Readers of this blog
might be unaware that I also review new DVD releases regularly for the Disc Dish website. I'm quite proud of the work I do for the DD site, so herewith are the
reviews of mine that have appeared in the last few months.
Godard's end-of-Sixties masterpiece Weekend
Robert Aldrich's taut political thriller Twilight's Last Gleaming
British comedian-ventriloquist Nina Conti's documentary about her relation to her very unusual (and funny) act, visiting a ventriloquist convention, and the grieving process, Nina Conti: Her Master's Voice
Robert Aldrich's taut political thriller Twilight's Last Gleaming
British comedian-ventriloquist Nina Conti's documentary about her relation to her very unusual (and funny) act, visiting a ventriloquist convention, and the grieving process, Nina Conti: Her Master's Voice
She sits, she stares:
Marina Abramovic: The Artist is Present
The great cult
anti-sitcom starring Chris Elliott, Get a Life: the CompleteSeries
Robert Bresson's
portrait of disaffected youth in the Seventies, The Devil, Probably
Terry Southern
co-scripted Aram Avakian's unforgettable The End of the Road
Maidstone and Other Films by Norman Mailer contains all three of Mailer's
compulsively watchable “experimental” misfires
Aki Kaurismaki's simply
sublime Le Havre
Bergman's trend-setting
Summer With Monika made a star and a defiant sex symbol out
of Harriet Andersson
John Cassavetes' most
personal and disturbing “work-for-hire,” Too Late Blues
Pearls of the Czech New Wave showcases six great Czech films of the Sixties,
including the mind-melting Daisies
The French biographical
drama The Conquest offers a non-too-flattering look at
former French pres Nicolas Sarkozy
The Rat Pack spirit runs
through Who's Got the Action?, a totally ridiculous yet very
entertaining big-screen sitcom episode starring the one and only Dean Martin
Gainsbourg: a Heroic Life, the Serge Gainsbourg biopic
Fassbinder's complex and
brilliant sci-fi telefilm World on a Wire
And proof that Frank
Tashlin was the filmmaker who was best able to make Jerry Lewis charming and
even (gasp) loveable onscreen, Rock-a-bye Baby
