Bad Education (Original Uncut NC-17 Edition)
2 recommendations
"A gay friend and I both have pure and impure interest in Gael Garcia Bernal, so we went to see this together when it was first released. We got to the theatre late and the only place to sit was in those awful front rows that when I attempt to watch from I can feel my contacs slowly slide off my eyeballs. We weren't happy, to say the least, but we had no choice. Then came the swimming pool scene..."
The Woman Chaser: Video
1 recommendation
"This is easily one of those movies that slipped through the cracks. To my knowledge "The Woman Chaser" has yet to be released on DVD. The first time I saw this movie was back in 2000 at a local art-house movie-theatre. Years later I bough it on VHS. Since then, the only action my VCR-player gets is from The Woman Chaser tape. Amazon.com is selling the video for $3.03 (f#@%! ridiculous). People of..."

Blade Runner : The Final Cut
4 recommendations
"I've been waiting for this for too long. Unfortunately I'd seen the original theatrical release so many times that when I finally got a chance to see the far superior "Director's Cut" I still had the crappy Deckard's voiceover narration running in my head--nightmare! This time I'm ready, many years have past since the "Director's Cut" I can now enjoy the new "Final Cut" without total recall of Dec..."

The Big Sleep

"Bogart and Bacall, at their best - with lines like, "She tried to sit in my lap while I was standing up", it hardly matters that the plot is impossible to follow."

Monster's Ball
1 recommendation
""Monster's Ball" is presented by Director Marc Forster as a dark, dreary film-noir like drama involving the role of fate in bringing together two different but distraught people from different races. Heath plays one of the two main prison guards: Two of the prison guards are Hank (Billy Bob Thornton) and his son Sonny (Heath Ledger). Ledger, in an all too brief role, shines as the son who reall..."
Renaissance
2 recommendations
"Renaissance is a landmark CGI film featuring exquisite stylized character design, inspired architecture, and a brilliant non-stop cityscape. The story and visual atmosphere drinks deeply from the dark hollows of film noir, so lots of dead ends, strange interiors inhabited by the odd, the powerful and the unfortunate, fierce women, sex,violence, death and doomed romance."
