DVD Review ROLLING THUNDER (BLU-RAY)

Famous for being one of Quentin Tarantino's favorite films, it seems only fitting that this flick makes its way to Blu-ray from the edgy, always-reliable Shout! Factory. I'm really looking forward to what QT loves so much about this.

PR American Reel on DVD Mar 20

Singer-songwriter James Lee Springer (Carradine - who actually performs a number of his own songs in the film) has an uncompromising style which has held him back for the past 20 years. He's now getting his shot thanks to the efforts of his best friend/manager (Maloney). While Springer would prefer to let his musical vision and talents lead the way now that he's made it to the top, his manager has a whole other idea of what it takes to stay there.

DVD Review THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE 2: FULL SEQUENCE (BLU-RAY)

Director Tom Six has realized his creative dream of making the original The Human Centipede 'look like My Little Pony' with this gross-out sequel. Where the first film implied more than it showed - and as a result created a genuinely disturbing experience - this time around Six holds nothing back in an excess of grotesqueness.

Too bad the whole thing is so sophomorically pointless.

PR The Clowns on DVD 1 Mar

Extras contain a rare and exclusive short film by Fellini, a video essay on the genesis of the film and a 50 page booklet with exclusive Fellini drawings. Hard-to-find, this 1970 film melds memoir and documentary into a circus of fiction and reality where Fellini delights in the role of ringmaster. The carnival-sounding score composed by Nino Rota, and an appearance by Anita Ekberg (star of Fellini's 1960's masterpiece La Dolce Vita), enhances the Fellini-esque experience.

DVD Review THE GOOD THE BAD THE WEIRD

Kim Jee-woon nails the whole American/spaghetti western mythos, only here set in the rough and tumble gun-toting world of 1930's Manchuria. Crammed with nonstop action and terrific comedy, this is the kind of joyous absurdity of well-choreographed excess that makes me absolutely love movies.

One of the most over-the-top cool titles of 2010. Bar none.
