12 Angry Men (Criterion Collection) - DVD

When lightning strikes a stone monolith on an Irish farm, it unleashes the ancient demonic monster Rawhead Rex on the unsuspecting locals. As Rex wreaks bloody havoc across the countryside, an American (David Dukes) traveling through Ireland with his family may be the only one who can put an end to the creature's savage reign of terror. Based on a short story (and scripted) by Clive Barker, this British/Irish/American shocker also stars Kelly Piper, Ronan Wilmot, Niall Toibin. 89 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles English; audio commentary; interviews; theatrical trailer.

12 ANGRY MEN, by Sidney Lumet, may be the most radical big-screen courtroom drama in cinema history. A behind-closed-doors look at the American legal system as riveting as it is spare, the iconic adaptation of Reginald Roses teleplay stars Henry Fonda as the initially dissenting member of a jury of white men ready to pass judgment on a Puerto Rican teenager charged with murdering his father. What results is a saga of epic proportions that plays out in real time over ninety minutes in one sweltering room. Lumets electrifying snapshot of 1950s America on the verge of change is one of the great feature-film debuts.

James Cameron's action-packed sequel finds Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) accompanied by a platoon of space marines as she reluctantly returns to the planet where her crew discovered the alien. But their mission to rescue a group of colonists turns into a desperate battle for survival as they find themselves up against an entire hive of the lethal creatures. Michael Biehn, Paul Reiser, Bill Paxton, Lance Henriksen also star. Theatrical version; 137 min./Extended version; 154 min.
