Movie Reviews of Lost Highway
Movie Review: Great film, lousy new DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
The five stars are for the film and NOT the new DVD release. Why it took more than ten years after the theatrical release for Universal to release this on DVD remains a mystery. A bigger mystery is why they have included none of the available extras on this long awaited DVD. The film print itself looks fine and sounds okay. It is a dramatic improvment over the pan and scan Canadian import. I suppose getting the film in widescreen should make me happy (and it does) but still . . . Universal choose not to include so much as the theatrical trailer on this release. The menus are not even animated. This is as bare bones as a DVD release can get. Even the lable of the DVD itself is simply black with the words LOST HIGHWAY printed on it. I suspect that in six months to a year we will see the "Special Edition" of this appear and those of us who are hardcore Lynch fans will fork over the money again. ///// And yes, to all future reviewers: Please stop trying to explain the plot or interpret the film. If anyone wanted to read that stuff we could go to a discussion forum.Movie Review: "everything i want, i have.."
Summary: 5 Stars
ok, one of my favorite movies... spare the plot details. basiclly THIS is the version to get... the focus features, universal release... the other one (with the blue tint vcover) is the canadian versian.. it is pan and scan... i bought it before, when it was the only option... this one is the way to go... only thing, there are no special features, and no booklet... inland empire has a little insert for lynch coffe...lol, and special features, as does the wild at heart, (i think its a reissue, with a cardboard case) and the second print of blue velvet... hope this helps some,.....another great film/(based off a comic) very similar, is called the maxx, there was a bootleg dvd t hat was made, because there is no dvd release, and the vhs goes for over a hundo. GREAT STUFF... check it out if you havent already, ... i dont think thatll ever be profesionally released, but still great to have... thoese bootlegs are even hard to find now...

Movie Review: Most Underrated and Underappreciated Move of All Time
Summary: 5 Stars
**** of ****
While not nearly inscrutable as most people assert, this film is as refreshing and invigorating, especially after watching all the garbage that's released nowadays, as any film in recent memory.I understand the quibbles of most people and the obvious difficulty it is for them to fathom abstractions that the movie throws one after another. Be advised, go back and watch the movie over and over, because once you understand the movie, it sprouts its wings and really soars (although one can enjoy the movie either way).Helpful hint: Think of the characters as highly stylized personifications of feelings, emotions, well pampered with a white face and camera, after which, it becomes, dare I say, rather logical. Even the camera, given much trepidation by the great Robert Blake, is utilized to represent something, a virtue - truth. The film is a real masterpiece and can stand up to all the films most renowned today. I also recommend Lynch's masterpiece Mulholland Dr.

Movie Review: David Lynch: Master Of Psycho-Noir...
Summary: 5 Stars
After many years of watching David Lynch's films, I've finally stopped trying to figure them out. It's not that I don't have theories about his movies, it's just that I get more enjoyment out of simply watching them, and accepting Lynch's ghastly universe in all of its dreadful glory. LOST HIGHWAY is the finest example of neo-psycho-noir I've ever seen. I like it as much as (perhaps a bit more than) MULHOLLAND DRIVE and BLUE VELVET. The characters are perfectly dark and mysterious, the setting is bleak and convoluted, and the atmosphere is suffocatingly ominous. Lynch's use of violence and sensuality, stirred into his black stew of "the unknown" make for a wonderful, creepy experience! I never tire of his stories because they are each a unique puzzle-box to play around with. HIGHWAY is another milestone in Lynch's career...Movie Review: This is Elegant Dark Art
Summary: 5 Stars
Yes, this film has Logic & a Plot!
It is not the familiar Logic and No familiar plot, nonetheless - it is a dark & elegant piece of art.
Here a witch-man played by Robert Blake curses and stalks a young monotonous couple to shake up their life - similar to the dumpster-witch in Mulholland Drive. (Witch herein is used in the popular sense, not the true respected sense).
Upon playing mind-games with the couple - Blake's character discovers where the plot should really take place - in an abandoned wooden hut in the middle of the desert, however to get to the plot - the mechanic, the cars and the jazz-playing couple need to get onto ... LOST HIGHWAY.
AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME!
