THE WEEK OF JANUARY 27TH



ROMAN POLANSKI: WANTED AND DESIRED

Special Features:

  • Interviews And Audio Commentary With Director Marina Zenovich And Editor Joe Bini
  • Deleted Scenes
  • Theatrical Trailers.

Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired is a documentary that I first caught on HBO. Sadly, this is the way I’m starting to see more and documentaries. But, this film was extraordinary in its ability to treat the material even-handedly. Too often, Polanski either gets portrayed as some Satanic figure in his 1970s rape case. But, you’ve got too many fans out there working to say that the art and the man should be separated.

The documentary works in its way to cleverly bend Zenovich’s central piece about why is Polanski still being trailed by the American Judicial system. Using Polanski’s words to defend and sentence him, we see a fractured man come into the identity that so many are willing to place upon him. It’s a tale of innocence lost and truth sought.

THE ROCKER

Special Features:

  • Digital Copy movie file for portable media players
  • Commentary with director Peter Cattaneo and actor Rainn Wilson
  • Commentary with actors Josh Gad, Teddy Geiger, Emma Stone and Jason Sudeikis
  • 10 Deleted Scenes
  • Gag Reel (including separate options of “Matt Gags” and “Vesuvius Gags”)
  • Rainn Wilson: Office Rocker featurette
  • Pete Best Interview featurette
  • Behind The Band: Vesuvius featurette
  • Rock Beat With Fish Fishman featurette
  • The Music of The Rocker featurette
  • Rock Tales featurette
  • MTV Film Festival Panel
  • Fox Movie Channel Presents…In Character With The Rocker
  • “I’m Not Bitter” music video
  • Four exclusive podcasts
  • Vesuvius Public Service Announcements


The Rocker works as a reminder that you can’t always catch lightning in a bottle twice. I’m a huge sucker for rock movies, but Rainn Wilson’s energies seem misplaced in this by the numbers rock power movie. Sure, I love seeing the hot-as-fuck Emma Stone get more roles. But, these films only work as vague reminders that you can’t truly rock out with kids. First time they O.D., you’re going to have Child Services all over your ass.


VICKY CHRISTINA BARCELONA

Special Features:

· Nothing

Vicky Christina Barcelona reminds of the Woody Allen that I adore. The auteur who created Love and Death, Shadows and Fog and Match Point is back. But, you’re also getting a little bit of Cassandra’s Dream and Smalltime Crooks thrown into the mix. Penelope Cruz is getting the Oscar love and eventual win. Not enough attention is being paid to Bardem’s ability to channel the nebbish nature of the Allen lead into something truly International and exotic. Hell, it’s more than what Hugh Jackman pulled off.
