Its A Wonderful Life

January 17th, 2007 · 2 comments or link to (permalink)

Just as the holidays are over, re-live them with one of the best films ever made, Frank Capra’s, It’s a Wonderful Life, with Jimmy Stewart. Gives off more warmth than a truck load of anthracite.

Running time: 2 hours 10 mins.

Kenneth Anger’s Lucifer Rising 1973

January 16th, 2007 · comment or link to (permalink)

A definitive art house piece. Brilliant or bullshit - you decide. Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page took 3 years to do the soundtrack, which Anger dumped and replaced by one by convicted murderer Bobby Beausoleil of the Charles Manson family.

Running time: 28 mins.
