    great little documentary about the band Earth. slow motion minimalism drawing on folk textures, monolithic blues unfolding around the listener in waves of amplified guitar.

    thought provoking documentary on the mighty Cecil Taylor.a true pioneer. percussive tone clusters, polyrhythmic intricacy and improvisational physicality. you FEEL Cecil Taylor. his work with the classic Unit (saxophonist Jimmy Lyons and master drummer Sunny Murray, and later with the equally influential Andrew Cyrille) is a MUST for any fan of music's ability to transcend and inspire. a pronouncement on life, art and music.

    Silence

    Silence (Trailer) from Harvest Films on Vimeo.

    "The cuckoo calls from the well of my mind, more echo than thought, as it fades through the wind and flickers away to the silence beyond like the voice, in myself, of another." ‘Insomnia in Southern Illinois’, by John Burnside Eoghan is a sound recordist who is returning to Ireland for the first time in 15 years. The reason for his return is a job offer: to record landscapes free from man-made sound. His quest takes him to remote terrain, away from towns and villages. Throughout his journey, he is drawn into a series of encounters and conversations which gradually divert his attention towards a more intangible silence, one that is bound up with the sounds of the life he had left behind. Influenced by elements of folklore and archive, Silence unfolds with a quiet intensity, where poetic images reveal an absorbing meditation on themes relating to sound and silence, history, memory and exile. Financiers: Bord Scannán na hÉireann, RTÉ, Broadcasting Authority of Ireland, Section 481. Developed with the assistance of Bord Scannán na hÉireann / The Irish Film Board and the MEDIA Programme of the European Union. Director: Pat Collins Script: Pat Collins, Eoghan MacGiolla Bhríde, Sharon Whooley Producer: Tina Moran Photography: Richard Kendrick Editor: Tadhg O’ Sullivan Sound: John Brennan, Éamon Little Additional Camera: Colm Hogan Additional Sound: Chris Watson Featuring: Eoghan MacGiolla Bhríde, Hilary O'Shaughnessy, Andrew Bennett, Jens K.

    Recoil & In The Sun
    Both of these movies deal with the theme of people fighting back against meth gangs who have taken over a locality. If you like action movies like The Punisher then you'll want to own a copy of Recoil. A Texas cops goes nuts on a rural motorcycle gang. All the violence you can handle. Some nice scenery of a mountain town in the Cascade Range of Washington. If you lean more to the humorous then In The Sun with Danny Devito is the one for you. This movie was filmed in what looks like either the high desert out by Palmdale or some where near the Salton Sea in an all to real mythical bust town of Trona. With the recent release of these two movies, it would seem that Hollywood is trying to make a statement here. I guess my local area missed these kind of buzzards and i do feel sorry for rednecks fiending on ice making otherwise nice people suffer. It's all too much...

    Hunger Games
    This was only a "good" movie. I liked the theme. Corporate rule over the planet after an uprising decides there needs to be a "lottery" pageant where young people kill each other till one is left. It looks like they filmed the capitol scenes in Victoria, British Columbia. The Capitol people are a trip with their clothes and hair-dos and their attitudes about the peasants in the outlying districts. The corporate hype around the Hunger Games is ridiculous. If you buy something with a "Hunger Games" logo then you are definitely one of the peasants from the outlying districts. I fell asleep for part of this movie. Definitely a "meehhh to good" rating.

Couldn't let this one go by... Jerry & Hunter are alike in some ways, different in others. They were both artists and they both took their own lives, which is a controversial and radical expression of freedom. To say that Jerry didn't know he was taking his own life at some point in the 20 years he was using is ridiculous. Is that the distinction you are trying to make? Please PM me on this if you'd like to reply, most people have no appetite for this subject.

George Clooney will probably win an Oscar for his role as a corporate exec. who flies around the country firing people. His goal in life? To accumulate 10,000,000 frequent flyer miles. It is a very witty and sophisticated comedy. The people he fires are played by people who have been recently laid off from their jobs. This whole movie is really quite poignant and very good. One of the best I've seen in the last 5 years.

At one point, a "prophet" named Benjamen Creem say's: "God told me to watch in the window. the're was a carB.M. and you got in the car? B.C. Yes" Sound familiar to me. lmao, Richard.

Samuel L. Jackson fans will love this one. The movie is a thriller about a terrorist who plants a number of nuclear bombs around the country in the major cities, exactly what number is the main question. The movie has several statements to make about fighting terrorism in general: Who the players are Who has the moral high-ground: Are both warring parties on the same level?? How far are the players willing to go to accomplish their missions? This is a movie you watch from start to finish without stopping, or at least hitting the pause button. Highly recommended if you are into action thrillers that are well done and leave you thinking afterward.

