The Man Who Wasn’t There (#1301)

Criterion | 2001 | 116 min | Rated R
Directed by Joel & Ethan Coen

The Coen brothers peer into the existential abyss of the atomic age in this coolly riveting, drolly profound noir thriller. In a performance of masterfully calibrated understatement, Billy Bob Thornton stars as a disaffected barber in 1940s California whose suspicion that his wife (Frances McDormand) is cheating on him leads him down a crooked path of blackmail and murder. Fusing the expressionistic black and white and hard-boiled poetry of classic noir with their own idiosyncratic feeling for sinister, surreal Americana, Joel and Ethan Coen craft an arresting vision of the cruelty of fate and the mystery of our place in the cosmos.

Network (#1300)

Criterion | 1976 | 121 min | Rated R
Directed by Sidney Lumet

This media satire, directed by Sidney Lumet from a brilliantly incisive script by Paddy Chayefsky, is an X-ray of the corrupted soul of a corporate-dominated America, startlingly prescient in its anticipation of today’s outrage-driven news cycle. At a struggling television network, ambitious executive Diana Christensen (Faye Dunaway) finds herself with a hit on her hands when disgruntled newscaster Howard Beale (Peter Finch) goes off script, transforming himself into a mad-as-hell prophet railing against the ills of modern society. But can she control the populist revolution they have unleashed on the airwaves? Garnering four Oscars, including for Dunaway, Finch, and Chayefsky, this no-holds-barred New Hollywood classic remains as fearlessly funny as it is unnervingly relevant.

Westworld

Arrow | 1973 | 89 min | Rated PG
Directed by Michael Crichton

In 1973, novelist-turned-filmmaker Michael Crichton made his directorial debut with Westworld, a groundbreaking fusion of science fiction and action-thriller that would prove decades ahead of its time, laying the groundwork for his later hit Jurassic Park and changing the face of sci-fi. Welcome to Delos, the futuristic resort where, for $1,000 a day, wealthy vacationers can live out their wildest fantasies in hyper-realistic theme parks. In the Old West zone, friends Peter (Richard Benjamin) and John (James Brolin) saddle up for adventure, unaware that their dream holiday is about to turn into a nightmare. When a malfunction sends the park’s android hosts off script, the Gunslinger (Yul Brynner, in his iconic black-clad role) begins a relentless pursuit, obliterating the line between simulation and survival. Slick, suspenseful, and eerily prescient, Westworld combines a gripping man-versus-machine chase with thought-provoking questions about technology, control, and the price of playing God. Packed with atmosphere and memorable performances, this cult classic remains a landmark in genre cinema – a high-tech nightmare that never loses its bite.

A powerful and dangerous cult, hidden on a remote island fortress, has brainwashed the daughter of a U.S. senator.

Their mission: infiltrate the island compound, uncover the secrets of the cult’s charismatic and manipulative leader, and rescue the senator’s daughter before she becomes permanently indoctrinated–or worse. From writer/director Robert Clouse, the auteur of Bruce Lee’s legendary Enter the Dragon and Jackie Chan’s The Big Brawl, along with a diverse cast of martial arts legends including Joe Lewis (Bloodfight 2: The Deathcage), Bong Soo Han (Kill The Golden Goose), Sonny Barnes (Black Belt Jones), Benny “The Jet” Urquidez (Dragons Forever) and Richard Norton (Mad Max: Fury Road) & Amanda Wyss (A Nightmare on Elm Street), comes this early 1980s entry in the classic martial arts action genre that’s “a lot of fun and that’s precisely what makes the film so entertaining and has a sense of humor about itself and is a very cute, little action picture” (Gene Siskel, Sneak Previews).

Loopy De Loop is a French-Canadian wolf with a mission- to change the bad image that people have of wolves and make them appreciated as warm and generous fellow creatures.

“Hey! A kangaroo,” Eloise “Honey Bear” Kelly says when she sees a baby rhinoceros being lifted from an African pit. A Broadway showgirl stranded in the African jungle; Eloise is more suited for the urban jungle. Yet one look at safari guide Victor Marswell and Eloise knows exactly where she wants to be.

