Documentary Filmmaker James Lathos’ Finding Joseph I: The H.R. from Bad Brains Documentary On DVD From MVD Entertainment Group On Nov. 3

Bad Brains off and on legendary frontman, Paul “HR” Hudson, is the subject of documentary filmmaker James Lathos’ Finding Joseph I: The H.R. from Bad Brains Documentary.   MVD Entertainment Group will be guiding the DVD release to market on Friday, Nov. 3.

Through interviews with Hudson as well as HR’s fellow musicians and contemporaries, Lathos is able to piece the picture of a complicated artist, who freely ranges between “hardcore” punk rock and reggae (as a solo artist, HR Human Rights).

Interview sessions include the likes of Fugazi’s Ian MacKaye, Fishbone's Angelo Moore, guitarist Vernon Reid of Living Colour, Madonna’s manager and Maverick Records chairman, Guy Oseary and both Hudson’s brother, Earl Hudson (the drummer for Bad Brains) and Hudson’s wife, and in many ways his savior, Lori.

This award-winning documentary (Best Documentary Feature – Philadelphia Independent Film Festival; Grand Jury Prize Best Documentary – San Francisco Independent Film Festival, etc.) is a must for music fans, especially fans of Paul “HR” Hudson and Bad Brains.

Icarus Films Teams With The KimStim Collection On Dec. 5 For DVD Release Of Japanese Filmmaker Ryusuke Hamaguchi’s Happy Hour

Icarus Films will be teaming with The KimStim Collection on Dec. 5 for the domestic double-disc DVD debut of Japanese filmmaker Ryusuke Hamaguchi’s Happy Hour, an intense tale of life, love and careers in Kobe, Japan as experienced by Akari, Jun, Fumi and Sakurako  — four women in their late 30s — who have reached a crossroads in their collective lives which will test their friendships.

Hamaguchi’s film is of Japanese culture; of Japanese theatre.   The superficial nature of a discussion about one’s job or Jun’s (played by Rira Kawamura) forthcoming divorce, are but openings to broader issues that reflect issues, not only in the lives of Hamaguchi’s protagonists, but of modern Japanese society in general.

Happy Hour is presented in Japanese with English subtitles.

In other release news from Icarus Films this week, documentary filmmaker Tancrède Ramonet’s three-part French television mini-series, No Gods, No Masters, will be available in the domestic marketplace on Nov. 21 as double-disc DVD product offering.

Ramonet’s presentation focuses on the subject of anarchy and the history of a broader intellectual movement that dates to middle of the 19^th Century, which is covered in the first segment titled “The Passion for Destruction.”   Here the subject is French radical Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, the “father of anarchism,” and his writings, most notably the 1840 publication of “What is Property? Or, an Inquiry into the Principle of Right and Government” — he declared that property was the equivalent of theft.

The second segment is title “Land and Freedom” and covers the anarchy movement from 1907 through World War I and the rise of Communism as embodied in the Soviet Union (through roughly 1921).

The third segment looks at the Roaring 20s, the Depression and the period through World War II and is titled “In Memory of the Vanquished.”  Here the examination focuses on the disarray of the anarchist movement and the rise of totalitarian regimes — most notably European Fascism and Communism.

As a bonus there is an extended video session with political activist and scholar, Noam Chomsky.

No Gods, No Masters is presented primarily in French with English subtitles.

Cleopatra Music And Film Selects Dec. 8 For The Release Of DVD And Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack Editions Of Culture Club: Live at Wembley

Cleopatra Music & Film, with sales and distribution expertise provided by MVD Entertainment Group, will be serving up DVD and Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack Editions (each SKU featuring a bonus CD) of Culture Club: Live at Wembley on Friday, Dec. 8.

Recorded live at Wembley Stadium on Dec. 14 of last year, this 15-song set featured the likes of “Karma Chameleon,” “It’s a Miracle,” and “Miss Me Blind” from the group’s 1983 Colour by Numbers album and “Do You Really Want To Hurt Me” and “Time (Clock of the Heart)” from their 1982 debut album, Kissing to be Clever … and “The War Song” and “Move Away,” among others, from later Culture Club recordings.

Bonus features include video sessions with the band members.

Paramount Home Media Tabs Dec. 19 As The DVD Debut Date For The CBS Home Entertainment Release Of Salvation: Season One

An asteroid is hurtling towards our bright blue marble and something must be done or we are all going to go the way of the dinosaurs.   That’s the premise of the CBS series, Salvation.

News arrived this week that CBS Home Entertainment and Paramount Home Media will team for the four-disc DVD launch of Salvation: Season One (the jury is still out as to a second season) on Dec. 19.   All 13 episodes are included in the set.

An unlikely group forms to come up with a plan — an MIT student by the name of Liam (Charlie Rowe) and hi-tech zillionaire named Darius (Santiago Cabrera) team up with a member of Defense Department (Ian Anthony Dale) to come up with a plan.   But they soon find that there are forces at work with other plans!

Bonus features include the Comic-Con session from earlier this year, deleted and extended scenes and a pair of featurettes — “What Would You Do?” and “Science Face: Technology.”

In other release news this week from Paramount Home Media, the first four Transformers films — Transformers (2007), Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009), Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011) and Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014) will be available on Dec. 5 as 4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray Combo Pack selections.   

On the same date, director Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar will also be available at retail as a 4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray SKU (Amazon was up and then down with a Dec. 5 release date for Dunkirk … and certain European markets are echoing a first week of December release for Nolan’s Dunkirk).   Does Paramount know something that we’d all like to know?
