Adam Whybray
Bigger Than Life: Perhaps it was just the experience of watching it with my little sisterBlake Williams → http://randgandb.blogspot.com
Baraka (Blu-Ray): Best-looking Blu-Ray disc ever releasedTrafic (Criterion): Great presentation by a great company of a great film by a great filmmaker
Aundre Jacobs
Tropic Thunder blows the rest to shit!!!!Mark F.
The Wire: Just started season 5 so… no spoilers. The Red Balloon: Finally brought myself to see it again for the first time since i was five years old. It was so traumatizing at first viewing (I hate bullies). Finally I am able to appreciate it for the wonderful and beautiful short it is.
Zodiac (Director’s cut): I don’t have the eloquence nor the space here to do this film justice. The longer it gets, the better it gets.Nick Tinsley → http://tinsleyfilm.blogspot.com
Pineapple Express: Technically ’09, but it’s a tribute to the most obtuse, absurdist mainstream comedy of the year, with a massive amount of extras that entertain and illuminate. Spaced: The Complete Series: Finally gets the Region 1 treatment, with brand new commentaries, and an exhaustive documentary, amongst many other things.
Bottle Rocket: Long overdue Criterion edition, with a pristine transfer and a wealth of supplemental features.G. Hess → http://bluecollarfilmscholar.blogspot.com
Two-lane Blacktop: One always wonders what has become of these almost famous directors. Monte Hellman comes off like an uncle you never knew you wished you had. The interview with James Taylor was strangely riveting.Alejandro Spinach:
You’ll get some remarks when they release “The State” on DVD
