MIKE LEIGH’S NAKED ON DVD

RELEASED ON 18 AUGUST 2008

Thin Man Films and Spirit Entertainment proudly present writer-director Mike Leigh’s brilliant and controversial award-winning film Naked on DVD, released individually for the first time on 18 August 2008, priced £15.99 RRP.

Originally released in 1993, Naked is regarded by many as Mike Leigh’s masterpiece. Daring and abrasive, the film follows the eloquent and anarchic Johnny (David Thewlis) on his dark journey through a corrosive world. Rejecting all those who would care for him, the volcanic Johnny hurls himself into a nocturnal journey through London, colliding with the desperate and the dispossessed. A profound and often shocking film, it bursts with ideas and contradictions, and is filtered with love, sex and black humour.

With a virtuoso script and sensational performances from Thewlis and co-stars Katrin Cartlidge and Lesley Sharp, Naked was the winner of the Best Director and Best Actor prizes at the 1993 Cannes Film Festival. The DVD comes complete with an audio commentary by Mike Leigh, David Thewlis and Katrin Cartlidge.

The release of Naked will coincide with that of the DVD debut of Mike Leigh’s latest feature film Happy-Go-Lucky, which will also be released on 18 August 2008 from Momentum Pictures. A laugh-out-loud comedy about having fun, looking for love and getting on with life, Happy-Go-Lucky stars Sally Hawkins as Poppy, a young primary school teacher who is as carefree and anarchic as she is focused and responsible. Life-affirming, fresh and funny, Happy-Go-Lucky won a Silver Bear Award at the Berlin International Film Festival.

Mike Leigh is one of Britain’s most respected film directors, with a career spanning nearly forty years. Always creating his own original screenplays by working in a unique way with his actors, Leigh has earned world-wide critical acclaim for his acutely observed work. While his movies challenge the audience to ask questions and to reflect, they never fail to be moving, funny and highly entertaining. Mike Leigh has won a number of prizes at major international film festivals. Most notably he won the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival in 1996 for Secrets & Lies. He has been nominated for an Academy Award® five times, twice each for Secrets & Lies and Vera Drake (Best Original Screenplay and Best Director) and once for Topsy-Turvy (Best Original Screenplay).

The Mike Leigh DVD Collection, showcasing the writer-director’s outstanding ten feature films in a stunning box set is also currently available to buy, priced £59.99 RRP.

Alec Baldwin (The Departed), Freddie Prinze Jr (I Know What You Did Last Summer), Scott Caan (Ocean’s Thirteen), Jerry Ferrara (Entourage) and Mena Suvari (American Beauty) star in BROOKLYN RULES, a gripping gangster thriller that will appeal to fans of The Sopranos and A Bronx Tale and the genre at large. Icon Home Entertainment releases the film to own on DVD on 11 August 2008.

Written by three-time Emmy winner Terence Winter (The Sopranos), Brooklyn Rules is a powerful story of loyalty, friendship, and sacrifice. Set in Brooklyn circa 1985 against the backdrop of John Gotti’s rise to power, the film revolves around three lifelong friends whose different ambitions threaten to shake their enduring bond.

Michael (Prinze Jr.), the narrator, is a lovable charmer with the soul of a con man who successfully scams his way into the pre-law program at Columbia University. In contrast to Michael’s desire to leave the Brooklyn streets behind, his close friend Carmine (Caan), a handsome ladies man enamoured by the Mafia lifestyle, wants nothing more than to stay there. Rounding out the trio is Bobby (Ferrara), an endearing cheapskate who longs for a simple life of working at the Post Office and settling down with his fiancée.

While at Columbia, Michael falls for a beautiful young student named Ellen (Suvari), a society girl whom he initially wins over with his preppy schoolboy cover. As their relationship blossoms, leaving the streets behind seems increasingly possible, but when Carmine catches the eye of Caesar (Baldwin), a feared mobster who controls their Brooklyn neighbourhood, Michael and Bobby are drawn into that world despite their reluctance to get involved.

Brooklyn Rules comes down to the choices faced by three young men when the right path is not always the easiest to follow, and when being a loyal friend can mean making the ultimate sacrifice.

