-The Godfather trilogy. -Don't Look Now -The Sweet Hereafter -Dancer in the Dark -A.I. (yes, it's supposed to look like that) I second Patrick's 8 1/2.
For some reason I thought KINGDOM OF THE SPIDERS was a made-for-TV movie. At any rate I saw it on TV as a kid and thought the ending was really freaky. One of the few scenes in the movie I recall vividly, along with the little girl surrounded by spiders on the bed. This movie always made me...
Would it be correct to assume that Criterion sometimes releases 'major studio' films on DVD because those releases generate the revenue that allows them to release lesser-known films on DVD? If so, I'm all for it! Most major studios have no problem dedicating 3 or 4 discs of exhaustive...
There was one line in the movie that had me giggling uncontrollably: (paraphrased) Velma: He wasn't even a puppy; he just had a gland disorder.
Yeah, I was in a weird mood when I watched this one.
Mulholland Drive haunts me.
The "Man" behind Winky's Diner...Christ, I've never seen something that so replicated the logic of a nightmare. That entire scene freaks me out; try watching that sucker at 1 AM alone in a dark room.
Gore and blood don't phase me; I wasted enough of my youth with...
This is a solid movie. Not fantastic, but more entertaining than most other new releases. And, yes, Franka Potente is cute. I'd easily rank this along side Minority Report in the action/thriller dept. If only Matt Damon had kicked this much butt in "Bagger Vance". (Yes, I was joking).
It would be infinitely more entertaining if corporations paid not to promote their own products but to anonymously defame others; for example: TOM CRUISE: Man, these McDonalds burgers make me s**t like a goose. JULIA ROBERTS: You said it; good thing this Budweiser causes me to beat my...
I remember seeing pics of the "Wheelers" in Starlog magazine when I was 11 or 12. Man, talk about good old-fashioned nightmare fuel! I don't think I've ever seen this on home video in any form, and at the time it cost something like $50 million (adjusted for inflation: ungodly); I'm sure a few...
I think that home video sales are very impulse-driven. The families who grab Men in Black while shopping for pillow cases at Target tend to outweigh the film buffs who grab Phantom Menace on release date.Also, the newest releases tend to overshadow the older ones as DVD continually permeates...
Looks like Best Buy is pricing this 2-pack for US $19.99. The graphic in the paper is really small, but there appears to be a blurb about Nayquatsi (sp??), the 3rd film, as well.
Personal note: when I was in college we'd have this going in the background at parties with different music CDs as...
Patrick:
I had a suspicion this film was originally presented at Academy ratio. Whether it is 1.33:1 or 1.37:1, as Hendrick states, I feel better. The "modified to fit your TV" graphic at the beginning of the film just sent a red flag.
As for my recollection of this being letterboxed, chalk...
Hi everyone; long time lurker, first time poster. I've searched the forum, varous e-tailers and imdb.com for the OAR of Night of the Hunter to no avail. My MGM DVD is "modified" to fit my screen, yet the case states Standard screen format with "Theatrical release format" in fine print below...
