Page 22 THE VILLADOM TIMES I & III • November 12, 2014 DVD releases (continued from Restaurant page) happened there. This time, however, she is determined to unravel the mystery that has haunted her for so long and, with the help of a local priest, give both her loved ones and her own spirits their much-needed peace. Director Hidalgo makes creepy use of sound to both scare and ignite curiosity. The movie virtually drips with atmosphere and takes its time to build suspense. The only extra on the DVD release is the theatrical trailer. “The Carol Burnett Show Ultimate Edition” (Star Vista) is a gift to fans of the classic comedy/variety series that ran on CBS from 1967 to 1979. The lifespan of other ‘70s variety series seldom exceeded two seasons, and their total number had dwindled greatly since the 1950s. The small nucleus of Burnett’s regular cast remained constant for sev- eral years, with none of the original crew departing until 1974. They included Harvey Korman, Lyle Waggoner, and Vicki Lawrence. Frequent guest Tim Conway became a regular from 1975 to 1979. Each episode included Burnett answering questions from the studio audience. The format included comedy sketches that spoofed TV series, popular movies, or well-known celebrities. Recurring comic characterizations included the inept blonde office worker in “Mr. Tudball and Mrs. Wig- gins;” “Ed and Eunice,” featuring Burnett and Korman as an unhappily married couple at odds with Eunice’s mother, played by Lawrence (this sketch was expanded to “Mama’s Family,” which ran as a series on NBC); and “As the Stom- ach Turns,” a continuing soap opera satire. Guest stars included Betty White, Roddy McDowall, Maggie Smith, Bernadette Peters, Jim Nabors, and Steve Martin. The 22-DVD set features 50 uncut episodes, which include musical performances by The Pointer Sisters and The Jackson 5. There also are over 20 hours of bonus mate- rial (including two episodes of “The Garry Moore Show” and 2004 interviews with Korman and Conway). Fans will be happy to learn that the elaborate spoof of “Gone with the Wind” is included. “Patema Inverted” (Cinedigm) is an anime perspective- twisting science-fiction adventure about two people sepa- rated by opposite gravities. Fourteen-year-old Patema lives in an underground world. Although she is a princess, she is held back by the rules imposed by her clan’s elders. One day, she explores a forbidden zone and tumbles headlong into a void and out into the wide open world above the sur- face, a place with reversed physics where she could “fall up” into the sky and be lost forever. Age is a student on this surface world and part of a society whose compliant population has been brainwashed against the “sinners who fell into the sky.” When he spies Patema hanging upside down from a tree, he pulls her down to safety, struggling to keep her earthbound as she grips on to him for dear life. Together, they master the art of navigat- ing competing gravitational forces and set out to discover the secret that keeps their worlds apart. Director Yasuhiro Yoshiura moves the story along briskly while playing with perspective and composing several wildly imaginative images that address assorted possibilities of being at war with gravity. Bonuses on the Blu-ray release include audio commentary, interviews with the director, and interviews with the original Japanese voice cast.
