This production of Dido & Aeneas was filmed entirely on location at Hampton Court House in 1995 where spectacular settings were created in the house and grounds by the Dutch designer Niek Kortekaas. Director Peter Maniura said of the production ''Purcell''s masterpiece is a miracle of dramatic compression. Inspired by the paintings of the 17th Century I have tried to recreate a rich filmic world which places a classical love story with its heroes and heroines magic and intrigue in a Baroque setting''.
Night Of The Living Dead: The radiation from a fallen satellite causes the recently deceased to rise from the grave and seek the living to use as food. Seven people barricade themselves inside a farmhouse while the army of flesh-eating zombies roams the countryside... Dawn Of The Dead: After securing an apartment building overcome with flesh-eating zombies two Philadelphia area SWAT team members Peter and Roger flee to a television station where they escape in the station's helicopter with Francine and Stephen - two station employees. Seeking refuge from the zombies and the ensuing hysteria they land on the roof of a Pittsburgh area shopping mall despite the fact that the undead seem to be flocking there... What begins as a stop for supplies becomes a longer stay as the four become embroiled in a futile war within the mall to consume retail goods and remain alive. The only difference between them and the zombies is that they aren't dead... Day Of The Dead: The walking dead have taken over the world and only a small band of the living survive. This motley group of scientists and soldiers are barricaded in an abandoned missile silo where the chief scientist is conducting grotesque research experiments to find a way of controlling the ravenous marauding Zombies. Tensions meanwhile become intolerable especially when the self appointed psychotic military leader discovers that some of his soldiers have been used as guinea pigs in the zombie experiments. A last ditch battle results in the darkest day of horror the world has ever known.
A fascinating chronicle of hip-hop, urban fashion and the hustle that brought oversized pants and graffiti-drenched jackets from the New York discount markets to high fashion’s catwalks and shopping malls all around the world. Reaching deep to Southern plantation culture, the black church and Little Richard with a rich mix of archival materials and in-depth interviews with rappers, designers and other industry insiders, the result is a passionate telling of how the reach for freedom of expression and a better life by a culture that refused to be squashed, would, through sheer originality and swagger, take over the mainstream.

Although Lewis Milestone had been American cinema's premier maker of war films for three decades, 1951's The Halls of Montezuma is one of his more marginal pictures. Milestone had already won an Academy Award for the single most honoured film about WWI, All Quiet on the Western Front (1930), and made one of the most distinctive contemporaneous films of WWII, A Walk in the Sun (1945)--a notable influence on Saving Private Ryan, by the way--but by the time of Montezuma the hallmarks of his directorial style--such as his syncopated tracking shots--were becoming mannerisms, and the screenplay's rhythms of personal crises set against the bigger picture of the military campaign are pretty mechanical. That still leaves room to accord the picture a marginal recommendation: it's well-cast, competently made, and free of "Hollywood heroics". Richard Widmark stars as a Marine platoon leader who, having brought only seven of his men through Guadalcanal, is determined to see them safely through the next island conquest. The lieutenant was a schoolteacher in civilian life--as we see in flashbacks--and one member of his command is a former student (Richard Hylton) he helped overcome fear. Other platoon members include ex-boxer Jack Palance, trigger-happy bad boy Skip Homeier, hardcase veterans Neville Brand and Bert Freed, and Karl Malden as a philosophical corpsman. However, the most arresting performance is given by Milestone discovery Richard Boone, making his screen debut as a sympathetic colonel stuck with fighting the Japanese and fighting off a miserable cold at the same time. --Richard T Jameson, Amazon.com
Italian master of horror Dario Argento's second directorial effort (and the centerpiece of the 'animal trilogy' of giallos) is a suspenseful murder mystery infused with the filmmaker's trademark graphic violence. Karl Malden stars as a blind man with a talent for solving puzzles who teams-up with reporter Carlo Giordani (James Franciscus) to launch a private investigation into a string of peculiar murders all of which seem to involve a dubious genetic research facility. The killer soon becomes wise to the duo's plans and will do whatever it takes to stop them from reporting to the police.
Frank Valera (Banderas) is a high-powered corporate defence lawyer who lives for his wife and daughter, but unfortunately has little time for them. Typically, he's stuck at the office, then in downpour-stalled traffic long enough to miss his child's talent-show recital. Remorse turns to concern when the duo don't return home that night. Later, police lead him to their slain bodies in a storm drain, victims of a mysterious crime. Valera then takes the law into his own hands to discover the truth, and get revenge. Starring Antonio Banderas (The Mask of Zorro, The Skin I Live In, Desparado) and Karl Urban (Star Trek, The Lord of the Rings, The Bourne Supremacy) ACTS OF VENGEANCE proves that payback really does speak louder than words.

It tells the story of the colossally self-absorbed painter and his self-destructive younger lover George Dyer (Daniel Craig) and begins when Bacon awakens in his studio one night to discover a burglar on the premises.
