Bonneville (2007)
Starring Jessica Lange, Kathy Bates, Joan Allen, Christine Baranski, and Tom Skerritt
Directed by Christopher N. Rowley

Jessica Lange (Tootsie), Joan Allen (Nixon) and Kathy Bates (Misery) hit the road in Bonneville, a story about three friends who “come of age” for a second time on a trip across the great American West. Faced with the decision of a lifetime, Arvilla Holden (Lange) loads up her 1966 Bonneville convertible and, with her friends (Allen, Bates) in tow, sets out from Pocatello, Idaho en route to Santa Barbara. As they detour to spots like Bryce Canyon and Las Vegas, it doesn’t take long for the women to realize Arvilla has something unexpected in store. But what none of them realize is that what began as a simple trip will end up becoming a chance to rediscover themselves, their friendship, the importance of promises – and of letting go. Also starring Tom Skerritt and Christine Baranski, Bonneville unites three of the most acclaimed actresses of our time in a story that celebrates fun, adventure and living life to the fullest.

The year is 1944, and Allied forces learn that the Nazis are planning to pummel England with an all-out rocket blitz.

I was hoping the two Steve's would be doing audio commentaries for both movies.

All My Sons (1948) Universal. I just read is also being released sometime this summer. Been waiting for this one. Excellent story and acting, with Edward G. and Burt L.

CB4 (1993)
• STRAIGHT OUTTA LOCASH: NEW Featurette with Director Tamra Davis and Co-Writer Nelson George
• NEW Audio Commentary by Film Historians Alexandra Heller-Nicholas and Josh Nelson
• Theatrical Trailer
• Dual-Layered BD50 Disc
• Optional English Subtitles

Sex, Rhymes and Keepin’ It Real! Comedy superstar Chris Rock (Lethal Weapon 4, New Jack City) stars in CB4, an off-the-hook, hilarious look at the world of gangsta rap. Rock plays Albert, a.k.a. MC Gusto, the leader of the hot new rap group CB4 (short for “Cell Block 4”). The trio of CB4—MC Gusto, Stab Master Arson (Deezer D, TV’s ER) and Dead Mike (Allen Payne, Jason’s Lyric)—are living large as their hardcore albums blow up the charts. Their rise to fame takes an unfortunate turn when they’re caught up as subjects of a documentary by corny filmmaker A. White (Chris Elliott, Cabin Boy) and victims of a political campaign by Republican Virgil Robinson (Phil Hartman, TV’s Saturday Night Live). And when the reality hits the streets that these cats are just three middle-class kids posing as ex-con thugs, their world of money, power and respect takes a beat-down in the most embarrassing and ludicrous ways. This outrageous “rapumentary” is packed with cameos by real O.G. rap legends like Ice-T, Flavor Flav and Easy E, and studded with special guest appearances by Tommy Davidson, Halle Berry and Shaquille O’Neal. Directed by Tamra Davis (Billy Madison, Half Baked) and co-starring Charlie Murphy (Norbit and TV’s Chappelle’s Show), CB4 is a hysterical stroll through the streets of hardcore hip-hop!

Stranger on the Run (1967)

• NEW Audio Commentary by Film Historian/Screenwriter Gary Gerani
• Broadcast Trailer (HD)
• Newly Commissioned Art by Vince Evans
• Limited Edition O-Card Slipcase
• Dual-Layered BD50 Disc
• Optional English Subtitles

From Don Siegel, the legendary director of Madigan, Two Mules for Sister Sara, Dirty Harry, The Black Windmill, Charley Varrick and The Shootist, comes this first-rate western starring screen greats Henry Fonda (The Ox-Bow Incident), Anne Baxter (Yellow Sky) and Michael Parks (Nightmare Beach). Washed-up, alcoholic vagabond Ben Chamberlain (Fonda in an atypical role) drifts into a godforsaken railhead town looking for a woman named Alma. When that woman winds up dead, Ben finds himself wrongfully accused of murder by the corrupt railroad chief deputy Vince McKay (Parks) and his trigger-happy posse. McKay gives him a horse; some supplies and a one-hour head start into the desert before sending his band of cutthroats after him. Scripted by Dean Riesner (Play Misty for Me) from a story by Reginald Rose (12 Angry Men), Stranger on the Run boasts a strong supporting cast including Dan Duryea (Scarlet Street), Sal Mineo (Rebel Without a Cause), Lloyd Bochner (Point Blank), Michael Burns (TV’s Wagon Train) and Madlyn Rhue (It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World).

Very excited for Shenandoah with a commentary to boot. And another Henry Fonda western Stranger On the Run. Stranger on the run is a pretty good western directed by Don Siegel that also has a commentary. I love when KL give us a commentary on older classic movies.

Great news. A major gap in my Siegel collection--especially as I've never seen it at all.

 

[Gerani53]

STRANGER ON THE RUN is terrific... "the best western you never heard of," I've been calling it. All the actors are doing amazing work... every single one of them. And Dan Duryea should have won an Emmy for his sensitive turn as an aging lawman, his next-to-last film appearance. You'll see what I mean when you watch the film. Honored to have done the commentary track, and the 35mm IP looks great.

Sophie Marceau (The World Is Not Enough, Braveheart, Police), Francis Huster (La Femme Publique, Le Dîner de Cons) and Tchéky Karyo (La Femme Nikita, Dobermann) form the mad love-triangle at the core of Andrzej Zulawski’s L’Amour Braque (a.k.a. Mad Love), a postmodern, existentialist homage to Fyodor Dostoevsky’s classic novel The Idiot. A manic bank robber (Karyo) aims to take back his beloved moll (Marceau) from rival gangsters. On a train to Paris, he meets a neurotic dreamer (Huster) who assumes the mantle of the tale’s “idiot” and gets swept up in the ensuing maelstrom of love and vengeance. Brimming with outbursts of energy and eruptions of emotional violence, L’Amour Braque is a deliriously unique, perverse and bloody ballet choreographed by the visionary director of Possession and Cosmos.

I own the very hard-to-find OOP DVD. A BD is most welcome. Zulawski is a brilliant director.

Though, I was around back in 1967, I have no memory of this movie so I'm looking forward to watching it.

It was originally done for television, I believe, at Universal.

I saw it a few times in the 70's in 16mm; once at the Cultural Center during a Siegel retrospective and once in a class at NYU.

It's pretty terrific and Fonda is amazing.

It's very low budget, but the film has a visual elegance, a complexity in terms of composition, blocking and performance, and a moral depth that belies its origins.

I recall being on the edge of my seat through most of it.
