Review Count of Monte Cristo (2002) (Spanish) (Sub) / Walt Disney Video:Revenge rarely gets sweeter than it does in The Count of Monte Cristo, a rousing, impeccably crafted adaptation of Alexandre Dumas père's literary classic. Filmed countless times before, the story is revitalized by director Kevin Reynolds (rallying after Waterworld) and screenwriter Jay Wolpert, who wisely avoid the action-movie anachronisms that plagued 2001's dubious Dumas-inspired The Musketeer. Leading a superior cast, Jim Caviezel (Frequency) expresses a delicate balance of obsession and nobility as Dantes, the wrongly accused Frenchman who endures 13 years of prison and torment, then uses a hidden treasure to finance elaborate vengeance on those who wronged him. Memento's Guy Pearce is equally effective as Dantes's betraying nemesis, and Richard Harris tops his Harry Potter wizardry with a humorous turn as Dantes's fellow prisoner and mentor. Filmed on stunning locations in Ireland and Malta, The Count of Monte Cristo easily matches Rob Roy for intelligent swashbuckling entertainment. -Jeff Shannon.

Review The Hand Behind the Mouse - The Ub Iwerks Story / Walt Disney Video:"The Hand Behind the Mouse" is the story of the man Walt Disney called "the greatest animator in the world. " There's not a person in the world who wouldn't recognize Mickey Mouse. But until now, not many knew the man who originally gave shape, movement and personality to the world's most beloved icon. "The Hand Behind the Mouse: The Ub Iwerks Story" takes you behind the scenes to meet Walt Disney's best friend and chief animator. Called a modern day "Da Vinci," a technical genius who brought the unimaginable to the screen, Ub's triumphs reign among the greatest of success stories. This documentary traces the exciting and challenging path he led in shaping the film and animation industry into what it is today. Narrated by Kelsey Grammer and written, directed and produced Ub Iwerk's granddaughter Leslie Iwerks, "The Hand Behind the Mouse: The Ub Iwerks Story" includes never before seen archival footage, previously censored cartoon clips from the 1920's and '30s and interviews with Roy Disney, director John Lasseter ("Toy Story," "A Bug's Life"), veteran Disney animators, actress Tippi Hedren ("The Birds"), film historian Leonard Maltin and more. Also includes two Ub Iwerks-animated Mickey Mouse cartoons, "Plane Crazy," Mickey's first cartoon and "Steamboat Willie," the first synchronized sound cartoon. This version is the unedited, full-length documentary (90 min. runtime). [+]An edited, 44-minute version of this documentary aired on Bravo. In this 1999 documentary, Leslie Iwerks offers viewers a look at the work of her grandfather, one of the unsung giants of animation and film technology. Ub Iwerks (1901-1971) was a teenager in Kansas City when he and his friend Walt Disney taught themselves animation. In 1928, Iwerks designed Mickey Mouse's physical appearance and animated the first three Mickey shorts almost single-handedly. He left Disney in 1930 to start his own studio, but his cartoons failed to attract audiences. In 1940, he returned to the Disney Studio, where he won Oscars for his work on optical printing and traveling-matte technology. He also revolutionized the animation process by modifying a Xerox machine to print the animators' drawings directly onto cels. Leslie Iwerks has assembled an impressive array of photographs, film clips, and interviews, including young Walt and Ub clowning for the camera in the '20s. But the viewer feels closest to the artist when his loose, vivid drawings of Mickey, Oswald Rabbit, and other characters are on screen. Hand falters when the filmmaker suggests the Hays Code and a shift in national mood were responsible for the failure of the Iwerks studio. Ub Iwerks was one of the great animators of the silent and early sound eras, but he was not an effective director. If the public failed to respond to his Flip the Frog and Willie Whopper characters, it was because they never developed real personalities, a weakness the reissues of the shorts confirms. Suitable for all ages, this 90-minute documentary is often cut in half when it plays on TV. -Charles Solomon.
