My Breakfast With Blassie - $14.99 In essentially a two-man tour-de-force that parodies the better-known Dinner with Andre by Louis Malle, My Breakfast with Blassie features the late Andy Kaufman (he died from lung cancer soon after this film was released) and Freddie Blassie as two egocentric wrestlers — roles they played in real life. As the two men display their egos like peacocks strutting their plumage, the reactions of people around them are as funny as the “breakfasting” duo. Kaufman announces “I’m a famous TV star” (he played Latka, the foreign mechanic on Taxi) and Blassie’s open male chauvinism is so exaggerated as to be only humorous. The two also poke fun at banal table talk in-between their interchanges and develop a few other running gags. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi |

Italian Giallo Collection [3 Discs] – Widescreen Dolby $24.99 Includes:Blood and Black Lace (1964) The Bird with the Crystal Plumage (1969), MPAA Rating: PG Watch Me When I Kill (1977), MPAA Rating: R Blood and Black Lace Director Mario Bava’s second thriller revolves around a fashion salon owned by wealthy Cristina (Eva Bartok) and her greedy lover Max (Cameron Mitchell). The salon is a front for cocaine-trafficking and blackmail, so when model Isabella (Lea Kruger) is viciously strangled, leaving a detailed diary behind, many of the people connected with the salon become very nervous. Isabella’s roommate Nicole (Arianna Gorini) finds the diary and soon has her throat clawed out with a piece of medieval armor. Peggy (Mary Arden), who borrowed abortion money from Isabella, is tortured and has her face pressed into a red-hot iron. The bodies continue to pile up until a conspiracy is exposed and the perpetrators start getting their just desserts. Luciano Pigozzi, Massimo Righi, and Claude Dantes are among the cast. ~ Robert Firsching, Rovi The Bird with the Crystal Plumage This trend-setting thriller put its director, Dario Argento, on the international map and began a flood of imitative mystery-horror hybrids which dominated Italian genre output in the early 1970s. Tony Musante, best known for the television series Toma, portrays an American who witnesses the murder of a woman at a trendy Rome art gallery. Before long, Musante finds himself targeted by a mysterious killer. Based on a story by Byron Edgar Wallace, Bird and hints at the flamboyance which would become Argento’s trademark. This and Argento’s subsequent two films Il Gatto a Nove Code and Quattro Mosche di Velluto Grigio were much less horror-oriented than his later work. ~ Robert Firsching, Rovi Watch Me When I Kill Borrowing heavily from the work of Dario Argento, this well-made giallo thriller from Italian filmmaker Antonio Bido concerns a singer who witnesses a murder, and the efforts of her boyfriend (Corrado Pani) to track down the killer. More deaths follow, including a fairly gruesome fricaseeing of a victim’s face as she cooks dinner. Paola Tedesco co-stars with Franco Citti, Giuseppe Addobbati, and Paolo Malco. ~ Robert Firsching, Rovi |

Shark Swarm – Widescreen $6.99 Tourist season sets the stage for terror when a greedy developer attempts to transform a quiet California fishing town into a gaudy tourist trap, and a swarm of man-eating Great Whites begin devouring anyone who dares venture into the once-peaceful waters. Decades of dumping has turned the Pacific Ocean into a toxic cesspool, and while some species died out others somehow managed to survive and adapt. Full Moon Bay is a sleepy seaside town populated primarily by fisherman, though slimy industrial millionaire Hamilton Lux (Armand Assante) is planning to rape the land a reap a profit. Should Lux have his way, overpriced shops will flank historic landmarks and a luxury resort will draw tourists from around the world. Of course this will put a stranglehold on the local business, such as the nearby fishery fun by Daniel (John Schneider) and Brook Wilder (Daryl Hannah). Wilder isn’t about to go down without a fight though, and though he’s never seen eye to eye with his estranged brother Phillip (Roark Critchlow) – a noted professor and environmental expert – the siblings are about to reunite to fight for a common cause. Just as Phillip returns to town, word emerges that a number of locals have been torn to shreds and eaten alive after venturing into in bay. When Marine biologist Amy Zuckermann (Heather McComb) arrives to survey Lex’s developments, she makes a most disturbing discovery – a beached bull shark with sensory organs that still display predatory instincts even after death. As if this news wasn’t horrifying enough, Amy discovers that a swarm of Great White sharks are stalking the waters and killing for pleasure. Each day the number of sharks grows, and each day they become more violent. With the sun shining bright and the tourists turning up in droves, Amy, Daniel, and Brook must figure out a way to stop these killing machines before the feast begins. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi |

Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus $39.99 Personnel: Charles Mingus (piano, bass); Jerome Richardson (soprano & baritone saxophones); Eric Dolphy (alto saxophone, flute); Charles Mariano (alto saxophone); Dick Hafer (tenor saxophone, flute); Booker Ervin (tenor saxophone); Eddie Preston, Richard Williams, Rolf Ericson (trumpets); Britt Woodman, Quentin Jackson (trombones); Don Butterfield (tuba); Jaki Byard (piano); Jay Berliner (guitar); Walter Perkins, Dannie Richmond (drums).Recorded January 20 and September 20, 1963. Includes liner notes by Nat Hentoff.Digitally remastered by Erick Labson.For bassist/composer Charles Mingus, many of the leading edge trends of the late ’50s-early ’60s did not significantly alter his musical outlook–an outlook he had been nurturing since the 1940s when he first made his mark as Baron Mingus. “Mingus, The Composer” was Charlie Parker’s affectionate commission for the Californian bassist, who first made waves with “Mingus Fingers” for Lionel Hampton’s big band in 1948. As a result, when Miles came along with fresh notions of modality, Mingus could point to his own decade-long work with pedal point. Likewise, when Ornette Coleman introduced his free form, non-chordal approach to blues and modern jazz, Mingus responded with his legendary Booker Ervin/Eric Dolphy/Ted Curson/Dannie Richmond ensemble (MINGUS AT ANTIBES), extending on ideas he’d been developing for years (“Pithecanthropus Erectus”).Part of what makes MINGUS MINGUS MINGUS MINGUS MINGUS such a rich, enduring, listening experience is in the way it delineates the major themes and streams in Mingus’ writing, and all of his idiomatic gestures and tonal colors. The rough-hewn polyphony of “II B.S.” (a kissing cousin of “Haitian Fight Song”) is driven along by the composer’s indomitable, thrusting bass line, reflecting the experience of early New Orleans ensembles. Multiple voices syncopate to create a rich melodic fabric and ferocious rhythmic intensity, spotlighting the sanctified tenor voice of Booker Ervin. On his own “I X Love” and a brilliant cover of Ellington’s “Mood Indigo,” Mingus displays a genius for film noir textures and elaborate timbral contrasts worthy of the Duke.”Celia” also begins with Ellingtonian plumage, but in its use of contrasting tempos and wildly divergent reed and brass voicings (from tuba and baritone sax on up to flutes and oboes) Mingus zeroes in on his own particular brand of emotional turbulence. In a corresponding mode, there’s his rocking arrangement of “Better Get Hit In Yo’ Soul,” with its fleet 6/8 pulse, old time hosannas and the roaring commentary of an unruly congregation. Equally famous is Mingus’ tender portrayal of Lester Young on “Goodbye Porkpie Hat,” with its piping reeds, moaning brass and signature Ervin solo. Mingus announces “Hora Decubitus” with some resounding double-stops, before launching into a fierce display of swing and ensemble interplay, culminating in some Eric Dolphy fireworks. And in a remarkable coda to the original sessions, there’s th |

While local crocodile hunter Hawkins (Madsen) is ready and willing to track down the man-eating monster, he begins to suspect that he’s dealing with a more powerful force than he ever imagined as the body count continues to rise, and the blood-curdling screams of the locals echo eerily through the treacherous swamps. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi Shark Swarm Tourist season sets the stage for terror when a greedy developer attempts to transform a quiet California fishing town into a gaudy tourist trap, and a swarm of man-eating Great Whites begin devouring anyone who dares venture into the once-peaceful waters.
