Blue Velvet Another "classic" that I hadn't seen yet, I enjoyed it quite a bit. The first appearance of Frank Booth and the sex scene were some of the most intense things I've seen in film. Not to mention that final gunshot to the face was possibly the most satisfying death I've ever seen in a movie. Loved the ending too. Will have to watch this again some time. 8.5/10

Very remarkable film. I feel strongly that if Ebert were to view it again today, it'd be one of the best things he'd ever seen. Superb albeit dark subject matter, although, it'd be one of the top films even loosely involving ball not involving MJ. Just solid ****.

There has been a whole slew of medieval/fantasy films over the last couple of years and most of them have sucked TBH but this is definitely one of the best of the bunch. No sparkly white teeth, dodgy accents, beautiful sunsets or cutesy fights. It's brutal, bloody, has a base in actual history and looks stunning. All mist and rain and when someone gets hit by a sword they stay hit. The story is slight but it the overall execution makes up for that.

Most recently saw Tim & Eric's Billion Dollar Movie. Do yourself a favor, grab some of your closest friends that find fecal humor to be funny, and watch. It's hitting theaters in March, but you can grab it off of most on-demand providers and/or iTunes. |

Blue Velvet is a great film, Isabella Rossellini agreed to her part in it and as far as my knowledge goes never spoke out about being unfairly depicted in it. |

I would recommend looking up the novel it was loosely based on, Roadside Picnic by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky. |
