	MANHUNTER - DVD
		Director Michael Mann's (The Last of the Mohicans) third film is the remarkable Manhunter, the second cinematic adaptation of a Thomas Harris novel (the first being 1977's John Frankenheimer-helmed Black Sunday), and the first to feature Harris' dark serial killer antihero, Hannibal Lecter (spelled "Lecktor" in Manhunter).
		Manhunter is a fantastic, dark, complicated, disturbing, and exceptional film.
		Shots featuring Graham and Crawford sitting atop a giant driftwood log on a Florida beach look astonishing, almost like a postcard, something that Mann was surely aware of as he uses here a series of crime scene photographs presented to our reluctant hero as an ironic counterpoint.

	SIN CITY (R [R]): CAP Movie Ministry Entertainment Media Analysis Report MAR25026
		Sin City is yet another film that tends to remind me of the paintings in which a gaggle of demons dance and prance about a boiling cauldron, shrieking with glee as they toss soul after soul into the cauldron of Hell, cauterizing any veins of escape.
		Note that management of the local theater, the Driftwood Theater 6 has implemented special controls to allow no one under 17 to enter the auditorium showing Sin City unless their parent(s) or legal guardian accompanies them into the auditorium.
		We are introduced to the world of Basin City evil with the beginning of the quilt edging as a professional murderer wearing a salesman mask (Josh Hartnett) wooed a young lady in "Mickey Spillane" fashion then murdered her by silenced gunfire.

	DVD Verdict Review - A Night At The Opera
		A Night at the Opera is a crowning achievement for the Marx Brothers, and after almost 70 years, it's still a wonderfully entertaining film.
		It could be that I'm gushing a bit and missing a few of the film's flaws, but for once let's just overlook that fact and agree that this is overall a hysterical, timeless comedy.
		Groucho, Harpo, and Chico zoom through the film at a record pace.

	NYPOST.COM Movie Reviews: 'PAST' PERFECT By MEGAN LEHMANN
		His bleeding form is callously shuttled from pillar to post like a piece of driftwood (Peltola is often just as expressive), before washing up in a commune of sorts, a collection of fringe-dwellers who live in abject poverty in storage containers near a coal yard.
		Using saturated colors reminiscent of '50s Technicolor, Kaurismaki directs "The Man Without a Past" - a nominee for Best Foreign Language Film at last month's Oscars - with the assuredness of a master, letting his pearls of whip-smart dialogue drop gently and reverberate.
		An unnamed man (Markku Peltola) is mugged and beaten within an inch of his life on his way to find work in Helsinki.

		According to his book: "Blackbeard's treasure is buried at the landing side of the beach facing the Star Island Hotel, halfway across the halfmoon stretch of beach." That's precisely where the crew was digging, all right, exactly the same spot pointed out by Prudy Randall.

		Other fabulously gruesome characters include the crazy clown Captain Spaulding (Sid Haig) and the oddball lady killer Otis Driftwood (Bill Moseley); Marx Brothers fans should note that many of Zombie`s characters are named after roles played by Groucho.
		One of the advertising lines for the movie calls it positively the most horrifying film ever made!
		Zombie does his best to try to live up to that demanding tag, upping the gore quotient with numerous inventive killings that involve lots of blood and innards.

	Amazon.co.uk: Derek Jarman's Garden: Books
		A passionate gardener from childhood, he combined his painter's eye, his horticultural expertise and his ecological convictions to produce a landscape which mixed the flint, shells and driftwood of Dungeness; sculptures made from stones; the area's indigenous plants; and shrubs and flowers introduced by Jarman himself.
		Derek Jarman, the filmmaker and sometime Artist, was a prolific creator of things rich and strange: a prime example of which is his garden.
		Derek Jarman, british film-maker, artist and activist, found solace in his garden in Dungeness during his final years and this book reflects that passion.

		Groucho is the lovable conniving huckster Otis P. Driftwood, who tries to separate, not overly successfully, a rich social climbing matron (Dumont's superb characterization) from her money.
		All haircuts for the film were done with razors, the technique in 1805, to avoid a modern haircut appearance.
		Beard and mustaches were not allowed, so facial hair was limited to sideburns, sometimes quite bushy.

	DVD Review: Koyaanisqatsi
		"Koyaanisqatsi" is one of the more unusual films to be made in the past twenty years.
		The new transfer is defnitely an impressive effort from the studio, as although the film is nearly twenty years of age, it still manages to mostly appear fresh and clean.
		The message is clear from the opening; we are destroying our planet, while the cities that we've created take away from our individuality; we're driftwood lost in an ocean.

		Using the lizard's spontaneity and intellect, Agnatha saves himself from a certain watery grave by catching the branch from a tree overhanging the river and pulls himself to safety.

	Ranking the Star Trek Films
		From that first great opening shot where the Klingon moon explodes, catching the Excelsior in its wake and tossing it as if it were a little piece of driftwood in a wave, you knew this was a film that would depict an historic event in the Federation's history.
		PRAISES: Not only was this one of the funniest Star Trek films I've ever seen, but also one of the funniest films of all time period (at least in my opinion.) Once again, it's our familiarity with these characters that makes it so.
		And in the midst of such a horrific, unrelenting, and a very un-Star Trek like situation, the whole reason Picard and friends were suffering and fighting so hard was to preserve that very future of hope and peace that has always made Star Trek so appealing.

	City Pages - Movies - The Devil's Rejects
		The movie picks up after the first film's bloodbath in '78, as the (thermo)nuclear family of psycho doll Baby (Sheri Moon Zombie), Mansonesque mass murderer Otis P. Driftwood (Bill Moseley), and killer clown Captain Spaulding (Sid Haig) escape a police ambush to carve a bloody swath through the Southwest.
		Zombie stages head-on collisions of hellish cruelty, macho brinkmanship, and unwatchable sadism--along with (I'm not making this up) a garrulous Gene Shalit wannabe deconstructing the career of Otto Preminger.
		Because Zombie owns up to his taste for hard candy without ironic distancing, The Devil's Rejects will strike a lot of people (perhaps justly) as indefensible.
