About The Film Noir Classic Collection Vol. 4
Act of Violence (1948)/ Mystery Street(1950)
This grim melodrama stars Van Heflin as former World War II pilot Frank Enley, a respected contractor and family man, whose wife is played by Janet Leigh. When his troubled, crippled bombardier (Robert Ryan) shows up with a gun and a score to settle, it becomes apparent that perhaps neither man is what he seems to be. Director Fred Zinnemann (The Day of the Jackal) guides a searing Act of Violence, "the first postwar noir to take a challenging look at the ethics of men in combat" (Eddie Muller, Dark City: The Lost World of Film Noir)."
Murder lives on Mystery Street. John Sturges (The Great Escape) directs a revealing-"CSI"-type film about a Boston cop (Ricardo Montalban) called upon to solve the mystery surrounding a skeleton found on a Cape Cod beach with the help of a Harvard forensic expert (Bruce Bennett).
Special Features:
Act of Violence
* Commentary by Dr. Drew Casper
* Act of Violence: Dealing With the Devil.
* Theatrical Trailer
Mystery Street
* Commentary by Alain Silver and Elizabeth Ward
* Mystery Street: Murder at Harvard
* Theatrical Trailer
Crime Wave (1954)/ Decoy (1946)
Legendary director Andre de Toth (House of Wax) was at the helm of this outstanding, but little-known L.A. noir about three escaped convicts from San Quentin who rob a gas station and kill a motorcycle cop. The hardboiled cop heading the manhunt is Sterling Hayden (The Asphalt Jungle).
Recent Film Noir festivals have provided an opportunity for audiences to rediscover truly forgotten films. Such is the case with Monogram Pictures Decoy, in which a drop-dead gorgeous dame Margo Shelby, played by British newcomer, Jean Gille, revives her gangster boyfriend after he dies in the gas chamber, not because she's so fond of him, but because he knows where the loot is buried. This is a film that very few people have ever seen, but will likely be the subject of much cinephile discussion after its broad availability in this new Film Noir V.4 collection.
Special Features:
Crime Wave
* Commentary by James Ellroy and Eddie Muller
* Crime Wave: The City is Dark
* Theatrical trailer
Decoy
* Commentary by Stanley Rubin and Glenn Erickson
* Decoy: A Map to Nowhere
* Theatrical trailer
Illegal (1955)/ The Big Steal (1949)
When his career as a D.A. unexpectedly collapses, tenacious Victor Scott turns to defending criminal lowlifes. Edward G. Robinson plays Scott in this snappy remake of The Mouthpiece (1932) directed by Lewis Allen (The Uninvited). Film buffs' moments include Jayne Mansfield's scenes and real-life art expert Robinson's comments on a crime lord's collection of paintings.
Out of the Past's Robert Mitchum and Jane Greer reteam in The Big Steal, speeding along Mexican roadways in pursuit of a grifter who has a suitcase that may be stuffed with cash. This film, both tense and humorous at the same time is directed by Clint Eastwood's filmmaking mentor, Don Siegel.
Special Features:
Illegal
* Commentary by Nina Foch and Patricia King Hanson
* Illegal: Marked for Life
* Behind the Cameras: Edward G. Robinson
* Theatrical trailer
The Big Steal
* Commentary by Richard B. Jewell
* The Big Steal: Look Behind You
They Live by Night (1948)/ Side Street (1950)
Young escaped convict Bowie (Farley Granger) and Keechie (Cathy O'Donnell) just want to let their new love blossom. But thugs like Chicamaw 'One-Eye' Mobley (Howard da Silva) have other ideas, forcing Bowie to be their accomplice. They Live by Night, a story of doomed and desperate love is director Nicholas Ray's (Rebel Without a Cause) debut, and is "one of the most poignant and unforgettable noirs ever made" (The Movie Guide).
In Side Street, Granger and O'Donnell team again as struggling marrieds in an unforgiving Manhattan. In a moment of weakness, the letter carrier gives in to temptation and steals what he thinks is a few hundred dollars. But its $30,000, tied to some ruthless blackmailers, and Granger's attempt to return it puts him in deeper peril. Anthony Mann (Border Incident) directs with a flair that makes the city a key player in this noir nerve-jangler.
Special Features:
They Live by Night
* Commentary by Farley Granger and Eddie Muller
* They Live by Night: The Twisted Road
* Theatrical trailer
Side Street
* Commentary by Richard Schickel
* Side Street: Where Temptation Lurks.
* Theatrical trailer
Where Danger Lives (1950)/ Tension (1950)
Robert Mitchum, playing a doctor smitten with desire for a beautiful patient (Faith Domergue) who's brought in after an attempted suicide, journeys Where Danger Lives when the would-be lovebirds go on the lam. Ahead is Mexico, miles back is the husband's (Claude Rains) corpse. But the final destination for the illicit pair could be a dead end in this dark gem of a film directed by John Farrow (The Big Clock).
