The Complete James Dean Collection (DVD)
Three movies from that impeccable icon of cool, James Dean, are collected here.EAST OF EDEN: The strong screen adaptation of John Steinbeck's 1952 novel features the debut of James Dean. Like Cain with Abel, a black sheep competes with his brother for his father's love--with tragic results.GIANT: Edna Ferber's best-selling family saga was the source of Stevens' sprawling epic, which stars Rock Hudson, Elizabeth Taylor, and James Dean, in his last film appearance. When Texas cattleman Bick Benedict (Hudson) goes to Virginia in the early 1920s to buy a prize stallion, he falls in love with Leslie Lynnton (Taylor), an aristocratic, independent-minded beauty, and they quickly marry. He takes her back to Reata, his 600,000-acre ranch, where sister Luz (Mercedes McCambridge), the family matriarch, does her best to make Leslie feel unwelcome. Leslie is appalled by
the second-class status accorded to women and racist attitudes toward the local Mexicans, neither of which seem to bother her husband. Out of compassion, she befriends surly ranch hand Jett Rink (James Dean), who comes to worship her from afar, envying Bick for both his wealth and his wife. He strikes oil on land bequeathed to him by the deceased Luz and his wealth and power grow apace. As the years pass, the bewildered Bick often finds his children thwarting his wishes and criticizing his beliefs, pushing the millionaire to question his values for the first time in his life. The film's outstanding cast, which also features Dennis Hopper, Sal Mineo, Carroll Baker,
Earl Holliman, and Chill Wills, inject vitality into a project that occasionally suffers from longueurs.REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE: The age-old theme of teenage violence and delinquency is given distinctive insight by the well-cast Dean-Wood-Mineo trio.
Perhaps the best teen-age drama of the 1950s. Academy Award Nominations: Best Supporting Actor--Sal Mineo, Best Supporting Actress--Natalie Wood, Best Motion Picture Story.

The Fernando Arrabal Collection (DVD)
VIVA LA MUERTE: Fando is a young boy living under Franco`s rule in Spain who finds out things he maybe shouldn`t have known about his parents. Director Fernando Arrabal`s 1970 surreal classic is full of images of violence, sexuality, and political questions that explore guilt, treason, and human behavior. I WILL WALK LIKE A CRAZY HORSE: Organized religion and faith set the background for this story about a man named Aden (George Shannon) who escapes from the society he was accustomed to after his mother`s death. He discovers the wonder and beauty of nature out in the wilderness along with a recluse named Marvel, who possess the power to talk to animals. When Aden returns to society along with Marvel, he realizes just how much he despises the civilized world. THE GUERNICA TREE: Spanish surrealist Arrabal takes on his familiar themes of political injustice, taboo-breaking love and sex, and rapturous religion. Count Cerralbo is the patriarch of a wealthy family, but he misses the days of greater class distinction, when peasants had to submit to his will. Three of his four sons terrorize their village, while the fourth, a dreamer, pursues his art and his love, Vandale.
