A Beautiful Coming of Age Saga Set in Minnesota
I loved this film. It was different, unique, and held my interest for all 75 minutes. Filming in black and white always adds that independent touch. I may be a bit bias (since I live in St Paul MN), as the film was set in New Ulm Minnesota, and is filmed on ...

Cab Calloway
Echo Bridge Home Entertainment, 2004
Good collection of early Black films
This is a fine collection of early Black American films from the 1930s and 40s. It begins with Cab Calloway in "Hi De Ho" (1947), a story of Cab fighting gangsters and a sluttish "girlfriend" (Jeni Le Gon as Minnie the Moocher-who he regrettably slaps early on in the ...

The Devil and Daniel Johnston
Feuerzeig's riveting, always fascinating look at this volatile, self-taught wunderkind is as heartbreaking as it is inspiring. From an early age, we discover, Johnston kept confessional audio and video diaries of his life, and the director uses these to fill out the ...

AN EXCELLENT BOX SET...YOU DIRTY RAT!
I found this ganster box set at a reduced price of $18.99,it is well worth that or 3 times that. Each movie has a very good transfer and there are some cool extras in this set. There are some true classics in this set,but all are worth seeing. This is a gangsters movie ...

Rebecca (Ione Skye) seems happy in her relationship with a middle-aged photographer (the Sex Pistols' Steve Jones) until she notices his unhealthy attachment to his sexy teenage daughter.

Warner Home Video, 2005
Iconic. Unforgettably iconic.
Iconic means pertaining to images. There's not a lot of plot to this movie, but the imagery blows you away; and stays with you forever. The rise and fall of Rico is a very simple story. He gets to the top by stopping at nothing. His readiness to shoot to kill, almost ...

Waking Life
Waking Life This movie is surreal. It is captured in real life via a hand held camera, then it was sent to six different artists to create their own style of animation over the live action. The styles are all unique, giving the viewer amazing views of interations ...

MGM (Video & DVD), 2001
A film that has everything it needs; a complete package to put it bluntly...
I have not seen a lot of Woody Allen movies; he's one of those directors that I really need to research and dive into. I've seen `Match Point' and loved it, and I've see `The Sweet and Lowdown' and thought it was decent, but his classics like `Annie Hall' and `Hannah ...

A history lesson
Clifford Antone kept the Blues alive during the 70's, 80's and 90's at his clubs in Austin, TX. His habit of bringing artists in for a week's engagement meant that young artists like SRV and Doyle Bramhall Jr. could hang out with these cats and learn their riffs. This ...

The call of the wild girls
Two titles in THE OLDEST PROFESSION 4 Movie Pack are TV movies, so there's not a lot of sexually graphic material here. Although this may disappoint those seeking titillation, for anyone interested in watching well-known actors in some rather obscure but good films, ...

No hagiography
It's been a few years since I've seen this -- I even saw a little of it being shot. I enjoyed it quite a lot, but I am familiar with Jaglom's body of work without being a fan. (I'm a bit more objective than the people who love to despise him.) I particularly ...
