Rain Man New On Bluray 4k 35th Anniversary Edition

Product Description: Dustin Hoffman (Meet the Fockers) is a “triumph” (People) in an Oscar®-Winning* role, and Tom Cruise (Top Gun: Maverick) delivers the “best acting of his career [in a film that’s] fascinating, touching and full of smart surprises” (Newsweek). Charlie Babbitt (Cruise) has just discovered he has an autistic brother named Raymond (Hoffman) and is now taking him on the ride of his life. Or is it the other way around? From his refusal to drive on major highways to a “four minutes to Wapner “ meltdown at an Oklahoma farmhouse, Raymond first pushes hot-headed Charlie to limits of his patience… and then pulls him completely out of his self-centered world. But what begins as an unsentimental journey for the Babbitt brothers becomes much more than the distance between two places. It’s a connection between two vastly different people… and “a poignant profound and powerful film” (Joel Siegel, ABC-TV).

UNSTOPPABLE (2010)

After the "Pelham 123" fiasco, Tony Scott gives trains another try, with decidedly superior results. Fast and loud, this movie is pretty much what you'd expect from the director. Forget about using your brain on this one, just let yourself get carried away by the deafening spectacle. Denzel Washington and Chris Pine provide the human element in this hyperactive story of a runaway train, and their presence adds greatly to the movie. Suspenseful and full of great action scenes, "Unstoppable" is not just better than expected, but also a superior action movie. Also available on Blu-Ray.




Winner of 4 Academy Awards, including Best Picture, "Rain Man" finally gets the Blu-Ray treatment. Boasting an excellent award-winning Dustin Hoffman performance, a young confident Tom Cruise and a wonderfully melodramatic story, this movie is a worthy addition to any collection. Even though Barry Levinson's output has varied wildly throughout the years, this story about the difficult relationship between an autistic man (Hoffman) and his selfish brother (Cruise) has constantly remained his most talked-about achievement.




Another classic released on Blu-Ray this week, "Moonstruck" is probably more famous because Cher won an Academy Award for Best Leading Actress for the role of a widow trying to rediscover love. What it should be famous for is Norman Jewison's unique blend of comedy and romance, (see also the 1994 "Only You"), and John Patrick Shanley's witty script. "Moonstruck" set the bar higher for all   romantic comedies. That bar seems to have dropped a few notches nowadays, which makes it all the more fun to go back to the classics.




Newly released on Blu-Ray and DVD, "Summer Wars" is a wonderfully surreal Japanese animation feature. A fascinating mix of cyberpunk and anime, beautifully drawn and featuring a complex story, this animated sci-fi adventure is guaranteed to thrill and intrigue even the most skeptical viewers out there. It might feel a bit unusual for those unfamiliar with anime, but I strongly recommend it nonetheless.
