Die Farbe - For Free

Well....not a proper review.  I'll get to that soon....if I have time to get any of my recently viewed flicks reviewed....

But the makers of Die Farbe are offering it up on youtube for free viewing from now through Sunday!

Highly recommended - this is a really classy piece of Lovecraft caught on film.

Check this film out - then support The Dreamlands on Indiegogo!

Discussion - Crowdfunding Lovecraft

Just wanted to push a little project I'm more than happy to support:

"The Dreamlands" is the next project by a European indie team that already produced a very tight adaptation of Lovecraft's "The Color Out of Space" in the form of "Die Farbe".

I'll put together a review of that Blu-Ray in the future, but for the moment, let me say that these guys are top notch and really have the cojones to put together a solid flick!

Blu-Ray Review - Space Pirate Captain Harlock

Despite seeing owning a series and a couple of movies about the character, I still find myself feeling a little bit like a novice when it comes to a seemingly archetypal anime character like Space Pirate Captain Harlock.  I think I had seen the character in bits and pieces over the years (certainly recognized him visually), but my first real viewing was maybe an episode of the Nibelung series during anime clue in college, before picking up "The Endless Odyssey" series on DVD about 7 years later.  Since then I've also seen him in "Arcadia of my Youth" and the Galaxy Express movies - although sadly, not the original tv series yet (hope to change that soon). 

Blu-Ray Review - Repo Man

Almost the eponymous punk movie of the early 80s, Alex Cox's look at non-conformity and life in Southern California is a real piece of work.  Rented it from netflix a couple years ago (regretted not blind-buying Anchor Bay's OOP collectors edition tin when it first came out a few years back), and the new Blu-Ray special edition from the Criterion Collection is a gorgeous release.
