Solaris – Review

October 15, 2003

Steven Soderbergh is becoming the master of the remake. Between Traffic, Oceans Eleven, and Solaris, he’s managed to (re)make worthwhile films.

Old School – Review

October 15, 2003

It doesn’t care if it’s been done before. It has no use for grand statements. Hell, there are times it can’t even be bothered to pay attention to its own plot.

May – Review

October 15, 2003

May might be constructed out of standard, stolen parts like the title character’s “friend,” but it never feels like a standard horror movie.

Led Zeppelin – Review

October 15, 2003

A five-hour plus, chronological run-through of one of the mightiest rock bands in the history of the genre, doing what they do best: Playing live.

KMFDM – Sturm & Drang Tour 2002 – Review

October 15, 2003

A visual documentation of the grueling 31 shows in 34 days summed up in 14 songs. This serves well simply due to the raw power of these shows.

Die Another Day – Review

October 15, 2003

Die Another Day is the best Bond film since Goldfinger, and arguably the first Bond film in decades that re-create the legend from the ground up.

Danzig – Archive De La Morte – Review

October 15, 2003

Archive De La Morte offers up 12 Danzig videos, no extras, no diversions. But man, what a slew of hard-hearted rock ‘n’ roll goodies.

Converge – The Long Road Home – Review

October 15, 2003

The Long Road Home is in-your-face, brutal, and an equally stunning collection of live show and fan footage all sewn together.

Cinema Beer Buddy – Review

October 15, 2003

Videos by Jimmy Eat World, Midtown, A.F.I., Strung Out and The Ataris. The highlight is the video for Taking Back Sunday’s song “Cute Without the ‘E.'”

Chaos – Review

October 15, 2003

It takes great skill to make this kind of thing work, and Nakata has it. It takes greater skill to wrap up the flurry of loose ends in a satisfactory manner.