I remember feeling sorry for Jacob Singer and then really happy for the guy once I figured it all out. Having eaten a couple of bad ones in my day, I realized it could have been alot worse. This film really spoke to me at the time. ( Can't remember why?). I think this was Mackuly Culkin's first role.

....to me, if I want to laugh I'll throw on "Blazing Saddles" or "Life of Brian". My two favorites. I wonder what would have happened had Mel Brookes teamed up with Monty Python? Mmmm...

Have any of you seen an environmental documentary called "The Cove"? About a guy trying to save dolphins from being slaugtered in a bay in Japan?? My animal-loving almost 13 year old is asking to see it on tv tonight, but I am not sure whether this is a good idea.********************************** By trying we can easily learn to endure adversity -- another man's I mean.

but I think it's pretty gory and somehow I think your 13 year old already knows that slaughtering dolphins is not so swell.

Then check out "A Wild American Forest" narrated by Susan Sarandon. It's a film about the Klamath-Siskiyou ecoregion which straddles the Oregon-California border and where I've lived for the past 25 years. Check it out and then come visit ! Walk you in the tall trees

Just saw this particular version for the first time. Had me rockin' even though I didn't attend. Fell in love with '69 Grace Slick. Triple Scorpio with those piercing blue eyes! Janis Joplin with the crazy quilt stargown. Wavy Gravy's announcements from the stage. Jimi Hendrix playing the Star Spangled Banner>Voodoo Chile (I think) ~ Hipsters, tripsters, real cool chicks sir ~

Soldier Of The Road - a film about Peter Brötzmann. "This film came out of an irrepressible desire to hear Peter Brötzmann's music live, to record his sounds as he crafted them, to film the energy and the freedom of this man. I knew the old vinyl covers he had designed as well as his posters, but the discovery of his painting was a revelation, Above all, as we discussed, enjoying a good cigare, I discoverd a sensitive, open minded man. It was a privilege..."

A variation on the mad scientist theme. Modern pharma hires bright young DNA splicers to create new life and come up with life saving medicines. They create Dren, a humanoid creature that can be aquatic or avian when the need suits and has many other attributes as well, like being able to change sex. Which she does and has sex with the boy-friend, girl friend couple who are the splicers. Worth seeing but the morality play part (big corporation toys with life for profit) is weak in this movie to concentrate on the main character.

Riveting! I feel as though I knew this man my entire life yet we never met and I never saw him perform. An acquaintance over on rottentomatoes (as well all three of my sons) turned me onto Bill Hicks a few years back and my life changed for the better ... I no longer felt alone. I also really like "Sane Man".

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. always a stretch to challenge the '79 adaption with Alec Guinness. but with a superb Director in Tomas Alfredson; Let The Right One, yes the original Swedish film, not the pointless American remake. are U.S. citizens really so dumb that a language outside of English, a cinematic production with subtitles is so completely incomprehensible? Remember: SUBSTANCE OVER STYLE. digression in the rear view mirror. nicely paced, nicely shot and nice sound. not exceptional, but anything with Gary Oldman has a certain gravitas. and Kathy Burke is always a treasure. dominates any scene she's in.

from the mind of Hunter S Thompson. Johnny Depp plays Hunter not so well in this book that was not so good. Trying to squeeze every last dollar out of the estate, eh? The movie opens 10/28

Johnny Depp reading the phone book is probably worth the price of admission, but still.

i wonder if he'd read it in a faux kooky 'I'm eccentric, me' exaggerated dead dull void like tone?talent deserted long ago, producing visual ennui while the crowds gawp on in pleasure, drowsily spooning mouthfuls of congealing nachos into their glistening chops. Depp's recent films represent untertainment at it's finest and will be warmly welcomed by anyone who regularly sits in front of the screen with a loaded shotgun in their mouth, trying to pluck up the courage.

the last time I set foot in the local multiplex was for the Dead movie screening. They're not going to get my money for this. But there's nothing wrong with being fun to watch, and luckily Johnny Depp can make the phone book fun to watch. You want high art, this is probably not your movie.

Kevin Spacey, Donald Sutherland & various others team up on a witty, fast-paced comedy about three white guys in LA trying to kill their bosses. How they managed to make this plot very good is beyond me. Great acting, production values and blooper reel at the end.
