When you think of short stories like W.W. Jacobs’ “The Monkey’s Paw” or Richard Matheson’s “Button, Button” (adapted to the small screen for The Twilight Zone and big for Richard Kelly’s underrated The Box), dark images of death are conjured. The consequences of earning personal reward come at great cost to those you may or may not know. They concern selfish acts that will incite chaos and a purveyor of their too-good-to-be-true opportunities who relishes in watching the destructive path cut by fate’s unyielding need to balance the scales explode. But what if this story was flipped? What if instead of supernatural dread at the hands of a grotesque figure seeking moral bankruptcy, the chance to alter destiny came from a sweet elderly couple with God-like omniscience?

Like Crazy Trailer. Drake Doremus‘ Like Crazy (2011) movie trailer stars Anton Yelchin, Felicity Jones, Jennifer Lawrence, Charlie Bewley, and Alex Kingston. Like Crazy‘s plot synopsis: “When a British college student (Felicity Jones) falls for her American classmate (Anton Yelchin) they embark on a passionate and life-changing journey only to be separated when she violates the terms of her visa.”
I have heard about this film for some time (a Grand Jury Prize at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival) and now, finally, they release the trailer for the film. Love and long distances is something many people have gone through. The good thing about indies like this is that they take their time with the situations. They have no fiscal responsibility to bring in big box office numbers.
Like Crazy also stars Oliver Muirhead, Finola Hughes, Chris Messina, Ben York Jones, Jamie Thomas King, Kayla Barr, Natalie Blair, Iris Taylor Cameron,...

A look at what's new on DVD today:
"The Thin Red Line" (1998)
Directed by Terrence Malick

No, you won't be getting the hours of deleted Adrien Brody or George Clooney footage from Malick's World War II epic, but this Criterion version is most certainly an upgrade from the previous bare-bones DVD edition with 14 minutes of outtakes, new interviews with Sean Penn and composer Hans Zimmer, among others from the cast and crew, an audio commentary with cinematographer John Toll, production designer Jack Fisk and producer Grant Hill and more.
"7 Days" (2010)
Directed by Daniel Grou
Released by Mpi Home Video
French Canadian horror author Patrick Senécal adapts his own novel to celluloid about a doctor (Claude Legault) who intercepts the man (Remy Girard) who raped and murdered his young daughter and turns the tables on him in a cabin in the woods.
