Ley Lines – Review

March 7, 2005

Moody, silly, hopeful, and violent as all fucking get out, Ley Lines is the best of Takeshi Miike’s Black Society Trilogy films, but I wouldn’t watch it first.

King Of The Hill: Complete Second Season – Review

March 7, 2005

A hilarious, warm-hearted cartoon series created by Mike Judge (Office Space, Beavis and Butthead) and Greg Daniels (The Simpsons).

Kichiku: Banquet Of The Beasts – Review

March 7, 2005

Japan’s I Spit On Your Grave. Kichiku is worse in that it creates it’s own sick, sick world. In some circles, this might be one of the greatest films ever made.

Futurama Collection: Volume Four – Review

March 7, 2005

While The Simpsons had a long developmental trajectory toward excellence, Futurama was hatched fully hilarious, and each episode is as good as the next.

Fishbone- Critical Times – Hen House Sessions – Review

March 7, 2005

A “forget-me-not” to remind folks that Fishbone is still a hard rockin’ funk, punk, ska, jazz, reggae, metal machine. And they’re still weird as hell.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind – Review

March 7, 2005

The bulk of the film is what happens in Carrey’s sleeping brain as technicians zap his memories. This is even trippier than it sounds.

Epidemic – Review

March 7, 2005

Element and Zentropa play like Blade Runner-esque acid trips gone wrong, Epidemic is the pretentious claptrap shown to film classes to test their patience.

Dogville – Review

March 7, 2005

Lars von Trier is the Danish director who almost drove Björk insane, and now he’s out to have the same effect on his audience, if Dogville is any indication.

DJ Shadow – In Tune and On Time – Review

March 7, 2005

In 2002, DJ Shadow upped the ante of his live shows by incorporating elaborately timed video sequences, and a strict “in tune and on time” regiment.

Dismember – Live Blasphemies – Review

March 7, 2005

An 11-song set (short for DVDs) of tightness and brutality crush the audience as crystal-clear production translate each drop of sweat and grinding perfectly.
