Blue Velvet
Gregory J. Smalley @ 366 Weird Movies

Recent Home Video Releases
Barbary Coast
Stacia Kissick Jones @ She Blogged By Night
Goodfellas

Other Reviews from 2012 and earlier
Black Zoo
Dennis Schwartz @ Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Cotton Comes to Harlem (1970)
Jordan Richardson @ Canadian Cinephile
- Excerpt: Still relevant and still more than “black enough,” Cotton Comes to Harlem is a genre must-see for fans of 1970s cinema.
Sorcerer
Roderick Heath @ Ferdy on Films
- Excerpt: Both Sorcerer’s initial failure and slow rehabilitation probably stem equally from the film’s specific and spiky nature, a thrilling adventure film that is nonetheless notably defined by a downbeat attitude.
