Nobody does sex-comedies like the Italians, and on November 15, 2011, Mya Communication will be releasing the 1979 film Lady Football.
Best. DVD Cover. Ever.
Paulo Roberto (Alvaro Vitali), a Brazilian soccer superstar, plays in the Italian championship for the Naples team. But success cannot sweeten the fact that he is deeply homesick and longing for home. When an astonishing double of him shows up and tries to get in bed with his luscious fiancee (Carmen Russo) things go from bad to worse. Sports, money and bedside intrigue all mix together in this outrageously comic romper stomper.

Chicago – Shouldn’t it be called the “Millennium Trilogy”? Or the “Girl Trilogy”? Only the first movie has the words “Dragon Tattoo” in it. Anyway, I’m being picky. Whatever you call it, the three foreign films adapted from Stieg Larsson’s uber-successful series have been now included in one box set that should appeal to fans of the books hoping to have their favorite series in one place.
When a franchise becomes as much of a cash-generating property as Larsson’s books, it becomes imperative to repackage them in as many ways as possible. So, while “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo,” “The Girl Who Played With Fire,” and “The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Next” have all been released on DVD and Blu-ray separately (and pretty recently), now the hardcore fans have an opportunity to buy them again with a fourth disc of bonus material. As the initial home releases were bare-bones,...

The Films:
It’s interesting that these books and films have become the phenomenon that they have, with elements of violence, rape, and an underground sex ring, along with some Nazis and the role media plays in our lives. Maybe it tapped into something bubbling under our current climate as a society or is it just good entertainment? Stieg Larrson has created perhaps the best thrillers since Thomas Harris’ Hannibal Lecter novels (but let us forget Hannibal Rising, please?). Without repeating ourselves too much, I’ve collected our prior reviews for a Dragon Tattoo recap, before we get into this new set.
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo [from Jon Peters' review]: “…is one of the more complex thrillers in recent memory. The film has one A-plot, but features a slew of subplots, something that most films would find itself buckling under that weight, but here, director Niels Arden Oplev allows each subplot...
