It was some time ago that Criterion first announced their plans to jump into the HD world with their blu ray editions of select films from their past and upcoming catalog. I remember being particularly excited about the inclusion of Gimme Shelter on that original list. Now, more than a year ...

We caught this trailer before A Serious Man a couple of weeks ago, and to be honest, at the time I wasn’t even clear on whether or not it was a documentary. Babies is directed by Thomas Balmes and follows the story of four newborns from totally different corners of the globe: ...

Blur were the first band I ever saw live, at 12 years old I went to see them at the height of the Britpop frenzy, two months after the release of The Great Escape and so they have, and always will, remain a huge part of my youth.

I went to Chuck E. Cheese’s once or twice when I was a kid, and all I can remember is that it was a ton of fun and absolute sensory overload. One thing that always kind of freaked me out, however, was the animatronic band that played there. As it turns out, there was another competing ...

No, it’s not a documentary about casinos… it’s another doc about the financial meltdown that uses a casino metaphor to explain how the money disappeared. Looks like it should be a little more in-depth than Michael Moore’s Capitalism: A Love Story , but will it ...

So there was some big news to come out of CPH:DOX; Harmony Korine’s Trash Humpers has won the grand jury prize. An interesting choice to say the least, considering the fact that the film is not a documentary. In fact, some seem to be questioning whether or not it should even be ...

I’m wondering how it is that I completely missed The Carter last year at Sundance? Not just the fact that I didn’t see it, but I hadn’t even heard of it until now. Either way, the official trailer has hit the net and I must say it looks pretty great. I know very ...
