DVD Playhouse—April 2012
By Allen Gardner
Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close (Warner Bros.) An eleven year-old boy (newcomer Thomas Horn, in an incredible debut) discovers a mysterious key amongst the possessions of his late father (Tom Hanks) who perished in 9/11. Determined to find the lock it matches, the boy embarks on a Picaresque odyssey across New York City. Director Stephen Daldry and screenwriter Eric Roth have fashioned a film both grand and intimate, beautifully-adapted from Jonathan Safran Foer’s novel, thought by most who read it to be unfilmable. Fine support from Jeffrey Wright, Sandra Bullock, John Goodman, Viola Davis and the great Max von Sydow. Also available on Blu-ray disc. Bonuses: Featurettes. Widescreen. Dolby and DTS-hd 5.1 surround.
Battle Royale: The Complete Collection (Anchor Bay) Adapted from Koushun Takami’s polarizing novel (compared by champions and detractors alike as a 21st century version of A Clockwork Orange) and set in a futuristic Japan,...

A Night to Remember Directed by Roy Ward Baker Written by Eric Ambler Starring: Kenneth More, Ronald Allen, Robert Ayres, Honor Blackman With the 100 year anniversary of the Titanic disaster coming up on April 15th, one can expect an onslaught of television specials, films, and books looking back at one of the world's worst nautical disasters. Criterion's blu ray release of Roy Ward Baker's 1958 docudrama A Night to Remember is a strategically timed reminder that before James Cameron's 'Romeo and Juliet on a boat', there was this detailed, cinematic account of the sinking of an otherwise unsinkable ship. I think synopsizing the events that took place during the Titanic's maiden voyage is pretty much pointless at this point. After James Cameron's romantic take on the story became one of the top grossing films of all time, everybody seems to be familiar with the basic chain of events.
