GreenCine, the #1 alternative online DVD rental, video-on-demand and DivX service, now has a blog devoted to its press coverage, marketing efforts, events, releases and newsletter. The blog is called Pravda. Enjoy.
We bid April, and the rain that came with it, adieu in this week's edition of the GreenCine Dispatch newsletter.
#130 | April 25, 2006
"Somehow I've become very cautious. When I put on a raincoat, I put on sunglasses too. Who knows when it will rain, or when it will turn out sunny?" -- Chungking Express.
Elevator to the Gallows (1957; two discs, $31.87). Notes Melissa Anderson in the Village Voice: "It's precisely Louis Malle's omnivorous appetite that makes his first feature, adapted from a policier, so delectable, one stuffed with many sumptuous sights and sounds: gorgeous nighttime shots of Paris lensed by Henri Decaë, Miles Davis's [fantastic - ed.] largely improvised score, the nail-biting breakout from the titular lift, and Jeanne Moreau, in the role that would make her a star."
From the mesmerizing opening shots to the haunting finale, Julio Medem's Lovers of the Artic Circle (1998; $14.75) will have you in its thrall. Crossing back and forth in time seamlessly, the film traces the love story of two step-siblings who are seemingly pre-destined for each other. The love story is beautiful... read the rest here.
Now available via Video-on-Demand: 24 Hours on Craigslist, Michael Ferris Gibson's documentary capturing "the ultimate people zoo" (Film Threat), the online community that's spread like wildfire over the last few years. "It’s an absolute blast to watch as all walks of life are represented here and all interests, no matter how off-center, are shared" (Film Threat again). And now you can watch 24 Hours on Craiglist any hour of the day you please, via GreenCine VOD ($3.99-$4.99).
A lot of good stuff highlighting this week's new releases, including two restored classics:
Match Point (2005; $21.76). "My head is still spinning," wrote A.O. Scott from Cannes '05, in one of the early experiments with blogging at the New York Times. "A truly shocking thing happened this morning. I saw a really good Woody Allen movie." Though there would be dissenters, for the most part, the plaudits would continue to pour in throughout the sleak thriller's slow roll-out on through the year.
"Michelangelo Antonioni's The Passenger (1975; $19.95), that cinematic Rip Van Winkle, is stirring from its rest." So begins a wonderful piece by Robert Koehler in Cinema Scope. "Only such a mysterious film deserves such mysterious treatment: out of nowhere, sometime in the middle of the 80s, it was gone; now, out of nowhere, it's back." With, of course, Jack Nicholson and Maria Schneider.
New Anime: Karas: The Prophecy (2005; $15.45). "The nonlinear storytelling, deeply mysterious plot and imagery that's chock full of beautiful water and light effects make each scene so fascinating it's almost impossible to tear yourself away," writes Newtype USA.
"It's too early to start coining the term 'T-Horror,' but Taiwanese scarefest The Heirloom could kick-start a whole new subdivision of Asian psychodramas along with its established Japanese and South Korean cousins," wrote Derek Elley in Variety last fall. Jonathan Marlow talks with young director Leste Chen about his groundbreaking feature and his admiration for Kim Ji-woon and Iwai Shunji.
Also: "Crossing Borders with Eran Riklis," an interview with the director of the film The Syrian Bride [out on DVD June 6]. And coming soon: an engaging interview with the screenwriters of Aeon Flux.
This week on our award-winning and ever-voluminous film blog, GreenCine Daily: reports from the San Francisco International Film Festival, Tribeca and Udine, as well as the first summer previews and much more.
After signing a groundbreaking licensing agreement with Zealot Pictures and Heretic Films, we're proud that the aforementioned 24 Hours on Craigslist makes GreenCine the first vendor to simultaneously offer a film for purchase, Rent-by-Mail and On-Demand the same day the film is made available on DVD. Read the whole announcement here.
Speaking of Tartan, drop by our home page for a brand new trivia contest in which we're giving away copies of three Tartan films: The Heirloom, Pray and Natural City. The deadline is Thursday, so hurry!
Our next screening at San Francisco's Yerba Buena Center for the Arts will be on Wednesday, June 7 as we proudly present René Clément's And Hope to Die. More details to follow in forthcoming issues of the Dispatch.

This announcement marks a milestone for filmmakers, content owners and distributors as they now have three distinct, concurrent revenue streams for their films. An ideal format for independent and smaller films, GreenCine’s system fully maximizes the publicity created by the DVD release and pushes the film to larger audiences. While pure-play vendors are only able to reach one type of audience, GreenCine is able to attract and service all film enthusiasts, regardless of whether they prefer to buy, rent or download.
