Page 24 THE VILLADOM TIMES I • August 20, 2014 DVD releases (continued from Restaurant page) a vampire to do? They occasionally meet up in Amer- ica to rekindle their relationship and take in fresh blood like a drug. When Eve’s out-of-control sister Ava (Mia Wasikowska) visits unexpectedly, she threatens to destroy Adam’s hermit-like lifestyle. Under Jim Jarmusch’s direction, these vampires are morose, brooding adults rather than the current spate of angst-filled teen vampires. Jarmusch draws upon Bram Stoker, Ann Rice, and even 1930s Universal Dracula pic- tures to fashion a unique variation of the vampire. Per- formances are engaging, with Swinton a standout as a cultured intellectual with a passion for — besides fresh blood — music, literature and science. She would be a hit at a university cocktail party. The supporting cast includes Jeffrey Wright as a supplier of clean blood and Anton Yelchin as Adam’s connection to the rest of the world. The movie works as a variation on the vampire legend and as a metaphor for how the human race has sabotaged itself. Special features on the DVD release include a profile of director Jim Jarmusch, deleted and extended scenes, and a music video. “Rosemary’s Baby” (Lionsgate) is the 2014 NBC mini- series based on Ira Levin’s novel. It’s always puzzling when a remake is undertaken of a classic horror/fantasy movie. This new version stars Zoe Saldaña as the hapless Rose- mary, singled out by a coven of witches to bear the Devil’s offspring. This casting is the film’s primary flaw. Saldaña does not come off as the sweet, naive woman Mia Farrow played so perfectly in the original. It is tough to accept Saldaña’s Rosemary as oblivious to the machinations sur- rounding her. The supporting cast is uniformly bland. Patrick J. Adams is Rosemary’s husband Guy, a writer suffering from extended writer’s block who makes a deal to gain career success. The neighbors who shepherd Rosemary through a rough pregnancy, Jason Isaacs and Carole Bouquet, do little with their roles. They are standard-issue TV types who merely move the plot. Special features on the Blu-ray release include a making- of featurette and the short documentary, “Grand Guignol: Parisian Production Design.” “Once Upon a Time: The Complete Third Season” (ABC) contains all 22 episodes of the fantasy series’ third season. The stakes are higher than ever in the nightmare world of Neverland. Peter Pan (Jared Gilmore), an ageless entity with a diabolical agenda and a chilling secret, creates far-reaching consequences that will alter many lives for- ever, create new alliances, and introduce both Storybrooke and the Enchanted Forest to a powerful new villain of leg- endary wickedness — the Wicked Witch. Bonuses include “Wicked Villains,” an exploration of what motivates the villains on the show. “The Tale of Ariel” follows the adventures of the mermaid Ariel (Joanna Garcia), illustrating how her character is developed throughout the season. Also included are bloopers, deleted scenes, audio commentaries, and a behind-the-scenes look at how the writers develop their stories.
