V/Search, 1982
Dr. Timothy Leary's Favorite Photo of Burroughs
+ Life Changing + Re/Search#4/5 a review
The W.S. Burroughs photo in this issue was the late Dr. Timothy's favorite of Bill Burroughs--the great one with the gun in his hand. This alone is worth the price. Great photo, especially with the interview of Burroughs and the part about the murder of wife Joan in Mexico City. "There are no ...

Pollock 106 reviews Tom Bower, Jennifer Connelly
Sony Pictures, 2001
Art minus hollywood frills
+ Tormented soul and a brilliant talent + Best DVD Commentary Remark Ever
There is no simple way to label this film any more than there is a an easy way to describe its subject. Pollock was a fascinating person and the movie does an excellent job in describing how his paintings evolved. It's educational, in fact, gloriously so, but the film goes so much farther than ...

+ Not What You Think but a Gem Anyways
This is a superb biography of Israel Regardie who is responsible for great Occult classics such as 'A garden of Pomegranates', 'The Tree of Life' and countless others. The question you need ask yourself is, are you a Freud person or a Jung person? I was always a Jung person and so from an Esoteric ...

The Last Time I Committed Suicide 22 reviews Thomas Jane, Keanu Reeves
Universal Studios, 2005
one that slipped through the cracks
+ This isn't the last time he'll commit suicide + This movie is perfect for the restless.
It seems that this movie can only be appreciated by fans of beat literature. If you happen to be one, or are curious about the beats, this is a fantastic movie. The movie is a dramatization of a letter that Neal Cassidy, the muse of the beat generation, wrote his famous pal, Jack Kerouac. The film ...

Factotum - How Could Any Bukowski Fan Not Love This Movie?
+ Excellent film, great acting, very good direction
Factotum is a great, though perhaps difficult to swallow movie. Granted, there seems to have been a mixed reaction to this movie. Yet Bukowski himself elicited mixed reactions, from his work and personal life alike. So it comes as no surprise to me. What does surprise me is to hear many ...
