ea. vol: color. 88 min. Lifetime, dist. by A&E Home Entertainment, 800-933-6249; shopaetv.com. 2010. $14.95. Closed-captioned. F/TV
Combine unrequited love, the stereotypical high school jocks and nerds, financial corruption, flirtations and assorted notions about romance, throw in time travel and a “be careful what you wish for” lesson, and you have How I Married My High School Crush, a romantic comedy of sorts with lessons about friendship and a warning about wishes. If that sounds like a lot to cover in an 88-minute movie, it is, and none of it is carried off successfully. The best part is a running joke about the Rolling Stones’ farewell tour. The characters are clichés, the time travel concept is silly, and the movie is boring; not recommended.
By contrast, I Do (but I Don’t), based on the 2003 novel of the same name by Cara Lockwood, is a step up not only in plot but also in believability. Denise Richards is a young soon-to-be-divorced wedding planner who struggles with assorted “bridezillas.” She meets the man of her dreams, a handsome fireman (Dean Cain), but it appears that he is marrying the client of her nightmares. Eventually, the right people, who are very likable, get together, and we have the inevitable Lifetime movie happy ending. This lightweight and undemanding program is appropriate for public libraries but is not a necessary purchase.—Joan Greenberg, Warminster, PA
Napoleon & Love. 3 discs. color. 468+ min. Reginald Collin & others, Thames Television Prod., FremantleMedia, dist. by Acorn Media, 888-870-8047; www.acornonline.com. 2011. DVD ISBN 9781598285406. $59.99. SDH subtitles. F
British television series originally broadcast on PBS are usually splendid offerings, but this one, sadly, is an exception. Featuring an outstanding cast led by Ian Holm, Billie Whitelaw, and Peter Bowles, Napoleon & Love portrays its protagonist as a reckless, ruthless warrior, deeply focused on the importance of his artillery, intensely ambitious, pathologically impatient, totally lacking in social graces, and clueless about women. While all of these characteristics might well have been true of the real man, he is played in this 1974 production for a fool. Moreover, the dialog is trite, the characters are stereotypes, and the plot lines compare poorly with those of daytime soaps. The only praiseworthy element is the production values, which bolster the limp scripts with gorgeous settings, lavish costumes, beautiful music, and fine camerawork. Though it offers a lot of viewing at a modest price, Napoleon & Love won’t be missed if it fails to be included in public library collections.—Sheila S. Intner, Prof. Emerita, Simmons GSLIS at Mt.

Art of War: The Story of the First World War as Told Through Art. color & b/w. 49 min. Richard Pawelko, Zip TV & S4C Prod., dist. by Kultur, 732-229-2343; www.kultur.com. 2010. ISBN 9780769789941. $19.99. ART–GENERAL/HIST
World War I was termed the Great War because new mechanized weapons resulted in carnage on such a vast scale. Initially, artists and intellectuals embraced the conflict as a way of sweeping away the old, established ruling order in Europe. Posters and art reflecting each country’s point of view rendered the war in a heroic, patriotic way, and soldier-artists rushed to the front lines. The era leading up to the conflict was marked by an explosion of modern art influences, ranging from cubism to expressionism and futurism. As enthusiasm for the war quickly faded, artists employed fragmented, jagged images to portray trench warfare, night fighting, and new, demonic weapons like mustard gas. This documentary describes the contributions of such unlikely artists as Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall, Fernand Léger, and even society painter John Singer Sargent. However, lesser-known artists on all sides provided some of the most graphic, memorable scenes, for example, German Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, who survived the war but committed suicide after some of his work was destroyed and denounced as “degenerate” by the Nazis. Ultimately, the artists tried to exorcize the spirit of war by showing common soldiers as brothers in arms, giving the viewer a timeless and universal connection to the suffering. This film is highly recommended for school and public library art collections. [The much-praised new Lincoln Center production of War Horse, based on Michael Morpurgo’s 2007 children’s novel, is sure to ignite interest in all things World War I.—Ed.]—Stephen Rees, formerly with Levittown Lib., PA