“Day-and-Date is something that we’ve been contemplating for some time and this really seemed like the right film, right time and perfect company to launch with,” said Michael Ferris Gibson, acclaimed director of 24 Hours on Craigslist and Numb. “We chose to bring 24 Hours on Craigslist to market with GreenCine because we wanted a partner that understood the nuances of the film watching community and was positioned to reach all of them. This kind of release method represents the future of the industry and GreenCine is at the forefront of that revolution.”
“From a strategic and tactical standpoint, essentially everything we’ve done over the last two years has been leading up to this announcement,” said Jonathan Marlow, GreenCine’s director of content acquisitions and business development. “Our customers trust that we will always champion and promote the best available films and we trust our audience to keep us informed of their likes and dislikes of the films that we acquire. Our belief that this system is a natural evolution of film distribution is strengthened by the repeated requests for an array of viewing options from our customers.”
While this is the first Day-and-Date release that GreenCine has offered its customers, its library contains thousands of titles that are available in all three formats.

About 24 Hours on Craigslist
24 Hours on Craigslist is an honest expose of a day in the life of the Craigslist community in the city where it all started: San Francisco. Filmed entirely from user posts, the documentary provides a glimpse of the variety and breadth of the experiences of the website’s users. Eight film crews, also found through a single post on Craigslist, were sent to film 121 different stories posted on August 4, 2003. The film remains true as possible to the sensible, grassroots nature of Craigslist and its non-commercial approach to providing individuals with a voice into their community from their advertisements placed on the web site.
24 Hours on Craigslist has screened at several independent and international film festival including SXSW and the San Francisco Independent Film Festival. The film was also presented with the Golden Toof Award for Best Documentary Feature at the Toofy Film Festival.

The VOD Trailblazer: An Interview with Jonathan Marlow
Marlow was recently interviewed by Daniel Nemet-Nejat about the secrets of indie film distribution and GreenCine's plans for its VOD service.
GreenCine has cemented itself as a staple of the indie film scene. Its blog, the GreenCine Daily, is required reading. Its VOD service defines itself by offering independent and international cinema that is previously unreleased in the United States. Offering non-exclusive deals to filmmakers, GreenCine provides a cost-efficient ways for indie filmmakers to reach an audience. There are surely more lucrative ways to survive and thrive in world of online distribution, but the folks at GreenCine believe they are fulfilling a purpose by allowing these unique voices to be heard.
Jonathan Marlow, GreenCine’s direct of content acquisitions and business development is, in my humble opinion, one of the more forward thinking dudes, in the biz. He sees online technology as a constant and growing source of opportunity—be it VOD, set top boxes, a VOD/DVD hybrid release—for indie filmmakers to reach audiences. I had the opportunity to pick his brain, appropriately via email, about the future of VOD for indie filmmakers and what lies ahead for GreenCine. Below is the transcript. His comments are untouched. Only my long-winded questions have been mercifully cut down.
There are probably more lucrative ways for GreenCine, but you remain committed to indie films. Where does this sense of mission come from?
We have always championed the work of lesser-known filmmakers. In part, this is a reflection of our own interests. We are simply more attracted to these films than the majority of movies that find their way to the multiplex. There is also a larger strategy at work. With our virtually unlimited shelf-space, we can feature titles that bricks-and-mortar locations are unable to offer. I suspect that it is natural for GreenCine to gravitate to these films versus the movies that are available everywhere. Did we choose the independent route or did it choose us? In a sense, the answer can be found somewhere in-between.
You've survived Tax Day (we hope) so what better way to relax than to curl up with the latest edition of the GreenCine Dispatch newsletter. This week we've got a tip about our new article on Movie Box Sets, and a lot more.
#129 | April 18, 2006
"Nature has a way sometimes of reminding Man of just how small he is. She occasionally throws up terrible offsprings of our pride and carelessness to remind us of how puny we really are in the face of a tornado, an earthquake, or a Godzilla." -- Raymond Burr, in Godzilla '85.
Member lists are one of the most important components of GreenCine's community. These are a great way of pointing your fellow GreenCiners to movies they may have missed, or coming up with a list around a specific theme. If you think your list-making needs some help, don't fret: We've got a few pointers on making a member list all it can be.
