Blu-ray Review: Bob Fosse’s Beloved ‘Cabaret’ Gets Digibook Edition
Submitted by BrianTT on February 11, 2013 - 4:36pmCHICAGO – It’s easy to see why “Cabaret” was such a phenomenon when it was released in 1972.

It is a “serious musical.”
DVD Review: ‘The Mill and the Cross’ Deconstructs Imagery of Audacious Painting
Submitted by mattmovieman on January 31, 2012 - 8:39amCHICAGO – As an aesthetically exquisite experiment, Lech Majewski’s “The Mill & the Cross” is a nearly unparalleled achievement. Though other pictures, such as Peter Greenaway’s highly entertaining “Rembrandt’s J’Accuse,” have deconstructed paintings through cinematic essays built primarily on re-enactments, none have had the hypnotic tone and majesty of this picture.
