Glass: The Perfect American [Blu-ray] Product Description The last days of the American icon Walt Disney form a powerful and poignant subject for Philip Glass's latest opera; which was filmed at its first performances in Madrid in January 2013. Phelim McDermott's spectacular production is worthy of Disney's own visual imagination and its definitive influence on American culture; while in the pit is the conductor Dennis Russell Davies; an experienced and authoritative champion of the composer's hypnotically beautiful music; which gives wings to Rudy Wurlitzer's operatic transformation of Peter Stephan Jungk's novel; using both fact and fiction to peer into Disney's troubled psyche as illness forces him to confront his mortality. Press Reviews"... one of the crowning events of the past year's globe-trotting celebration of Mr. Glass's 75th birthday. The subtle; moody score; at war between its propulsive and serene impulses; felt more than equal in quality to the festive occasion. While criticisms of Mr. Glass's music as cookie-cutter have always been misguided; "The Perfect American" finds him in especially unpredictable form; experimenting with sonorities; textures and pacing. Led by the Glass veteran Dennis Russell Davies with careful attention to both its underlying pulse and its twists of temperament; the opera opens with an ominous; low murmur punctuated by sharp; syncopated percussion snaps. The sound gradually expands through the orchestra and warms into something that; under Mr. Davies; has more gentle swing than the relentless forward motion generally associated with Mr. Glass. " (The New York Times) "Baritone Christopher Purves has captured in Disney the charisma; arrogance and humanity of the man; and it's already a candidate for one of the most important opera performances of the year. He makes racist or anti-Semitic remarks sound not like tirades but like attitudes that were all too common at the time; especially around Los Angeles. One of the points of ""The Perfect American"" is to show us how much times have changed. The rest of the mostly excellent large cast includes David Pittsinger as Roy Disney; Donald Kaasch as Dantine; Janis Kelly as Disney's nurse Hazel George; Marie McLaughlin as his wife; Lillian; and John Easterlin as Warhol. Rosie Lomas made a strong impression in the high-lying parts of the owl-girl Lucy and Josh; the boy in the hospital. And Zachary James had a touch of Daniel Day-Lewis in his Lincoln. Dennis Russell Davies; who has led the premieres of most of Glass' operas and symphonies; once more made sure of tone and detail." (Los Angeles Times) "The score is pleasant; easy to listen to; and masterfully orchestrated. There are plenty outstanding passages which perfectly meets one's expectations… it is one of Glass' very best operas. Phelim McDermott's production... is excellent. Dennis Russell Davies... gave a wholly convincing interpretation...The orchestra of the Teatro Real played along excellently and the performance from the chorus was top notch."

Chris Kyle was nothing more than a Texan man who wanted to become a cowboy, but in his thirties he found out that maybe his life needed something different, something where he could express his real talent, something that could help America in its fight against terrorism. So he joined the SEALs in order to become a sniper. After marrying, Kyle and the other members of the team are called for their first tour of Iraq. Kyle’s struggle isn’t with his missions, but about his relationship with the reality of the war and, once returned at home, how he manages to handle it with his urban life, his wife and kids.

Director Marcus Nispel cut his teeth on the remake of TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE, and that experience has left a bloody thumbprint on this film. PATHFINDER shares the horror movie aesthetic, with its generous use of blood, jump moments, and shadow. Centuries before Christopher Columbus reached American shores, the Vikings carved a bloody path through the continent. When a shipwreck kills a boat full of Vikings and their Native American captives, the only survivor is a young blond child. Adopted by the People of the Dawn tribe, the boy grows up into a warrior. As an adult, the former Viking, now named Ghost (Karl Urban, THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING), is an important member of his tribe with only disturbing memories to tie him to the Norsemen. When another ship of Vikings destroys his village and all he knows, he vows revenge. This remake of the Norwegian film OFELAS boasts several innovative action sequences, one involving a shield used as a sled in the snow. With his work in the Lord of the Rings films, Urban has perfected his talent at swordplay, and his prowess is evident here. His character takes on the Viking invaders almost single-handedly and stalks them, picking them off one by one. This is an action-filled film that doesn't let dialogue get in the way of the elaborate fight scenes.
