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.

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.

Blu-ray Review: 50th Anniversary Edition of Beloved ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’
13 February 2012 10:35 AM, PST | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – Do kids still read Harper Lee’s “To Kill a Mockingbird” in school? Or do they just watch the movie now? When I was growing up it may have been the most canonical book of a growing child’s formative years. If I had to look back on the books that most influenced the way I look at fiction, it would certainly be on the list. And the timeless film would be right there with it, forever impacting the way I look at the art of movies.
Rating: 5.0/5.0

To Kill a Mockingbird
13 February 2012 7:31 AM, PST | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »
To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee’s classic novel about justice in the face of racial inequality and a youth’s first-hand report of when they ceased to be a child, has been a staple of American literature for years in spite of misguided efforts to have it stricken from the public consciousness for its use of racial slurs. What gives To Kill a Mockingbird its staying power? Despite its sometimes dated verbiage, it’s an unflinchingly brash portrayal of justice in the face of prejudice and a presentation of the man who just might be literature’s absolute moral good: Atticus Finch. To Kill a Mockingbird has so much to say, and it does so through the vantage point of young girl named Scout, giving the story an air of tragedy as we watch her realize that the world isn’t a fair place where the truth reigns; bad »

To Kill a Mockingbird
31 January 2012 4:17 PM, PST | Comicmix.com | See recent Comicmix news »
Few 20th century novels have been as warmly regarded as Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird. Currently a perennial work taught in high schools around the nation, it was an acclaimed, award-winning work when released in 1961 as the southern author tried to recapture her childhood life in a small Southern town. I enjoyed the book as a student, then a parent, and now that I’m studying to become a teacher, recognize it as a great piece of literature and great teaching tool.
She wrote in 1964, “I would like to leave some record of the kind of life that existed in a very small world. I hope…to chronicle something that seems to be very quickly going down the drain. This is small-town middle-class southern life as opposed to Gothic, as opposed to Tobacco Road, as opposed to plantation life.”
It was a story of rights and responsibilities, tolerance, »

DGA Awards vs. Academy Awards: Foreign, Small, Controversial Movies Have Better Luck at the Oscars
9 January 2012 3:41 PM, PST | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
The DGA Awards vs. the Academy Awards: Usually But Not Always a Match. [Photo: Marlon Brando and Maria Schneider in Last Tango in Paris.] Since 1970, when the DGA instituted the five-nominee limit, a mere ten directors of (at least mostly) non-English-language films have received DGA nods: Lina Wertmüller (Seven Beauties, 1976), Wolfgang Petersen (Das Boot, 1982), Ingmar Bergman (Fanny and Alexander, 1983), Lasse Hallström (My Life As a Dog, 1987), Giuseppe Tornatore (Cinema Paradiso, 1990), Michael Radford (Il Postino / The Postman, 1995), Robert Benigni (Life Is Beautiful, 1998), Ang Lee (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, 2000), Julian Schnabel (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly), and Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire, 2009). The above list can be expanded to twelve if you include Bernardo Bertolucci for Last Tango in Paris, which has a sizable amount of English dialogue, and Michel Hazanavicius' French-made but Hollywood-set The Artist. During that same period (excepting 2011, as Oscar nominations will be announced only later this month), 21 directors of non-English-language films received Academy Award nominations.
