BOMBAY BEACH (2011)
Bombay Beach tells the stories of the residents of a once-thriving tourist resort now lost to the world. Director Alma Har'el's film, with its gauzy, dreamlike quality and choreographed sequences is at once beautiful and deeply problematic. Read More... CONTAGION (BLU-RAY) (2011)
Steven Soderbergh makes a different kind of a global viral pandemic film, one that focuses more on fear and research rather than gore and goo. A large, talented ensemble cast and the downward spiral of humanity makes this one a bleak, uneasy and scary thriller.
Read More... MEDEA (BLU-RAY) (1969)
Pasolini's uncompromisingly arty Medea won't be to every taste, but the beauty and visceral brutality of the film is hypnotic. Read More... LOUVRE CITY (1990)
This contemplative but unpretentious film goes behind-the-scenes at the Louvre museum. Director Nicolas Philipert documents a vibrant community--an entire world--that tourists never see. Read More... HENRI-GEORGES CLOUZOT'S INFERNO (Blu-ray) (2009)
Given that this film began shooting almost 50 years ago is intriguing enough. Flicker Alley has upped the ante by including a second disc of supplementary material that allows us to study this compelling project long after the film itself is over. Read More... NAKED (BLU-RAY) (1993)
In a film filled with a gaggle of talented, raw performances it is the intensity of David Thewlis in the coarse lead role that consistently propels Mike Leigh's Naked, commanding our attention to every sarcastic, caustic, brutal and philosophical utterance he delivers. Criterion's Blu-Ray transfer of Leigh's controversial 1993 release is lovely in its starkness, besting their 2005 SD disc by leaps and bounds.
Read More... SON OF MORNING (2011)
This is an intriguing premise, but I have a bad feeling that overdone attempts at quirkiness might be the film's downfall. However, the casting is intriguing, to say the least. Read More...

Now that they're married men in their thirties, they compete over jobs, cars, and even the Christmas decorations on their houses.
