    Review 3 Days of the Condor (1975)

    This has always been a personal favorite of mine. Based on the James Grady novel, Six Days of the Condor, it is an intriguing mystery/thriller, which moves along fairly well. Sydney Pollack's direction is very good, and the actors all turn in credible performances, although I enjoy Robert...

    Review Life of Brian (1979)

    I don't know why neither this (nor Holy Grail) is ever on any of the premium movie channels. It is a brilliant satire.

In the Introductions section here at IM, when I saw member @Arch Stanton 's introduction post, I decided to...

    Review Ghost World (2001)

    Yay! I've been awaiting this one for a while. I know there was a German Bluray release a few years ago but read that there were audio issues. http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=20724 "Actress Thora Birch confirmed via Twitter today that Criterion will release on Blu-ray director Terry Zwigoff's...