Stranger on the Third Floor

Warner Bros. | 1940 | 64 min | Not Rated
Directed by Boris Ingster

Critics and fans agree: Stranger on the Third Floor is the little B picture that launched one of the greatest movements in cinema history: Film Noir. Peter Lorre plays the eerie title role in this once-neglected gem about a reporter (John McGuire) whose testimony sentences a small-time loser (Elisha Cook, Jr.) to the electric chair for murder. When the reporter himself is fingered in a second murder, he realizes both crimes are the work of a furtive stranger – but will anyone believe him? All the shadowy, shivery, angled angst of German expressionism is here, married to the hard-boiled ambiguity that marks the genre. The highlight: a suspense-and-sweat-drenched dream sequence that jolted 1940 audiences into an exciting new way of looking at the movies. This new Warner Archive Blu-ray release has been remastered directly from 4K scans of the feature’s original nitrate camera negative. This “stranger” never looked so good!

Tag: The Assassination Game

Synapse Films | 1982 | 91 min | Rated PG
Directed by Nick Castle

Before the majority of 1980s college movies were all about nudity, slapstick comedy, beer bongs and bad decisions, TAG: The Assassination Game gave this genre a killer twist. In this 1982 film noir-inspired gem, a group of students turns dorm life into a mock battle royale by playing a game that could never be done on campuses of today. The rules of TAG are simple. Players try to “murder” each other using rubber-tipped toy dart guns. If you are shot, you are “killed” and taken out of the game permanently until only one player remains. Unfortunately for this year’s TAG players, one sore loser is determined to win at any cost, even if it means murdering his competition for real! Writer-director Nick Castle, a frequent collaborator with long-time friend and associate John Carpenter, is widely known as Michael “The Shape” Myers in 1978’s horror classic Halloween. With his directorial debut, he demonstrates a knack for clever tension and spins this film’s concept into a wry and charming thriller. Forgotten for years, TAG: The Assassination Game endures as a cult curiosity — a sharp, stylish reminder that sometimes the most dangerous games are the ones we invent for fun. Featuring a star-studded cast, including a young Linda Hamilton (Terminator series) in her first motion-picture role, TAG: The Assassination Game also stars Robert Carradine (Revenge of the Nerds, The Big Red One), Perry Lang (1941, Eight Men Out), Bruce Abbott (Re-Animator, Bad Dreams), Kristine DeBell (Alice in Wonderland, Meatballs), Xander Berkeley (Candyman, Air Force One), Michael Winslow (Police Academy series) and future Oscar-winner, Forest Whitaker (The Crying Game, The Last King of Scotland). Synapse Films is proud to present TAG: The Assassination Game in its high-definition worldwide home video premiere, lovingly restored in 2K from the original 35mm archival vault materials. This film might not have made box-office history, but for lovers of forgotten gems and VHS-era ingenuity, it’s an A+ in retro suspense.

Tarzan and His Mate

Warner Bros. | 1934 | 104 min | Not Rated
Directed by Cedric Gibbons, Jack Conway

Hail, Tarzan and his Mate, the second (and widely considered the best) of the six M-G-M Johnny Weissmuller/Maureen O’Sullivan Tarzan feature films. But when the Hays office looked at the original version of the film, out came the scissors. And out (snip!) went a semi-nude morning swim, out (snip!) went the topless tribal women, out (snip, snip!) went warfare action and more. This edition of Tarzan and his Mate contains the long-censored moments-and recaptures the original vision of the Lord of the Apes’ life and love life. The story picks up a few years after 1932’s Tarzan the Ape Man. Tarzan (Weissmuller) has been living for several years with the Englishwoman Jane Parker (O’Sullivan), but now Jane’s former fiancé, Martin Arlington (Paul Cavanagh), comes to the jungle hoping to use her to find the legendary elephants’ graveyard–and its fabled treasure of ivory. Arlington’s arrogance and greed, however, lead to his gruesome death. Now, Tarzan races across the jungle, calling his friends, the elephants, to help save Jane from the same grisly fate.
