Barnes and Noble is having a 50% off sale on all their criterion dvd's.
I went yesterday and got Last Temptation of Christ and Videodrome. I just thought some of you movie buffs on the board might like to know, since I don't think ya'll would find out on your own due to the fact htat most of you hate barnes and noble... XD. Sidenote: I can't guarantee its not just in Houston.. but I would think not.

For those of you who love Criterion AND High-def, Amazon is also having a big discount sale on Criterion Blu-Rays.
I picked up Chungking Express and Last Year at Marienbad for roughly $40. Not bad considering one Criterion Blu @ list price is nearly $40. Thanks for the B&N info, Alan. Unfortunately my local B&N doesn't have a multimedia section. |

They've released some garbage (Armageddon? What the fuck?) and their discs are typically way too expensive. Having said that, they have released more amazing movies (and they're extremely professional about it) than any other company I can think of. At the top of my head, I'd check out the following:
400 Blows The Killer Schizopolis Hard Boiled Seventh Seal Chungking Express Dead Ringers Withnail and I Robocop Tokyo Story Naked Lunch Videodrome Slacker Ran Virgin Spring Jigoku (a bit dated but has some of the scariest visuals I've ever seen) Sweet Movie Mala Noche Fat Girl Last Year at Marienbad Alphaville Andrei Rublev HAXAN Branded to Kill Tokyo Drifter Wild Strawberries Eyes Without a Face Taste of Cherry Jubilee (a bit overrated but definitely worth a watch) Ali: Fear Eats the Soul Obscure Object of Desire Pierret Le Fou Breathless Made in USA 2 or 3 Things I Know About Her Elements of Crime Exterminating Angel In the Realm of the Senses Repulsion My Own Private Idaho F For Fake Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas In the Mood For Love Man Bites Dog (!) Contempt Through a Glass Darkly Band of Outsiders Life of Brian Sisters Discreet Charm of the Bourgeosie How to Get Ahead in Advertising By Brakhage (Dog Star Man is in my top 10 films of all time) I'm sure there's way more I'm forgetting, and obviously more I haven't seen but the above are all great, great releases that I've owned or rented off of nflix. The main problem with criterion is that they haven't released any Takeshi Kitano films. |

I'm trying to decide which one to go get tomorrow...
Salo The Man Who Fell To Earth or some more Kurosawa (reccomendations please, all I have is seven samurai)

Get some Kurosawa, out of your choices.
I wouldn't bother with Salo. It's vastly overrated. |

I've seen Ikiru and it's really good. It's much less stylized and mind-bending than the other Kurosawa films I've seen, but it's very well-done and pretty damn...emotionally intense. Think of a Mizoguchi film, if you've ever seen one. No fancy bullshit, just stripped down story-telling with great acting and subtle cinematography.
