Get in my way punk, you're gonna get your ass beat nasty

Anyone who hasn't seen Paris, Texas, should do so as soon as possible. It's kind of long considering the minimal plot and it moves along at it's own slow, leisurely pace but, it features one of greatest performances of Harry Dean Stanton's career (Dean Stockwell is really great in it as well). It's also one of the

This is a rather well done movie but, I think I'm happy with my public domain copy, which has suprisingly decent picture quality. If I loved the film (instead of just liking it) I would probably replace my copy (the special features sound pretty cool though).

At first I didn't really want to see this all that bad despite being a fan of Von Trier but, the more I read about it the more I do (and this review pretty much confirmed that I'll be seeing it at some point). Also, since the Barnes And Noble 50% off Criterion sale is going on right now, and I have been considering

Tom Waits for no man

Let me just say, even though I already own all but a couple of the movies on this list, that this has been my favorite Gateway ever.

I'm not really a fan of their music but, I find their odd personalities interesting and I would love it if Harmony Korine expanded that short to a feature length film (the results would probably turn out a lot better than Trash Humpers).

Also known as The Pyjama Girl Case.

If you're a fan of deadpan you really owe it to yourself to see all three films in his Proletariat trilogy (as well as jis film The Man Without A Past, among others). Leningrad Cowboys is a wondefully piece of offbeat comedy as well, and finally getting a us release courtesy of Criterion Collection's Eclipse line,

Solange is definately a classic Giallo. There is also the companion film, What Have They Done To Your Daughters? At the moment the giallo I really want to track down a good quality transfer of, is Death Laid An Egg, which sounds incredibly bizarre and surreal.

New York Ripper may just be the sleaziest, nastiest giallo there is.

The footage cut out is mostly scenes of Daria Nicolodi and David Hemmings together, and I think the film would be poorer without it because, Daria provides a warmth and humanity that the film would otherwise be lacking (plus, she was never cuter than she is in this movie).

Now here is a subject near and dear to me, as I love a good Giallo film (the films provided as viewing suggestions are mostly great too). Everyone into Giallo should see the Fulci classics A Lizard In A Woman's Skin(one of Ennio Morriccone best scores and my favorite of giallo scores) and Don't Torture A Duckling

Thanks to this article, I now know that Timur directed this. Now I actually kind of want to see this (I'm a pretty big fan of his movies Nightwatch, Daywatch, and Black Lighting which he produced). I liked the special effects and action choreography of Wanted but, other than that I just thought it was decent at best.

What I described as an idea for how this movie could work, could be easily done as a faux documentary, if the scenes that the interviews cut to were functioning as dramatic re-enactments of the events that they are describing but, no studio is going to pay to make a big budget zombie apocalypse movie starring Brad

I think the best way to do this film so that it's actually works and is entertaining for a general audience (or zombie movie fans at least) would be to have each interview start with the talking head footage, then you continue to hear their voice as it fades into a depiction of they experienced, and then their voice

Gotta agree with this being a bad idea, epsecially considering how shitty all the Crypt movies after Demon Knight were (not to mention the decline in the quality of the last couple seasons of the show).

Now this is the kind of remake announcement I like to hear. The only remake I heard announced that I thought might work was Suspiria and that's only because, David Gordon Green was supposedly attached to direct, and I thought it would only work if he combined the score and cinematography together with the same level

The Signal is the last horror movie I can remember watching that actually affected me enough to leave me feeling really fucked up, as well as totally drained.
