13 ASSASSINS
Our Price: $26.98
Copies on the way

Takashi Miike's remake of the 1963 jidai-geki of the same name is faithful to the original plot, but the violence and visual style are all his own. Set in 1844 towards the end of the Shogunate, a sadistic lord, Naritsugu (Goro Inagaki), is in line to take the throne. Fearful of the abominations to come, some royals hire an elder samurai (Koji Yakusho, Tokyo Sonata) to sever Naritsugu's bloodline. In true mythic fashion, the swordsman assembles a small band of brothers to help lure Naritsugu and his army into a tiny, booby-trapped village, where the outnumbered men will pounce. Seven Samurai is an obvious point of reference, but by the big finale, we've learned less about the jaded assassins and more about the glory of going out in a bloodbath. Nominated for the Golden Lion at Venice. In Japanese with English subtitles.

1941 (SPEC EDITION-DRCTRS CUT)
Our Price: $14.98
Copies on the way

This epic-sized comedy about panic gripping Los Angeles in the days after        Pearl Harbor was bombed is one of Steven Spielberg's most atypical films. A      massive, all-star farce in the mode of It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World,    the film is a cartoonish exaggeration of a true incident--an overzealous       defense effort after a Japanese submarine was spotted off the California       coast. The lengthy list of stars includes Dan Aykroyd, Ned Beatty, John        Belushi, Christopher Lee, Toshiro Mifune, Warren Oates, Robert Stack, Treat      Williams, John Candy and many others. The film was the most expensive comedy   ever made up to the year of its release and, despite its initial poor          reception by critics and the public, it has developed a loyal following over   the years. The script was written by Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale, and John      Milius contributed to the original story. This restored, director's cut        includes 26 minutes that were not included in the original theatrical release. Steven Spielberg---USA---1979---146 mins.

Our Price: $19.99
Copies on the way

Light years ahead of its time, 2001: A Space Odyssey is a spectacular movie that looks even more wondrous as time passes.

Clarke and featuring the music of Richard Strauss. "A great  rapturous puzzle...a masterpiece that can still leave you dizzy with wonder...It is an extraordinary, obsessive, beautiful work of art" (Michael      Stanley Kubrick---Great Britain/USA---1968---148 mins.

Spike Lee directs this film about one man's last day of freedom before going     to jail for seven years on drug charges. Edward Norton is in fine form as a      man attempting to make amends with family and friends while struggling to find   any sort of redemption for himself.

In Danny Boyle 's reinterpretation of the zombie film, Cillian Murphy wakes from a coma into a London empty of people.
28 WEEKS LATER
Our Price: $29.98
Copies on the way

Even though Danny Boyle is only here as executive producer, the sequel to 28 Days Later is a surprisingly well-executed, stylish zombie movie befitting its predecessor. Picking up the post-9/11 anxiety of the first film and extending it deep into the U.S.-led occupation of Iraq, the sequel opens roughly 6 months after the rage virus has swept England and eaten up its citizenry. American troops have arrived to secure a quarantined area of London (a "green zone," if you will) for survivors to start operation repopulation. The fun and games don't last long. Director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, a relative newcomer, "has a fine sense of scale, shifting from a God's-eye perspective of mushrooming chaos to subjective, street-level reportage, and an uncompromising commitment to unrelenting dread" (Nathan Lee, Village Voice). Starring Robert Carlyle, Rose Byrne, Jeremy Renner, Amanda Walker, and Imogen Poots.

Juan Carlos Fresnadillo---Great Britain/Spain---2007---113 mins.

Copies on the way

A collection of genre films from Japanese arthouse director Shinji Aoyama. In    Wild Life (1997, 121 mins.), Kosuke Toyohara stars as a former boxer       who's thrust into a thorny maze of blackmail, deception, and yakuza violence     when his boss, a game parlor owner, goes missing. Aoyama utilizes a            complicated series of flashbacks to bring an exciting new flare to the yakuza  thriller genre. Then An Obsession (1997m 109 mins.), a paranoid,         nightmarish crime thriller, begins when a single gunshot forever changes the     life of police detective Saga (Ryo Ishibashi, Audition).

3 FILMS BY HIROSHI TESHIGAHARA
Our Price: $79.95
Copies on the way

Three works from perhaps the most avant-garde of the late sixties Japanese New   Wave directors. Teshigahara's debut, Pitfall (1962, 97 mins.), combines    a sociorealist critique of capitalism with a thorny murder mystery. An           itinerant miner (Hisashi Igawa), wandering the countryside with his young son, is hunted and brutally murdered by a mysterious assassin (Kuni Tanaka). The    killer coerces a witness to pin the crime on a union leader in hopes of        breaking a labor stronghold. As mistrust and killings spread, the ghosts of      the dead emerge. Teshigahara then rose to international prominence with        Woman in the Dunes (1964, 147 mins.), a symbolic and sensual adaptation  of Kobo Abe's novel about a photographer who gets trapped in a sand pit by a   mysterious woman condemned to shovel sand for all time. The director "builds     up the erotic tension...with extreme close-ups that transform the human body   into landscape" (Oxford Companion to Film). In The Face of Another (1966, 124 mins.), Teshigahara ascribes metaphysical dimensions to everyday    life. A businessman left faceless by an accident suffers agonies of exile a  nd  solitude until he acquires a lifelike mask through plastic surgery. This       allows him to lead a double life, but the mask ultimately consumes his real    identity. Metaphorically, the film confronts the chronic anxieties of          powerlessness and the uniquely Japanese terror of facelessness through nucl
3 FILMS BY LOUIS MALLE
Our Price: $79.95
Copies on the way

Three semi-autobiographical coming-of-age films by Louis Malle, a director who   emerged from the French New Wave and went on to amass a filmography of           staggering breadth, depth, and feeling. Includes Murmur of the Heart       (1971, 118 mins.), an affectionate and controversial portrait of a 14-year-old from a bourgeois home who develops complicated feelings for his mother.        Lacombe, Lucien (1974, 138 mins.) is a brilliant, poetic work that tells of a French peasant, rejected by the French resistance, who joins the Gestapo    instead. Malle's devastating depiction of the amorality of power inflamed      French audiences. Finally, Au Revoir les Enfants (1987, 101 mins.) tells the heartrending story of a friendship between two schoolboys, one Jewish and  the other Catholic, during the Nazi occupation of France.                        Louis Malle---France---1971-1987---357 mins.

3 WOMEN
Our Price: $39.95
Copies on the way

Robert Altman's surreal, dreamy look into the lives of three women living in a   barren desert town finds the director at his most experimental. Reportedly       shot without a screenplay, the improvisational film centers on Pinky (Sissy      Spacek), a naive girl with an unusual attachment to her co-worker Millie       (Shelley Duvall, in a Cannes-award winning role). Pinky's obsession is         threatened, though, when Millie begins an affair with a married man, whose     wife, Willie (Janice Rule), completes the trio, leading to an unexpected         series of confrontations and role reversals. "A film of immediate emotional    Robert Altman---USA---1977---124 mins.