There are a ton of great (and some not so great) films set in San Francisco, but inarguably one of the greatest is Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo ($16.95), likely the master director's most debated and analyzed film. Featuring one of Jimmy Stewart's finest - and most anguished - performances (the way he says "you were a very apt pupil" still creeps us out), the film is one mystery wrapped inside another, a brilliant... read the rest here.
From the GreenCine archives and available via Video-on-Demand, come several historic film compilations perfect for commemorating the 100th anniversary of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. The Silent History of San Francisco collection includes "Edison Newsreels: San Francisco Earthquake Aftermath" and "San Francisco Oakland Bay Bridge Groundbreaking."
The highlights of this week's new releases include a cinephile's dream set and several British delights:
Breakfast on Pluto is "an exhilarating work, featuring an extraordinary performance by Cillian Murphy as Patrick 'Kitten' Braden" wrote Salon's Andrew O'Hehir. Read our interview with director Neil Jordan, too. (2005; $19.96)
Mrs. Henderson Presents. "The ever-dependable Stephen Frears, who brought his Dirty Pretty Things to Toronto three years ago, returns with another keeper," wrote Michael Rechtshaffen for the Hollywood Reporter. (2005; $21.04)
The Complete Mr. Arkadin (1955; $34.95). Criterion releases more than just a crisp new transfer of three versions of one of Orson Welles' most enigmatic works (which is saying quite a lot), but a package devoted to the mysteries of the film, complete with audio commentary by Jonathan Rosenbaum and James Naremore, interviews with Welles biographer Simon Callow, star Robert Arden, radio producer Harry Alan Towers, director Peter Bogdanovich, and film archivists Stephan Droessler and Claude Bertemes, a doc on the film, three episodes of The Lives of Harry Lime, on which the film is based, plus outtakes, rushes, alternate scenes and so on and so on and so on.
New Anime: Ultra Maniac Volume 7: Magical Ending (2006). "Has everything a magical girl fan could want: lots of magic, transformation scenes, an animal companion who can talk and change form, cute guys, amusingly awkward situations involving said cute guys, a cute costume idea for cosplay, and even the stereotypical obsessive geeky character," says the Anime News Network.
Now that the sun's out here, it's a perfect time to put on shorts - or in the case of our award-winning film blog, GreenCine Daily, a lot of shorts. Our wrap-ups of all things film includes a new entry today.
On the GreenCine home page this week, we commemorate the Centennial anniversary of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake with films (and links to even more films) set in the city by the bay. That and a whole bunch of movie box sets, in honor of the aforementioned article, make our home page the perfect place to procrastinate at work.
The GreenCine member list of the week: dydeth's San Francisco movies list, of course. So, "don't let a stranger wait outside your door, San Francisco, here is your wandering one..."
Our next screening at San Francisco's Yerba Buena Center for the Arts will be on Wednesday, June 7 as we proudly present René Clément's And Hope to Die. More details to follow in forthcoming issues of the Dispatch.

"Even businessmen, who rob and cheat and steal from people everyday, even they have to pay taxes." -- It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World.
DVDs skipping on you or getting stuck? We've added to our FAQ a bit of helpful information on cleaning discs. You might even want to clip n' save it for future reference.
Before his international arthouse hit The Draughtsman's Contract, Peter Greenaway made a series of extremely inventive and witty short films that are thankfully now encapsulated on two DVDs in Greenaway: The Early Films. Perhaps most memorable is the pseudo-doc The Falls, and a journey to the afterlife in A Walk Through H (on Shorts). All these films serve as a great intro to Greenaway's cinematic artistry.

Scott Coffey's Ellie Parker is a tour de force for Naomi Watts, and also likely a more realistic depiction of life in Los Angeles than Crash. If nothing else, it's certainly funnier. Watts gives the role all she's got and is the main reason to see the film; she's bare, raw, funny, pathetic, lovable, self-centered, and a little bit mad - in short, perfectly... read the rest here.

With the alternate history mockumentary The CSA now making the rounds nationally, it's a good time to revisit another similar film, available on GreenCine via Video-on-Demand. Sean Meredith's In Smog and Thunder chronicles a fictional war between Los Angeles and San Francisco. The San Jose Mercury News called the film "Hilarious...A dead-on send-up of historical documentary a la Ken Burns."
