Page 30 THE VILLADOM TIMES I • April 17. 2013 DVD releases (continued from Restaurant page) the movie are real people and young Mr. Andrusco turns in a perfectly natural performance as he gets cotton candy stuck all over his face, collects bottles and turns them in for their deposit, and explores what is beneath the boardwalk. The high-definition re-mastered Blu-ray edition contains audio commentary by director Morris Engel, two short documentaries, a photo gallery, and a theatrical trailer. “Rhapsody in Blue” (Warner Archive) is a fictionalized biography of George Gershwin (Robert Alda) that traces the American composer’s rise from song plugger for a Manhattan music publisher to the heights of fame. After his first hit, “Swanee” -- performed here by the man who introduced it, Al Jolson -- Gershwin turns out hit after hit for Broadway and the movies along with his brother Ira (Herbert Rudley). While pursuing romances with fictional women Julie Adams (Joan Leslie) and Christine Gilbert (Alexis Smith), George composes “An American in Paris” and “Porgy and Bess.” The film co-stars Gershwin’s longtime friend, pianist Oscar Levant, as himself. Though hardly a definitive biography, “Rhapsody in Blue” contains terrific music, including the songs “Embraceable You,” “Fascinating Rhythm,” “I Got Rhythm,” “It Ain’t Necessarily So,” “Liza,” “The Man I Love,” and “S’ Wonderful.” “The Haunting in Connecticut 2: Ghosts of Georgia” (Lionsgate) follows a family’s nightmarish descent into a centuries-old hell. When Andy Wyrick (Chad Michael Murray) moves with wife Lisa (Abigail Spencer) and daughter Heidi (Emily Alyn Lind) to a historic home in Georgia, they discover they are not alone. Joined by Lisa’s sister, Joyce (Katee Sackhoff), they soon come face to face with a chilling mystery. Heidi sees visions of the Underground Railroad and it happens that the home is located on a part of the state where many runaway slaves were killed. Cicely Tyson pops up for a few minutes as a old blind woman issuing creepy, ominous portents, and there are rotting corpses, gruesome effects, and eerie old codgers for atmosphere, but the film depends mostly on cheap scares and ghost-tale clichés. DVD extras include audio commentary with director, writer, and producer; the featurette “Seeing Ghosts: The True Story of the Wyricks;” deleted scenes; and bloopers. “Future Weather” (Virgil Films) finds a bright young girl trying to spread the word about climate change while her personal world is collapsing. Launduree (Perla HaneyJardine), age 13, is forever trying to inform her rural Illinois community about global warning. One day, she comes home to her trailer park to find a note from her single mom (Marin Ireland) saying she has gone to Hollywood to follow her dream of being a makeup artist. Launduree is thrust together with her grandmother (Amy Madigan). The film works best as a character study of a youngster too intelligent for her environment and Hanley-Jardine does an admirable job of anchoring the movie. Bonus features include deleted scenes and the short film, “Save the Future.”
