Rent It I first saw Sergio Corbucci's Compa eros (1970) when it was part of a five-movie DVD boxed set called Once Upon a Time in Italy , released ten-odd years ago by Anchor Bay. Despite its reputation among Spaghetti Western buffs, I found the picture less interesting than three of the other titles in the set ( A Bullet for the General , Four of the Apocalypse , and Keoma ).
Recommended The Movie: Set in a Japan recently ravaged by a powerful Tsunami, Sion Sono's 2011 picture Himizu takes place in a country that has essentially lost a war, not with another country, but with mother nature. Large portions of the populace have lost their homes and in tents and while what's left of the army and police forces do what they can to maintain law and order, as it stands the …

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 …