Araya. b/w. 82+ min. In Spanish w/English subtitles. Margot Benacerraf, dist. by Milestone Film & Video, 800-603-1104; www.arayafilm.com. 2011. DVD ISBN 9781933920221. $29.95. FILM
Neglected for half a century until this 50th-anniversary version was released in theaters in 2009, Araya, which shared the Cannes International Critics Prize in 1959 with Alain Renais’s Hiroshima, Mon Amour but was never in wide release, is now available for the first time on DVD. Venezuelan filmmaker Benacerraf, considered a giant of Latin American cinema, sees her film not as documentary or fiction but rather as a “tone poem” that marries stark visuals, music, and narrative to evoke a time and culture that has been lost forever. Araya is a barren and harsh peninsula that juts into the Caribbean off northern Venezuela. Its main feature is a huge salt marsh, which has produced that precious commodity for more than 450 years. The film encompasses 24 hours in the lives of three families who follow routines established by their ancestors centuries ago: the Pereda and Salaz families are salineros, or salt workers, while the Ortiz family fish to provide both sustenance and income. The stunning photography and sensitive storytelling draw one into the realities and beauty of their lives, just as industrialization slowly but inevitably starts to destroy their unique culture. Along with restored footage, the DVD has a revived Spanish-language soundtrack with new English subtitles as well as a French-language soundtrack. Bonus features include Benacerraf’s first film, Reveron (1953), and the documentary The Film of Her Life: Araya, plus loads more. Of particular interest to this reviewer are the updates on Araya today. This film is essential for serious cinema collections and highly recommended for general film lovers, too.

Ingrid Bergman in Sweden. 3-disc boxed set. b/w. 269 min. In Swedish w/English subtitles. Gustaf Molander & Per Lindberg, AB Svensk Filmindustri, dist. by Kino Intl., 800-562-3330; www.kino.com. 2011. DVD UPC 738329074920. $39.95. FILM
Before producer David O. Selznick brought her to Hollywood, the beautiful and talented Ingrid Bergman cut her teeth on indigenous fare, including these three films either long unavailable or only now debuting on home video. Intermezzo (1936), remade just a few years later with Leslie Howard, stars Bergman as a concert pianist who has an affair with a married violinist. Less chaste than in the Production Code–tempered remake, Bergman’s character also figures less prominently. A Woman’s Face (1938) tells the rather melodramatic tale of a facially scarred blackmailer who has an opportunity to make her life over, thanks to a generous plastic surgeon. Both are directed by Molander, while Lindberg helms June Night (1940), about a free-spirited young woman who survives a spurned lover’s murder attempt only to find herself later torn between him and a lovestruck doctor. The picture quality here is decent if less than ideal—no extras except for liner notes. These movies are unremarkable, but seeing Bergman in her early years makes this set attractive for her many fans.—Jeff T. Dick, Davenport, IA
Bob Dylan Dont Look Back. 2 discs. b/w. D.A. Pennebaker, dist. by Docurama c/o New Video, 800-314-8822; www.newvideo.com. 2011. Blu-ray ISBN 9781422916964. $29.95.
The Other Side of the Mirror: Bob Dylan Live at the Newport Folk Festival, 1963–1965. b/w. 83+ min. Murray Lerner, MLF Prods., dist. by Columbia Music Video/Sony Music Entertainment c/o Amazon.com. 2011. Blu-ray UPC 886978746290. $24.98. MUSIC
Among the Bob Dylan titles released in the music legend’s 70th birthday year are the Blu-ray debuts of two essential films covering what many consider his most creative and influential period. Dont Look Back chronicles Dylan’s 1965 solo acoustic British tour and is rightfully acknowledged as one of the finest music documentaries available. The cinéma vérité approach gives viewers a revealing look at the emerging star on and off the stage. Generous extras include a companion film of outtakes, commentary by director Pennebaker and Dylan friend Bobby Neuwirth, and a lengthy and entertaining exclusive new interview with Pennebaker and acclaimed critic Greil Marcus. All but the interview are available on the 2007 Tour Deluxe edition DVD ( 978).
