Ben-Hur (DVD)
Anno Domini: the seventh year of Augustus Caesars reign. In the Roman province of Judea, Jews return to the city of their birth for the census. A bright star in the night over Bethlehem marks the birth of Jesus Christ. Years later, Roman commander Messala (Stephen Boyd), who was brought up in Judea, takes command of the Roman garrison in Jerusalem. His Jewish boyhood friend Judah Ben-Hur (Charlton Heston) greets him. Messala is delighted. But when Judah refuses to name Jewish patriots, Messala sentences him to the slave galleys and imprisons his mother, Miriam (Martha Scott), and sister, Tirzah (Cathy ODonnell). Judah vows revenge.
In BEN-HUR, William Wylers much-lauded epic, the story of Judahs search for his mother and sister and his quest for revenge intersects with crucial biblical events such as the Sermon on the Mount and the crucifixion. Wyler gets fine performances from Heston, Boyd, Jack Hawkins (as a Roman admiral who befriends Judah), and Hugh Griffith (as an Arab sheik who dreams of racing his beautiful white horses against Messala). Among BEN-HURs vivid dramatic sequences are a violent sea battle and the famous chariot race that pits Judah against Messala in one of cinemas great action sequences.G"

Lumumba (DVD) English Dubbed Version Haitian-born director Raoul Peck exorcises the demons of his adopted Congolese homeland in his erudite retelling of the tragically ended life of Patrice Lumumba, the Congo`s first and last popularly elected prime...
Haitian-born director Raoul Peck exorcises the demons of his adopted Congolese homeland in his erudite retelling of the tragically ended life of Patrice Lumumba, the Congo`s first and last popularly elected prime minister. Spinning off from his 1992 documentary LUMUMBA: DEATH OF A PROPHET, Peck, with the benefit of recently uncovered information, unfurls the frenetic life of Lumumba, jumping backwards through his erratic and surprising rise to power from his brutal murder. Eriq Ebouaney portrays Lumumba`s unique mix of antagonistic energy and chaotic charisma with breathtaking momentum; from his days as a beer salesman to his imprisonment for insurrection, to his attendance of the meetings instrumental in helping the Congo gain independence. The doomed leader`s trajectory takes on Shakespearean proportions of betrayal and epic tragedy when his friend and companion Joseph Mobutu (played icily by Claire Denis regular Alex Descas) capitulates to the powerful forces of greed and international political maneuvering.