Noir favorite Audrey Totter (The Set-Up) leaves her mousy but devoted spouse (Richard Basehart) for another man, and the Tension mounts as he plots revenge, then sees his plan take an unexpected turn. Cyd Charisse, Barry Sullivan and William Conrad co-star in a bitter tale of the postwar American dream frayed into nightmare.

Via BoingBoing: The engine pulling the Disneyland railroad is now burning biodiesel.
For Disneyland, the switch to biodiesel saves as much as 150,000 gallons of diesel fuel each year, while potentially reducing carbon dioxide emissions by up to 80 percent, Disneyland Resort spokesman Bob Tucker said Monday.
Good on them. It's a small, global warming-threatened world, after all.
--------------------------
U2's Bono and the Edge have signed on to write a "Spider-Man" musical. I doubt it could be this good.
The musicians will be working with the show's producers to create a soundtrack for the webbed crusader's Broadway debut, with rehearsals to begin later this summer.
Julie Taynor will be directing the show and previously adapted the Lion King for the stage with impressive results.
----------------------------
The third season of "Doctor Who" is doing splendidly on British TV.
The current Doctor Who series is the third most popular TV show in Britain with an audience share of 40%, representing more than 8 million viewers.
----------------------------
Countering reports that he'll be the voice of Galactus in the upcoming "Fantastic Four" film, Laurence Fishburne actually will be the voice of the Silver Surfer.

Lost clues: Catch-22 ep. 17, season 3
Synopsis:
Desmond has future visions again. This time he sees someone coming to the island to rescue him. He believes it's his girlfriend Penny, seen at the end of last season having successfully located the island.
In the vision, Desmond is with Jin, Charlie and Hurley, traveling through the jungle to reach a parachutist. Along the way, Charlie is killed by a booby trap.
Desmond doesn't want Charlie to die, but feels he must get the the other three to come along with him to make his vision of rescue come true. Hurley, who realizes Desmond has had another vision, invites Charlie and Jin along on a "camping trip."
After a long hike on the beach, Desmond and the rest make a campfire. Suddenly they hear a helicopter approaching but it crashes in the ocean. Then they see a flashing light--attached to a parachutist--land in the jungle.
In the morning, they hike into the jungle--just like in Desmond's vision--to reach the parachutist. But just as the booby trap is set to strike, Desmond can't help but change things. He rescues Charlie.
Soon after, the four reach a female parachutist--apparently dead--hanging in a tree. Desmond cuts her loose, certain it's Penny and that she's perished. On the ground, though, the parachutist's helmet is removed and it's not Penny, but a stranger. She says Desmond's name and then passes out or dies--we don't know yet.
In flashbacks, we see that Desmond tried to become a monk before meeting Penny, but didn't he evidently didn't have the right stuff. The head monk tells Desmond his destiny lies elsewhere.
Clues, observations, speculation:
* The head monk has a picture on his desk of himself and the lady from the clock shop Desmond met in episode 3.8: "Flashes Before Your Eyes."
* The head monk and Desmond discuss the Biblical story of Abraham and Isaac in relation and the notion of sacrifice. The "Catch 22" in the episode's title and Desmond's wrestling with the morality of saving Charlie and potentially jeopardizing rescue ties into that too.
* The wine made at the monastery is labeled Moriah. This is the location of Temple Mount in Jerusalem, where Abraham is told by God to sacrifice his son Isaac as a test of faith.
* In the Bible, Isaac is the father of Jacob. On "Lost," of course, the Others keep making references to Jacob, who seems to be their leader.
* Why did the rescue chopper crash?
* And, since helicopters can't travel super far on their own, where did the chopper take off from? Land nearby? A ship? Presumably the pilot was in communication with others back home. Do they know what happened, that the helicopter was within sight of the island?
* Any chance the survivors can juice up the parachutist's satellite phone?
* The parachutist's copy of Joseph Heller's "Catch-22" was a Portuguese edition. At the end of last season the people who note the electromagnetic disturbance from the island and tell Penny they've located Desmond are speaking Portuguese. Who are these folks?
* What's up with the hula doll found among the parachutist's stuff?
* In Desmond's vision it's important that Hurley discover the wire that leads out of the sea, across the beach and into the jungle. Last time Hurley followed this wire he ended up finding Rousseau. What's up with this wire? Is it a method for somehow locating the island?
* Was the parachutist alone on the helicopter? If there were others on board, are they alive?
* How could she have parachuted from the chopper? Is this possible? Or did she come from someplace else at essentially the same time as the chopper crash?
