Mulholland Drive: Original Motion Picture Score $13.98 Director David Lynch’s affection for kitschy lounge music and emotionally overwrought mid-century pop has long since proven to be more than trend or irony; indeed, it’s often the uneasy spiritual axis of his films. The soundtrack of Mulholland Dr. turns on the usual Lynchian motifs (the brooding atmosphere of Angelo Badalamenti’s ominous synth-and-orchestra cues tossed with a dash of Lynch’s own o… |

Fern Hill: American Choral Music $10.88 Several world premieres highlight this disc from the outstanding Kansas City Chorale, including the title work and a setting of “L’Invitation au Voyage”, both by John Corigliano. While these, unfortunately, are uninspiring original works by Jean Belmont and James Mulholland, settings of “Shenandoah” by Conrad Susa and “Deep River” by Roy Ringwald are excellent. Unexcelled performances of Barb… |

Mulholland Falls [VHS] $3.15 Too much surface. Director Lee (The Edge) Tomahori’s noir story serves as a McGuffin to its ripe style. Amid secret agendas and unspeakable acts onscreen you stare at the fall of light across old cops’ desks. Musing on super-8 footage of naked Jennifer Connelly, your mind wanders. Ah, yes, an allusion to the opening shots of Chinatown. Roman Polanski’s grand reinvocation of the dark intuitions o… |

Oscar [VHS] $9.99 Oscar was Sylvester Stallone’s agreeable, 1991 effort at broad comedy, a fast-talking, suspender-snapping gangster farce featuring the Rambo star as a 1930s Chicago mob boss, Snaps Provolone, trying to go straight during overlapping personal crises. No, this isn’t Billy Wilder, but director John Landis (Coming to America) has crackling fun with Oscar’s fruit salad of traditional comic themes and t… |

The Last September [VHS] $1.84 The Last September opens with a title card portentously announcing that what we are about to see is “the end of a world.” Not, it turns out, too great an overstatement. In 1920 Ireland, a wealthy group of Anglo-Irish, the English-descended “tribe” who historically had overseen the country on behalf of its colonial rulers, seat ensconced in their luxurious estate. Just down the road, throughout sm… |
