Recommended Based on the 1982 French graphic novel Transperceneige , director Bong Joon-ho's Snowpiercer (2013) serves up a thinly-veiled slice of post-apocalyptic social commentary. After a failed attempt to combat global warming causes a new Ice Age, humanity's survivors are placed inside a massive train segmented by social classes
Rent It Content: If movies have taught us anything, it's that you don't take a bag of money you happen to come across, especially when the amount is in the hundreds of thousands, because come on… it HAS to belong to corrupt people that are willing to do anything to get it back, only bad things come of it. Greed is the moral of Good People , an ultimately disappointing thriller film based off …
Highly Recommended Nekromantik: It's hard to fathom how desensitized I've become in the last 20-plus years. Way back in 1991 a little video store opened up in SE Portland, Oregon. It's since become an institution, but in those days Mike Clark's Movie Madness had the movies you couldn't find ANYWHERE.
Recommended The Movie: 1981's True Confessions is one of those many films that has tremendous talent involved (both behind and in front of the camera), was pretty well-received upon release (though not exactly a hit), and still has managed to drift into obscurity. It's not a lost masterpiece, but True Confessions is a welcome time capsule of an era where character-driven dramas could still be …
Recommended I had seen Avalanche (1978) only once before, 35-odd years ago when it made its network television debut. Back then the movie struck me as curiously cheap-looking, like a TV-movie, and generally uninvolving with barely-sketched characters
Recommended When Meteor was new, in October 1979, I dragged several friends to see it, expecting something intelligent and full of spectacle. A science fiction-disaster film, it was, unusual for the time, rooted in sound science.
Highly Recommended Wow, what a surprise! If you've suffered through as many public domain movies from the 1930s as I have, films produced and distributed by small, long-defunct and forgotten companies, you'll know that the vast majority are quite dreadful, and normally only the cheapest of home video distributors (e.g., Alpha Video) will release them at all, typically with terrible video …
Recommended Ida Blu-ray Review Ida (AgataTrzebuchowska) is a catholic nun working towards taking her vows withinthe  covenant where she stays. She is soongoing totake those vows but is told that first she is supposed to go visit afamilymember and speak with them.
Highly Recommended Salvador Blu-ray Review Oliver Stone has made a name for himself as apoliticalfilmmaker with an agenda to portray American history (and indeed thehistory ofthe world) through his unique perspective. The filmmaking of Stone isundoubtedly political in nature and he is one to create a variety ofcinematicportraits with a keen sensibility unlike most other filmmakers
Highly Recommended The Movie: As far as enjoyment and appreciation of Michael Moore's films go, it pays to approach them as visual essays rather than completely objective documentaries. They are obviously out to make a point, everything from the fact that Moore narrates his own documentaries with a deft ear for wit and irony, as well as some of the clever editing choices made in order to bring …
