RT on DVD & Blu-Ray: Flight and Some Excellent Documentaries

Matthew Reimer

Side by Side sound interesting, featuring a large amount of famous directors. Maybe I'll rent it if I see it.

Wow, some really great undercover stuff this week, starting with the original "Narayama" (I've only seen the Imamura 1983 remake), so that's something I need to see. Also, is "Peter Pan" a blu-ray? Along with "Alice in Wonderland", it's my favorite of the second-wave of Disney films. And, as far as Czech animators go, Jiri Barta may not quite be on Svankmajer's level, his work is interesting (especially his "Pied Piper"). I'm surprised the Paul Williams isn't out yet, as it's been playing on Showtime pretty regularly. It's great stuff. And I'll eventually want to see Rashida Jones' writing debut, along with "Side By Side" and maybe "Late Quartet", but I'll also have to see "Flight" again to further appreciate its nuanced character drama.

If you have even a mild passion for film, Side by Side is an essential. It's a shame it didn't get much awards attention in the documentary categories.

I'm totally down for SIDE BY SIDE, PAUL WILLIAMS STAY ALIVE, DIANA VREELAND as I've been on a real documentary high lately. As far as the features, FLIGHT is not one of the best films of 2012, however I do think it's extraordinarily intense, particularly for Robert Zemeckis, as he has rarely ventured into R-rated territory. Zemickis' only other R-rated film is USED CARS (1980), the fabulous cult comedy starring a fresh Kurt Russell! In fact, I would recommend getting USED CARS and FLIGHT together, as the former would serve as a perfect laugh-filled, late night treat in sobering up from FLIGHT, which is worth watching for Denzel Washington's performance alone. I agree with the Oscar nomination for Denzel, though not for John Gatins' script.

This week, I'm gonna get Flight and possibly Here Comes the Boom. Everything is raving about Denzel and he is my favorite actor so this is a must buy for me. Here Comes the Boom actually looked decent and Kevin James in always likable even if his movies suck. Celeste and Jesse Forever may be worth a rent and the others are just not that appealing.....

Which Criterion version of The Ballad Of Narayama was released the 1984 version or the 1958 version b/c when I click on the film - it goes to the 1984 version!
