Twister [Blu-ray] [Standard]

One of the greatest war films ever made, Stanley Kubrick's compelling look at recruits preparing for battle and the bloody war in Vietnam itself is marked by the director's characteristic black humor and heightened realism. Private InchJokerInch (Matthew Modine) is a cocky Marine who learns the horrors of war firsthand, as he's followed from the dehumanizing rituals of boot camp to a sniper assault in a bombed-out city. With Adam Baldwin, Vincent D'Onofrio, Arliss Howard, and R. Lee Ermey; based on Gustav Hasford's novel InchThe Short-Timers.Inch 116 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English DTS HD Master Audio; Subtitles English (SDH); audio commentary; featurette; theatrical trailer. Two-disc set.

The canneries stand empty now that the sardines have abandoned the waters, but life continues on the Row. Here, you'll find Doc (Nick Nolte), a marine biologist and community mentor; Suzy (Debra Winger), a good-hearted newcomer gone astray; and Mack, Hazel and all the boys working hard at not working. Here, you'll also find the love of a man for a woman, of a writer for a place and of life for more life. Based on works by John Steinbeck and written for the screen and directed by The Sting's David S. Ward, Cannery Row -- from its lyrical John Huston narration and saggy blues to its top-drawer performances, waterfront sets and whimsical charm -- is an atmospheric gem, one that has its world "spinning in greased grooves."
