| I judge even my favorite silents by the standards of the silent era, but this film is timeless; it could not be done better if it was made today. A quasi-documentary somewhere between Man of Aran and Koyaanisqatsi. |

| This provocative British Sci-Fi show is subversively conservative; the good guys, convicted to the core beliefs of their church, protect civilization in a centuries old war against an insidious evil that preaches a seductive rhetoric of moral relativism. |

| A perfect anime for folks like me who don't usually get anime; It's lovely to look at, emotionally powerful, and short. |

| An expertly composed story with it's share of twists. Ava Gardner is the titular Countess whose life is recounted in three distinct acts, by three distinct narrators. |

| This movie offers plenty for people who like campy fun: incongruous casting, garish costumes, schmaltzy music, Paul Williams... |
