DVD Review BASKET CASE 3  The further adventures of Duane and his malformed, formerly conjoined twin brother Belial stick in my memory as a case of director Frank Henenlotter going to the well one too many times. That opinion could change, given that it's been at least 15 years since I've seen this second sequel, but I have a bad feeling it won't. Read More... DVD Review DARK SHADOWS (BLU-RAY)  Despite a slew of bad reviews, I'm still excited to see what Tim Burton has in store for the great character of Barnabas Collins. At worst, it sure looks like Depp is having a blast with the role. Read More...

DVD Review IN A GLASS CAGE (BLU-RAY)  This cult classic is among the most notorious art house shockers ever made.

DVD Review CHARADE  The paragon of rogue charmóAudrey Hepburn, Cary Grant, Paris, postage stamps. Read More... PR Criterion Collection September Titles  This September, two of the greatest, as well as the most unorthodox, films about World War II will come to the Criterion Collection, in both Blu-ray and DVD editions. Terrence Malick's star-studded (Sean Penn, Nick Nolte, Woody Harrelson), multiple-Oscar-nominated James Jones adaptation The Thin Red Line is a staggering accomplishment, a profoundly moving, existential trip to war's heart of darkness, set during the battle for Guadalcanal. And Nagisa Oshima's extraordinarily bold Japanese POW camp drama Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence, starring David Bowie as a mysterious prisoner targeted by an obsessive camp commander, is one of the controversial director's most acclaimed and beloved films. Plus, two jazzy sixties hits—Godard's Breathless, with Jean-Paul Belmondo, celebrating its fiftieth anniversary, and Stanley Donen's Charade, starring Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant—come out in new Criterion Blu-ray editions. Read More... DVD Review THE SIX DEGREES OF HELTER SKELTER  If you've an interest in the subject of the crimes of Charles Manson and his "family"—and have a need to see things like actual locations, crime scene photos, etc—then this somewhat self-serving but fact-filled documentary may merit a rental. Read More... DVD Review SICK GIRL  Lopsided indie horror flick has its moments, but read on to see whether or not you should bother. Read More... DVD Review TEMPEST  The fall of the Tsars has proven to be fertile ground for filmic drama, but one of the earlier of these efforts was John Barrymore's Tempest, produced only a decade after the events depicted. With a story written by a Russian, and a screenplay co-written by an uncredited Erich von Stroheim, it certainly promises to be interesting. Read More... DVD Review HEADER  What's a header? You're going to have to delve into the absolutely nasty delights of this Ed Lee adaptation to find out. Of course, you could do one better and just read the book ... Read More... DVD Review WISE BLOOD  Miss O'Connor, Mr. Huston. Mr. Huston, Miss O'Connor. Now you zany kids go make a movie that's batcrap crazy. Read More... |