· Audio Commentary with Director/Producer Michael Corrente and Writer Terence Winter

SPORTS MOVIE

They shoot, they score! From the producers of Wedding Crashers, Sports Movie is the laugh-out-loud comedy that spoofs the best sports movies ever made! Starring David Koechner (Anchorman) and Carl Weathers (Rocky), Sports Movie takes on the likes of Rocky, Field of Dreams, Seabiscuit, Blue Crush, Stick It and The Longest Yard, and slam-dunks its way onto DVD on 18 August 2008 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment.

Coach Fields (Koechner) is pathetic. He has the distinction of being the worst coach in the history of sports that anyone can recall. However, although incompetent and seemingly hopeless, he is convinced by fellow coach Freddie Wiseman (Weathers) to return to the field for one last shot. Assuring his long-suffering wife Barb (Melora Hardin) that he will not ignore his family, Coach moves them to Plainfolk, Texas where he hopes to redeem himself and his reputation.

However, as coach of the football team at Heartland State University, he is saddled with a team of misfits, most of whom don’t know the first thing about the game. It’s up to Coach to use his unorthodox methods to whip this group of rag-tags into shape – both on and off the field. The team begins to improve, even making it to the South-SouthWest Conference Championship where they must face their fiercest opponents yet – The Lone Star Unbeatables. The question raised in every great sports movie must be answered – who will win the final showdown?

Directed by Tom Brady (The Hot Chick), Sports Movie is packed with special features including a director’s commentary and hilarious featurettes. Don’t be a loser with Sports Movie on DVD this August!

GETTIN’ IT

Size does matter in the hilarious sex-comedy GETTIN’ IT released to buy on DVD from Momentum Pictures on 4 August.

Fans of the American Pie films, Road Trip, Van Wilder, and Dude, Where’s My Car will get off on Gettin’ It with its busting beauties and Playboy bunnies eager to shed their clothes upon hearing what must be every man’s urban legend dream – that he’s the possessor of an impressive manhood. Ferraris, exotic locations and extra-large condoms are the order of the day in this gross-out comedy.

Silver (Patrick Censoplano) is a clumsy teenage virgin with raging hormones until a misunderstanding about a box of XXL condoms leads to a little rumour about his supposed giant size. Before long, this former loser is massively popular with kinky strippers, horny housewives and a town full of beautiful women who’ll bare everything for their chance at Silver’s extra something. Can a small-time guy with a suddenly huge sex life now learn the difference between true love and larger-than-life lust? Playboy vixen and notorious ex-baseball wife Jessica Canseco co-stars with Cheryl Dent, Sandra Staggs, Trish Coren and Tara Rice in this coming-of-age comedy about losin’ it, findin’ it, and most of all, GETTIN’ IT!

The twelfth season continues with an all-star cast including Goran Visnjic (Rounders, Elektra), Maura Tierney (Insomnia, Semi-Pro), Mekhi Phifer (8 Mile, Dawn of the Dead) and Parminder Nagra (Bend It Like Beckham, In Your Dreams).

ER Season 12 follows the lives of the Emergency Room staff and doctors of Chicago’s County Hospital, a Level One Trauma Centre where the difference between life and death rests on split-second decisions. Determined to save lives in a place where nothing is taken for granted; everything is uncertain for the team except that another person will be rushed through the emergency room doors in the next moment.

Season 12 continues with 22 more electrifying episodes, following the private lives of the employees at the emergency room and drawing viewers into this classic drama all over again. Storylines include a severe flooding of diverse patients, a baby involved in a suspicious car crash with her mother, a heart-attack victim visited by his sex-therapist, and a comatose woman who suddenly awakes.

This award-winning drama has received 19 Emmy Award wins and 92 Emmy Award nominations, 1 Golden Globe Award win and 25 Golden Globe nominations and combined with consistently good plots and storylines throughout the twelve series, this DVD is the perfect prescription for all hospital drama fans to own.

