Les Carabiniers (DVD)
A bizarre, surreal, and potent antiwar film, Jean-Luc Godard`s LES CARABINIERS is a complex tale of two riflemen who travel the world in the service of The King. Recruited by two other members of the army, Michel-Ange and Ulysses leave their wives, Cleopatra and Venus, to wander as far as Egypt and the US killing and torturing innocent victims for their unseen leader. Full of the innovative editing techniques and intellectual vigor that punctuates almost all Godard`s films, LES CARABINIERS finds Godard playing promiscuously with images and ideas, including favorite preoccupations such as the destructiveness of capitalism, often presenting ideas and opinions that are forgotten almost as soon as they are articulated. Beautiful, complex, fascinating, and frustrating, LES CARABINIERS is vintage Godard.NR"

Campion - The Case of the Late Pig (DVD)
Sleuth Albert Campion (Peter Davison), who conceals his desire for danger under his naive appearance, takes up another case. This time it is the mirror image of a murder investigation when Campion attends the funeral of an old schoolyard buddy who may not be as dead as was originally thought. It does not seem coincidental that an ex-girlfriend happens to need Campion`s sleuthing skills for a murder mystery of her own. A blast from the past for Campion makes for an interesting mystery for fans of the genre.NR"

The Rape of the Vampire (DVD)
The french cult director Jean Rollin, who has made a career out of making erotically charged horror films that focus on vampires and virgins, began his career with this 1968 film, THE RAPE OF THE VAMPIRE. Expanded from a short film, it covers all of the subject matter and imagery that Rollin became known for--blood, naked women in sexual yet horrific circumstances, existentialism, and fetishism of vampires and their base, lustful desires.Unrated"
