Malcolm X (Two-Disc Special Edition)
•
Starring: Denzel Washington, Spike Lee, Al Freeman Jr., Delroy
Lindo, Albert Hall, and Angela Bassett
• Director: Spike
Lee
• Format: Color, Closed-captioned, Widescreen
•
Rated:
• Studio: Warner Home Video
• DVD Release
Date: February 8, 2005
• Summary: Spike Lee brings the life
of African-American leader Malcolm X (an intense Denzel Washington
in an Oscar-nominated performance) to the big screen in this sprawling,
epic biographical drama. Born Malcolm Little, son of a Nebraska preacher,
on May 19, 1925, he became one of the most militant leaders and charismatic
spokesmen of the black liberation movement before his assassination
at the Audubon Ballroom in New York City on February 21, 1965. The
film sweeps through his early life as a small-time hustler and thief
with his friend Shorty (Lee), his conversion to Islam in jail, and
his subsequent life as a controversial spiritual leader and husband
of Betty Shabazz (Angela Bassett). Malcolm's tragic assassination
is presented as a conspiracy of Nation of Islam leaders; the film
shows how his philosophy has been realized in the lives of others
who have been moved by his words. Filmed with great visual flair by
Lee, the film is a work of entertainment as much as it is a historical
artifact. Washington captures the spiritual conversion of the hero
with a sincerity that is entirely as believable and ultimately moving
as it was in the book that inspired the film, THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF
MALCOLM X.

violence in the course of their work.

Raging Bull (Special Edition)
• Starring:
Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, Cathy Moriarty, Frank Vincent, Nicholas
Colasanto
• Director: Martin Scorsese
• Format:
Black & White, Widescreen
• Rated: Not for sale to persons
under age 18.
• Studio: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
•
DVD Release Date: February 8, 2005
• Summary: With RAGING
BULL, Martin Scorsese’s personal approach to filmmaking is taken
to a whole new level. Shooting in a crisp black and white, Scorsese
tells the story of middleweight boxer Jake La Motta, played with incredible
intensity by Oscar winner Robert De Niro. As La Motta rises through
the ranks to earn his first shot at the middleweight crown, he falls
in love with Vickie (Cathy Moriarty), a gorgeous girl from his Bronx
neighborhood. Jake’s inability to express his feelings pours
out in the ring and eventually takes over his life in his dealings
with his brother, Joey (a brilliant Joe Pesci). Irrational jealousy
over Vickie, as well as an insatiable appetite, sends him into a downward
spiral that costs him his title, his wife, and his relationship with
Joey. As the out-of-control fighter, De Niro delivers one of the screen’s
most unforgettable performances. Pesci is just as intense as Joey,
who finally realizes that he is unable to tame his animalistic brother.
Scorsese and cinematographer Michael Chapman shoot the film with a
stylish flair that fills the boxing scenes with boundless energy and
adds immediacy to the endless arguments that erupt whenever Jake is
outside the ring. Simply put, RAGING BULL is one of American cinema’s
masterworks.
