The Hunger



Vampires are having their day -- from teen literature to leading tv shows -- but no modern interpretation has or will ever strike a chord with us like Tony Scott's 1983 cult-classic, The Hunger. David Bowie and Catherine Deneuve star as a vampire couple living in NYC with a sexy young Susan Sarandon as the object of their affections. The soundtrack, featuring Schubert and Bauhaus and lots in between, plus a generous helping of stylish eighties elements make for an addictive movie that we turn to again and again. We hear Hollywood is attempting a remake....we all know how that will turn out. [More]

Land of Look Behind








Today marks the 30th anniversary of Bob Marley's passing. His life brings to mind a film titled "Land of Look Behind," released in 1982.

The film's stunning cinematography and unique vision inspired Werner Herzog to credit the movie as one of the most influential films in the past fifteen years. 25 years later, the DVD of "Land of Look Behind" was finally released in 2007, so act like you know.
