Rumble Fish

Matt Dillon, Mickey Rourke

Universal Studios, 1995

a fantastic film that will eventually be rediscovered as a masterpiece
I finally got around to watching the extras on the Rumble Fish DVD. The making of both the film and the soundtrack are great to see as they show how much exuberance went into the making of an extraordinary film. I remember how much Rumble Fish meant to me in high ...

Big Time

Tom Waits, Willie Schwarz

Fries Home Video

One of the greatest concert films ever...
There are 3 concert films in the 80s which come to mind as being "great": "Stop Making Sense"(Talking Heads), "Home of the Brave"(Laurie Anderson) and "Big Time". There have been different eras in Tom's career, the folk troubadour, the "barfly" jazz lounge singer, ...

a mood piece more than a movie
Like the real city of Las Vegas, you have to be in the right mood to allow yourself to sink beneath the flashy, dazzling, and artificial veneer that made up this dream-like cinematic mood piece. You have to let go. Stop thinking about why the hell would Francis Coppola ...

Coffee & Cigarettes (B&W Slip)

Roberto Benigni, Steven Wright

MGM (Video & DVD), 2004

Go. Make art.
Seeing that it got quite a few 1 star ratings, I decided it needed more credit. The artists here are just excercising their creative urges to go beyond conventional mainstream film making and are having fun doing it. Whoever has a problem with that, needs to check ...
