The Big Lebowski, a casually amusing follow-up from the prolifically inventive Coen brothers (Ethan and Joel), seems like a bit of a lark and the result was a box-office disappointment. It's lazy plot is part of its laidback charm. After all, how many movies can claim as their hero a pot-bellied, pot-smoking loser named Jeff "The Dude" Lebowski (Jeff Bridges) who spends most of his time bowling and getting stoned? And where else could you find a hair-netted Latino bowler named Jesus (John Turturro) who sports dazzling purple footgear, or an erotic artist (Julianne Moore) whose creativity consists of covering her naked body in paint, flying through the air in a leather harness, and splatting herself against a giant canvas? Who else but the Coens would think of showing you a camera view from inside the holes of a bowling ball, or an elaborate Busby Berkely-styled musical dream sequence involving a Viking goddess and giant bowling pins? The plot--which finds Lebowski involved in a kidnapping scheme after he's mistaken for a rich guy with the same name--is almost beside the point. What counts here is a steady cascade of hilarious dialogue, great work from Coen regulars John Goodman and Steve Buscemi, and the kind of cinematic ingenuity that puts the Coens in a class all their own. --Jeff Shannon
The characters in The Wild Thornberrys Movie are well-defined and delightful; the well-written script zips along and the animation is visually dynamic. This charming movie version of the Nickelodeon cartoon centres on Eliza, the youngest daughter of the Thornberry family. Her parents, Nigel and Marianne, travel the world to create nature programmes for television. But Eliza, thanks to a mystical encounter, has the power to talk to animals--a power that leads her on the hunt for poachers in Africa who have captured a baby cheetah. Eliza's best friend, a chimpanzee named Darwin, is along for the ride, while her resentful teenage sister Debbie is trying to bring her back to their parents. All in all, this is an excellent animated feature featuring the voices of Tim Curry, Lacey Chabert, Rupert Everett, Marisa Tomei, Alfred Woodard and Lynn Redgrave. --Bret Fetzer
""Sometimes there's a man well he's the man for his time and place. He fits right in there. And that's the Dude. The Dude from Los Angeles. And even if he's a lazy man - and the Dude was most certainly that. Quite possibly the laziest in all of Los Angeles County which would place him high in the runnin' for laziest worldwide. Sometimes there's a man sometimes there's a man. Well I lost my train of thought here. But... aw hell. I've done introduced it enough."" - The Str

101 Films presents Penelope Spheeris' searing drama Suburbia (1983), title 021 on the 101 Films Black Label. Starring real-life punks rather than trained actors, and featuring live performances from punk bands D.I., T.S.O.L. and the Vandals, Suburbia is an authentic and compassionate study of the Los Angeles punk rock scene in the early 1980s, and a bleak indictment of the American suburban experiment.

They fall in with The Rejected (aka T.R.), a group of punks who live as squatters in an abandoned shack by the side of the highway. With the T.R.s, the boys find a new family. But their new family will be tested when they become the target of Citizens Against Crime, a group of unhappy suburbanites.

""Who is Nardwuar you ask?"" That is an interesting question! For that we will turn you over to noted Nardwuarologist Dave Watson . 'Only Vancouver B.C. Canada could produce a media personality like Nardwuar the Human Serviette and allow him to thrive. He's unique: annoying insightful relentlessly probing and above all daring. His moniker comes from a complicated afternoon of juvenile goofing around. His fame comes from many things-hosting a radio how on UBC's campus radio station CiTR his appearances on MuchMusic writing for Chart Razorcake Roctober and Flipside magazines starting his own record label while in his teens his endless advocacy for gritty underground garage-rock bands like Tacoma's Sonics Neil Young's early combo the Squires Germany's Monks and our own Subhumans plus his devotion to promoting all-ages concerts when no one else in town could be bothered. Oh yeah he's a performer too with The Evaporators and Thee Goblins. He also survived a brain hemorrhage at the age of 30--you have to give him points for that. But what has made Nardwuar really famous--notorious even--are his interviews of celebrities and politicians. He has a way of thinking up unusual questions and the fearlessness to ask them even if he knows it'll get him thrown out of the room. And yet he's not an instigator or some kind of put-on character designed to irritate people. He really is that guy incredibly earnest and enthusiastic like somebody's kid brother after you feed him way too much candy.' 5 1/2 hours of Interviews on 2 DVDs
