What is the
Criterion Collection?

What is Eclipse?

What is Wholpin?


Godard Duo


Criterion released with all their bells and whistles, a pair of Godard films, Made in the USA (pictured) and the indecisively titled 2 or 3 Things I Know About Her. Well, which is it, 2 or 3, quit jerking us around.




Dollhouse S. 1


Joss Whedon (Angel, Buffy the Vamp Slayer, Firefly, Serenity) gets back on the TV horse with this new series. Don't let the first 4 episodes throw you off, the second half of the season is when it gets going.

12


A Russian modern day-set adaptation/re-telling of "12 Angry Men", which is a great Sidney Lumet film (itself adapted from a play). I just watched the Lumet film, and clearly thought, "this is so dated, i wish this was edgier....and Russianer".


Near Dark


Director Kathryn Bigelow made Strange Days and Point Break in the 90s. In the 80s she made her career with a crazy biker film starring a young Willem Dafoe, and this cult vampire film that never mentions the word vampire when her then husband James Cameron may have influenced the casting (a bit).
