LOVING Comes To Blu-ray, DVD and On Demand on February 7

“LOVING is a warm, moving, deeply romantic film.” – Cate Marquis (review)

Follow the incredible real-life tale of courage and commitment as an interracial couple fights for marriage equality in the case that went all the way to the United States Supreme Court in Loving, arriving on Digital HD on January 24, 2017 and on Blu-ray™, DVD and On Demand on February 7, 2017, from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. Just in time for Valentine’s Day, Loving on Blu-ray™, DVD and Digital HD features a revealing behind-the-scenes look at the making of the film and insightful commentary from writer/director Jeff Nichols. The Focus Features movie is nominated for two Golden Globe Awards: Best Actor [Drama] (Joel Edgerton) and Best Actress [Drama] (Ruth Negga).

Loving is the new film from acclaimed writer/director Jeff Nichols (Take Shelter, Mud, Midnight Special). Richard and Mildred Loving (portrayed in the film by Golden Globe nominees Joel Edgerton and Ruth Negga), fell in love and were married in 1958. The couple had grown up in Central Point, a small town in Virginia that was more integrated than surrounding areas in the American South. Yet it was the state of Virginia, where they were making their home and starting a family, that first jailed and then banished them. Richard and Mildred relocated with their children to the inner city of Washington, D.C. While relatives made them feel welcome there, the more urban environment did not feel like home to them. Ultimately, the pull of their roots in Virginia would spur Mildred to try to find a way back. Their civil rights case, Loving v. Virginia, went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, which in 1967 reaffirmed the very foundation of the right to marry. Richard and Mildred returned home and their love story has become an inspiration to couples ever since.

Also starring Marton Csokas (The Bourne Supremacy), Nick Kroll (Sing), and Academy Award^®nominee Michael Shannon (Nocturnal Animals), Loving is a moving film that Ben Dickinson of Elle calls “a deeply romantic and irresistibly human story.”

BLU-RAY and DVD BONUS FEATURES:

Win Passes To The Advance Screening of Adam Driver in PATERSON

PATERSON starring Adam Driver and directed by Jim Jarmusch opens in St. Louis January 13th

Paterson (Adam Driver) is a bus driver in the city of Paterson, New Jersey – they share the name. Every day, Paterson adheres to a simple routine: he drives his daily route, observing the city as it drifts across his windshield and overhearing fragments of conversation swirling around him; he writes poetry into a notebook; he walks his dog; he stops in a bar and drinks exactly one beer. He goes home to his wife, Laura (Golshifteh Farahani). By contrast, Laura’s world is ever changing. New dreams come to her almost daily, each a different and inspired project. Paterson loves Laura and she loves him. He supports her newfound ambitions; she champions his secret gift for poetry. The history and energy of the City of Paterson is a felt presence in the film and its simple structure unfolds over the course of a single week. The quiet triumphs and defeats of daily life are observed, along with the poetry evident in its smallest details.

THE QUIET EARTH January 4th at Schlafly Bottleworks

“God blinked, and the whole world disappeared.”

THE QUIET EARTH (1985) screens Wednesday, January 4th at 8pm at Schlafly Bottleworks Restaurant and Bar (7260 Southwest Ave.- at Manchester – Maplewood, MO 63143) as part of Webster University’s Award-Winning Strange Brew Film Series.

Scientist Zac Hobson (Bruno Lawrence) wakes up on an apparently normal day, to find that all living things on earth have simply vanished from the face of the planet. It transpires that the secret project that he has been working on, called Operation Flashlight, has backfired, and somehow altered the state of the universe. The first half of the film is all about Zac; the discovery that he is all alone, the documenting of his decline from resigned sole survivor to near-madman as the realization of his total solitude bites hard, and how he eventually turns this around in his efforts to contact another living soul. The second half has two more survivors (Joanne, played by Alison Routledge, and burly Maori Api, played by Peter Smith) come into play.

THE QUIET EARTH is awash in atmosphere, brought about by the unfamiliar New Zealand locations, director Geoff Murphy’s refreshing vision, and the haunting and unusual music score by John Charles.

He ending of THE QUIET EARTH is perfect. We are left yearning to know what has transpired, in the same way we were bewildered by Kubrick’s “astronaut-in-a-hotel-room” ending of 2001. I saw THE QUIET EARTH twice theatrically when it was new and was blown away then. It deserves to be re-discovered and hats off to the guys behind the Strange Brew film series for dusting it off.

A Facebook invite can be found HERE

A yummy variety of food from Schlafly’s kitchen is available as are plenty of pints of their famous home-brewed beer.
