"Change, or the struggle to make change fit into the established system, is Lee's most familiar chord. He struck it loudest in The Ice Storm." -- Slant Magazine

"As in any joke, destiny is a major character." -- Slant Magazine

"One of cinema's greatest cinematographic performances combines with a director's epic vision and superb craftsmanship to create a visual masterpiece. Restored by Criterion, this set is well worth remembering." -- Slant Magazine

"The Last Emperor is most decisively a lesson of nobility." -- Slant Magazine

"A fascinating subject that deserves all the intelligent attention it gets. Just, with The Celluloid Closet or Pornography: A History of Civilization, there have been better efforts." -- Slant Magazine

Indie Sex ()n/a

""You'll be what you are, self-reliant." A ringing quote that defines a film, a movement, a director, and a tremendous DVD set." -- Slant Magazine
Posted Jan 21, 2008
 
This Sporting Life (1963)100%
/
4/4
 
"This Sporting Life is a quintessential entrant in Britain's kitchen-sink realism of the late-'50s and '60s." -- Slant Magazine

"Hitchcock and film lovers alike should not pass up this worthy copy of one of the director's British-made masterworks." -- Slant Magazine
Posted Dec 26, 2007
 
The Lady Vanishes (1938)96%
/
3.5/4
 
"What separates Lady Vanishes39 Steps, and makes it more remarkable, is its genuine sense of purpose." -- Slant Magazine

"A hyper-violent, foul-mouthed war movie that outpaces Apocalypse Now, Platoon, and a dozen others for sheer motive force. This disc, packaged with so many other Kubrick classics, only makes it better." -- Slant Magazine
Posted Nov 19, 2007
 
Full Metal Jacket (1987)96%
/
4/4
 
"Somehow after the decadence of Barry Lyndon and a philosophical look at horror in The Shining, Stanley Kubrick settled into a film of unrestrained vitriol and aggression." -- Slant Magazine
Posted Nov 19, 2007
 
Full Metal Jacket (1987)96%

"Lacking the commentaries and home video footage that graced previous The Princess Bride DVD releases, and short any comment from Reiner or Goldman, this pedestrian set hardly excites." -- Slant Magazine
Posted Nov 13, 2007
 
The Princess Bride (1987)95%
/
3.5/4
 
"A film of remarkable forwardness, honesty, and humor, built, like all fairy tales, around one message, summed up late in the script: "True love is the greatest thing in the world."" -- Slant Magazine
Posted Nov 13, 2007
 
The Princess Bride (1987)95%

"Branagh's film suffers when that boldness does not go far enough, creating an adaptation that trades depth and cultural exploration for a few quick fireworks; it is not so much Kurosawa's Macbeth as Memoirs of a Geisha." -- Slant Magazine
Posted Sep 25, 2007
 
As You Like It (2006)31%

"The Hustler reaffirms your faith in the movies." -- Slant Magazine

"Sure, the film is about change, but did new culture come from Glastonbury, or did Glastonbury adapt to the culture? Without an answer to this or many similar questions, Glastonbury is a pretty spectacle with no documentary weight." -- Slant Magazine

Glastonbury (2007)78%

"Get this edition if you like the movie, but stick to the theatrical release available as a feature on the first disc." -- Slant Magazine

"Cagney's well worth remembering, and this set is a good start to a specific corner of his career." -- Slant Magazine

"With baseball season underway, it's perfect timing to bring back this quotable classic. Remember The Ueck: "Just a bit outside!"" -- Slant Magazine

"Thirty-one years, plus well over a decade since I was abruptly introduced to the film. It is, as it was then, extraordinary." -- Slant Magazine
