Highly Recommended The Movie: One of Jean Rollin’s more interesting films, 1975s Levres De Sang (better known in North America as Lips Of Blood , which is how it was released on DVD a few years back from Image/Redemption and how it’s being re-released again through Redemption and Kino with this Blu-ray debut!) begins with the simple image of a van heading through the night towards an eerie old …
Highly Recommended There’s…I don’t know, there’s a word I’m looking for here — one word that tells you everything you need to know about the second season of Archer without having to slog through a whole long, rambling review. I think it goes something like: You were supposed to click the ‘Play’ button on that, by the way
Highly Recommended THE FILM: Please Note: The images used here are promotional stills and are not taken from the Blu-ray edition under review. There is a scene in Godard’s turning-point 1965 film Pierrot le fou in which stars Anna Karina and Jean-Paul Belmondo perform an impromptu “play” for American tourists in which an event as vast, urgent, and serious as the Vietnam War–including all its …

DVD Talk Collector Series THE MOVIE: Please Note: The images used here are promotional stills and are not taken from the Blu-ray edition under review. No one likes jury duty.
Highly Recommended THE CONCERT: I have to admit right off the bat that, while I count Mahler among my favorite composers, I am at best a classical-music dilettante whose first exposure to and interest in his music came from hearing alluring snatches of it in movies, from Husbands and Wives to In a Year with 13 Moons to Velvet Goldmine ; the performance of his second symphony that is under review …
Highly Recommended Within our lifetimes we’ve marveled as biologists have managed to look at ever smaller and smaller things; And astronomers have looked further and further into the dark night sky, back in time and out in space. But maybe the most mysterious of all is neither the small nor the large; it’s us, up close. Could we even recognize ourselves, and, if we did, would we know ourselves …
Highly Recommended THE FILM: Please Note: The screen captures used here are taken from the 1999 DVD release and reflect neither the corrected aspect ratio nor the improved image quality of the Blu-ray edition under review. All the excitement leading up to the 1998 release of Velvet Goldmine , Todd Haynes’s ( I’m Not There ) epic meditation on the “glam rock” pop-music movement of the early 1970s …
DVD Talk Collector Series THE MOVIE: Please Note: The images used here are from the 2004 DVD edition of the film and are not taken from the Blu-ray edition under review. I wish there was a way to get my family to agree to making Fanny and Alexander our official selection for annual holiday viewing. Hell, I suppose I’d just be happy if we had something to watch together on either Thanksgiving or …
