Brokeback Mountain [DVD] [2005]
(Brand:Entertainment in Video)
A sad, melancholy ache pervades Brokeback Mountain, Ang Lee'shaunting, moving film that, like his other movies, explores societal
constraints and the passions that lurk underneath. This time, however,
instead of taking on ancient China, 19th-century England, or '70s
suburbia, Lee uses the tableau of the American West in the early '60s
to show how two lovers are bound by their expected roles, how they
rebel against them, and the repercussions for each of doing so--but
the romance here is between two men. Ennis Del Mar (Heath Ledger) and
Jack Twist (Jake Gyllenhaal) are two itinerant ranchers looking for
work in Wyoming when they meet and embark on a summer sheepherding job
in the shadow of titular Brokeback Mountain. The taciturn Ennis,
uncommunicative in the extreme, finds himself opening up around the
gregarious Jack, and the two form a bond that surprisingly catches
fire one cold night out in the wilderness. Separating at the end of
the summer, each goes on to marry and have children, but a reunion
years later proves that, if anything, their passion for each other has
grown significantly. And while Jack harbours dreams of a life
together, the tight-lipped Ennis is unable to bring himself to even
consider something so revolutionary. Its open, unforced depiction of
love between two men made Brokeback an instant cultural touchstone,
for both good and bad, as it was tagged derisively as the "gay cowboy
movie," but also heralded as a breakthrough for mainstream cinema.
Amidst all the hoopla of various agendas, though, was a quiet,
heartbreaking love story that was both of its time and universal--it
was the quintessential tale of star-crossed lovers, but grounded in an
ever-changing America that promised both hope and despair. Adapted by
Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana from Annie Proulx's short story, the
movie echoes the sparse bleakness of McMurtry's The Last Picture Show
with its fading of the once-glorious West; but with Lee at the helm,
it also resembles The Ice Storm, as it showed the ripple effects of a
singular event over a number of people. As always, Lee's work with
actors is unparalleled, as he elicits graceful, nuanced performances
from Michelle Williams and Anne Hathaway as the wives affected overtly
and subliminally by their husbands' affair, and Gyllenhaal brings
surprising dimensions to a character that could have easily just been
a puppy dog of a boy. It's Ledger, however, who's the breakthrough in
the film, and his portrait of an emotionally repressed man both undone
and liberated by his feelings is mesmerizing and devastating. Spare in
style but rich with emotion, Brokeback Mountain earns its place as a
classic modern love story. --Mark Englehart...

I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry [DVD] [2007]
(Brand:Uca Catalogue)
If you don’t care too much for Adam Sandler’s comedies, then I NowPronounce You Chuck & Larry is absolutely not the film to convert you.
But if you are one of the many who continually enjoys his films, then
his latest is well worth checking out. I Now Pronounce You Chuck &
Larry sees Sandler as Chuck and Kevin James as Larry, a pair of
firefighters who become domestic partners to help protect the
latter’s children. It perhaps goes without saying that this is a
reluctant union, and Sandler’s character goes to great lengths to
demonstrate the fact that he’s heterosexual. Yet if you can tolerate
the cheapness of much of the material, it’s hard not to find
yourself chuckling at it. The film boasts a supporting cast including
the likes of Jessica Biel (as a conveniently attractive lawyer), Ving
Rhames and Steve Buscemi, and does manage to consistently serve up the
laughs. It also finds room to squeeze in Dan Aykroyd and Rob Schneider
as well. And while there’s nothing particularly clever about I Now
Pronounce You Chuck & Larry, it very much does what it offers on the
proverbial tin. It’s Sandler, in a fish out of water situation,
reacting against it. Switch your brain and sensitivities off, and you
may well have a ball with it. --Jon Foster...
