A Crude Awakening: The Oil Crash (2006) |
|
"A compelling documentary, wrought with a dry rationalism and presenting the horrifying case of the stuff that's both "the bloodstream of the world economy" and "the excrement of the devil"." | |

A Scanner Darkly (2006) |
|
"this dystopian paranoid thriller tracks addiction in all its highs and lows, and offers a dignified elegy for its misguided casualties." | |

A Woman In Winter (2005) |
|
"listen very carefully [to the making-of featurette], and you will hear Jobson reveal just a little bit of his own interpretation of the film - something that he rather studiously avoids doing in the commentary." | |

Across the Universe (2007) |

Act of Violence (1948) |
