DVD Playhouse—February 2012

By Allen Gardner

To Kill A Mockingbird 50th Anniversary Edition (Universal) Robert Mulligan’s film of Harper Lee’s landmark novel pits a liberal-minded lawyer (Gregory Peck) against a small Southern town’s racism when defending a black man (Brock Peters) on trumped-up rape charges. One of the 1960s’ first landmark films, a truly stirring human drama that hits all the right notes and isn’t dated a bit. Robert Duvall makes his screen debut (sans dialogue) as the enigmatic Boo Radley. DVD and Blu-ray double edition. Bonuses: Two feature-length documentaries: Fearful Symmetry and A Conversation with Gregory Peck; Featurettes; Excerpts and film clips from Gregory Peck’s Oscar acceptance speech and AFI Lifetime Achievement Award; Commentary by Mulligan and producer Alan J. Pakula; Trailer. Widescreen. Dolby and DTS 2.0 mono.

Outrage: Way Of The Yakuza (Magnolia) After a brief hiatus from his signature oeuvre of Japanese gangster flicks, »

Opposing Force (aka Hell Camp) DVD Review!

22 February 2012 12:05 PM, PST | The Movie Pool | See recent The Movie Pool news »

The Movie Pool joins the first-ever Opposing Force (aka Hell Camp) DVD!

The Set-up

An overzealous military camp commander (Anthony Zerbe) abuses a female soldier (Lisa Eichhorn) during torture training, leading her comrade (Tom Skerritt) to take serious measures to stop his brutality. Also stars Richard Roundtree.

Directed by: Eric Karson

The Delivery

Originally released under the title Hell Camp, this 1986 military drama pre-dates G.I. Jane by over a decade, but it was more brutal and not nearly as stylized as the later Demi Moore debacle. Golden Globe nominee Lisa Eichhorn stars as Casey, an Air Force pilot who volunteers for  a brutal survival training exercise, only to fall victim to a sadistic commander named Becker, played by Anthony Zerbe. Becker decides Casey must learn the harsh realities of being a possible prisoner of war, so he rapes her "for her own good." 

This doesn't sit well with Logan (Tom Skerritt »

The 10 greatest Rutger Hauer films that aren’t Blade Runner

22 February 2012 2:47 AM, PST | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »

From the 70s to the present, we look back through the sterling work of Rutger Hauer to bring you the actor’s 10 finest films that aren't Blade Runner...

For some, Dutch actor Rutger Hauer will forever be associated with a certain rooftop speech about tears in rain. But although his turn as doomed replicant Roy Batty in Blade Runner was a classic one, Hauer’s output before and since has been stunningly prolific. This list, therefore, is designed to highlight 10 of Hauer’s finest non-Blade Runner movies, with a particular emphasis on those that are lesser known – which is why we've gone for some older pictures rather than the more recent and mainstream, such as Batman Begins. And since this is Den of Geek, expect to find lots of action movies, horror, and low-budget sci-fi in the entries below.

One thing they all have in common, though, irrespective of »