The Other Side of the Mirror is a concert film comprising three Newport Folk Festival performances. Sets from 1963 and 1964 feature Dylan and special guests (e.g., Joan Baez, of course; Peter, Paul and Mary; the Freedom Singers) performing beautiful renditions of songs from his early folk catalog. The gem of the collection, though, is the legendary 1965 electric performance in which Dylan debuted his controversial new plugged-in sound with a blistering “Maggie’s Farm.” It is a must-see moment not only for Dylan fans but for anyone interested in the cultural significance of popular music. The bonus interview with director Lerner is also on the 2007 DVD release (UPC 886971446692). Both titles benefit noticeably from Blu-ray’s sharper audio and video quality and are highly recommended for all collections.—Douglas King, Univ. of South Carolina Lib., Columbia
Virtuoso: The Olga Samaroff Story. color & b/w. 60+ min. Donna Kline & Wendy Slick, Vivaci 1 Prods., dist. by Filmakers Library, 212-808-4980; www.filmakers.com; www.olgasamaroff.com. 2011. DVD $295 (Rental: $85). Public performance. MUSIC
Olga Samaroff (1880–1948), an acclaimed U.S. concert pianist, was truly a remarkable woman. This lovely tribute examines all aspects of her life, e.g., as the influential, career-boosting wife of conductor Leopold Stokowski; the first published female music critic in New York City; an early piano recording star; among the first piano teachers at Juilliard; a pioneer in audience education; an outspoken critic of “gender inequality” in pay; and a mother as well. Basically the filmed version of Kline’s well-received 1996 biography, An American Virtuoso on the World Stage: Olga Samaroff Stokowski (Texas A&M Univ.), and narrated by mezzo-soprano Frederica von Stade, Virtuoso rests on a substantial research foundation. Still photos of the beautiful young performer and archival footage are artfully employed, with testimonies from people who studied with and knew Samaroff pertinently inserted. Piano excerpts play under filmed female hands at the keyboard. Extras contain additional commentary. All libraries owning the book should consider buying this film. A good choice for women’s studies programming.—Bonnie Jo Dopp, Librarian Emerita, Univ. of Maryland, College Park
Collision: Christopher Hitchens vs. Douglas Wilson; Is Christianity Good for the World? color. 88+ min. Darren Doane, Crux Pictures/Gorilla Poet Prod., dist. by TOPICS Entertainment, www.topics-ent.com. 2010. DVD ISBN 9781600777257. $19.99. REL
Filmed during a promotional tour for their book, Is Christianity Good for the World?, Christopher Hitchens, an antitheist, and Douglas Wilson, a Christian minister, continue the lively discussion that spawned it. Employing a cinéma vérité style, the production, filmed on various college campuses (one a theological college) and other venues, does not present “a debate” but rather explores the world views of two strangers who knew each other well through email but had never before met. Their initial discomfort is obvious and never completely bridged. They have such differing viewpoints, and it becomes clear that neither will significantly influence the other’s thinking. Viewers, depending on their own beliefs, will probably identify more with one or the other of them. The film needs—and has—subtitles, because the recording of their voices is not always clear. Bonus features include Hitchens and Wilson praising the film’s two great strengths: it doesn’t take sides, and it demonstrates how civil discourse can exist over a very contentious issue. Highly recommended for public and academic libraries.—Kathleen Sullivan, Phoenix P.L.
