I'm glad Criterion chose this as one of there releases, otherwise I probably wouldn't have ever had the opportunity to check it out. And it's awesome that we have people like Tarantino, true filmgeeks who make us aware of hidden gems we might not have ever come across otherwise. <br /><br />Jack: Dude, you "HAVE" to see it. It's a great thriller in general, but for hardcore filmgeeks like us, it's just plain brilliant. De Palma has changed his style over the last decade, but I enjoy his early work more than anything. It was much more specific back then. You could just tell what was a "Brian De Palma" film back then, even all the way up to The Untouchables. The late 70's to mid 80's was his best output. But definitely give Blow Out a shot. Can't wait to get your take on it. <br /><br />Hellford667: I'm telling you! For such an incredible film, MGM gave it such a shitty cover. I mean, you can't get any kind of information from that stupid cover. It looked like something a high school kid came up with in art class. So glad Criterion picked up the slack and did the film justice with that rad cover. That cover alone says a lot.robotGEEKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00355070295108163031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959025705353546660.post-27175078364871323582011-12-23T07:51:40.523-08:002011-12-23T07:51:40.523-08:00I have seen this quite a few years ago, maybe even...I have seen this quite a few years ago, maybe even just on tv...but I agree, its a great film...and hell, I remember that damn bad cover artwork...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959025705353546660.post-30239009380658818172011-12-23T01:50:14.364-08:002011-12-23T01:50:14.364-08:00Never watched this but your review's made me i...Never watched this but your review's made me interested in picking it up.

One of the best releases of the past year or so. I think it has started to become more well known since Tarantino said it was one of his favourite movies.A hero never dieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13075070081480449104noreply@blogger.com
