In keeping with tradition, I’m releasing my top picks of last year rather late in the calendar. The rush of films released in December means I like to take some time to catch up and produce a list that’s more comprehensive. Just how it goes if you want an accurate list. Most of my top 15 are films I […]
Alright, so usually these posts come out in January, but hear me out here. You saw so many Top 10 posts right after you replaced that desk calendar that you stopped reading them, right?
Indeed, a few titles on this list are films that I only saw – and was glad I did – because they picked up some minor nomination in late January. I purposely held this list back to give those films a chance at the list.
Delicatessen (1991) is the next film in my recent foray into free Hulu films.
Unlike the previous films in this category, it is neither a documentary, nor a film that you can watch for free, as its run on Hulu expired just hours after I finished watching it.
Rather, Delicatessen is a delightful foreign film (French to be exact) that I knew I had to see. I wasn’t expecting much from it, but was pleasantly surprised that it was a delight to watch.
After my exploration of the American debt mindset in the last film review, I figured this would be a good followup (my Hulu queue is usually so long that I can watch two films on any given subject back-to-back, as was the case here). You can view the trailer or buy a copy from Amazon.com.
This documentary explores the realm of trading carbon emissions credits and what that means both in terms of the economy and for the environmentalist.
Last night, I watched In Debt We Trust (2006), a choice that seemed pertinent given the recent happenings in Washington. This film, however, focuses not so much on the national debt, but rather the culture of debt created among American consumers. The first third or so of the program focuses in on the obvious facet: […]
“J.J. Abrams and Steven Spielberg.” Time and time again that’s how I’ve heard Super 8 (2011) described. People allege that this name recognition alone is all one needs to hear to be sold on the film. Alright, so there’s probably a good deal of truth in that. What with J.J. Abrams coming straight off his […]
4 Must Watch Director’s Commentaries – Even if You’re Not a Film Geek
I present to you – 4 director’s commentaries for any sensibility or taste!
These are my favorites and each of them has as much rewatch value as the respective film itself.
If you’re the type who can’t bring yourself to listen to an audio commentary, keep reading anyway. I’ve chosen a non-traditional set here, so at least one of these will appeal to you.
