The River | DVD | (23/04/2001)

| RRP Starring Mel Gibson in his second Hollywood film, The River celebrates traditional American values through the Garvey family's determination to hold onto their farm against all odds. The drama opens with the threat of flooding from the river that adjoins the Garvey's land, then depicts their struggles through ailing livestock, accident and risk of crop failure. Add to these a local businessman, Scott Glenn, planning to turn the valley into a dam, a subplot echoing Deliverance (1972), also filmed in Eastern Tennessee, and all the elements are in place for an emotional triumph-over-adversity movie. Much of The River has a realistic tone, unflinchingly depicting numerous hardships, especially when Gibson has to earn extra money as a strike-breaking hired hand in a steel mill. Against this, and a surprisingly left-wing tone advocating cooperation over competition, the more upbeat moments resort to feel-good cliché with John Williams' lilting score seemingly wandered in from a Spielberg fantasy. Nevertheless the cast, including Sissy Spacek as Gibson's wife, deliver first-rate performances and cinematographer Vilmos Zsigmond expertly captures the harshness and the beauty of the land. The River was one of a trio of major US farming movies in 1984, the others being Country and Places in the Heart. On the DVD: The 1.85:1 anamorphically enhanced image is virtually flawless, capturing the many subtle effects of light on water throughout the film. Released theatrically in stereo, the opening and closing sequences demonstrate the power of a Dolby Digital 5.1 remix in generating atmosphere through natural sound. Elsewhere the audio is less striking, but always clean and powerful. Extras are routine: the US trailer, four brief biographies, and interesting though short production notes. --Gary S. Dalkin

ECW - Barely Legal | DVD | (26/02/2001)
from £N/A
| Saving you £N/A (N/A%)
| RRP The first Extreme Championship Wrestling pay-per-view production, Barely Legal, is immortalised on this disc, which returns the viewer to the hellish confines of the ECW Arena in Philadelphia in the spring of 1997. Stars of the upstart federation square off in a variety of matches, and the action is relentlessly brutal and bloody. The Dudley Boyz kick things off by battling the Eliminators for the tag team championship, but it really takes a few matches for things to get nasty. And when they do, watch out! Shane Douglas and his sidekick in a thong, Francine, get a wicked surprise from Ravishing Rick Rude. And Sabu and Taz, meeting in the "Grudge Match of the Decade", bloody each other while taking their epic battle into the crowd (which loves having the action brought even closer) before ending up with a table-smashing finish. A "three-way dance" featuring Terry Funk, the Sandman, and Big Stevie Cool features a ladder being put to some creative uses. And eventually the evil slacker Raven turns up in the ring to battle Terry Funk, who bleeds so profusely he needs medical attention. That doesn't daunt Raven, who naturally assaults the doctor with a table before resuming the battle with Funk. The over-the-edge wrestling in ECW won't be to everyone's liking, but the real hardcore fans will love Barely Legal. --Robert J. McNamara, Amazon.com
