Delirious (2006)

Steve Buscemi does what he does so well here—all wiry, edgy, and foul-mouthed—but it's the charismatic performances of Michael Pitt and Alison Lohman that easily tip the scales on this one. All of the oddball characters (flawed or otherwise) are entertaining, and Tom DiCillo's dialogue is satirical, caustic, and funny.

I hated to see this one end. Where the hell is the soundtrack album?

An under-the-radar title to be sure (and one of my favorites of 2008), but consider it highly recommended.

"Major Improvement" in Ratings Enforcement by Retailers Hailed

A couple of catch-up titles: Jeff checks into the Robson Arms: Season 2, from VSC. Rich has a somewhat more exotic experience with Caligula: Three-Disc Imperial Edition from Image.

dOc spotLIGHT: Rich seems pretty wild about Tom DiCillo's "heaping pile of flawed but engaging characters" in 2006's Delirious, led by Steve Buscemi and a kicked up by Michael Pitt. Needless to say, then, that he highly recommends its release this week from Genius

dOc DVD Quote

"You tell them that our lives can change with every breath we take... and to hold on like hell to what they've got: each other, and a mother who would die for them and almost did...You tell them we've all got bad in us, but we've got goodness too. And the only thing worth living for is the good. And that's why we've got to make sure we pass it on."
