WHAT'S UP DOC? - Review By Greg Klymkiw - This terrific Peter Bogdanovich screwball comedy in the grand tradition of Howard Hawks, Leo McCarey and George Cukor was made and set in the 70s with sensibilities reminiscent of the 30s and 40s, and happily, it's as fresh, funny and vital today. Do not miss it on the big screen this summer FOR FREE at TIFF before you buy the sparkling Warner Home Entertainment BRD/DVD.

ABSENTIA - Review By Greg Klymkiw - This terrific Val Lewtonesque modern horror film disturbs us with what we CAN'T see, and WHEN we see, what we're SUPPOSED to see, we become NUMB with pure terror!

THE HUNTER - Review By Greg Klymkiw - When star Willem Dafoe is alone on-screen against the backdrop of the Tasmanian wilderness, there's much to admire. Alas, the hackneyed plot gets in the way.

MELANCHOLIA on Blu Ray and DVD - Review By Greg Klymkiw - Lars von Trier's great movie still holds up and looks great on Blu-ray and DVD, but alas, North American viewers get hosed in the extra features department (unlike our European friends across the pond). Still, the movie is worth owning!

STRAW DOGS (2011) review by Greg Klymkiw - Incompetence Incorporated generates pathetic remake of Peckinpah Classic. Rod Lurie relieves himself upon audience and Peckinpah with rancid après botulism-infused burrito from Panchito's Whorehouse and Chimichanga Parlour in glorious Ensenada.

THE PHENIX CITY STORY - Uttered with a chilling matter-of-fact timbre and an unmistakable Alabamian accent, a fat, sweaty, cigar-puffing dispatcher in a dank, dirty and humid police station thick with smoke and the overwhelming karma of human rights violations, barks out: "Somebody just threw a dead nigger kid on Patterson's lawn. Go out and have a look." This occurs on the heels of the sickening, unforgettable image of a child's battered, bloodied body as it's flung like a rag doll from a passing vehicle and virtually into our laps. This is one of the great film noir crime pictures of all time. It's just as powerful and vital now as it was in 1955.

RAGE - 70s paranoia at its best as Oscar-winning George C. Scott directs himself in this nasty political thriller about a simple Everyman who believes deeply in his country until his country screws him royally and all he has left is seething hatred. Needless to say, he does something to let off a bit of steam. It's the American Way!
