Home Theater: Christopher Nolan's bold, offbeat 'Interstellar'

Interstellar: 
Paramount, $29.98; Blu-ray, $39.99
Available on VOD Tuesday


When Christopher Nolan was promoting this film last fall, the "Dark Knight"/"Inception" director promised a more heartfelt, less cerebral movie than his usual brainy blockbusters. There's definitely a lot of talk about love and family in this story of a NASA pilot (played by Matthew McConaughey) who agrees to travel through a wormhole to save humanity. But "Interstellar" is also highly wonky and philosophical, filled with speculative science and deep considerations of whether mankind can ever be selfless enough to survive. In short: This is another bold, offbeat and entertaining genre film from modern Hollywood's most consistently visionary mainstream director. The DVD and Blu-ray come with featurettes that cover everything from the magnificent special effects to the extensive research that went into the project. 

Wild: 
20th Century Fox, $29.98; Blu-ray, $39.99
 

  
Screenwriter Nick Hornby, "Dallas Buyers Club" director Jean-Marc Vallée and producer-star Reese Witherspoon bring a rare sensitivity to this adaptation of Cheryl Strayed's inspirational memoir. Witherspoon plays Strayed, a woman who reacts to her mother's death by plunging into heroin and sex addiction before deciding to right herself by hiking more than 1,000 miles along the Pacific Crest Trail. "Wild" follows Strayed's progress from frightened novice to lean, hardened adventurer, and Witherspoon gives her all to a role that requires her to be prickly in the flashback sequences and a plucky feminist heroine in the wilderness. The film is engineered for maximum uplift but so well crafted that the shamelessness is forgivable. The DVD and Blu-ray add a commentary track, deleted scenes and featurettes. 

Silicon Valley: The Complete First Season: 
HBO, $39.98; Blu-ray, $49.99
 
"Office Space" creator Mike Judge applies his dry satirical style to California's computer culture in this HBO sitcom, a smart and funny look at how the kind of misfits who develop apps for a living have built their own cutthroat corporate culture. Taking on everything from the sweatshop conditions for coders to the way ruthless bosses are treated like gurus, "Silicon Valley" has a keen awareness of the interpersonal challenges, innate misogyny and aggressive hucksterism that results when hordes of sweaty nerds gather and try to impress one another. The second season will begin soon; until then, the eight-episode first season is available on DVD and Blu-ray, with commentary tracks and featurettes. 

Cries and Whispers: 
Criterion, $29.95; Blu-ray, $39.95
   
By the early 1970s, Swedish filmmaker Ingmar Bergman was recognized worldwide as important and influential, but his movies weren't being seen or talked about as much as they once were. And then he made another masterpiece, 1972's "Cries and Whispers," and had one of his biggest hits. Set in the 19th century at an elegant country mansion, the film follows a woman who's dying of cancer as her two sisters and her maid struggle to comfort her in her last days. Bergman contrasts the classy surroundings with the ugly realities of the human body, creating a movie that has the complicated structure of a novel, the intimate drama of theater and the vivid light and color of great cinema. Criterion's new DVD and Blu-ray edition include new and vintage interviews, plus a video essay.

And…

The Imitation Game:
Starz/Anchor Bay, $29.98; Blu-ray, $34.99
Available on VOD on Tuesday
Outcast:
E1, $29.99; Blu-ray, $29.99
The Rewrite:
Image, $29.96; Blu-ray, $29.97
Veep: The Complete Third Season:
HBO, $39.98; Blu-ray, $49.99
Wild Card:
Lionsgate, $19.98; Blu-ray, $24.99

Wonderful Movie review: ‘Insurgent’ – on March 23, 2015

Even as it makes no concession for people who may have not read Veronica Roth’s Divergent books, or who may have missed the first movie based on them entirely, Insurgent works better than its 2014 predecessor. 
 


It moves faster, puts Tris (Woodley) firmly at the centre of things, and its action scenes sizzle with thrills and suspense. With all the justifications of this post-acolapyse world dealt with in the first film, Insurgent purely involves three women who are making the world around them spin. A middle film that has no beginning or an end can hardly ask for anything better. 

Having laid the Abnegation faction to dust, Jeanine (Winslet) is hunting for divergents who pose a threat to the world as she knows it. She also wants one divergent strong enough to apply his/her mind’s powers to opening a box that holds the secrets of the founding fathers of this world. Tris, Four (James) and the others who had fled the annihilation of Abnegation last time are hiding out at Amity, before they are forced to make a run for it. 

As they gather the remaining members of the Dauntless faction around them, the problem remains how to hold off Jeanine, who will stop at nothing including embedding transmitters into people to force them into suicide. In the meantime, Four, who guards Tris with his heart and all his well-muscled body, has a crucial reunion with the head of the faction-less (Watts). 

The “remainder of humanity” confined to one city (Chicago), enclosed within a wall and divided into factions Erudite (the learned scientists), Candor (the honest jurists), Amity (the kind cultivators), Abnegation (the selfless administrators) and Dauntless (the fearless protectors), is surprisingly 20th century about its idea of clothing. All the fighters wear tight leather and fitted dresses, the more laid-back can be found in loose overalls. The lawbreakers lie somewhere in the middle. 


The architecture is uniformly tall and colourless, except Amity’s people who stay in round, wooden structures. 

Schwentke, who takes over from Neil Burger as director, knows how to tweak the story well enough to keep it running at a good pace into the third and fourth instalment. Deadly encounters are shot with minimal fuss, talk is kept to the adequate little, and Watts and Teller as the untrustworthy Peter bring in enough unpredictability to serve the story well. This also helps keep the plot from turning too maudlin which it threatens to become every time Woodley comes on screen, or even James. 

Woodley is not bad, but she isn’t Jennifer Lawrence, who brings in just the right rebellious, resentful, angry streak to make us cheer for Katniss in The Hunger Games. James, for his part, is meant to just play second fiddle. 

And that is perhaps the biggest thing to celebrate in Insurgent. It may be long before you continued…
