(New York Post). 07/24/2018 888574662318 Ready Player One [3D Blu-ray + Blu-ray + Digital Combo Pack] BD- 50 2018 From filmmaker Steven Spielberg comes the science fiction action adventure Ready Player One, based on Ernest Clines bestseller of the same name. The film is set in 2045, with the world on the brink of chaos and collapse. But the people have found salvation in the OASIS, an expansive virtual reality universe created by the brilliant and eccentric James Halliday (Mark Rylance). When Halliday dies, he leaves his immense fortune to the first person to find a digital Easter egg he has hidden somewhere in the OASIS, sparking a contest that grips the entire world. When an unlikely young hero named Wade Watts (Tye Sheridan) decides to join the contest, he is hurled into a breakneck, reality-bending treasure hunt through a fantastical universe of mystery, discovery and danger 07/24/2018 888574655761 Wreck of the Mary Deare, The DVD-9 1959 The freighter Mary Deare is adrift in stormy seas. Her bulkhead is leaking, her captain is dead, and the crew has abandoned ship -- all except for one man. That man is exhausted first officer Gideon Patch, who has taken command. Appearances indicate hes a madman. But Patch isnt a man who relies on appearances. The Wreck of the Mary Deare is part seafaring adventure, part mystery, part courtroom drama and, with screen titans Gary Cooper and Charlton Heston onboard, all heroic. Michael Anderson (Around the World in 80 Days, Logans Run) directs from a screenplay by famed spy novelist Eric Ambler. And Richard Harris, in his first year of film acting, gives notice of his talent with an intense portrayal of a seaman who may be part of a duplicitous agenda. Were in treacherous (and exciting) waters -- all ahead, full steam! 07/24/2018 888574655815 Uncertain Glory DVD-9 1944 In one of the best performances of his career, Errol Flynn (The Charge of the Light Brigade) plays an escaped criminal whose fate is changed not by the detective who has apprehended him but by the Nazis who have taken hostages in war-torn France. Flynn plays Jean Picard, a convicted criminal who escapes the guillotine when an air raid strikes Paris. On the run in Bordeaux, he is pursued and captured by determined detective Marcel Bonet (Oscar winner* Paul Lukas), who has been tracking him for many years. But when the train back to Paris is derailed by saboteurs and the Nazis retaliate by taking innocent hostages, Picard makes Bonet a most unusual offer: Since he is going to die anyway, let him surrender as the saboteur so that the Nazis will free the hostages. Bonet agrees, setting in a motion a surprising turn of events. 07/24/2018 888574658151 Flame and the Arrow, The DVD-9 1950 Fans of screen swashbuckling found a successor to the legendary Douglas Fairbanks Sr. and Errol Flynn when Burt Lancaster brought a unique blend of exuberance and swagger to this exciting Robin Hood- like yarn. In medieval Lombardy, wily Dardo the Arrow (Lancaster) leads the peasantry in revolt against a vile Hessian warlord (Frank Allenby) and wins the hand of a lady (Virginia Mayo). Lancasters former circus partner Nick Cravat plays Dardos comical sidekick. Amid the Technicolor array of mammoth sets, elaborate costumes and vivid pageantry, the pair puts on a rollicking display of acrobatic roughhousing. They leave earthbound foes looking like 90-pound weaklings -- and will leave you breathlessly dazzled. 07/24/2018 888574658182 Northern Pursuit DVD-9 1943 The worlds most famous swashbuckler, Errol Flynn, dons a Canadian police uniform in this slickly done drama (Leonard Maltins Movie and Video Guide) also starring Julie Bishop and Helmut Dantine. Flynn (The Adventures of Robin Hood) is Steve Wagner, a Canadian Mountie of German descent. When Nazis sneak into Canada and all but their leader are killed in an avalanche, Steve rescues him and, with their German background in common, attempts to befriend him. The Nazi is subsequently arrested, but later breaks out of jail, taking several fellow prisoners with him. Their diabolical plan: to bomb the canal that binds Canada and England. But Steve and the Canadian police have a plan of their own -- a brilliant strategy to thwart the Nazi scheme. 07/24/2018 888574690588 Edge of Darkness DVD-9 1943 In 1930, director Lewis Milestone won an Academy Award * for his eloquent anti-war masterpiece, All Quiet on the Western Front. But with Edge of Darkness, made in 1943 during the dark days of the German blitzkrieg, Milestone displays no such pacifist sentiments. Indeed, this remarkable drama, set in a small Norwegian village, pays tribute to the heroic spirit of common people taking up arms against the Nazi invaders. Errol Flynn delivers a fine, understated performance as a common fisherman who leads the towns resistance efforts. Ann Sheridans strong character reflects the strength of all womankind. And featured in the superb ensemble cast are Walter Huston, Ruth Gordon and Judith Anderson. 07/24/2018 888574651657 Knots Landing: The Complete First Season DVD-9 Welcome to Knots Landing, where Gary Ewing -- the troubled middle son of the powerful Ewing clan of Dallas -- decides to start life anew. And what could be more reassuring, more nurturing, than an upscale California cul-de-sac in the burbs, complete with lovely homes and happy families? But it doesnt take long for Gary and his down home wife Valene to discover that Big D doesnt have a monopoly on adultery, deceit, cunning and greed. A spinoff of Dallas, Knots Landing became its own phenomenon, running for 14 gloriously passionate seasons of broken promises, broken hearts and broken marriages. Meet the neighbors in all 13 Season One episodes in this 5-disc set, where the dirty tricks and double-dealing would make J.R. proud.
