Hellbound/Hitman/Forced Vengeance [DVD] [Standard]

Sorcerer [Blu-ray]

The ultimate cinematic head trip of the 1980s, British renegade Ken Russell's first Hollywood production adapted by the legendary screenwriter Paddy Chayefsky from his own novel is part hallucinogenic freak-out, part gonzo creature feature, part transcendent love story, all played at a fever pitch. When researcher Eddie Jessup (William Hurt) begins using himself as a test subject for his mind-expanding psychological experiments, it sends him on an increasingly dangerous, substance-fueled odyssey from humankind's primordial past to the outer limits of consciousness. It's all visualized by Russell in a psychedelic supernova of out-there imagery that encompasses everything from the pagan to the cosmic sublime, culminating in a brain-wave-blasting battle between the mind and the heart.

PHOENICIAN SCHEME - Blu-ray - Following several attempts on his life, wealthy European tycoon Zsa-zsa Korda (Benicio del Toro) decides it's time to name a successor. Of his 10 children, Korda selects Liesl (Mia Threapleton)-his only daughter, who also happens to be a nun. Liesl gets a crash course in her father's business dealings when she accompanies him on a kooky around-the-world adventure. Wes Anderson's expectedly quirky comedic thriller co-stars Michael Cera, Riz Ahmed, Tom Hanks, Scarlett Johansson, and Bill Murray. RUNTIME 101 min.
