		JVTV is one of those rare films you can easily watch again and again, and always makes me smile every time I see it.

	DVD Savant Review: Joe versus the Volcano
		Joe versus the Volcano is about taking responsibility for one's own life, which means having courage - courage not to be cool, courage not to be affluent: The courage to accept oneself and face life instead of studiously avoiding possible pitfalls.
		Joe versus the Volcano is of course a Shaggy Dog story, which uses its premise as a hook to keep us wondering how in the Heck it can satisfactorily resolve itself.
		One centers on the idea that Joe versus the Volcano is a child's fairy tale inspired by Joe's juvenile lamp, the one with the 'island paradise' pattern that becomes a motif.

		Joe Versus the Volcano, a provocatively-titled, modern day fable, is his fourth script and first opportunity in the director's chair.
		From the bowels of Joe's office, with its flickering florescent lights and unappealing coffee, to the magical New York skyline, with its multi-colored pastel lights, Joe is blessed with a behind-the-scenes crew capable of realizing Shanley's inspired vision.
		Joe Versus the Volcano is difficult to review because some parts are fresh, inventive, and entertaining, while others are near-misses or even complete failures.

		Plot Synopsis: Joe versus the Volcano is a fable which opens with somewhat surrealistic scenes of the dehumanization of Joe Bank's job and work environment (at a company whose product rather literally screws people) with imagery that seems to have been inspired by the classic film Metropolis.
		Joe is diagnosed with an incurable disease, quits his dehumanizing job, and accepts an offer to briefly "live like a king, die like a man" - but to fulfill his agreement he must willingly jump into a live volcano on the island of Waponi Woo in order to appease the volcano god.
		One such moment is at one point when Joe is close to death after the shipwreck on the ocean, in his weakness he is awakened to a spiritual realization of the preciousness and enormity of life.

	Mutant Reviewers from Hell do "Joe Versus The Volcano"
		This is a long-winded way for me to say that Joe Versus The Volcano would be hard to argue intelligently as a member of the cult genre, but the first time I saw it I knew in my gut that there is really no other category to place this film.
		Still, Joe Versus The Volcano veered off from the normal kind of Hollywood compost we're accustomed to, and it's enjoyable to boot.
		When Joe and DeDe leave the restaurant, there is a billboard on the left with a picture of an erupting volcano and the words "Fire in Paradise".

		Joe’s unfortunate prognosis and ensuing plight may be completely imagined, though his motivations and lessons are realistically applicable.

	Filmtracks: Joe Versus the Volcano (Georges Delerue)
		Joe Versus the Volcano: (Georges Delerue) In the final few years before his untimely death in 1992, Georges Delerue was enormously productive in the film composing scene, with a dozen scores to his credit in the 1990's alone.
		Interestingly, however, after hearing the mastery that Delerue had created in those fifteen minutes, the producers of the film asked the composer to beef up the content to beyond 45 minutes in length, and Delerue, at the last minute, was happy to oblige.
		Mounting requests from fans, along with the simple fact that Joe Versus the Volcano was the last of Delerue's great 1990's scores yet to be released on album, have led to this "Masters Film Music" release.

	Joe Versus the Volcano (Soundtrack) by Georges Delerue
		Written and directed by John Patrick Shanley, Joe Versus the Volcano is the story of a man named…well…Joe, and his attempt to find life through death.
		The truth is that watching this movie for the first time is a little disturbing, because the essential thrust of the plot is that Joe has been diagnosed with a terminal illness, and thus, volunteers himself as a human sacrifice to appease an angry volcano on a little island--It’s fun, bring the family.

		Joe Versus the Volcano offers a glimpse of what movie history might have been like had Tom Hanks (and, to a lesser extent, Meg Ryan) opted to go the quirky-indie-film route.
		Nevertheless, Joe, a former firefighter, seems miserably resigned to his fate — until his doctor (Robert Stack) diagnoses a fatal brain cloud and tells him he has only six months to live.
		Writer-director John Patrick Shanley seems to forget that while Joe is a certainly a thoughtful, endearingly off-beat allegory, it's also about as subtle as the gigantic moon that rises over Joe and Patricia as they drift on the dark ocean.
