Men in Black (1997) Review

I see many people have beat me to reviewing the movie, so I'll review the DVD(s). First of all, if you haven't played the DVDs, you don't know what you're missing! Compare the greatest DVD you've seen before with either of these two and you'll see just how many features we have here! The Collectors' Series has features like the two theatrical trailers for MIB, visual (or audio) commentary, a behind-the-scenes featurette, a behind-the-scenes look at the metamorphosis of MIB, the deconstruction of the tunnel scene, and studies of the 3 main CGI creatures: the Jeebs head transformation, the worm guys (carrying the cigarettes), the opening scene revelation of Mikey, extended and alternate scenes, a mess of storyboards, storyboard-to-film comparisons, behind-the-scenes photos, and conceptual art, and the music video. As you can see, this is one CRAMMED single-layer disc. But only buy the so-called "Limited Edition" if you're a DVD fan that will go to ends of the earth to get a ridiculous amount of features (some of which you won't even want) on a DVD (or two) for it. Also, only get it if you're a reluctant DVD owner and you hate having to watch movies in anything but fullscreen. Because all the Limited Edition has more is the fullscreen presentation, the Edgar Bug Fight scene deconstruction, a few extra conceptual art and the so-called "scene-editing workshop". If you're willing to pay so much extra for only those features, feel free, but you can get 3/4 of the features of the Limited Edition on the Collectors' Series and save a lot of money.

Coming Apart (1969) Review

Coming Apart (1969)

They don't make movies like this anymore. Released in 1969, "Coming Apart" died fast at the box office (you can get the sad details from the director's "essay" included on the DVD) and was virtually unseen by anyone for the next 30 years. Its belated release on video should change that, however.
The plot: A psychiatrist (Rip Torn) sets up a hidden camera in his apartment, which covertly records his liaisons with the unsuspecting women who end up in his lair. (Note: this movie is NOT for the kids.) Filmed (in black & white) entirely on a single set, with very little camera movement, it strongly resembles those old Warhol shorts, as well as the '60s underground flick "David Holzman's Diary," which employs roughly the same gimmick. Stars Torn and Kirkland really tear through the scenery--sometimes literally. The deliberately static style gives the proceedings a cozy intimacy and a convincingly "natural" look... but you'll probably wish, as I did, that it weren't quite so slow moving. It's a fairly interesting experiment, though, and a welcome change of pace from the manufactured junk of contemporary Hollywood cinema.
