Review Shoah (4pc) / New Yorker Video:To write a review of a film such as Shoah seems an impossible task: how to sum up one of the most powerful discourses on film in such a way as to make people realize that this is a documentary of immense consequence, a documentary that is not easy to watch but important to watch, a documentary that not only records the facts, but bears witness. We are commanded "Never forget"; this film helps us to fulfill that mandate, reverberating with the viewer long after the movie has ended. Yes, Holocaust films are plentiful, both fictional and non-, with titles such as The Last Days, Schindler's List, and Life Is Beautiful entering the mainstream. But this is not a film about the Holocaust per se; this is a film about people. It's a meandering, nine-and-a-half-hour film that never shows graphic pictures or delves into the political aspects of what happened in Europe in the 1930s and '40s, but talks with survivors, with SS men, with those who witnessed the extermination of 6 million Jews. Director Claude Lanzmann spent 11 years tracking people down, cajoling them to talk, asking them questions they didn't want to face. When soldiers refuse to appear on film, Lanzmann sneaks cameras in. When people are on the verge of breaking down and can't answer any more questions, Lanzmann asks anyway. He gives names to the victims-driving through a town that was predominantly Jewish before Hitler's time, a local points out which Jews owned what. Lanzmann travels the world, speaking to workers in Poland, survivors in Israel, officers in Germany. [+]
He is not a detached interviewer; his probings are deeply personal. One man farmed the land upon which Treblinka was built. "Didn't the screams bother you?" Lanzmann asks. When the farmer seems to brush the issues aside with a smile, Lanzmann's fury is noticeable. "Didn't all this bother you?" he demands angrily, only to be told, "When my neighbor cuts his thumb, I don't feel hurt. " The responses, the details are difficult to hear, but critical nonetheless. Shoah tells the story of the most horrifying event of the 20th century, not chronologically and not with historical detail, but in an even more important way: person by person. -Jenny Brown.

Review Mexico: A Story of Courage and Conquest (Complete 4 VHS Set) / A&E Home Video:This basic four-volume introduction to Mexican history begins with the Toltec and Aztec empires and ends with NAFTA. Learn about the history of the Aztec capital, Tenochtitlan, where present-day Mexico City now stands. Observe Hernan Cortes's conquest of Mexico for Spain and the poverty and harsh conditions in colonial New Spain that led to a priest, Miguel Hidalgo, raising a barefoot army against the king in the 1800s. The series reviews the tumultuous history of Mexico's missions in Texas, particularly the Alamo, and studies the compelling leaders Benito Juarez, Santa Anna, Porfirio Diaz, Pancho Villa, Emiliano Zapata, and Francisco Modero. This History Channel production also discusses Mexico's "Pastry War" with France, the Mexican-American War, the Mexican Revolution, Cinco de Mayo, and the PRI. Too cursory for viewers already familiar with the basics, this series may also frustrate novice viewers with its lack of maps and visual aids. While somewhat scant on detail and depth, this video will nonetheless be educational for viewers seeking a good general overview of Mexico's history. -Tara Chace This deluxe 4-pack set chronicles the blood and battle, defeat and victory that has made up Mexico's revolutionary history.

Review Meg Ryan at Her Best / Warner Home Video:City of Angels Some critics complained that City of Angels could never compare to Wim Wenders's exquisite German film Wings of Desire, which served as the later film's primary inspiration. The better argument to make is that any such comparisons are beside the point, because Wings of Desire was a much more deeply poetic, artfully contemplative film, whereas City of Angels is an enchanting product of mainstream Hollywood. Meg Ryan stars as Dr. Maggie Rice, a heart surgeon who is grieving over a lost patient when an angel named Seth (Nicolas Cage) appears to comfort her. She can see him despite the "rule" that angels are invisible, and Seth's love for Maggie forces him to choose between angelic immortality and a normal human existence on earth with her. Featuring heavenly roles for TV veterans Andre Braugher and Dennis Franz, the film liberally borrows imagery from Wings of Desire, but it also creates its own charming identity. Cage and Ryan give fine performances as lovers convinced they are soul mates, and although the plot relies on a last-minute twist that doesn't quite work, this earnest love story struck a chord with audiences and proved to be one of the surprise hits of 1998. -Jeff Shannon You've Got Mail By now, Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan have amassed such a fund of goodwill with moviegoers that any new onscreen pairing brings nearly reflexive smiles. In You've Got Mail, the quintessential boy and girl next door repeat the tentative romantic crescendo that made Sleepless in Seattle, writer-director Nora Ephron's previous excursion with the duo, a massive hit. The prospective couple do actually meet face to face early on, but Mail otherwise repeats the earlier feature's gentle, extended tease of saving its romantic resolution until the final, gauzy shot. [+]
The underlying narrative is an even more old-fashioned romantic pas de deux that is casually hooked to a newfangled device. The script, cowritten by the director and her sister Delia Ephron, updates and relocates the Ernst Lubitsch classic The Shop Around the Corner to contemporary Manhattan, where Joe Fox (Hanks) is a cheerfully rapacious merchant whose chain of book superstores is gobbling up smaller, more specialized shops such as the children's bookstore owned by Kathleen Kelly (Ryan). Their lives run in close parallel in the same idealized neighborhood, yet they first meet anonymously, online, where they gradually nurture a warm, even intimate correspondence. As they begin to wonder whether this e-mail flirtation might lead them to be soul mates, however, they meet and clash over their colliding business fortunes. It's no small testament to the two stars that we wind up liking and caring about them despite the inevitable (and highly manipulative) arc of the plot. Although their chemistry transcended the consciously improbable romantic premise of Sleepless, enabling director Ephron to attain a kind of amorous soufflé, this time around there's a slow leak that considerably deflates the affair. Less credulous viewers will challenge Joe's logic in prolonging the concealment of his online identity from Kathleen, and may shake their heads at Ephron's reinvention of Manhattan as a spotless, sun-dappled wonderland where everybody lives in million-dollar apartments and color coordinates their wardrobes for cocktail parties. -Sam Sutherland.

