Movie Review: We need more Hal Hartley movies on DVD
Summary: 5 Stars

This DVD was very hard to find, and i truly enjoy it the picture quality is top-notch, but the Dolby Digital Surround Stereo, does not do very well, this film it's a very human story, we definetly need more Hal Hartley movies on DVD, but thanks to Miramax and Anchor Bay Entertainment, "The Unbeliveable Truth" is coming out on DVD in March 13, 2001, WOW!, and i Sure hope that Fox Lorber Films and Winstar Cinema realese "Surviving Desire" on DVD,and that Turner realeses "Simple Men" on DVD, and that Sony realeses "Henry Fool", "AMATEUR", "Flirt" and "TrUsT" on DVD, that will be great!

Movie Review: TOTALLY MESMERIZING
Summary: 5 Stars

I brough this DVD four months ago, and i just cannot stop watching it, it's my favourite one, tough the Dolby soundtrack is not 5.1, it sounds truly great, the picture quality, is well good, but blurry, due because of the digital filming, the film is funny, smart, the acting it's truly great, but you have to be a very open person to watch it, this is the first one i saw from Hal Hartley, and when i have the chance i will buy the Unbeliveable Truth, from which i have seen the trailers and cannot wait to own, i just hope that in within five years, all the Hal Hartley films, are aviable on DVD.

Movie Review: Late 90's Jesus
Summary: 5 Stars

The concept of Jesus in a suit walking around Manhattan is interesting, and PJ Harvey is fantastic. This was one of my favorite 1990's indie films about the apocalypse, the other one was The Rapture, and those two films couldn't be more different. However, they're both thought-provoking to this day, even though the Year 2000 (and associated beliefs that it would bring the end of the world) has come and gone.

Movie Review: An amazing postmodern film
Summary: 5 Stars

I must admit at first I didn't enjoy the film, but after having watched it 4 times I managed to understand the film and derive meaning - the dialogue is just as important as the other film production techniques in the book of life - characterisation is superb and story development was commendable
I recommend this film greatly

Movie Review: Wonderful and totally unique
Summary: 5 Stars

Watching this film is in many ways like watching a dream that somehow makes sense. The camera work and casting are inspired, the script is wonderful, and the soundtrack fits the images perfectly. A real gem.
