DerangedDeranged (1973)Recommended
4 stars (Very Good) A classic horror movie with a strong cult following. Great performance by Blossoms.
SnowtownSnowtown (2011)Recommended
4 stars (Very Good) A very discomforting and challenging experience to sit through, but a well made film that is chillingly true to the real life story.
DVD $34.95 $19.95
FrightmareFrightmare (1974)Aro Favourite
4 stars (Very Good) A very tidy horror movie with a great 70s British vibe.
Something From Nothing: The Art of RapSomething From Nothing: The Art of Rap (2012)
4 stars (Very Good) A comprehensive line up of living legends tell us how they do it, making a treat for hip hop fans, engagingly presented by Ice T.
MesrineMesrine (Killer Instinct, Public Enemy Number 1) (2008)
4 stars (Very Good) Exciting and well made. The main character is not sympathetic and it comes as a relief at the end of the lengthy Part 2 when he his finally gunned down in a scene that was inexplicably previewed at the outset of the movie –– a poor directorial choice.
DVD $19.95
Camille 2000Camille 2000 (1967)Recommended
4 stars (Very Good) An enjoyable melodrama enhanced by a great Piero Piccioni score. Features Metzger's trademark beautiful people, lush sets and unashamed libertinism (enhanced with his next three features). The blu ray would get an extra star.
Freestyle - The Art of RhymeFreestyle - The Art of Rhyme (2000)Recommended
3 stars (Good Enough) A documentary of a New York subgenre of hiphop. Biggie, Tupac and Eminem barely appear so the summary put up by Aro is misleading.
Forbidden Legend, The - Sex & Chopsticks 1 & 2Forbidden Legend, The - Sex & Chopsticks 1 & 2 (2008-2009)
2 stars (Good Try) Lack\'s the amusing story and slapstick of Sex and Zen. What is left is pure soft–core porno; very nicely shot with beautiful Japanese actresses. The kinky Part 2 is much better than the somewhat dull Part 1.
DVD $29.95
NotoriousNotorious (2009)
3 stars (Good Enough) Competent biopic that is extremely well cast, props to Jamal Wollard for such a convincing lead.
ArmageddonArmageddon (1998)
2 stars (Good Try) It is easy to understand why we sneer at Michael Bay after sitting through this clunker.
