Venom - BLU-RAY [Standard]

As he tried to cope with the alien symbiote now sharing his body, Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) couldn't turn down the invite that could recharge his flagging journalism career A prison sit-down with psychotic serial murderer Cletus Kasaday (Woody Harrelson). Freak circumstance caused the parasite to infect Kasaday as well-resulting in an escape and rampage that even Venom might not be able to stop. Showdown for the Marvel Comics supervillains co-stars Michelle Williams, Naomie Harris. 90 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.

It was supposed to be the perfect crime the sexy maid (Susan George of STRAW DOGS), a psychotic chauffeur (Oliver Reed of THE BROOD) and an international terrorist (the legendary Klaus Kinski) kidnap a wealthy ten-year-old boy from his elegant London townhouse. But they didn't count on a murdered cop, a desperate hostage siege, and one very unexpected houseguest a furious Black Mamba, the most lethal and aggressive snake known to nature. It can attack from ten feet away. It's bite brings excruciating death. And it is on the loose. Now, terror knows no antidote... and the ultimate in slithering mayhem is VENOM.

Occurrence is the third, and at least for now the last, in a hugely illuminating series devoted to works by contemporary Icelandic composers, as performed by Iceland's 70-year-old national orchestra. Speaking for myself - and surely for many others, as well - the series has been a milestone project, one that any conscientious collector of symphonic music simply must have on the shelf. Across three albums now, Sono Luminus has capitalized shrewdly on swelling global interest in the music of Daniel Bjarnason and Anna Thorvaldsdottir, using their works as a means by which to introduce seven more composers with original, substantial voices. Three of the composers represented on Occurrence return from previous installments in the series. In addition to Bjarnson - who also has served as an insightful, sympathetic conductor throughout - we hear new works from Þuri´ður Jonsdottir, whose Flow and Fusion opened the initial disc, Recurrence, and from Haukur Tomasson, whose Piano Concerto No. 2 was a highlight of the second in the series, Concurrence. These repeat engagements prove serendipitous, showing off fresh facets of these newly familiar creators. One, Bjarnason's own Violin Concerto, scarcely requires introduction, having proved it's merits and attractions already on concert platforms around the globe since it's 2017 world premiere at the Hollywood Bowl. Pekka Kuusisto, the violinist for whom the piece was written, demonstrates his consummate skill as a technician, a melodist, a collaborator and - not least - a whistler, and the orchestral accompaniment, no surprise, is vivid and alert. 21.99 0.00 30 IN STOCK //mediacdn.aent-m/prod-img/500/83/3890483-2660847.jpg //mediacdn.aent-m/prod-img/500/83/3890483-2660847.jpg //aentmedia.blob.core.windows.net/prod-img/1500/83/3890483-2660847.jpg //aentmediacold.blob.core.windows.net/raw/83/3890483.jpg
