![Prime Cut [DVD] [1972]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/304b2327-370a-41e7-956a-951dd4939472.png)

A movie like this would be difficult to duplicate for its release from the 1970's. A blend of crime drama, cornball humor, and Western shoot-ups; Lee Marvin's Nick is a mob enforcer from Chicago set to have Hackman's redneck thug in Missouri pay the outfit 50K or die. Rescuing a young girl (Spacek) from human trafficking, the movie plays on with shoot-ups and chatter that seem more silly than serious. The movie is good for fans of the actors but feels like just about any crime-action film.
What's great about it: Hackman, Lee, Spacek.

The movie has its intrigue but the movie nonetheless felt familar to every revenge criminal movie such as 'Deathwish' and 'Dirty Harry.'
Funny to see Los Angeles with little graffiti in the scenes, but the movie is for old movie fans and may not grab much attention. There are some surprises, but the movie stretches longer than needs.

What's great about it: First to set up standard crime action films.
What's not so great: Better to rent first.

Elastica had their 15 minutes of fame in the nineties only to get tied in legal woes in the years to come. This latest album is attention-span shredding speed alternative pop that could appeal to young kids, teens and nostalgics alike. If 'The Bangles' spliced with 'Primus' it would be this album. Some original songs played under a familiar style.
What's great about it: Short original songs and some samples.
What's not so great: Style that you have heard before.

Controversial and brilliant director Gasper Noe follows his worldwide sensation Irreversible with another triumph. Enter the Void is Noe's most assured and haunting film yet, a Inchhead tripInch a la Stanley Kubrick's 2001 A Space Odyssey and at the same time a piercing modern drama. Newcomer Nathaniel Brown and Paz de la Huerta (HBO's Boardwalk Empire) star as a brother and sister trapped in the hellish nighttime world of Tokyo where he deals drugs and she works as a stripper. A crime gone bad leads to shocking violence and then moments of transcendence in which the movie plunges viewers into death and rebirth like no film has ever done before via Inchmesmerizing cameraworkInch (The New York Times) that make it Incha dazzling and brutal exercise in cinematic envelope-pushingInch (New York Post). Stunning audiences around the world, Enter the Void is a cinematic experience like no other.

A British addict/artist/dealer lives in Japan reunited with his adult sister since the deaths of their parents in a car accident. A deal gone bad renders him a ghost in first person perspect seeing the effects of his friends after his demise. A slow movie with weird camera angles, special effects, and a suspended sense of illusion and reality. Total arthouse movie, some nudity/drug content. The movie will either amaze or put u to sleep. Feels like watching a moving painting above all else.
What's great about it: Heavy with special effects and visuals.
What's not so great: Slow, tedious, not for children, substantial plot.

![The Way of Curve 1990/2004 [CD]](https://bestbuy.ugc.bazaarvoice.com/profiles/3545a/static/noimage70.gif)

'Curve' hit the UK in 1990-2005, and could have been far bigger in the USA but never touted to be a "pop" band like most. Tapping heavy guitar layering and electric synthisizers... listening to the first CD's 7 songs were back-to-back intense. Absolute club music; Techno music that could shadow 'Depeche Mode' or 'Garbage'. Two discs, 29 songs.

![Dredd [Includes Digital Copy] [DVD] [2012]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/fef658f7-c8c7-400c-b94c-63a3111b2891.jpg)

The movie is a simple sci-fi action film set in a post-nuclear future with Judge Dredd (Karl Urban) training a psychic rookie (Olivia Thrilby) in a wasteland society of crime and anarchy. Translated well from the 1975 comic of same name, the movie is simple blunt action and violence with questions on violence over justice. A few surprises in the mix, but no different from mixing 'Mad Max', 'Bladerunner' or 'Robocop' with Dirty Harry in the bowl.

It could have been a jokey Tarantino rip-off but turned into a Seinfeld styled waste of time. Fans of 'In Bruges' may like this, but the movie goes into a bunch of unneeded subplots. Abbie Cornish and Olga Kurylenko are criminally underused actresses who had little screen time or character. The sole draw of the film was Christopher Walken's reformed maniac as the moral draw of the movie entirely. Even music legend Tom Waits is wasted as a disposable character. Great movie if you like small dogs and rabbits, though.

A cross between an 'Elvis' album, mixed with familiar punk sounds- Iggy Pop is underestimated for his age in music as his teamwork with The Trolls, Peaches, Green Day, Sum 41 and past members of The Stooges make the same old sound fresher, new and crisper. The album bleeds rebellion, alienation and same punk themes with a more rock and rockabilly hook. Shame this album wasn't more mainstream.
What's great about it: Pure punk-rock-grunge-techno spiral.

![The Beguiled (1971) (Widescreen) [DVD] [Standard]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/9a849016-07b2-4c03-8ac8-8f0f6c9cfa47.jpg)

A somewhat kinky film for its time, 'The Beguiled' is an early work for Clint Eastwood that could attract fans but it's a movie neither a hero epic or a rommance. Clint Eastwood plays a charming and deceptive Union soldier in the Civil War rescued from injuries by hospitable southern girls into a school who he plays on their emotions to keep himself alive. Slow with some tension, the movie reflects on wartimes and feminism in the '70's. More a drama than a date movie by all means, movie trailer included.
What's great about it: Hey, it's Clint Eastwood.

Released in early 2000, 'Samurai Jack' remains to be a series of brilliance that could surpass most CGI films in action, horror, comedy, science-fiction or for sheer adventure. Gaining fans such as George Lucas, this series is a constant surprise that will lead you wanting to watch over and over again. This series could rank the top 100 in animations with Bugs Bunny and the Disney features..no doubt about it.
What's great about it: Suitable and enjoyable to any age.
