02.03.12 by Widge @ 2:57 am Comments on this: nada. Add your own.  It's Love Story, hitting Blu-Ray this month from Paramount. Here's what they have to say for themselves: Love means never having to say you're sorry... the heartfelt tale of a love of a lifetime, LOVE STORY makes its Blu-ray debut on February 7, 2012. One of the most romantic films ever made--and one of the most enduringly popular--LOVE STORY follows two young lovers who cross social barriers for the sake of being together and ultimately face the greatest crisis of all. The film became Paramount's most successful film to date when it was released in 1970 and made Ryan O'Neal and Ali MacGraw stars overnight. LOVE STORY received seven Academy Award® nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor and Best Actress, and won for Francis Lai's magnificent musical score. It was also chosen as #9 on the AFI's list of the 100 greatest love stories of all time.
The LOVE STORY Blu-ray includes the retrospective documentary "Love Story: A Classic Remembered", commentary by director Arthur Hiller and the original theatrical trailer. An unforgettable and poignant experience, LOVE STORY makes an ideal Valentine's Day gift. Categorized as: Contests

Here's what they have to say for themselves: Still high and Mighty! The ugly truth is closing in on pill-popping nurse Jackie Peyton in an all-new season of the hit Showtime series, "Nurse Jackie." Available on DVD and Blu-ray Disc, Nurse Jackie: Season Three includes all 12 episodes, starring four-time Primetime Emmy® Award-winning Edie Falco as Jackie. The series also stars an accomplished supporting cast - including Eve Best (The King's Speech), Peter Facinelli (The Twilight Saga), Paul Schulze (TV's "Law & Order") and Merritt Wever (Michael Clayton). The DVD and Blu-ray release also includes cast and crew commentaries, two featurettes - "Inside Akalitus," highlighting the career of Anna Deavere Smith; and "Jackie's Guys," with Paul Schulze and Dominic Fumusa - along with a gag reel and deleted scenes.
Confronted by her husband and best friend, the third season opens with Jackie facing an intervention. The series "straddles the worlds of drama and comedy with confidence and gutsy gusto," (TV Guide), and the new season further explores the delicate balance of Jackie's personal and professional lives, and how she can continue to self-medicate when all eyes are on her.

02.02.12 by Widge @ 1:51 am Comments on this: nada. Add your own.  It's The Tuskegee Airmen, out on Blu-Ray from HBO. Here's what they have to say for themselves: The Tuskegee Airmen, winner of three Emmy® awards, comes to Blu-ray disc this January. Debuting just days before the theatrical release of the George Lucas-produced film Red Tails, which was inspired by the story of the Airmen, the film is encased in a stunning 32-page hard-bound book featuring sweeping unit and historical photography. Featuring an outstanding cast lead by two-time Emmy® award winner Laurence Fishburne (Miss Evers' Boys, Tribeca), Academy Award® winner Cuba Gooding Jr. (Jerry Maguire) and Emmy® nominee Malcolm-Jamal Warner (The Cosby Show), The Tuskegee Airmen tells the story of the first squadron of African-American pilots allowed to fight for their country. It is 1943 and the Germans are winning the Second World War as the U.S. suffers huge losses on the ground and in the air. Four newly recruited pilots are united by a desire to serve their country, at a time when African-American flyers are not welcomed in the Air Force. Now, through the brutal demands of their training, to the perils of flying over nations at war, the men they call "The Tuskegee Airmen" must undertake the riskiest mission of their lives - to prove to America that courage knows no color.

01.31.12 by Widge @ 2:28 pm Comments on this: nada. Add your own.  It's Thurgood starring Laurence Fishburne, hitting Blu-Ray from HBO. Here's what they have to say for themselves: HBO Films' critically-acclaimed Thurgood was nominated for three Emmy® awards including Outstanding Lead Actor in a Miniseries or Movie for star Laurence Fishburne (Oscar ®nominee, What's Love Got to Do with It). Shot before a live audience at the Kennedy Center's Eisenhower Theater in Washington, D.C., the film is a one-man show that traces the personal and professional history of civil rights pioneer and Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall. This enlightening portrait comes to DVD and Blu-ray Disc on January 17, 2012; The release comes on the eve of the 45th anniversary of Marshall's appointment to the Supreme Court as well as being just in time for Black History Month.
Told in the first-person, Thurgood is a compelling present-tense narrative that uses a wealth of personal stories and anecdotes to show how Marshall's life and outlook were shaped, along with background images and archival photos of Marshall throughout different stages in his life. From childhood stories of his family and home life in Baltimore, to his college days at Howard University School of Law in Washington, D.C., Marshall recollects his triumphs over adversity to pursue a successful career in the judicial system fighting for human rights. Establishing benchmarks in civil rights advancement, Marshall tried the historic case of Brown vs. Board of Education before the Supreme Court, successfully challenging the unconstitutional segregation of black and white students in public schools. His achievements eventually led him to become the first African-American to serve as a Supreme Court Justice. Categorized as: Contests

01.30.12 by Widge @ 9:47 pm Comments on this: nada. Add your own.  It's The Josephine Baker Story, now on Blu-Ray from HBO. Here's what they have to say for themselves: Winner of five Emmy® awards including Outstanding Lead Actress in a Miniseries or a Special for Lynn Whitfield (Eve's Bayou) and the Golden Globe® for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Series, Miniseries or Motion Picture Made for TV for Louis Gossett Jr. (Academy Award® winner, An Officer and a Gentleman), The Josephine Baker Story comes to Blu-ray disc with all new bonus content featuring an audio commentary with Whitfield, writer Ron Hutchinson and associate producer Alisa Taylor. Outrageous, shocking, sensational - Josephine Baker was born poor, but achieved fame and fortune through her sizzlingly exotic and erotic performances. Starting life on the American Vaudeville circuit, success took Josephine to Paris where her semi-nude dancing causes an international sensation. Josephine's life becomes a roller coaster ride of love and rejection from both her lovers and her country. Whether she is semi-nude or head-to-toe in sequins, in battle fatigues or rags, her beauty and ambition ensured that Josephine Baker will always be remembered as the first, and possibly most loved, truly international star.
