Blacksnake [VHS]
$69.99
I could tell you that "Blacksnake!" is set on the Caribbean Isle of San Cristobal, where Lady Susan (Anouska Hempel, "On Her Majesty's Secret Service") runs her plantation and her slaves as she sees fit, with the aid of her brutal overseers and big bull whip. Or I could just point out that this 1973 film was directed by Russ Meyer and leave you to draw the obvious conclusions from that particular fact. But if you have ever seen a Russ Meyer film, such as "Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kil1!" or "Beneath the Valley of the Ultravixens," this fact might surprise you, because the women in this film are not as overly endowed, as is the norm in a Meyer exploitation film. That makes "Blacksnake!" a most atypical film from the legendary director.The plot has to do with the disappearance of Lady Susan's latest husband (David Prowse, yes Darth Vader himself from the first "Star Wars" trilogy). When his brother Walker (David Warbeck, "Trog") shows up to investigate he discovers the slaves are horribly abused and that everybody is really obsessed with sex (I told you this was a Russ Meyer film). So what we have is an exploitation film about a period of exploitation, if that makes any sense. The result is a curious combination of camp and sleaze, topped off by a slave revolt and a stirring speech on the evils of slavery, colonization, yadda yadda yadda. If "Blacksnake!" (gee, I wonder what the title is suppose to mean) is the first and only Russ Meyer film you see, then you are never going to understand what the fuss is all about, which would also be true if you screened "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls" (scripted by Roger Ebert). You might also never be able to watch another slave plantation movie for the rest of your life.

A Renaissance Christmas / Cohen, Boston Camerata
$16.98
Simply a delightful trip back across the centuries, long before the crass commercial exploitation of this glorious day on the Christian calendar. The polyphonic voices, the delicious syncopation on Spanish Renaissance masterpiece Riu Riu Riu ... Dios Guardo El Lobo de nuestra Cordera' ... the auld English and the period French, the virile sonority of the men's group, the angelic, soaring strains of the female group, the mystical union and then separation of the two, the feeling you get of proximity to the Divine when they sing accopela, the open mouthed wonder you will experience as your grateful ears take in the dainty, rhythmic accompaniment of tambourines and lutes and flutes ... ahhh!
It simply is not Christmas without this musical masterpiece.
You will catch yourself dancing a little jig as they sing about Joseph being well married or of the little girl innoncence of the futrue mother of the Christ child.
Mr. Cohen and his troupe travel the country every year developing their themes of Hispanic, French, Baroque and Renaissance Christmases ...
a journey for which we can all be uplifted!