Review Martin Scorsese Presents The Blues - A Musical Journey / Sony:It may have been underrated when first broadcast on PBS on consecutive nights in the fall of '03, but executive producer Martin Scorsese's homage to the blues is a truly significant, if imperfect, achievement. "Musical journey" is an apt description, as Scorsese and the six other directors responsible for these seven approximately 90-minute films follow the blues-the foundation of jazz, soul, R&B, and rock & roll-from its African roots to its Mississippi Delta origins, up the river to Memphis and Chicago, then to New York, the United Kingdom, and beyond. Some of the films (like Wim Wenders's The Soul of a Man and Charles Burnett's Warming by the Devil's Fire) use extensive fictional film sequences, generally to good effect. There's also plenty of documentary footage, interviews, and contemporary studio performances recorded especially for these films. The last are among the best aspects of the DVDs, as the bonus material features the set's only complete tunes. Lou Reed's "See That My Grave Is Kept Clean" and the ElektriK Mud Kats' (with Chuck D. of Public Enemy) hip-hop-cum-traditional updating of Muddy Waters's "Mannish Boy" are among the best of them; on the other hand, a rendition of "Cry Me a River" by Lulu (?!) is a curious choice, even with Jeff Beck on hand. The absence of lengthier vintage clips, meanwhile, is the principal drawback. For that reason alone, Clint Eastwood's Piano Blues is the best of the lot; a musician himself, Eastwood simply lets the players play, which means we get extensive file footage of the likes of Art Tatum, Oscar Peterson, and Nat "King" Cole, as well as new performances by Ray Charles, Dr. John, and others. [+]
Overall, this is a set to savor, a worthwhile investment guaranteed to grow on you over the course of repeated viewings. -Sam Graham.

Review In Celebration: 125 Years at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (Glories of Medieval Art: The Cloisters/ Masterpieces of the Met/ Merchants and Masterpieces) / Homevision:A trip to New York City is not complete without an exploration of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The Met is a true place of beauty, not only for its collection, but also for the exquisite manner in which its art is displayed. In Celebration is a three-video program that presents New York's treasured Metropolitan Museum of Art on its 125th birthday. Narrated by museum director Philippe de Montebello, In Celebration presents the history of the museum and its founders while escorting viewers on a tour of some of the museum's most powerful masterpieces. Volume 1, Merchants and Masterpieces, profiles the benefactors whose money, vision, and priceless collections built the museum into one of the greatest art institutions in the United States. This volume includes rare archival footage, location photography, and a look behind the art in search of the people who originally collected and lived with these works. Volume 2, Masterpieces of the Met, shows what makes the Met such an incredible museum: the artwork. This volume displays diverse works, from ancient Egyptian relics to Jackson Pollock's Autumn Rhythm, from Monet's Terrace at Sainte-Adresse to Pompeiian frescoes, from modern cubism to Rembrandt's mesmerizing self-portrait. De Montebello's knowledgeable commentary describes the importance of the pieces in the world of art, their place in history, and their importance to the Met. In volume 3, Glories of Medieval Art: The Cloisters, the tour continues on the Upper West Side of Manhattan at the branch dedicated to art of the Middle Ages. [+]
On display amid medieval gardens and Gothic architecture are the famed collection of Unicorn Tapestries, Robert Campin's Annunciation Altarpiece, and the unique stained glass windows of the Cloisters. If you can't get to the Met, In Celebration: 125 Years at the Metropolitan Museum of Art is the perfect way to whet your aesthetic appetite for great art. -Rob Bracco Encasing three of our most popular art programs, this deluxe boxed set celebrates the glory and achievement of The Metropolitan Museum of Art. All three tapes, which were produced by the Met, have been beautifully repackaged to commemorate the 125th anniversary of this magnificent art museum.

Review Hullabaloo 1-4 / Mpi Home Video:The short-lived (1965-66) Shindig! knockoff Hullabaloo epitomizes the often-faltering steps U. S. network television made to keep up with the explosion of rock & roll culture in the wake of Beatlemania. Sometimes inspired, sometimes silly (definitely the latter with hosts and guests like Jerry Lewis, Michael Landon, Freddie and the Dreamers, and Vikki Carr), seven episodes plus bonus performances fill this DVD compilation of previous VHS releases. Over its four and a half hours, in black-and-white and color, true rockers ranging from Chuck Berry, the Lovin' Spoonful, Martha and the Vandellas, and the Animals slam into the slightly clueless (Chad & Jill) and the utterly hopeless (Joanie Sommers, Frankie Avalon, the aforementioned Freddie). Moments of irrepressible pop genius (Marvin Gaye's "Ain't That Peculiar") and sheer drama (Dionne Warwick's "Message to Michael") make this a must, though. Throw in a bit of apparent collusion between an NBC director and Byrd Roger McGuinn as he aims the "Your sons and daughters are beyond your command" verse of "The Times They Are A-Changin'" in extreme close-up to millions of American parents, and Hullabaloo's ultimate success is demonstrated. -Rickey Wright.
