Tajomaru: Avenging Blade in 2009. But some twenty years earlier, Seven Samurai itself (themselves?) was adapted yet again in a fitfully amusing but ultimately pointless reboot called Seven Warriors. This 1989 outing is noisy, frenetic and even occasionally fun at times, but it's a pale (one might go so far as to say bloodless) reinvention of Kurosawa's original. Rather sloppily directed by Terry Tong (with the somewhat better fight choreography handled by Sammo Hung), and scored with what must certainly be one of the most inept sets of cues ever slathered onto a soundtrack, Seven Warriors lumbers about, attempting to revisit a lot of the tropes in Kurosawa's masterpiece without ever offering much of anything new and finally kind of sullying the memory of the famous film. 

     

    Best solutions: Convert/Rip DVDs for Sony Xperia Z2/Z1 smartphones

    Sony's Xperia Z1 came very close to being up there with the very best of smartphones in 2013, but was let down by a select few features that stopped it being truly great. Now we have the Xperia Z2 and with it, Sony appears to have addressed every major problem we had with the first generation Z1.
      
    If you have some DVD movie collections and want to watch the DVD movies on Sony Xperia Z2/Z1, you’ll need toconvert DVD to Sony Xperia Z2/Z1 supported format first.



    To get the work done, a 3rd-party software is needed. Most of you are likely familiar with the excellent Handbrake for ripping standard Def DVDs, however, it cannot yet decrypt the commercial DVD discs (ie: Disney and other animated movies) the way it can with regular DVDs, so you’ll need to add an intermediate step. Here Pavtube DVD Ripper is highly recommended to help you backup and rip DVD to MP4 videos to play on Sony Xperia Z2/Z1. 
      
    Frankly, the program is very easy to use for editing and conversion. I’ve had success using it to convert DVDs to Sony Xperia Z2/Z1 playable format and I’ve found the quality to be excellent, and see no difference when compared to playing the discs themselves. The time it takes to convert in this software is almost half that in other.
