The director here, Sam Mendes, has built a olid reputation on the strength of his Oscar-winning debut (namely, American Beauty). Stars John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph exude the kind of unaz ected charm that drives the best independent films. Screen writers (and acclaimed novelists) Dave Eggers and Vendela Vida bring a literary cachet seldom found in movies of any kind. So why is Away We Go so difficult to like? There’s a self-satisfied quality to this tale of a couple’s quest to find the perfect place to raise their baby-on-the-way, and it undermines all the participants’ best intentions — and keeps the movie from being fun or very funny. No complaints about the HD’s picture, though, which consistently does right by the film’s panoramic widescreen images. The Dolby Digital 5.1 sound is clean and solid, although the director’s use of indie pop songs evokes Hal Ashby’s Harold and Maude perhaps a bit too specifi cally. The two brief documentaries are pretty standard for this kind of release. But in their commentary, Mendes, Eggers, and Vida manage to show all the humor and generosity of spirit not found in the film itself. Oh, well. If comedy were easy, everyone would do it.

Away We Go

Chinatown
Held together by a talk with director Steven Soderbergh, Chinatown: An Appreciation blends interviews with an array of eloquent filmmakers to get at the core of what makes this film unique. Even better is Water and Power, a fascinating 77-minute examination of the true story of how Los Angeles prospered by taking water from Northeastern California. For the set’s new commentary, David Fincher interviews Chinatown creenwriter Robert Towne to great ez ect. The picture’s sharpness and color rendition remain a rare treat, especially among widescreen DVDs, and you get both an ez ective Dolby Digital 5.1 mix and the original punchy mono. This two-disc set may not constitute an absolute must-have for those who already own the previous edition, but Chinatown surely deserves whatever enhancements it can get.

Avatar
An army of human invaders in avatar form is up against 10-foot-tall residents of a bizarre faraway planet in director James Cameron’s Avatar. The immersive, photorealistic 3-D and CGI innovations in this new sci-fi movie have been hyped as Hollywood’s most colossal quantum leap since…wel l , Hollywood’s last most colossal quantum leap. Sigourney Weaver, one of the stars, has called Avatar “a serious film about serious issues—but it’s in 3-D,” which means Cameron had to resist shots of cool stuff coming straight at the audience, right? Well, not exactly. The director likes being behind the lens for 3-D work and personally shot a sequence in which a stuntman fired a machine gun right at the camera. “I knew where to stand safely, but I have to admit there’s a bit of a twitch in the camera move,” says Cameron. “I wanted to put the audience right there.” Download NOW
2012
In 2012, cataclysmic earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and tidal waves send John Cusack, Amanda Peet, Woody Harrelson and Thandie Newton racing across the globe toward a modern-day Noah’s ark. Director Roland Emmerich says he was inspired by the ancient Mayan doomsday prophecy and other jittery theories as he prepared to go back to the future. “I’m glad every two years visual effects take a leap forward,” says the disaster master. “But it all starts with a concept, not effects.” And that concept is? “The characters have to get aboard a ship or they’re dead. The government people all know what’s happening and have moral discussions about whether they’re doing the right thing. John Cusack plays one of the people who don’t know, and he views the disasters as a way to reconcile his life. Then there’s Woody Harrelson, the crazy guy in the middle who thinks it’s all about spaceships. There’s a balance between intimate scenes, action and laughs, and people who’ve seen it told me they cried. That balance doesn’t work every time; this time it really does.” Download NOW
