Kurt and Courtney รจ un film crudo e disturbante su cause e circostanze del suicidio della rockstar avvenuto nel 1994. Il plot riguarda in particolare la teoria della cospirazione in base alla quale Kurt Cobain sarebbe stato ucciso. Scioccante anche se priva di reale peso la testimonianza del rocker balordo El Duce che racconta di aver ricevuto un'offerta di 50,000$ da parte di Courtney Love per sistemare Cobain. Il film affronta questa tematica con realismo e cinismo al tempo stesso, con uno stile investigativo molto interessante. Vincitore del Sierra Award 1998 per il miglior documentario.

When Bristol born Archie Leach changed his name to Cary Grant a new Hollywood star was about to be born. Equally at home with action adventure movies or in light romantic comedy roles Grant was the epitome of the suave stylish leading man. This box set features him in three of his classic movies - Amazing Adventure His Girl Friday and Penny Serenade and also includes a biography of Grant - Cary Grant on Film. Amazing Adventure: In an effort to subdue a bout of depression a millionaire playboy (Cary Grant) makes a 50 000 British pound bet with a psychiatrist that he could become a famous business tycoon without using his family's inheritance. Based on the novel ""The Amazing Quest"" by Ernest Bliss. (Dir. Alfred Zeisler 1937) His Girl Friday: This hilarious re-working of The Front Page by Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur sees Grant as the savage editor and in a switch the reporter played by scheming Rosalind Russell. This version adds the twin lures of sex and romance. The film moves at whirlwind speed as Director Howard Hawks instructed his actors to overlap their lines so much so that at times everyone seems to be talking at once. Hawks also had his cast move at twice the normal speed so the screen looks frantic from scene to scene thus conveying the urgency of the news world he was depicting. It's undoubtedly Cary Grant's greatest comedic role proving once again the amazing versatility of this Hollywood legend. (Dir. Howard Hawks 1940) Penny Serenade: Penny Serenade is the story of Julie and Roger Adams. It is an honest look at a happy if not exactly peaceful period in the domestic life of a newspaperman and a former salesgirl in a music shop. (Dir. George Stevens 1941)

The Island
Peter Capaldi, the writer and director of the vaguely amusing and almost engaging Strictly Sinatra, seems to have had two recent strains of British film-making on his mind: the Guy Ritchie school of modern mob capers and the post-modern urban Scottish noir of Shallow Grave and Trainspotting. Indeed Kelly MacDonald, who starred in the latter, appears in Strictly Sinatra as a similar rough-around-the-edges love interest. The film revolves around what happens when hapless Glasgow lounge-singer Tony Cocozza (played by the always capable Ian Hart) crosses paths with the local Mafiosi. Their initial mutual attraction is derived from the ability of the parties to support each other's delusions: Cocozza wishes he was Sinatra, they wish they were Sinatra's dubious cronies. But Cocozza swiftly realises that he has, as the song goes, bitten off more than he can chew, and proceeds, predictably enough, from doubt to epiphany to redemption to happy ending.--Andrew Mueller
