Page 18 THE VILLADOM TIMES I, II, III & IV • February 22, 2012 DVD releases (continued from Restaurant page) find that their island retreat is about to become a terrifying prison. A blood-soaked stranger, Jack (Jamie Bell), stumbles through their door claiming an apocalyptic virus is sweeping across Europe, and suddenly their lives become chaotic. Using all means at their disposal, they must fight to escape the approaching threat. Suspense is maintained as viewers wonder about Jack. Is there really a virus? Did Jack concoct the scenario? Bell’s enigmatic nature gives the film an unsettling quality. DVD extras include a featurette and photo gallery. “Track 29” ((Image Entertainment) is a 1988 film directed by Nicolas Roeg (“The Man Who Fell to Earth”). Distraught and dreamy, Linda Henry (Theresa Russell, “Wild Things”) is unhappy with her sexless, childless marriage to surgeon Henry (Christopher Lloyd, “Back to the Future”), who is more interested in his elaborate model trains than in her. Linda is fascinated when Martin (Gary Oldman, “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy”) suddenly drops in, claiming to be the child she gave up for adoption after a teenage pregnancy. They spend time together trying to find a bond, but things are not what they seem. Flashbacks reveal that the 16-year-old Linda was raped by a man who resembles Martin. Is Martin the son she gave up for adoption at birth or a figment of her imagination? Roeg shows how Linda attempts to come to terms with a troubled past via an unpredictable and dangerous fantasy. He aims for a captivating psychodrama, introducing an assortment of ambiguous scenes and portentous musical cues, but the film ultimately falls short. “A Star Is Born” (Kino International), directed by William A. Wellman, is the original drama, twice remade, of Hollywood success and heartbreak. Esther Blodgett (Janet Gaynor) comes to Hollywood with dreams of stardom only to have them shattered. Waitressing at a Hollywood party, she meets movie star Norman Maine (Fredric March). He arranges a screen test. She is an instant success, and the studio’s publicity department sets about recreating the small-town girl into a marketable screen ingénue. Because the film is in the public domain, there are numerous sub-par versions available, but this new high-definition Blu-ray edition, mastered from the original nitrate 35-millimeter Technicolor print, is the only one authorized by the estate of its producer David O. Selznick. Bonuses include trailers, stills gallery, and a Technicolor wardrobe test. “Nurse Jackie: Season Three” (Lionsgate) continues the drama after Jackie’s drug intervention by husband Kevin (Dominic Fumasa) and best friend Dr. O’Hara (Eve Best). Jackie is under pressure at both home and work as she struggles to keep her life in order and feed her addiction to prescription pills. A new male nurse, Kelly (Gbenga Akinnagbe) is constantly on her case, and drug testing policy complicates matters even more. Jackie’s two daughters have enrolled in a new Catholic school, adding financial pressure to her marriage while her elder daughter, Grace (Ruby Jerins), becomes increasingly neurotic. Special features include cast and crew commentaries, “Inside Akalitus” featurette, “Jackie’s Guys” featurette, and a gag reel.
