DVD & BLU-RAY PICKS<\/strong><\/p>\n The Thin Red Line<\/a><\/strong> (20th Century Fox Home Ent.): Terrence Malick’s stunning World War II movie about US troops fighting at the Battle of Guadalcanal<\/a> gets the HD treatment at long last. His long awaited return to the big screen after a twenty absence is a visually stunning and hypnotic meditation on war and man. The all star ensemble cast features Jim Caviezel, Sean Penn, Ben Chaplin, Nick Nolte, Elias Koteas and John Cusack in key roles. Look out for John Toll’s incredible cinematography and Hans Zimmer’s remarkable score, which is the finest of his career.

Directed by Darren Aronofsky, it features a powerhouse performance from Portman and is an\u00a0exhilarating\u00a0mix of\u00a0The Red Shoes<\/a>,\u00a0Repulsion<\/a> and the body horror of\u00a0David Cronenberg<\/a>. Riffing heavily on the raw source material of Swan Lake itself, it proved an unlikely box office hit and won Portman an Oscar for Best Actress.
