I'm hangin' w/ you then, Abdrewes! I think you might have missed my post a little bit ago, but I mentioned that I have never seen Blow Up, but am very fond of Blow Out and LOVE The Conversation. I am also not averse to the works of Brian De Palma, although I've only seen a few. I didn't know about the similarities w/ The Conversation. Should I blind buy this movie? Keep in mind, I really don't blind buy being that I'm just starting to build my collection and there are movies that I consider to be my favorites that I haven't upgraded to blu yet. What do you think? 90% on RT and Ebert gave it 4 stars. I feel like Ian Curtis from the song "Dead Souls" - "they keep calling me" (it keeps calling me, in this case. )

Hey, Andrew!

I hope you managed to keep yourself from ejaculating after seeing the announcement that Criterion has finally added a Michael Mann film to their Blu-ray catalog.

Incredible month! I'm so glad that I held off on seeing Throne of Blood. Now I can see it in HD for the first time

Excuse me while I do backflips over the announcement of Thief.

Rififi makes me the happiest. It contains the best heist I've ever seen.

Awesome lineup!

I really want to see Like Father, Like Son but there appears to be no home video release date. What is HIFF?

Hawaii International Film Festival. They lean very heavily toward Asian films.
