Highly Recommended The Movie: Here’s a film that threw everyone off a bit. There be dragons? If you want to get technical the phrase is actually “Here Be Dragons,” but it was modified a bit for the film
Skip It Zoinks! Abby (Aimee Teegarden) , her kinda-sorta boyfriend Travis (Tony Oller) , and a few other clean-scrubbed fake teenager types think they’ve spotted a gh-gh- ghost ! at Old Man Ely’s creepy ol’ house. I mean, they see a couple of silhouettes dancing in an upstairs window, and…well, what else could it be? Ghosts
Highly Recommended For this reviewer, watching Woody Allen’s Manhattan (1979) on Blu-ray was a curious viewing experience. I’d seen it when it was new, while I was in high school. And between 1979 and 1989 I must have watched it at least another 15 times, first in theaters and later in revival houses and on cable television beginning around 1984, where Manhattan may have been the first movie …
Highly Recommended The Product: When Alex Cox was fired from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas , paving the way for Terry Gilliam to take over, it was seen as yet another example of the elusive nature of Hunter S.
Rent It I never actually got around to watching the original Honey , but I did see the trailer and TV spots and stuff, so I kinda get the general idea of what happens. I’m gonna go out on a limb here and Read the entire review
Highly Recommended The Film: At the beginning of City of God , the streets of Brazil — the winding slums, not the picturesque landscapes adorning postcards — come alive through sharpening knives, drum-heavy percussion music, and a pack of children chasing a chicken. Then, the relative normalcy stops: a camera-carrying high-schooler, Rocket, freezes when he comes face-to-face with teenage thugs …
DVD Talk Collector Series THE MOVIE: Please Note: The screengrabs used here are from the standard-definition DVD included in this set, not from the Blu-Ray. So the moral of the story is kids ruin everything
Highly Recommended The Movie: I’m just going to warn you in advance: this is going to be one of those reviews where someone is going to be exposed to a famous film for the first time. Shoot, I had no idea The Apartment had been selected to the National Film Registry a few years ago for being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant” (and as an aside, that would be an intriguing …
Rent It “Now look — you meet an old lesbian, huh? And a friend of yours gets a headache. All of a sudden, it’s sorcery and witches!” Part of what I love so much about Blue Underground is how wildly unpredictable their release slate can be.
Highly Recommended THE FILM: Please Note: The stills used here are taken from the film’s promotional materials, not the Blu-ray edition under review. One mark of an excellent documentary is its ability to draw you into a topic, a debate, or–as in the case of C line Danhier’s Blank City –a “scene” in which the viewer may not even have had any very deep or sustainable interest at the outset …