Forgotten Miracle: The Story of the 1960 Gold Medal Hockey Team. color & b/w. 65 min. Tommy Haines & Andrew Sherburne, Golden Puck Pictures & Northland Films, dist. by Northland Films, 319-621-7011; www.northlandfilms.com/libraries. 2010. DVD $34.95. SPORTS
The U.S. hockey team’s victory over the Russians in the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, NY, known as the “Miracle on Ice,” gets more fanfare, but Forgotten Miracle tells the lesser-known story of an American hockey achievement of arguably greater historical import. The U.S. team won its first hockey gold medal in the 1960 games in Squaw Valley, CA, beating more highly touted teams, including the heavily favored Canadians in an early round and an experienced Czechoslovakian squad in a thrilling championship match. Game footage, television news clips, pencil drawings of key scenes, and vivid and well-told reminiscences are seamlessly interwoven here to tell this dramatic and suspenseful story of perseverance and camaraderie. The winning players share memories of not only the Olympics but also international tournaments leading up to Squaw Valley and the aftermath of their unlikely victory. Anyone interested in Olympic hockey history will find this film, produced for the win’s 50th anniversary, informative and engrossing.—Douglas King, Univ. of South Carolina Lib., Columbia
Stan Lee’s Superhumans. Season One. 2 discs. color. 6¼+ hrs. Dominic Hill & others, Off the Fence Prod. for History Channel, dist. by New Video, 800-314-8822; www.newvideo.com. 2010. DVD ISBN 9781422916421. $19.95. TV
Documenting man’s envelope-pushing capabilities provides the focus of this eight-episode History Channel series, now on DVD. The show is hosted by comic book icon Stan Lee, creator of legendary characters like Spider-Man, with sequences reported by Daniel Browning Smith, allegedly the world’s most flexible contortionist. Together, they profile real-life persons said to possess abilities that mimic those of Lee’s creations. Each episode features the likes of the Human Calculator, who performs complex equations with astronomical speed; Rubber Band Man, believed to have the world’s most stretchable skin; and Mind Force, who uses psychokinesis to bring new meaning to the term law of attraction. Their proficiencies are first demonstrated, then investigated by experts to validate and explain these singular talents. The stories screen like part scientific inquiry, part carnival sideshow, with some segments more compelling and credible than others. Pop culture fans and those mesmerized by man’s capacity to test the limits of physicality, consciousness, and ingenuity will likely enjoy this frothy collection of intriguing personalities.—Brent Marchant, Chicago

Millions of people have been displaced and millions more have died as a result of an ongoing war in eastern Africa—the deadliest conflict since World War II. This stark and largely unknown fact is here conveyed as we follow Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Nicholas Kristof and two young people—a doctor and a photographer—as they journey to the devastated eastern Congo. Anchored by scenes of the group’s efforts to get a dying woman to a hospital despite her family’s reluctance and a meeting with a chieftain accused of war crimes and his minions, who claim to be “rebels for Christ,” the film, and Kristof himself, presents a no-nonsense look at a seemingly hopeless situation. It considers the difficulty of getting at the truth (victims aren’t necessarily more trustworthy than perpetrators) and the role (if any) of the journalist in making a difference. The 52-year-old Kristof is an endangered breed of reporter, one who covers difficult and unpopular stories, seeking to overcome our psychic numbness by forcing unpleasant problems onto the political agenda. Bonus features include a Q&A with Kristof and the director. Recommended for journalism and Africa collections.—David Gibbs, Georgetown Univ. Lib., Washington, DC

These three films are meant to introduce the fundamentals of personal finance and consumerism. Know Your Consumer Rights covers rights such as the expectation of product safety and corresponding responsibilities such as using products properly according to manufacturers’ instructions. It also highlights important federal consumer protection laws and enforcement agencies. Understanding Credit Basics spells out what credit is and explains loan types, credit history, the FICO score, and how to use credit wisely. Using Credit Cards delves into the types of credit/charge cards, understanding monthly statements, and how to compare one card to another. All of the programs employ off-screen narration and on-screen graphics. Actors, generally young adults, are shown carrying out activities such as scrutinizing a statement or applying for a loan. While there is some overlap of coverage and even duplication of scenes, these productions provide clear explanations; their brevity should keep the apparent target audience of inexperienced young consumers engaged. Though a bit pricey, these films would be useful in classroom or other group settings, where further discussion could amplify points.—Lawrence Maxted, Gannon Univ. Lib., Erie, PA
