Batman Begins [Blu-ray] - News DVD Movies

Batman Begins discards the previous four films in the series and recasts the Caped Crusader as a fearsome avenging angel. That's good news, because the series, which had gotten off to a rousing start under Tim Burton, had gradually dissolved into self-parody by 1997's Batman & Robin. As the title implies, Batman Begins tells the story anew, when Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) flees Western civilization following the murder of his parents. He is taken in by a mysterious instructor named Ducard (Liam Neeson in another mentor role) and urged to become a ninja in the League of Shadows, but he instead returns to his native Gotham City resolved to end the mob rule that is strangling it. But are there forces even more sinister at hand?

Co-written by the team of David S. Goyer (a veteran comic book writer) and director Christopher Nolan (Memento), Batman Begins is a welcome return to the grim and gritty version of the Dark Knight, owing a great debt to the graphic novels that preceded it. It doesn't have the razzle dazzle, or the mass appeal, of Spider-Man 2 (though the Batmobile is cool), and retelling the origin means it starts slowly, like most "first" superhero movies. But it's certainly the best Bat-film since Burton's original, and one of the best superhero movies of its time. Bale cuts a good figure as Batman, intense and dangerous but with some of the lightheartedness Michael Keaton brought to the character. Michael Caine provides much of the film's humor as the family butler, Alfred, and as the love interest, Katie Holmes (Dawson's Creek) is surprisingly believable in her first adult role. Also featuring Gary Oldman as the young police officer Jim Gordon, Morgan Freeman as a Q-like gadgets expert, and Cillian Murphy as the vile Jonathan Crane. --David Horiuchi

DVD of the Week: I, Robot

I didn’t see this film when it first came out because, well, it looked silly. Just from the previews I could gather that somehow robots start committing crimes…Will Smith is some sort of cop…and I could easily predict a “happy” ending with the triumph of humans over machines and the restoration of law and order. But recently I saw “I Am Legend,” in which Will Smith is the last human left in New York City, strangely immune to some virus that has turned everyone else into flesh-eating monsters, and I realized that, predictable ending or not, a Will Smith film is like pizza—even when it’s bad, it’s still pretty good.

This film starts out with the requisite shots of Will Smith working out. Is this in his contract or something? We quickly learn that in the year 2035 Converse All-Stars are considered collector’s items (I hate annoying product placement) and that Smith’s character, Spooner, doesn’t like robots. He suspects one of snatching a woman’s purse when it was actually running to return the purse to her; his suspicion is ridiculed because the very idea of robots committing crimes is ludicrous.

Or is it? The premise is that each robot is programmed to follow Three Laws: 1) not to harm humans or by inaction allow them to be harmed, 2) they must obey humans unless the human orders violate law #1, and 3) they must protect their own existence unless doing so violates #1 or #2. When it becomes clear that a new generation of robots is able to disobey the Three Laws, Spooner has to figure out how, and why. The answer is surprising, in that it logically makes sense, and it’s almost not a bad idea…

DVD of the Week: The Color Purple

It’s the 4th of July this week, Independence Day. The day we celebrate the adoption of the Declaration of Independence and freedom from tyranny, unless of course you’re Native American, in which case invading Europeans with their genocide and land-stealing probably seemed pretty darn tyrannical. But that’s another story. In the spirit of celebrating freedom from oppression, I watched The Color Purple this week, a story about Celie, a poor woman in the early 1900s who endured much suffering before finally finding independence and true happiness.

The film opens with a young Celie giving birth to a baby that is promptly taken away from her by her father. We learn that the baby is a product of incest and Celie’s father continues to abuse her, resulting in a second baby that is also taken away. Celie’s only escape is when she is married off to a much older man, Albert, who is widowed with three kids. Albert is abusive and treats Celie no better than a slave. He also kicks out Celie’s sister, Nettie, when she refuses his advances, cutting Celie off from the only family she has left and the only source of happiness in her life.

Celie endures many years with Albert but things change one day when Albert brings home Shug Avery, a sultry jazz singer with whom he’s been having a long-term affair. Ironically, considering the circumstances, Shug not only befriends Celie but also helps her gain confidence and finally stand up to Albert. This has some of the most moving portrayals I have ever seen on screen, including one by a little up-and-comer named Oprah Winfrey, as Sofia, Albert’s daughter-in-law. I admit it, I cried a lot during this one, and lately I only cry during Will Smith movies. But that’s another story.

DVD of the Week: Animal Farm

I’m a sucker for talking animals. I don’t know why. For some reason, I really want to believe that they can speak. And also plot revolutions.

As a very thinly veiled allegory of Stalinism, Animal Farm shows how the main principles of communism (or in this case, “animalism”) –unity, equality, and comradeship—were perverted by those in power, twisted and manipulated by a regime even more oppressive than the one it replaced. Nevertheless, there are those who remain true to its ideals and original intent.

The humans in this film are truly despicable. The adults are drunk and debauched, the kids cruel and abusive. The animals are starved and over-worked, so it’s no wonder they finally get fed up and decide to rebel. Inspired by Old Major, a wise old pig, they are able to organize and effectively defeat the humans, gaining control of the farm. But when leadership is taken over and abused by Napoleon, a scheming, greedy, pig, things start to go awry. Napoleon and his goons bend the laws to suit their own needs, eventually going against the most basic and fundamental tenets of Animal Farm. Drunk with power and literally drunk on whiskey, the pigs become indistinguishable from the humans that they defeated.

Animal Farm the book was published in 1945, but I think that its message is as timely now as it was then. It is interesting that the pigs distract the other animals with television so that they won’t be outraged by what’s happening to the farm. The pigs also become masters at producing propaganda and spreading disinformation, which the sheep (yes, literally sheep) swallow readily. It just might make you think about a current news network that coincidentally is named for an animal that can often be found on or around farms…
