Petulia
Julie Christie, George C. Scott
Warner Home Video, 2006
loved it!
+ "Petulia": the sweet smell of success
+ Julie Christie and George C Scott Shine in this Classic
I had seen this movie at least 20 years ago and I always wanted to see it again from a more mature viewpoint. The acting is excellent. Shirley Knight especially. This time around I wasn't as sympathetic towards the Julie Christie character, victim yes but also enabler. George C Scott amazing. The ...

In the Year of the Pig
Daniel Berrigan, Joseph Buttinger
Homevision, 2005
Comparisons between Then and Now
+ Not my first choice
+ fine anthology of filmed vignettes
This film is very interesting in how it depicts the story of the Vietnam War. To see the politicians of the that time make the same sorts of arguments that today's politicos make, in regards to the justification of the Iraq war, is stunning. It is like the same reasoning and purposes that they ...

El Topo
Alejandro Jodorowsky, Brontis Jodorowsky
Starz / Anchor Bay, 2007
Mind Altering
+ "El Topo" es El Loco!
+ EL Topo
Having read about this film for decades, and only recently having seen it, I am guilty of prejudging this film. Didn't think I'd like it, but I had to satiate my curiosity. First off, I thought it would have had far lower production values because it's always described as a low budget affair. ...

Symbiopsychotaxiplasm: Two Takes - Criterion Collection
Susan Anspach, Don Fellows
Criterion, 2006
Another Must-Have from Criterion
+ Symbiopsychotaxiplasm: A Cinematic Experiment About Movie Making And Film Theory
This film, originally released in 1968 and reissued by Criterion in a two-disc set, is a fascinating look inside moviemaking. Or is it? The beauty of it is that you never know for sure. Alleging to be following the shooting of a film in Central Park, the narrative sways from actual footage of the ...

Black Sunday (aka The Mask of Satan)
Barbara Steele, John Richardson
Image Entertainment, 1999
Five Stars For Being The Best Vampire Movie Ever
+ Black Sunday Loses Little
+ One of the Best B's...
Whatever its flaws in dialog, dubbing and sound editing, this will always rank, in my book, as the greatest vampire film ever made; I might also add that there's not a fang in sight.
I probably should not have seen this movie at the impressionable age of seven, as it has haunted me all of my ...
