From writer/director/producer Gurinder Chadha ('Bend It Like Beckham') comes the inspirational drama BLINDED BY THE LIGHT, set to the music and lyrics of Bruce Springsteen's timeless songs. BLINDED BY THE LIGHT tells the story of Javed (Viveik Kalra) a British teen of Pakistani descent, growing up in the town of Luton, England, in 1987. Amidst the racial and economic turmoil of the times, he writes poetry as a means to escape the intolerance of his hometown and the inflexibility of his traditional father. But when a classmate introduces him to the music of'the Boss,' Javed sees parallels to his working-class life in Springsteen's powerful lyrics. As Javed discovers a cathartic outlet for his own pent-up dreams, he also begins to find the courage to express himself in his own unique voice. Based on Sarfraz Manzoor's acclaimed memoir Greetings from Bury Park, BLINDED BY THE LIGHT is a joyful story of courage, love, hope, family and the unique ability of music to lift the human spirit.

After the success of Jurassic Park in 1993, the floodgates opened for digital special effects, and Jumanji is nothing if not a showcase for computer-generated creepiness guaranteed to give young children a nightmare or two. Whether that was the filmmakers' intention is up for debate, since this is a PG-rated adventure revolving around a mysterious board game that unleashes a terrifying jungle world upon its players, including gigantic spiders, huge mosquitoes, a stampede of rhinos, elephants, and every other jungle beast you can imagine. Robin Williams plays a man-child who's been trapped in the world of "Jumanji" for 26 years until he's freed by two kids who've discovered the game and released its parade of dangerous horrors. A chaotic and misguided attempt at family entertainment, the movie does offer a few good laughs, and the effects are frequently impressive, if not entirely convincing to the eye. --Jeff Shannon

Based on the true story of the building of a bridge on the Burma railway by British prisoners-of-war held under a savage Japanese regime in World War II, The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957) is one of the greatest war films ever made. The film received seven Oscars, including Best Picture, Director, Performance (Alex Guinness), for Sir Malcolm Arnold's superb music, and for the screenplay from the novel by Pierre Boulle (who also wrote Monkey Planet, the inspiration for Planet of the Apes). The story does take considerable liberties with history, including the addition of an American saboteur played by William Holden, and an entirely fictitious but superbly constructed and thrilling finale. Made on a vast scale, the film reinvented the war movie as something truly epic, establishing the cinematic beachhead for The Longest Day (1962), Patton (1970) and A Bridge Too Far (1977). It also proved a turning-point in director David Lean's career. Before he made such classic but conventionally scaled films as In Which We Serve (1942) and Hobson's Choice (1953). Afterwards there would only be four more films, but their names are Lawrence of Arabia (1962), Dr Zhivago (1965), Ryan's Daughter (1970) and A Passage to India (1984). On the DVD: Too often the best extras come attached to films that don't really warrant them. Not so here, where a truly great film has been given the attention it deserves. The first disc presents the film in the original extra-wide CinemaScope ratio of 2.55:1, in an anamorphically enhanced transfer which does maximum justice to the film's superb cinematography. The sound has been transferred from the original six-track magnetic elements into 5.1 Dolby Digital and far surpasses what many would expect from a 1950s' feature. The main bonus on the first disc is an isolated presentation of Malcolm Arnold's great Oscar-winning music score, in addition to which there is a trivia game, and maps and historical information linked to appropriate clips. The second disc contains a new, specially produced 53-minute "making of" documentary featuring many of those involved in the production of the movie. This gives a rich insight into the physical problems of making such a complex epic on location in Ceylon. Also included are the original trailer and two short promotional films from the time of release, one of which is narrated by star William Holden. Finally there is an "appreciation" by director John Milius, an extensive archive of movie posters and artwork, and a booklet that reproduces the text of the film's original 1957 brochure. --Gary S Dalkin

In 1974, Tobe Hooper changed the face of horror with his landmark ï¬lm The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Though the hulking Leatherface left an indelible mark upon the cinematic landscape, it wouldn't be until 1986 that the buzz came back in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2! Relocating the cannibalistic Sawyers to a cavernous labyrinth beneath an amusement park, Hooper's deliciously demented sequel sees local DJ Stretch running afoul of them when she gets mixed up in the brutal slaying of two youngsters. Meanwhile, Lieutenant Lefty Enright is hell-bent on avenging the murder of his nephew Franklin, who perished in the original massacre. Whichever way you skin it, Leatherface's second cinematic outing is an uncompromisingly delirious vision from one of the masters of horror. 2-DISC LIMITED EDITION CONTENTS ¢ Limited edition packaging featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Ilan Sheady and Dare Creative ¢ Booklet featuring new writing by Johnny Mains, Anna Bogutskaya, Guy Adams and Neil Mitchell ¢ Double-sided fold-out poster ¢ Texas Battle Land theme park postcard ¢ Chili cook-off recipe card ¢ Three double-sided collector's postcards DISC 1 THE FILM ¢ 4K restoration from the original negative ¢ High Deï¬nition Blu-ray (1080p) presentation ¢ Original lossless stereo 2.0 audio ¢ Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing ¢ Commentary with director Tobe Hooper ¢ Commentary with stars Bill Moseley, Caroline Williams and special effects legend Tom Savini ¢ Commentary with cinematographer Richard Kooris, production designer Cary White, script supervisor Laura Kooris and property master Michael Sullivan DISC 2 BONUS FEATURES ¢ Are We Not Both the Living Dead?, new visual essay by Scout Tafoya ¢ You've Got Good Taste: Cannibal Camp and Perverse Parody, new visual essay by Miranda Corcoran ¢ Stretch Lives!, interview with Caroline Williams ¢ Serving Tom, interview with makeup effects artist Gabe Bartalos ¢ Texas Blood Bath, interview with makeup effects artist Barton Mixon ¢ Remember the Alamo, interview with actor Kirk Sisco ¢ Die Yuppie Scum, interview with actor Barry Kinyon ¢ Extended interviews with Tobe Hooper and co-producer Cynthia Hargrave, from Electric Boogaloo: The Wild, Untold Story of Cannon Films ¢ It Runs in the Family, (plus outtakes!) on the ï¬lm's genesis, making and enduring appeal ¢ House of Pain, interview with makeup effects artists Mixon, Bartalos, Gino Crognale and John Vulich ¢ Yuppie Meat, interview with actors Chris Douridas and Barry Kinyon ¢ Cutting Moments, interview with editor Alain Jakubowicz ¢ Behind the Mask and Cutting Moments with Bob Elmore, two interviews with Leatherface's performer ¢ Horror's Hallowed Grounds, featurette exploring the ï¬lm's locations ¢ Still Feelin' the Buzz, interview with horror expert Stephen Thrower ¢ Behind-the-scenes ¢ Alternate opening credits ¢ Deleted scenes ¢ Trailers and TV spots ¢ Still gallery

It's hard to know who thought it would be a good idea to make a live-action version of Disney's animated classic. The one bright notion anyone had was casting Glenn Close as Disney Übervillainess Cruella de Vil; her flashing eyes and angular features are a perfect match and do credit to what is one of the most indelible animated characters Disney has ever created. The story remains essentially the same, focusing on Cruella's plot to kidnap the puppies of a young married couple (Jeff Daniels and Jolie Richardson) and make them into a coat. But the dreaded John Hughes, who wrote this script, fills it with sadistic slapstick and far too few genuine laughs. The human actors work hard, but to little avail; thankfully, there's a posse of puppies to regularly steal scenes when the going gets dreary--although there are only so many laughs to be had from inappropriate dog puddles. --Marshall Fine, Amazon.com
