I have a number of blog
posts in “various stages of development,” but I wanted to draw
some attention to the DVD reviews I've been doing on a regular basis
for the Disc Dish site. I put a lot of work into in to these pieces
and am proud of 'em. As always, thanks for reading this blog:
The cult-classic TV series The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis: the Complete Series based on the great writings of Max Shulman, and featuring the sublime Tuesday Weld
The beautifully tragicomic Mike Leigh film Life Is Sweet
Frank Zappa: A Token of His Extreme, a 1974 record of my favorite iteration of the Mothers of Invention.
A Hal Hartley double bill on one disc: The Book of Life and the Girl From Monday
Bresson's classic, suspsenseful prison-escape drama A Man Escaped
Terrence Malick's perfect Badlands
The cinema-verite landmark Chronicle of a Summer
That Cold Day in the Park, the first truly great feature by Funhouse god Robert Altman
The versatile Isabelle Huppert stars in the farce My Worst Nightmare
Method to the Madness of Jerry Lewis, a hagiography of Le Jer
The French drama 17 Girls, based on the real-life case of a group of Massachusetts high school girls who all got pregnant at the same time
More priceless gags and wonderfully odd concept pieces from the Master: The Ernie Kovacs Collection, Volume 2
Pasolini's "erotic" trilogy based on great work of literature, courtesy the Criterion Collection: Pasolini's Trilogy of Life
