Suffused with wry humor, Jean_Pierre Melville's Bob le Flambeur melds the toughness of American gangster films with Gallic sophistication to lay the roadmap for the French New Wave. A compulsive gambler decides to try for the big time when he attempts to rob a heavily guarded casino. Superior progenitor of the "heroic" gangster/failed heist films popularized in America with RESERVOIR DOGS. Bob Le Flambeur Reviews: "...One of the more delightful surprises....A very funny, jaunty movie..."
-- Vincent Canby, New York Times "...Unpredictably plotted and eccentrically edited; it's a wry meditation on male camaraderie..."
-- Tim Purtell, Entertainment Weekly 4 stars out of 5 -- "Helping pave the way for the French New Wave was this charming gangster film from Jean-Pierre Melville..."-- Tom Dawson, Total Film 4 stars out of 5 -- "[I]t's a terrific character study, not only of the chivalrous gangster planning a casino heist, but of Paris."-- Geoff Andrew, Uncut "The director tackles his B-movie yarn with plenty of lyricism, throwing in a poetic voiceover and evocative shots of Montmartre."-- Geoffrey Macnab, Sight and Sound

Bob Le Flambeur video
$13.65
A Billy Joe Shaver album is always cause for celebration, but on this 2007, Grammy-nominated release, the outlaw country troubadour shines in a whole new way. Produced by John Carter Cash, the album features all country-gospel originals, half of them sung in duet with a laundry list of country greats, including the late Johnny Cash, old partner in crime Kris Kristofferson, and Tanya Tucker. Although the Christian-themed lyrics are utterly sincere, fans needn't worry that Shaver has gone soft on them. The music crackles with country-rocking, honky-tonking fire.

This third film by Jose Mojica Marins to feature his character "Coffin Joe," AWAKENING OF THE BEAST is a fictional document of the drug craze and its relation to the increase of perversity among young people in the 1960s. In vignette after vignette, everyone from hippies to starlets prove to the conservative and adult establishment that they are riding a wave of depravity. Four of these degenerates are plucked out to take place in Coffin Joe's LSD experiment, and soon they find their terror is all too real.
"Awakening of the Beast" is a deliriously psychedelic nightmare about the rise of drug use and perversion among the youth of the nation. In a series of increasingly bizarre vignettes we see all manner of depravity, from a group of finger-sniffing hippies to a lecherous movie producer seducing a young starlet. Four drug addicts are chosen out of this ...
