Page 20 THE VILLADOM TIMES I, II, III & IV • December 25, 2013 ‘Llewyn Davis’ (continued from Entertainment page) sees that Llewyn has real talent and could be successful were it not for his ability to disrupt his own life and the lives of those with whom he comes in contact. His tragic flaw is his own orneriness. The movie is akin to a day in the life of Llewyn Davis, though the events depicted cover a greater time span. The DVD releases (continued from Restaurant page) amazing action set pieces. Also available as individual Blu-ray titles are “Indiana Jones & the Temple of Doom” (1984), “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade” (1989), and “Indiana Jones and the Curse of the Crystal Skull” (2008). “Force of Execution” (Anchor Bay) stars Steven Seagal as Mr. Alexander, a mob boss with a military background who takes matters in his own hands when dealing with “business.” A prison hit organized by Alexander goes wrong, and it sets off a war between old rivals that involves a Mexican drug cartel and a former convict turned shop- keeper. The film presents a series of despicable types, many of whom do not make it to the final credits, and action trumps plot in this R-rated noisy saga of honor, vengeance, and mayhem. Seagal is fairly stiff with pretty much one expression: an icy stare that is supposed to intimidate. The supporting cast includes Danny Trejo and Ving Rhames. Bonus features on the Blu-ray/DVD combo pack include a featurette that takes the viewer behind the film’s story, and trailers for other action movies. “Nightmare City” (Raro Video) is an Italian zombie film from director Umberto Lenzi. Hugo Stiglitz stars as Dean Miller, a reporter caught in the midst of zombie hell. When an airplane comes into contact with radiation from a nuclear disaster, it causes the passengers to mutate into scab-faced demons with a compulsion to kill and a thirst Coens present an assortment of characters who interact with Llewyn in different ways, ranging from the vitupera- tive venom pouring from Jean’s mouth to the painfully candid assessment of his singing by record promoter Bud Grossman (F. Murray Abraham) to a rambling tirade by jazz musician Roland Turner (John Goodman). Rated R, “Inside Llewyn Davis” is a character study of a not very enviable person. Isaac manages to have view- ers care about Llewyn as the Coen Brothers magnify his unremarkable life for the cameras, vividly enlivening a 50- year-old era. for the blood of their victims. They virtually burst out of the plane and begin to stab and shoot the military person- nel outside. Miller witnesses this and tries to let the public know about what has happened, but Gen. Murchison (Mel Ferrer) wants the massacre kept under wraps. As the zom- bies move into the city and beyond, it becomes increasingly impossible to halt their grisly advance. The gore is abun- dant and almost non-stop. A scene in an amusement park overrun with zombies is particularly gruesome. The film is reminiscent of those ‘50s horror/sci-fi flicks in which radiation gave rise to an endless parade of monsters. The only bonus on the Blu-ray release is a booklet containing behind-the-scenes production information. “More Than Honey” (Kino Lorber) is a documentary by Swiss filmmaker Marcus Imhoof that explores the fas- cinating world of bees. It profiles small family beekeep- ers and industrialized honey farms. The movie covers the relationship between mankind and honeybees, nature, and the future of mankind. Honeybees illustrate that stability is just as unhealthy as unlimited growth and that crises and disasters are tampering with and triggering evolution. The film takes viewers all across the globe, from Cali- fornia to Switzerland, China, and Australia. Amazingly detailed macro-photography of the bees in flight and in their hives reveals a complex world in crisis. There is a detailed look at the breeding of queen bees, the laboratory process of a bee brain scan, and a hive facing the infection of mites. This was Switzerland’s official selection for the 2013 Best Foreign Film Academy Award. Special Blu-ray features include an interview with Imhoof, deleted scenes, an image gallery, and two making-of featurettes.
