On DVD: The Golden Compass, Red Balloon, More
New Line Cinema
Get the scoop on The Golden Compass, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly and, gulp, The Red Balloon.
What will you be watching this week?
The Golden Compass
Are two and a half hours of extras enough to make you forget what a missed opportunity film was? Nope, especially as the included documentaries are pretty ho-hum. Still, with stars Daniel Craig and Nicole Kidman and, more important, armored bears (!), this flawed adaptation of Philip Pullman’s wonderful book is the kind of movie you could watch solely for the curiosity value. Unless, of course, you protested against it.
The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
You didn’t go see this, did you? It’s a hard sell: a French language film directed by artist Julian Schnabel that's based on the true story of a man trapped within his paralyzed body. And you know what? It’s amazing. More movies should sound so daunting.
The Red Balloon
There are two kinds of people: those who rhapsodize about the sweet lyricism of this short, nearly wordless French film about a boy and a balloon, and the other kind, like us, who are completely and utterly terrorized by this creepy story of mean kids and willful balloons.
Also Out: 27 Dresses, The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones, Volume 3: The Years of Change, King Corn, Terror of Mechagodzilla, Saludos Amigos/Three Caballeros
