Heartworn Highways is a music-documentary on what is called “outlaw country” and features interviews with the stars of the era including Townes Van Zandt, Guy Clark and Steve Earle. Available on Blu-ray and DVD April 27th.
The Switchblade Sisters has an uneven story but I still found it to be entertaining and the lead actresses were pretty fun in their roles, Joanne Nail especially.
Crash isn’t a movie I found all that great though my interest was mainly for some of the controversy and honestly as strange as the “plot” and characters were, it’s not that out of bounds at least nowadays.
There’s no doubt filmmaker Nico Mastorakis marches to his own drum which is commendable, but Death Has Blue Eyes was some… thing. I’m not sure what I was watching, I wouldn’t suggest watching alone, this movie deserves to be viewed in a group setting.
Hercules and the Captive Women comes to Blu-ray for the first time through The Film Detective with a new film restoration and a fine selection of bonus features.

The Day of the Beast is an oft warped horror/black comedy that, even with the dated effects, is still plenty of fun thanks to the performances and oddball storyline.

Spaceballs is a classic comedy from Mel Brooks, one that I’ve seen a few times over the years and while it’s not a favorite of mine, still makes for and fun and enjoyable 96-minute watch.
Perdita Durango was an engaging and, in a twisted way, entertaining romantic-thriller featuring two fantastic performances by Rosie Perez and Javier Bardem, both of whom should’ve gotten some major award recognition.
Southland Tales no doubt was ambitious and back in the day, based purely off of Donnie Darko, I looked forward to it, but the blend of political satire/commentary and end-of-the-world science fiction never gelled.
