United Kingdom released, Blu-Ray/Region B DVD: LANGUAGES: English ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), English ( Dolby DTS-HD Master Audio ), English ( Subtitles ), WIDESCREEN (1.85:1), SPECIAL FEATURES: Booklet, Commentary, Documentary, Interactive Menu, Making Of, Remastered, Scene Access, Short Film, Trailer(s), SYNOPSIS: Three years after helping to achieve some of the most amazing imagery in cinema history with 2001: A Space Odyssey, special effects maestro Douglas Trumbull made an auspicious directorial debut at age 29 with the environmentally themed science fiction classic Silent Running. In the distant future, plant life on our planet is extinct. Remaining specimens are cultivated in vast greenhouse-like domes orbiting in space. Bruce Dern (Marnie, Coming Home, The ‘burbs, Monster) stars as Freeman Lowell, dedicated botanist aboard the “Valley Forge”, awaiting the call to refoliate Earth – despite the scorn of his crewmates. When an order comes to instead destroy the domes and return home, Lowell takes matters into his own hands, beginning a long and lonely voyage into the unknown. With its remarkable special effects (especially the robot drones Huey, Dewey, and Louie); glorious score (including songs performed by Joan Baez); memorable sound effects (created by Joseph Byrd from the cult band The United States of America); a screenplay co-written by Michael Cimino (The Deer Hunter) and Steven Bochco (Hill Street Blues), and an impassioned central performance from Dern, Silent Running remains a uniquely contemplative and haunting adventure that continues to make hippies of young children, even today. …Silent Running ( Running Silent ) (Blu-Ray)

Sub-titled, “Best Movies of Mystery, Suspense and Film Noir”, this book examines 192 examples of the genre. Complete credits and release information are provided for each film. From “Abbott and Costello Meet the Killer, Boris Karloff” through to “Woman on the Run”, author John Howard Reid takes a look at one of Hollywood’s favorite genres, covering not only famous movies like “The Kennel Murder Case”, “The Maltese Falcon”, “The Thin Man”, “Notorious” and “Murder, My Sweet”, but the series films like “Charlie Chan at the Opera”, “The Falcon in Hollywood” and “Sherlock Holmes and the Scarlet Claw”. Many of these films are now widely distributed on DVD. Life is full of surprises. When JHR wrote this book, he had little hope that a masterpiece like “Daughter of Shanghai” would surface on DVD. But it is now available. So are all of the Thin Man movies; engrossing film noir entries like “The Dark Corner”, “Hangover Square”, “Beware, My Lovely”, “Johnny Apollo” and “The Second Woman”; famous foreign films like “The Wages of Fear”; and even extraordinary thrillers like “Confession” and “The Clouded Yellow”. Here is a book that will not only awaken wonderful memories, but provide an informative and reliable guide for further viewing.
