Punishment Park [Masters of Cinema] (Dual Format Blu-ray + DVD edition)Punishment Park [masters Of Cinema] (dual Format Blu-ray + Dvd Edition)
Both controversial and relentless in its depiction of suppression and brutality Punishment Park was heavily attacked by the mainstream press and permitted only the barest of releases in 1971. However like Haskell Wexler’s Medium Cool (1969) and Robert Kramer’s Ice (1969) Peter Watkins’ film has established itself as one of the key yet rarely seen radical films of the late 1960s/early 1970s. Giving voice to the disaffected youth of America that had lived through the campus riots at Berkeley the trial of the Chicago Seven and who were witnessing the escalation of the Vietnam War Punishment Park was named by Rolling Stone as one of their top ten films of 1971 and has earned many admirers in the four decades since its release.Set in a detention camp in an America of the near-future Punishment Park’s pseudo-documentary style (continuing Watkins’ subversive innovations with Culloden and The War Game) places a British film crew amongst a group of young students and minor dissidents who have opted to spend three days in ‘Bear Mountain Punishment Park’. The detainees rather than accept lengthy jail sentences for their ‘crimes’ gamble their freedom on an attempt to reach an American flag — on foot and without water — through the searing heat of the desert. The pursuit of Group 637 — a lethal one-sided game of cat-and-mouse with a squad of heavily armed police and National Guardsmen — is contrasted with the corrupt trial of Group 638 by a quasi-judicial tribunal.Unlike Easy Rider’s mythologising of American counter-culture Punishment Park’s uncompromising stance and its uneasy parallels with Guantanamo Bay retain a powerful and prescient message in the post-9/11 present.Special Features: Newly restored high-definition transfer (shot on 16mm Punishment Park has been remastered from a new 35mm print struck from the restored 35mm blow-up negative held in Paris) 30-minute video introduction by Peter Watkins Full-length audio commentary by Dr. Joseph A. Gomez (author of the 1979 book Peter Watkins) Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing 40-page booklet with two essays and reprints

Rocky - Red Tag Box SetRocky - Red Tag Box Set
Rocky This is the film that catapulted Sylvester Stallone into the international spotlight and launched one of the most successful series of films in movie history This is the story of a loser a two bit boxer from Philadelphia who gets a second chance in life by being offered an impossible shot at the heavyweight title. Stallone's performance is as powerful as his character's punches in the ring. This is one of the most exciting action movies you will ever see. Rocky is the simple story of a man whom fate chooses for a shot at glory in what has otherwise been an ordinary life. And while this subject matter is nothing new it was unusual for Hollywood to release an old-fashioned 'feel-good' movie in the seventies a decade whose films were mostly unconventional in attitude and anti-establishment in tone.Rocky is of course a fairy tale but by grounding its characters in an everyday reality the filmmakers were able to make them seem real and alive. And making the major contribution to that sense of reality was Sylvester Stallone an out-of-work actor/writer whose faith in himself took him from utter obscurity to world-wide fame and fortune virtually overnight….. Rocky II It's the rematch of the century as Rocky Balboa takes on Apollo Creed in this powerful follow-up to one of the most acclaimed movies in film history. After club fighter Rocky Balboa (Stallone) goes the distance with the world heavyweight champion boxing fans clamour for a rematch. But Rocky having sustained massive injuries in the bout announces his retirement. Though he tries to make a new life for himself Rocky realises that he can't escape his true calling. The ring beckons once more and the 'Italian Stallion' must prepare for the fight of his life. Rocky III Rocky battles his most powerful adversary yet - the ferocious Clubber Lang (Mr. T) - in this hard-hitting actioner that comes out swinging with adventure humor and emotionally charged human drama. For what may be the most exciting and fast-paced film in the series Sylvester Stallone writes directs and stars with explosive passion and intensity. As Rocky Balboa (Stallone) fights his way into the hearts of millions life couldn't be better. He scores ten consecutive wins lands lucrative endorsement contracts and becomes famous throughout the world. But when Clubber Lang KOs Rocky in a humiliating defeat it becomes apparent that the Italian Stallion has lost his edge. Considering hanging up his gloves Rocky receives encouragement from an unlikely ally: his old nemesis Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers). With Creed's help Rocky strives to regain the eye of the tiger before confronting Lang in a grueling rematch for the world heavyweight championship. Rocky IV East meets West when Rocky takes on a vicious Soviet fighter who literally killed his last opponent! Sylvester Stallone writes directs and stars in this war between nations in which the only battle is fought in a boxing ring. Rocky Balboa (Stallone) proudly holds the world heavyweight boxing championship but a new challenger has stepped forward: Drago (Dolph Lundgren) a six-foot-four 261-pound fighter who has the backing of the Soviet Union. This time Rocky's training regimen takes him to icy Siberia where he prepares for a globally televised match in the heart of Moscow. But nothing can truly prepare him for what he's about to face - a powerfully charged fight to the finish in which he must defend not only himself but also the honor of his country! Rocky V The Italian Stallion rediscovers his roots in this exciting thrill-packed drama that reunites Sylvester Stallone with the Oscar-winning director of the original Rocky. Upon returning home from his latest triumph Rocky Balboa (Stallone) learns that all his money has been lost by an unscrupulous financial advisor. To make matters worse his fight-related injuries force his retirement from the ring. So Rocky his wife Adrian (Talia Shire) and his son Rocky Jr. (Sage Stallone) move to their old low-rent neighborhood in South Philadelphia. There the fighter must resolve the deep-rooted resentment held by his son a bitterness that grows when Rocky trains Tommy Gunn (Tommy Morrison) a young boxer who soon rises to national prominence. When Tommy turns against his mentor and publicly taunts him Rocky knows he must fight once more. Rocky Balboa Armed with a highly credible heart-wrenching story Sylvester Stallone leaps back in to the ring in this knockout final chapter as one of the most iconic characters in the history of motion pictures! Since retiring Rocky reminisces about his glory days for the locals at his Philly diner Adrian's. But his quiet world is shattered when the current reigning champion (Antonio Tarver) loses to a virtual in his-prime Balboa in a computer-simulated match and challenges the retired Italian Stallion to the real thing! Never one to back down Rocky does the unthinkable and agrees to the fight of his life…pushing himself to the breaking point to go the distance one last time.
