"Burn After Reading"
The newest film by the legendary Coen Brothers. Hilarious, irreverent and basically a practical joke upon the viewer, Burn After Reading is the antithesis of the heavy duty No Country for Old Men. Watch as some of contemporary film's greatest actors take a turn towards comedy and constantly try to one-up each other.
"The Fall"
Videorama's most successful recommendation, enjoyed by 9 out of 10 people that we recommend it to. Extraordinary visuals and a fascinating narrative style make this adult themed fantasy stick with you days after you've finished it. Sort of a cross between Pan's Labyrinth and The Princess Bride.
"Mad Men - Season 1"
Is this 1960's Madison Avenue advertising period piece historically accurate? Who cares, it's entertainment! See the sixties re-imagined with dramatic license into the most complex and rich television series since the early days of The Sopranos. Hilarious at points, soul crushingly depressing at others, Mad Men is fantastic. Come on in and see what all the hype is about.
OLDSIES...
"Sunset Blvd."
Legendary director Billy Wilder's greatest film and often referred to as the best movie about tinseltown ever made. Is it a dark comedy? Is it film noir? Is it a creepy tragedy? Crisp black and white photography combine with a stainless steel script in this story of glory long faded
"Casino Royale"
Blonde James Bond? For realsies? Definitely for realsies. Layer Cake's Daniel Craig shines as the hardest and toughest version of the famous super-spy in a style very similar to that of the Bourne films. Easily the closest incarnation of Bond to Ian Flemming's original novels.
"Flannel Pajamas"
A beautiful, simple love story that chronicles the rises and falls of a young relationship in New York City. Truly an independent film, Flannel Pajamas was shot on 16mm and is one of the best sleeper films of 2006. Weeds' Justin Kirk (who plays Andy on the series) shows he's just as adept with serious fare as he is with comedies.
