 | | 18. Eraserhead | | | Starring: Jack Nance Director: David Lynch | | Format: DVD Release Date: 1/10/2006 | User Rating: 5 |  | Eraserhead - DVD Review By: Jake Euker - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 11/17/2008 7:31 PM | |
It’s understandable if at first you feel as though you’re not getting enough information about Eraserhead's setting. And the timing is likely to puzzle you, too – not just the pace of conversations (of which there are few), but the sensuous, heavy-lidded rhythms of the entire movie. Then there’s the plot… Or is there? At least there’s a main character, a pasty, suited man who vibrates with something like extreme anxiety and hurries through the oily puddles of his weirdly industrial neighborhood as though someone were chasing him. read the full review | |

 | | 20. The Complete Monty Python's Flying Circus Collector's Edition | | | Starring: Carol Cleveland Eric Idle | | Format: DVD Release Date: 11/18/2008 | User Rating: 4.5 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 | | Monty Python's Flying Circus: The Complete Series - DVD Reviews By: Bill Gibron - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 11/7/2008 4:31 PM | |
In the history of sketch comedy, Monty Python's Flying Circus stands as The Beatles of humor. Not only were members Michael Palin, Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Jones, Eric Idle, and Terry Gilliam geniuses at the short skit format, but they redefined the configuration and expanded its realm of possibilities. Celebrated like rock stars and elevated to the status of gods, such success begs the question: does the origin of this myth --- i.e. the TV show from several decades ago -- still hold up. The answer, without a doubt, is a resounding yes. read the full review | |

 | | 27. Requiem For a Dream | | | Starring: Ellen Burstyn Jared Leto Director: Darren Aronofsky | | Format: DVD Release Date: 2/18/2003 | User Rating: 4 | | Requiem for a Dream - DVD Review By: Jeremiah Kipp - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 8/28/2009 5:42 PM | |
Imagine Trainspotting without any trace of humor and you're on the right track. Picture Pasolini's Salo: 120 Days of Sodom shot by some MTV music video kid interested in the novelty of his new camera. Darren Aronofsky (Pi) stacks one degrading sight atop another without implicating the viewer, nor providing any framework or reference for his visual rape of his audience - all smoke and mirrors disguising a great, vapid emptiness. read the full review | |
