1.Men With Guns starring: Federico Luppi, Damián Delgado, Dan Rivera González, Tania Cruz, Damián Alcázar directed by: John Sayles August 25, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $13.00
As the Peruvian's review indicates, there are certainly Latin Americans who don't want to face part of their political reality, just as there are US citizens who like to deny or rationalize the violence of the United States of North America. The "Indian Wars" of the US empire continue as this film on the oppression of Guatemalan Mayan Indians reveals. While President Clinton did offer a near-apology for our decades of funding and organizing Guatemala's dirty war that killed 200,000 people, our corporatocracy continues to exploit the region and to wage economic warfare via NAFTA, CAFTA and the World Bank. "Men With Guns" beautifully shows all who care the sort of brutal madness that has been taking place in Central America. I've shared this film with Guatemalan immigrants I know, and ... Read More

I am of the West of Ireland where the Silkies live side-by-side with ondines and cluricauns and other assorted members of Yeats' Sidhe. A movie well worth the watch.

... the Boss? Well, just cue up the track Fire, wait a few minutes and, if you still have any questions, ask any woman in the room...

Good who done it soap with good cast, script and plot. A little bit of everything from a little Texas town just north of the Rio Grande...plus the kitchen sink. John Wayne movies were never like this!

Lost in the glare of Michael Moore's 2004 pseudo-documentary Fahrenheit 911 was independent filmmaker John Sayles' far more incisive filmic take on politics called Silver City. While Moore's film was a frontal assault on the George W. Bush administration, Sayles' film was less a jab at Right Wing politics, although it clearly was, and more an assault on the sliminess of politics in general. I was surprised at how good the film was, considering all the negative reviews it got from critics. Is it a great film, in league with Sayles' best? No. But it's light years beyond typical Hollywood fare- especially bigger budgeted films like the Clinton era's Wag The Dog. The film it most resembles is Roman Polanski's Chinatown, although set in contemporary Colorado, and this film having a lighter feel- in terms ... Read More

7.Baby It's You (1983) starring: Rosanna Arquette, Vincent Spano, Joanna Merlin, Jack Davidson, Nick Ferrari directed by: John Sayles April 24, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.99
I absolutely love this movie. I saw it when it first came out and I fell in love with Vincent Spano. The chemistry between the two characters is believable as well as the storyline. I thought is clever how you never really new much about "The Sheik" but what you did know, made him likeable. I found myself routing for them to be together in the end. I highly recommend it. It definately was the sleeper of its time.

8.Limbo starring: David Strathairn, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, Vanessa Martinez, Hermínio Ramos, Kris Kristofferson directed by: John Sayles June 13, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.87
God love and protect John Sayles. Not because he hits every ball out of the park, because he clearly doesn't; but because he never lets his few strikeouts compel him to try to hit a five-run homer the next time out. In an era marked by increasingly degraded and degrading notions of "entertainment" and "storytelling" - for pity's sake, as I write this, grown adults are waxing rhapsodic over a movie about a costumed billionaire-vigilante (!!) - Sayles understands that great drama is about the people we meet every day; the places we live in and how they shape us; the things that change, and the things that remain; and above all, about the human heart in conflict with itself. In LIMBO, he takes risks with his zig-zagging narrative most filmmakers simply aren't capable of, and reaps rewards of such profundity, and ... Read More
