Koyaanisqatsi / Powaqqatsi (2 Pack) from MGM/UA Video Price: $22.49 Customer Review:  I can not speak for the DVD as I currently only own the VHS versions of both Koyaanisqatsi and Powaqqatsi. I first saw Baraka back in the 90s in the theater in its original 70mm glory and was absolutely blown away. Years later I stumbled across Koyaanisqatsi in a now defunct Blockbuster Video... |

Fawlty Towers - The Complete Collection from Warner Home Video Price: $44.99 Customer Review: This DVD set is a superb collection of repressed anger and skewed psychology, all wound up into one single person--that is, Basil Fawlty. The twelve episodes contained herein are, of course, the entire collection. The small number of episodes is certainly a breath of fresh air, especially when... |

Best in Show from Warner Studios Price: $14.98 Customer Review:  Christopher Guest brings us another documentary-style comedy. This time it's about a dog show and the eccentric dog owners. Many of the laughs come from simply observing how ridiculous the characters act with their pets. I crack up every time when Guest (as a southern fisherman) speaks dog language... |

Waiting for Guffman from Warner Home Video Price: $14.98 Customer Review: First of all, I'm shocked to see so many references to the VHS edition of this movie! This should be in any dvd collectors library. This is one of those rare comedy gems that often gets overlooked by a public feeding on Dumb and Dumber style comedies. Sorry, but there isn't any gross out humour... |

Sex/Erotica for Women: Candida Royalle's Stud Hunters DVD from Femme Productions Price: $34.95 Customer Review: I had heard of Candida Royalle's work but had never seen any and I have to admit I was skeptical. It was definitely different from other sex movies I've seen. It was funny and the erotic scenes were both tender and hot. Even my husband liked it! |

American Beauty (The Awards Edition) from Universal Studios Price: $10.49 Customer Review: I always enjoy reading the reviews of controversial books and films. The ones that entertain me the most are those in which the reviews claims that those who enjoyed the movie are demented, that any sane or intelligent person would have hated the film, that the true intelligentsia would despise... |

Magnolia (New Line Platinum Series) from New Line Home Entertainment Price: $20.24 Customer Review: P.T. Anderson has created in Magnolia a modern masterpiece. The ensemble cast is amazing; it's hard to single out outstanding performances. Even Tom Cruise demonstrates for the first time in ages that he can act. My favorite performances, though, are carry-overs from Anderson's last film, Boogie... |

Babette's Feast from Mgm/Ua Studios Price: $11.21 Customer Review: The feast of the title doesn't take place until well into the film. In fact, the majority of the film is spent telling the story of 2 godly sisters and the choices they made in life. Both sisters passed up true love and the promise of success in order to remain faithful to their religious beliefs.... |

A Real Young Girl from Fox Lorber Price: $19.98 Customer Review: I give this film 4 stars for its bold character. It confronts issues of sexuality head on. The pubic phase of a young girl's life is in lugubrious presentation here. Yet, even with all the nudity and sexuality, what I remember most about this film occured in the first 15 minutes when the real young... |

THE WINTER WAR (Talvisota) Price: $45.00 Customer Review: This was a war that the Soviet Union waged on Finland in the winter of 1939 to gain access to a port. They got quite a shock when they were met by extremely stiff resistance. This movie chronicles a group of friends who go together to the front to fight. This is a tough bunch of guys, but they never... |

Stalingrad from Fox Lorber Price: $27.98 Customer Review:  I'll give director Joseph Vilsmaier some credit for being ambitious, just some. For the most part, Stalingrad is a pretty bad war film, one that struggles constantly to be dramatic and powerful but feels so obviously choreographed and forced that the payoff comes off feeling very weak. Stalingrad... |

Breathless from Fox Lorber Price: $19.98 Customer Review: I first watched "Breathless" in a film class my Senior year in college and I was amazed by it. Although this film was made many years ago, I was blown away by the production techniques used. Some people in my film class thought the movie was stupid and made no sense, while others (including myself)... |

Snatch (Special Edition) from Columbia Tri-Star Price: $20.96 Customer Review: After seeing Fight Club, I gained a huge amount of respect for Brad Pitt. After hearing that he Benicio Del Toro (who I adore, see my Fear and Loathing review) were "starring" in Snatch, I was sucked into the theatre to see it. Up until that point, Fight Club had been my favorite movie, and now Guy... |

Run Lola Run from Columbia/Tristar Studios Price: $14.96 Customer Review: Catch this superb German film before Hollywood decides to remake it (and believe me, they will).

The plot is simple: Lola has 20 minutes to come up with 100,000 marks that her boyfriend Manni owes to drug dealers, otherwise he's going to have to rob... |

The story line, while a little convoluted, is at least interesting. I feel a little like The... |
