RiP: A Remix Manifesto (,  Unrated)
RiP: A Remix Manifesto
A rather one sided look at the copyright problem, but a good conversation starter. Bold sense of personality comes through the editing and narration. Download it at http://ripremix.com

Welcome to Macintosh (2008,  Unrated)
Welcome to Macintosh
Lots of talking heads sharing their love for Macintosh. The historical aspect was interesting, and there's one packrat whose collection is freaking scary. Could have used more points of view. Plus, they interviewed the editor of Pirates of Silicon Valley, but he hardly talked about it!

Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me (1992,  Unrated)
Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me
Uneven, but at times fascinating. The DVD has a rather unconventional featurette -- suitably Lynchian in its nonlinear approach.

Repo! The Genetic Opera (2008,  R)
Repo! The Genetic Opera
Somehow, watching it at home wasn't as much fun as seeing it with a sold out crowd in Toronto. It was harder to overlook the awkward lyrics and delivery. Still gets points for design, camp, and audacity.

The Doors (1991,  R)
The Doors
Val Kilmer's signature role -- perfectly cast. I like the way The Doors songs are used as source music and soundtrack, sometimes in the same scene. Some of the concert montage sequences can stand alone as their own mini-movies. On the down side, some of the 90s filmmaking style seems a bit dated now, and I found myself distracted by the wigs and fake beards.