This week's new releases are all over the map (including two from down under), with something for every taste:
Little Fish (2005; $17.76). "An Aussie addiction drama with a splash of crime thriller thrown in, Little Fish boasts strong performances from the Southern Continent's acting A-list," wrote Leo Goldsmith in the Village Voice just this February. "Cate Blanchett is characteristically mesmerizing as Tracy, a thirtysomething video store clerk trying to escape her junkie rap sheet and a lousy credit rating." Also featuring Hugo Weaving, superb as usual, and Sam Neill, in a change of pace.
"Wolf Creek (2005; $21.76) is a swaggeringly nasty, self-assured piece of ordeal horror set in the Australian outback," writes Peter Bradshaw in the Guardian. "With nods to Duel and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, first- time writer-director Greg McLean shows the neo-goreheads from the US and UK how it ought to be done."
The Fantastic World of M.C. Escher (2000; $14.00). "I could fill an entire second life with working on my prints," M.C. Escher once said. And some of us could spend just as long getting lost in them. This doc includes interviews with his friends and with mathematicians, computer animated recreations of his work, and a look at his sources of inspiration in Italy and Spain.
New Anime: Tenjo Tenge Round 06 (2005; $16.99) After watching Round 03, Carlos Santos for the Anime News Network wrote, "Make no mistake: the series is still very much about eye-candy fights and eye-candy fanservice, but unlike other anime of its kind, it's got a serious story to tell."
Coming soon: We take a look at some of the best movie box sets out there.
If this Dispatch isn't enough for you, our award-winning film blog, GreenCine Daily, is full of dispatches from festivals across the world - from Hong Kong, Seoul, Durham and Portland.
Congrats to the lucky winners of our 2005 World Series Collector's Edition trivia contest: Dftpnk, DGray and Dougallc (the answer was Jermaine Dye). The winners of our Beastie Boys trivia contest will be announced next week.
Thanks to all who came to our screening of Blind Beast vs. Killer Dwarf last week at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco. We'll announce more screenings soon, although we'll take a bit of a break in May (so as to not conflict with the San Francisco International Film Festival).

GreenCine's Jonathan Marlow to participate in panel / introduce film at Northwest Film Forum
What is the ultimate purpose of the filmmaker, to try and make a masterpiece or try to make money? Sadly those two pursuits are rarely the same and is a conundrum that every filmmaker will face at some point. While it may be an impossible question to answer, Jonathan Marlow and a panel of others including Annie Wagner (film editor, The Stranger), Karl Krogstad (filmmaker, host and creator of AMERICAN AVANT GARDE), Sue Corcoran (filmmaker), Adam Sekuler (program director, NWFF) will give it a shot.
In other Marlow and NWFF news
On Friday, April 14 Jonathan will be on hand to introduce Innocence, a French film about an all-female boarding school that was his #1 film of 2005.
GreenCine's Video-on-Demand service featured in Zoom In Newsletter
GreenCine's Jonathan Marlow discusses the benefits, history and future of GreenCine's VOD service (as well as some thoughts on the current state and future of the industry) in a recent interview in the Zoom In newsletter.
A quick sample:
Q. Why are DVD rental customers drawn to your site over Netflix, Blockbuster, or Walmart?
A. According to our customers, it is our selection (which, while slightly smaller than some of our competitors, is better focused on our areas of interest- independent, international, documentary, esoterica- and includes thousands of titles not available at other services). They also appreciate our articles, interviews and primers, which allow for the discovery of little-known films. Wal-Mart, furthermore, is no longer in the Rent-by-Mail space – we outlasted them (and about fifty other nascent Rent-by-Mail services).
Q. Do you premiere films on VOD? If so, how have they done?
A. A number of films, after ending their festival life, have surfaced on GreenCine. Generally, they perform quite well; several rank among the best-performing titles that we have. Given that they are unavailable elsewhere, this is not surprising. One of the initial reasons for introducing our Video-on-Demand service was to create a low-risk, low-cost avenue for film distribution, allowing well-known and unknown films to compete equally for the attention of potential viewers. In that way, we quickly increased our selection by offering titles that were not available in any format. This has allowed a number of rights-holders to make their films available without the investment of replicating thousands of DVDs.
GreenCine's Jonathan Marlow part of panel at Sonona Valley Film Festival
The ever busy Jonathan Marlow participated in a panel discussion at the Sonoma Valley Film Festival (SVFF) today about new distribution technologies and how they affect the independent filmmaker. Joining him on the panel were Marisa Keselica (VP, Theatrical Sales, Wellspring), Ted Sarandos (Chief Content Officer, Netflix), Houston King (Goodbye Cruel Releasing), and indpendent filmmaker and GreenCine friend Caveh Zahedi (the recently released I Am a Sex Addict).