Written by Six Feet Under’s Nancy Oliver, the heartfelt and critically-acclaimed comedy, Lars And The Real Girl tells the story of Lars Lindstrom, a loveable introvert whose emotional baggage has kept him from fully embracing life. Starring the Academy-Award nominated Ryan Gosling and with a stellar supporting cast including Emily Mortimer and Patricia Clarkson, this endearing and tender story is released to buy and rent on DVD on 18 August 2008 from MGM and Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment.

Lars Lindstrom (Gosling; Half Nelson, The Notebook, Fracture) is an awkwardly shy young man in a small northern town who finally brings home the girl of his dreams to his brother Gus (Paul Schneider; All The Real Girls, The Assassination of Jesse James by Robert Coward Ford) and sister-in-law, Karin's (Mortimer; The Pink Panther, Match Point) home. The only problem is that she's not real - she's a sex doll Lars ordered off the internet. But sex is not what Lars has in mind, but rather a deep, meaningful relationship. His sister-in-law is worried for him, his brother thinks he's nuts, but eventually, upon the recommendation of the family doctor (Clarkson; Good Night And Good Luck, Welcome To Collinwood, Dogville) the entire town goes along with his delusion in support of this sweet natured boy that they've always loved.

Lars And The Real Girl on DVD includes delightful special features such as an exclusive deleted scene and the real story behind the film. Directed by Craig Gillespie (Mr Woodcock) and boasting a great soundtrack, this film has been hailed as the quirky, feel-good movie of the year so make sure you join Lars on his quirky and life-affirming search for true love on DVD this August.

Happy-Go-Lucky

Momentum Pictures presents the release of Happy-Go-Lucky on DVD, a laugh-out-loud comedy about having fun, looking for love and getting on with life. From one of the UK’s most respected writer-directors, Mike Leigh, Happy-Go-Lucky is released to buy and rent on DVD on 18 August 2008, priced £19.99 RRP.

Sally Hawkins (Little Britain, Vera Drake, Tipping the Velvet) stars as Poppy, a consistently cheerful primary school teacher, who doesn’t let anyone or anything get her down. A free spirit, she is open and generous – as funny and anarchic as she is focused and responsible.

Happy-Go-Lucky is set in contemporary London and follows Poppy’s adventures as she goes about her daily life, living with her flatmate Zoe (Alexis Zegerman). A friend to many and an eternal fun-lover, Poppy is one of life’s sunny and relaxed characters - for example, when her bicycle is stolen, she simply regrets that she didn’t get the chance to say ‘goodbye’ to it.

The incident prompts her to learn to drive, and Poppy starts trying to spread some sunshine over her new driving instructor, Scott, played by Eddie Marsan (Vera Drake, The Illusionist). He’s having none of it, though – the grumpy, aggressive neurotic Scott is the complete antithesis of Poppy, and their relationship provides lashings of laughs.

The movie sees Poppy confronting some of life’s harshest realities and dealing with them head-on, while never losing her wonderful sense of humour. Life-affirming, fresh and funny, Happy-Go-Lucky won a Silver Bear Award for Best Actress at the Berlin International Film Festival.

Mike Leigh is one of Britain’s best-loved film directors, with a career spanning nearly forty years. Always creating his own original screenplays by working in a unique way with his actors, Leigh has earned world-wide critical acclaim for his acutely observed work. While his movies challenge the audience to ask questions and to reflect, they never fail to be moving, funny and highly entertaining. Mike Leigh has won a number of prizes at major international film festivals - most notably he won Best Director for Naked at the 1993 Cannes Film Festival, as well as the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival in 1996 for Secrets & Lies. He has been nominated for an Academy Award® five times, twice each for Secrets and Lies and Vera Drake (Best Original Screenplay and Best Director) and once for Topsy-Turvy (Best Original Screenplay).

Mike Leigh’s controversial and award-winning 1993 film Naked is released as a stand alone DVD for the first time on 18 August 2008 from Thin Man Films and Spirit Entertainment priced £15.99 RRP. Regarded by many as Mike Leigh’s masterpiece, this daring and abrasive film follows the anarchic Johnny (David Thewlis) on his dark journey through a corrosive world.
