| Robert Redford’s 1969 film DOWNHILL RACER (***, 101 mins., Criterion) is a film that its admirers have long desired to see on DVD, and understandably so: director Michael Ritchie, Redford (who produced the film and came up with its concept), and writer James Salter fashioned a taut, economically-told portrait of a skier named David Cappellet, whose single-minded desire to achieve success on the U.S. ski team fuels his ego-centric behavior. |

| It has been said (and written in this column) that it’s not a good time for archival titles to be released on DVD, something that was reaffirmed last week when Universal announced it was entering into a partnership with TCM to start a manufactured-on-demand DVD process for their catalog films. Similar to Warner Home Video’s Archive series, Universal and TCM are supposed to offer a variety of vintage movies for $19.99 a pop, starting with a series of Universal ‘30s chillers that fans have been anticipating for some time. |

| One of the many beneficiaries of high-definition video has been the travel genre. From episodes of Rudy Maxa’s terrific “Smart Travels” series to several compilations from the Discovery Channel’s “Sunrise Earth,” consumers seeking gorgeous landscapes and travelogues for their Blu-Ray players have had an abundance to choose from during the format’s relatively short lifespan. |

| The early ‘80s were filled with sword-and-sorcery spectacles and wannabes. From the epic adventure of John Milius’ “Conan the Barbarian” to “The Beastmaster,” “The Sword and the Sorcerer,” “Yor: The Hunter From the Future,” the Lou Ferrigno “Hercules” pictures and countless others, fans were deluged by genre works at their local theaters and video stores. |

| John Carpenter's BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA (***, 100 mins., 1986, PG-13; Fox) may not be a classic, but this cult favorite -- a pastiche of kung-fu mysticism, sci-fi fantasy, Saturday-matinee serials, '80s FX extravaganzas, and supernatural hokum that was clearly ahead of its time -- is nevertheless one of the director’s most entertaining films, and arrived last week in a top-notch Blu-Ray package from Fox. |

| Weird, offbeat, creepy, lyrical and even downright disturbing, Henry Selick’s gorgeous stop-motion adaptation of Neil Giaman’s CORALINE (***½, 101 mins., 2009, PG; Universal) is just the tonic for viewers beaten down by a dearth of imagination at the multiplex. |