No filmmaker is more intelligent and articulate about his own work, and his creative process, than David Cronenberg, whose "A History of Violence" was one of 2005's best films and one of 2006's top DVDs. I've interviewed him several times (for "Dead Ringers," "Naked Lunch," "Crash") and I always find the experience of talking with him enlightening and inspiring. Some great directors either don't want to, or don't know how to, talk about their work, but not Cronenberg.
David D'Arcy has a typically invigorating interview with him on GreenCine.com, in which Cronenberg examines the various kinds of censorship that spell death for an artist.
We welcome in the month of April with another handy overview of what's happening on GreenCine.
#127 | April 4, 2006
"I am so lucky - I was born on April 4th 1944. That's 4.4.44, if you add that up it comes to 16: 1-6, one plus six is seven: luckiest number of all."
"You know your math."
"It's more than math Mike, it's... immaculate perfection!" -- My Own Private Idaho.
Did we mention that we offer free priority shipping for all DVD purchases over $50 made on GreenCine? If we did, you might still want to check out our lively home page - there you can become mesmerized by our various cinematically-influenced graphics promoting this offer.
Undeclared came from the creators of Freaks and Geeks, and was similarly given the shaft by its network, despite critical praise and a quickly developing cult following. It lasted but one season, but if it's any comfort, that makes it easier to own the entirety of this amusing series about college life on DVD. Fans of F&G will... read the rest here.

Andrei Tarkovsky's masterful Stalker is one of the most visually evocative films you'll ever see, and intellectual in the best sense of the word. As Philip French wrote in the Guardian (U.K.), the film "resembles The Wizard of Oz adapted by a disciple of Dostoevsky and Kafka." While some may find it a little slow, it's ultimately rewarding, and will stay with you long afterwards.
The film that has become the master work in Italian horror maestro Dario Argento's canon, Deep Red holds up brilliantly despite the plethora of copycat slasher films it inspired in the years to follow. Read Cheryl Eddy's Italian Horror primer, and then watch Deep Red via video-on-demand anytime you wish.
This week's fine batch of new releases feature some mighty high profile titles, and a couple that deserve a wider audience:
First, take a look at these awards. Pretty impressive, isn't it. And yet, as we all know, Brokeback Mountain didn't receive the one accolade just about anyone would have bet their boots it'd get. But never mind the Academy. That the film was able to pierce through its reductive reputation as the "gay cowboy movie" and find its widely ranging audiences throughout the country is a testament to its universal emotional power. (By the way, we're selling this film for only $20.95!)
Speaking of which: A new Director's Cut for Crash is out today as well. Might be worth a watch if you're still not decided which side of the fence you fall on.
The President's Last Bang (2005). From Im Sang-soo comes "one of the most controversial films out of South Korea in some time," notes Filmbrain, "a political satire that easily ranks among the best of the genre [and] an unabashedly leftist take on a dark period in Korea's history."
What the heck is "pre-code" film, is a question we're often asked here. Now we have a great way of answering it: a new primer on Pre-Code Hollywood by Mick LaSalle, author of the books "Complicated Women: Sex and Power in pre-Code Hollywood" and "Dangerous Men: Pre-Code Hollywood and the Birth of the Modern Man." (He was also the Associate Producer and a co-author of TCM's "Complicated Women" documentary.)
Our award-winning film blog, GreenCine Daily, is up and at 'em, with hearty collections of interviews, arts coverage, festival coverage and plenty o'shorts (no relation to Plenty O'Toole). And fresh today: a review of Caveh Zahedi's new film, I Am a Sex Addict, and a dispatch from Hong Kong.
Our genre
of the week: Pre-Code Film. These films were the first of the sound-era, and were made before the puritanical Hays Code really kicked in, forcing movies to become more chaste (though in many cases, dialogue certainly became more subtextually sexual). But in the early 30s, there was Jean Harlow and Barbara Stanwyck and early Gary Cooper, and edgy films as wide-ranging as the 1931 version of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Cagney's unforgettable Public Enemy, to the all-star-laden Grand Hotel. As more of these films start making their way to DVD, you'll want to keep checking back in this section, too.
The GreenCine member list of the
week: Play ball, with CPurvis's Baseball Films on DVD. A good scorecard to review between innings. And speaking of baseball, stop by our home page to check out our latest trivia contest, as we're giving away a set of the 2005 Series World Series Collector's Edition.
