PICK OF THE WEEK
“The Films of Rita Hayworth” (Sony): Fans will probably own some of
these films (the beloved “Gilda,” for instance) already, but Sony’s
new set, where movies are guest-introduced by Martin Scorsese, Baz
Luhrman, and Patricia Clarkson, also contains three new-to-DVD titles,
including the Bible adaptation “Salome.”
OTHER TOP PICKS
“Easy A” (Sony): “The Scarlet Letter” goes to high school in a comedy carried with panache by Emma Stone.
“Orlando” (Sony): Sally Potter’s adaptation of the Virginia Woolf novel, whose protagonist lives at least four centuries and morphs from man to woman, was a breakthrough for star Tilda Swinton.
