Little Big Man
Synopsis: In this sweeping epic that swings from high comedy to drama, Dustin Hoffman gives a "virtuoso performance" (Hollywood Reporter) as the 121-year-old sole survivor of Custer's Last Stand. Narrating his colorful life story, he tells about everything from his adoption by Cheyenne Indians to his marriages and friendship with Wild Bill Hickok. His tall tales indicate he just may be one of the biggest liars who roamed the West. Academy Award-winner Faye Dunaway, Chief Dan George, Martin Balsam and Richard Mulligan co-star. Available as a Deluxe Collector's set and standard Blu-ray edition. STREET DATE: OCTOBER 19.
The New Centurions
Synopsis: Rookie cop Roy Fehler (Stacy Keach) and seasoned veteran Andy Kilvinski (George C. Scott) patrol the worst ghettos of Los Angeles. Cruising the 'hood, they bravely face off with hookers, gangsters, druggies and bank robbers. However, when his partner and best friend retires, Fehler discovers how good cops can sometimes turn bad.
Oscar winner George C. Scott (1970, Best Actor, Patton) teams up with Oscar-winning director Richard Fleischer (1947, Best Documentary Feature, Design for Death) and TV icons Erik Estrada and Isabel Sanford in this gritty police drama. STREET DATE: NOVEMBER 9.
See No Evil
Synopsis: After being blinded, a young woman goes to live in the English countryside with relatives. Out on a date with a boyfriend, she escapes the fate of her relatives who are murdered by a crazed killer. She finally makes the gruesome discovery of their bodies and has to flee on horseback. She is rescued but there are still twists and turns until the murderer is identified. Starring Mia Farrow, Dorothy Alison, Robin Bailey, Diane Grayson, and Brian Rawlinson. STREET DATE: NOVEMBER 9.
10 Rillington Place
Synopsis: Based on Ludovic Kennedy's investigative book, this is the true and horrifying story of serial killer John Christie, chillingly played by Richard Attenborough. When Timothy Evans (John Hurt) and his wife (Judy Geeson) move into Christie's tiny flat, they do not know that they are now part of the latest plan Christie has hatched to lure yet another woman to her death and pin the blame on Evans, who is soon afterwards hanged. It is only when fate exposes the crimes of the death-house at 10 Rillington Place in London, that Christie is brought to justice and all of England rethinks its views of the death penalty. Starring Richard Attenborough, Judy Geeson, John Hurt, Pat Heywood, and Isobel Black. STREET DATE: NOVEMBER 9.
Bonjour Tristesse
Synopsis: An amoral French girl and her playboy father discover the dark side of passion in this sizzling 1958 adaptation of Francoise Sagan's notorious bestseller. Jean Seberg is Cecile, the spoiled 17-year-old daughter of Raymond (David Niven), a wealthy Parisian widower vacationing in a sumptuous villa on the French Riviera. Their shallow, pleasure seeking existence is threatened when Raymond decides to marry Cecile's strait-laced godmother, Anne (Deborah Kerr), who disapproves of the teenager's steamy summer affair with Philippe (Geoffrey Horne). T o keep her carefree world from being shattered, Cecile plots to drive Anne away. But it's "Goodbye Happiness" and "Bonjour Tristesse" ("Hello Sadness") when the plan takes an unexpected turn. Starring Deborah Kerr, David Niven, Jean Seberg, Mylène Demongeot, and Geoffrey Horne. Available as Collector's Edition and standard Blu-ray edition. STREET DATE: NOVEMBER 23.
The 'Burbs
Synopsis: Tom Hanks portrays suburbanite Ray Peterson, whose plans for a peaceful vacation are disturbed by a creepy new family on the block, in this outrageous suspense-comedy. To the disappointment of his wife Carol, Ray decides to spend a relaxing week at home, and soon gets into trouble with his neighbors-a hefty busybody, a freaked-out ex-soldier, and a spacey teenager - as they observe the strange happenings next door at the Klopek's bizarre residence. When the neighborhood grouch suddenly disappears, the men are convinced the ramshackle house hides some hideous clues. Armed with assault rifles, high-powered binoculars and a shovel, they decide to see for themselves exactly what is going on in the Kloped place. Set in an average neighborhood that is anything but average, THE 'BURBS blends slapstick comedy and spine-thrilling mystery with the type of witty humor that has made Tom Hanks one of today's most popular stars. Starring Tom Hanks, Bruce Dern, Carrie Fisher, Rick Ducommun, and Corey Feldman. Available as a Deluxe Collector's set and standard Blu-ray edition. STREET DATE: DECEMBER 1.