College, Inc. color. 60 min. Chris Durrance & John Maggio, Frontline, PBS Home Video, shoppbs.org/education. 2010. DVD ISBN 9781608832835. $24.99; limited public performance $54.95. Closed-captioned. ED
Produced as a Frontline episode for PBS, this informational video explores for-profit higher education institutions, their history, and the investors instrumental in their creation. Campus practices that are specifically followed to ensure their growth and success are discussed, along with the differences between the quality of education and degrees these institutions offer as compared with those granted by traditional schools. Viewers learn that owing to suspect enrollment practices and high levels of student loan defaults, the U.S. Congress and the Department of Education have begun investigations into for-profit universities. Through interviews and on-site visits, the film conveys the importance of issues such as false promises of regional accreditation and aggressive recruitment efforts. Written for a general audience, this program features high-quality visual and audio components. Anyone considering attending college will find this film of interest.—Marianne Eimer, Librarian Emeritus, SUNY at Fredonia
Listen to This. color. 59 min. Juan Baquero, Proximity Films in assoc. with TV Ontario and Bravo!, dist. by Proximity Films, www.listentothisdocumentary.com. 2010. DVD $100; public performance $300. ED
For its soundtrack, Listen to This offers some incredible original songs composed by eight- and nine-year-olds at a school in the Jane-Finch area of Toronto. Helping these children find their own voice is something of a miracle, given that their environment encompasses high rates of poverty, rape, and murder. Through a program he created, pianist Thompson Egbo-Egbo, once such a child, and a group of professional musicians work with these kids to make sense of their own lives through song. The film documents the exciting process of youths composing their own works and performing them. Yet, even here, the real world intrudes, as one student quits the program and another bears the disappointment when her mother tells her that she doesn’t have time to attend the performance. These young composers/performers will capture your heart; their teachers will earn your admiration. Recommended for all arts education collections.—Ernest Jaeger, formerly with North Plainfield Schs., NJ
“Let’s Talk About Sex”: A Revealing Look at Sex and American Youth. color & b/w. 62 min. James Houston, dist. by Docurama c/o New Video, 800-314-8822; www.newvideo.com. 2011. DVD ISBN 9781422917664. $19.95. PSYCH
This documentary about contemporary Western teens and their sexual attitudes and practices is frank, informative, convincing, and sobering, considering the omnipresence of sexualized imagery and the lack of meaningful discourse on sex in North America. Conservatives and prudes may complain of liberal bias, but director Houston—a fashion photographer and commercial director who partnered with nonprofit sexual and reproductive health activist group Advocates for Youth to produce the film—lets the facts speak for themselves. America’s rates of STI transmissions and teen pregnancy are higher than in European countries, where sexuality is treated and discussed as an everyday fact of life; the young are best served by sex education that is offered sooner rather than later, based on accurate information rather than ideology, by parents and educators sharing the responsibility of providing it; and not only religious leaders can help preach the gospel of positive sexual choices and healthy relationships as there are communities that do just that. Suitable for most audiences, this film is essential for all libraries serving youth and/or parents.—J. Osicki, Saint John Free P.L., NB
Stages. color. 82 min. Meerkat Media Collective, dist. by New Day Films, www.newday.com. 2010. $95; acad. libs. $275 (Rental: $85). Public performance. SOC SCI
