Highly Recommended THE FILM: Please Note: The screen captures used here are taken from the 1997 standard-definition DVD edition , not the Blu-ray edition under review. It’s rare enough for a fondly-remembered but not recently revisited film to even live up to our lingering, benevolent but hazy recollections of it; it’s rarer still for that film to surpass them and reveal further wellsprings of …
Highly Recommended Rebecca (1940) is one of three Alfred Hitchcock movies MGM/Fox has released to Blu-ray, the others being Spellbound (1945) and Notorious (1946).
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.

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.
Recommended THE FILM: Please Note: The screen captures used here are taken from the 2003 standard-definition DVD edition , not the Blu-ray edition under review. It’s strange to be speaking of Adaptation in the past tense; I vividly remember rushing right out to see it upon its release nearly a decade ago.

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 …
