Serial - BLU-RAY

She's the perfect all-American parent a great cook and homemaker, a devoted recycler, and a woman who'll literally kill to keep her children happy! Beverly Sutphin's (Kathleen Turner) murderous habits turn her into a media celebrity in John Waters' sharp-edged satire on family life, tabloid TV, video store customers who don't rewind, and other topics. With Sam Waterston, Ricki Lake, Mink Stole, and Suzanne Somers as herself. 94 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English; Subtitles English; audio commentary; interviews; featurettes; theatrical trailer.

Inspired by the Cyra McFadden novel The Serial A Year in the Life of Marin County, Serial is director Bill Persky's (TV's Kate & Allie) satirical look at the lifestyles of California's 1970's hippie culture. Viewed through the eyes of Harvey Holroyd (Martin Mull, TV's Roseanne), a man perplexed by the behavior of his wife Kate (Tuesday Weld, Pretty Poison) and their liberal-minded friends, Serial lampoons everything from feminism, free love and sexual politics to cults, motorcycle clubs and the random midlife crisis. The gifted ensemble cast includes Sally Kellerman (MASH), Christopher Lee (Dr. Terror's House of Horrors), Bill Macy (The Holiday), Peter Bonerz (TV's The Bob Newhart Show), Nina Talbot (Night Shift), Tom Smothers (Get To Know Your Rabbit), Pamela Bellwood (TV's Dynasty) and Stacey Nelkin (Halloween III Season of The Witch).

Stalled realtor Raylene InchRedInch Delaney (Krew Boylan, who scripted) didn't think her life would've changed from having shown up at the office party-and performed-in full Dolly Parton regalia. Word, however, got back to a celebrity impersonator booker (Celeste Barber)-and Red went all in for immersion in a quirky subculture and partnership with a method-serious Kenny Rogers lookalike (Daniel Webber). Gracie Otto's charming study also stars Rose Byrne, Bobby Cannavale. 94 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.
