i hate to be one of those people that asks, "is this a good Criterion?" and / or "do people like this movie?! (insert a billion different options for titles) but i've really been interested in picking up Che. and with my netflix account having some issues, i'll likely end up just blind buying it when i get paid next.
is it like a documentary more than a film? or just kind of like a biography that plays out a bit like a documentary or time line of the man's life? (a la The Assassination of Jesse James / Blow) i'd also be curious if it has high replay value. as long as i don't hate it i won't mind adding it to my collection, but just curious to those who have seen it, if you've re-watched it from time to time or not. thanks in advance folks :) |

It's been called "One of the worst films of all time".:rolleyes: Um, directed by Jack Hill. Stars Lon Chaney Jr. and Sid Haig. And prob the cutest "mentally regressed" (because that is what the film says they are) psycho in Virginia played by Jill Banner. What's not to love? |
Anyone getting Robinson Crusoe On Mars? Looks pretty interesting lol.

Me want! I bought Shock Corridor on DVD, but I never got around to buying this one. |

Criterion releases many "forgotten" films from the major studios that they won't put the time or effort into releasing. Every film released by Criterion, obviously, can't be considered "great" to every person. Hopefully, though, you'll be able to discover more than a handful of films that you've never heard of and end up enjoying. CC |

Also Jon from criterion emailed me out of the blue to say he screwed up. For all mankind is not out of print. And he is sending me the booklet for free. Had to pay 5 for the last emperor booklet. Pretty good deal

Check this out! The song doesn't start until about the 1:34 mark, but I think it's fun watching Mike Patton orchestrate the rest of the band up until that point. Quote:

It's not a documentary, and the portrayal of the main character (who you probably already know about) is considered "very accurate" by some, and "completely fictitious" by others..... (in terms of character etc) The other thing I can say.... is the film didn't try to change, nor support any pre-conceived notions of I had of Che going into it, so I found that to be a nice surprise. |

I'm going to have to check out Fantômas as well... I see there's a track listing for Charade, The Godfather, Rosemary's Baby, Night of the Hunter, and freaking Twin Peaks: FWWM!! Thanks for throwing this out there! |
I watched "Paths of Glory" for the third time since picking up the Blu-ray..... I really would like to watch the "Storming of the Hill" over and over.... but I'm the type who can't watch a snippet of a film.... I've gotta watch the whole thing!

Fantômas CC |
Just saw the review for Robinson Cruseo On Mars, I haven't seen it in years so it will be very fun to see it once more on Blu-ray (I never got the DVD from 3 years ago for some reason I can't recall now)
I am also very happy about the new Fantomas movie (which is what everyone seem to be talking about) I completed the old silent serial during my Christmas vacation from Kino (been a while since I watched it). I do not recall much about the Fatomas of the 60's, I haven't seen or heard from them in a very long time (probably the 70's the last time I saw anything on that). Anyone as seen them? |