In true collaborative style, 12 members of the Meerkat Media Collective document 20 weeks of the Phoenix Theater Ensemble’s Evolve Theater Project on New York City’s Lower East Side. Two groups from separate community centers—one comprising older Puerto Rican women and one comprising inner-city youth—join in an innovative activity that opens their hearts and minds. Each individually tells his or her story and then comes together for a triumphant staging of a play embodying those stories. These shared lives transform the play into an interesting amalgam of big-picture issues, e.g., ageism, race, and religion, much as the filmmakers meld the footage of rehearsal and performance into a seamless whole. This heartfelt and thoughtful exploration explodes expectations and illustrates the commonality of people despite distinctions of age, gender, and race. A multiaward winner, Stages would be excellent viewing for those studying social and women’s issues, immigration, drama, or art.—Charli Osborne, Oxford P.L., MI

Rachel Is. color. 67 min. Charlotte Glynn, dist. by Seventh Art Releasing, www.7thart.com. 2010. DVD $59.95; acad. libs. $259. Public performance. disabilities
Rachel is a young adult still living at home. She is finishing her last year of high school and trying to figure out what to do next. Like most people her age, Rachel is frustrated, frightened, excited—a half child, half grown-up. What makes Rachel different is her developmental disability. This portrait of a 21-year-old woman at a critical point in her life is ably expressed by Glynn, Rachel’s filmmaker sister, who takes us into Rachel’s daily routine as she alternately rages at and depends upon their mother, Jane. While Rachel deals with school, work, friends, and boys in her world, Jane attempts to figure out with varying degrees of success how to help Rachel realize her dream of living independently. What gives this film its heart is how very typical Rachel is yet how very different her disability makes her. Poignant, funny, and complex, this film is enlightening and sympathetic. Recommended for families and professionals dealing with these issues.—Ellen Druda, Half Hollow Hills Community Lib., Dix Hills, NY

This award-winning documentary certainly blows the cap off the bottled water industry. Aside from the morality of turning drinking water into a commodity, it seems 40 percent of the frosty “product” is actually municipal tap water, bottled and sold at a huge markup. The focus here is on communities in Georgia, Maine, and North Carolina where multinational corporations are quietly pumping large quantities of water for statewide distribution. The filmmakers name Coca-Cola Co., Nestle S.A., and PepsiCo., representatives of which all declined to be interviewed. Meanwhile, millions of gallons of oil are refined each year in the United States to make single-use polyethylene bottles. Most are discarded, ending up as trash, buried in landfills, or floating in the oceans and waterways. The U.S. Federal Drug Administration is criticized in Senate hearings for not regulating bottled water, independent testing of which has found polutants toluene, styrene, and phalates. Bonus features include extended interviews. Highly recommended for all adults, especially those with a thirst for environmental activism.—David R. Conn, formerly with Surrey Libraries, BC

These two excellent award-winning films deal with bees and beekeeping and especially colony collapse disorder (CCD), the mysterious affliction discovered in 2006 that has destroyed honeybee populations worldwide. Bees, as both videos point out, are responsible for pollinating one-third of the fruits and vegetables we find in grocery stores. No bees in our future equates to no fruit and no vegetables. Colony explores a family of California beekeepers struggling to maintain their livelihood by supplying bees to pollinate almond trees in a declining economy. Although it speculates a bit on the cause of CCD, it concentrates on the condition’s threat to commercial beekeeping, on bee health as an indicator of overall environmental health, and on the scarcity of domestic produce should U.S. bees disappear.
Vanishing of the Bees provides a more focused exploration of CCD causes, which might include monoculture farming and the widespread use since 2003 of systemic pesticides, the effects of which may have been amplified by the certification process for chemical pesticides used in American agriculture. Both films feature commercial beekeepers David Hackenberg (CCD discoverer) and Dave Mendes, and both also include spectacular cinematography and excellent editing. Viewers will likely find Vanishing of the Bees more compelling, as it appears to be closer to identifying the causes of CCD. Both programs are highly recommended.
