Page 24 THE VILLADOM TIMES II & IV • December 5, 2012 DVD releases (continued from Restaurant page) The tone of “Catch Me if You Can” is light and contrasts sharply with the director’s more serious pictures, such as “Schindler’s List,” “Saving Private Ryan,” and the current “Lincoln.” This is a breezier Spielberg, as he follows Abagnale through his amazing assortment of audacious impersonations and his ability to fool trusting people. The film points out how easy it is to pull off so many lies. With the help of the right uniform, basic knowledge about a profession, or carefully forged checks, he is able to elude the authorities for a long time. DiCaprio fits the role well. With his good looks and winning smile, viewers accept that his Abagnale could charm his way through life. Bonuses on the new Blu-ray release include a behindthe-scenes making-of featurette, mini-documentaries about the film’s casting and musical score, a biography of the real Abagnale, a look at the FBI perspective on Abag- nale’s crimes, and a photo gallery. “Hope Springs” (Sony Pictures Home Entertainment) focuses on Kay (Meryl Streep), a suburban wife who is emotionally and sexually dissatisfied by her marriage to Arnold (Tommy Lee Jones), who sleeps in a separate bedroom and is somewhat robotic. After searching the self-help section of her local bookstore, Kay finds out about Dr. Feld (Steve Carell), a therapist who holds week-long intensive couples’ therapy sessions in Good Hope Springs, Maine. Impulsively, she books a trip for herself and Arnold. Because the scenes with the therapist are handled realistically, they are often uncomfortable to watch and can be as squirm-inducing to the viewer as they are to Kay and Arnold. Carell plays his role straight, though initially viewers expect him to utter moronic comments like his Michael Scott of TV’s “The Office.” Both Streep and Jones are believable as a middle-aged couple who have become complacent with a less-than-fulfilling marriage. Bonuses include a gag reel, alternate takes gallery, commentary with director David Frankel, and the featurette, “Inside the Perfect Movie Marriage.” “The Sound of Music” is a perfect show to see during the holiday season. At the opening night performance, there were several children in the audience in rapt attention as the story unfolded. The show will be performed eight times a week, Wednesday through Sunday, through Dec. 30. Tickets are $26 to $97 and may be purchased by calling (973) 376-4343, at the Paper Mill Playhouse box office at 22 Brookside Drive in Millburn, or online at www.papermill.org. ‘Sound of Music’ (continued from page 22) Processional,” features the nuns. Though a lovely set piece, it feels extraneous in a show packed with music. However, those who are moved by weddings will likely enjoy it.
