Tales from the Gimli Hospital

Christmas! December 25
Plume-Noir review   Guy Maddin's first feature. We love Guy Maddin here. This film, like the others is very visual and strange. We also have two Guy Maddin shorts.

13 Conversations About One Thing

December 18
Ebert review   Five interwoven New York stories of people at crossroads, decisions are made for them, and they are forced to make decisions. A beautiful movie, we really liked this one.

Storytelling

December 11
Ebert review 30 A Todd Solondz movie with two stories about writers trying to make themselves more attractive by writing, titled 'Fiction' and 'Non-Fiction'.

Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!

December 4
Ebert review   The movie that director John Waters called "beyond a doubt, the best movie ever made. It is possibly better than any film that will be made in the future." I have a copy of Faster Pussycat, Kill! Kill! on DVD for sale. e-mail me for details.

Barton Fink

November 27
Ebert review   A dark comedy about a creative left-wing writer in the 1930's selling himself to the devil of power and money (hollywood in this instance, but it takes many forms) without fully realizing the horror of it.

Scotland, PA

November 20
Ebert review   A parody take-off on Shakespeare's MacBeth, with a fast-food twist!

Brotherhood of the Wolf

November 13
Ebert review   Is it French, or is it Hollywood? A genre-bending martial arts action thriller that takes place in the 1700's and is based on a true story? Hard to believe!

Aguirre, the Wrath of God

November 6
Ebert review 25 Shot on location in the Peruvian jungle, this film is about the decay of souls in a land of desolation.
  October 30 Cancelled    
Careful
(1993)

SFHF review
Austin Chronicle
  A wacky Canadian parody/homage to German Alpine films from early in the century. Visually it is intensely contrived and intentionally unrealistic.
