The Keep??? by Superflyfox	Jan 30th, 2007 06:26:41 PM
I've been waiting to see that film for eons......... and they end up releasing shite instead. WTF?
Had this on VHS many years ago... by Onomaki Forp	Jan 30th, 2007 06:34:23 PM
...very glad to see DVD at last. Very good film about one's life informed by cinema, in need of human companionship, lengths to which one can go to keep companionship. Similar to "Fade to Black", or even "The Talented Mr. Ripley"

ZOMG!
I remember not liking this film.. by BigTuna	Jan 30th, 2007 07:21:43 PM
But I was very young and it was years ago on VHS. It got great reviews, but was hard to find. Didn't live up to the hype for me but I gotta give it 1 more chance.
What Mori Choo-Choo-Chooses Not To Mention by georges garvaren	Jan 30th, 2007 08:03:54 PM
is the unrelenting feeling the film imposes on its audience; after twenty minutes you know that some incredible twist of The Insane is just around the corner, but you don’t know which corner. Oh, and it’s funny; especially the more times you see it. I would say that Apartment Zero is the funniest film since 2001: A Space Odyssey (in a like minded comparison sort of way thingy-mer-jig. Ya dig?)
I'm a fanatic for this movie by Das UberMan!	Jan 30th, 2007 08:08:38 PM
I'm ecstatic. This is one of my all time favorite movies. I've been obsessed with the U.S. role in Argentina's "Dirty War" every since I saw this movie nearly 20 years ago. (For those of you among the vast majority of Americans who have never heard this: We did and/or supported some very bad things in the 70s in Argentina.) This movie is disturbing and shows an American psycho more authentically than "American Psycho" did. Btw, it was Colin Firth's first big role.
Who Cares ? by Donnie_Drunko	Jan 30th, 2007 08:23:15 PM
Honestly Who cares about Apartment Zero when the king of all movies came out on DVD today. All Hail The Greatness of GYMKATA!!!!!!!
This movie is like a fevered dream... by Mr.Stiggs	Jan 30th, 2007 08:28:19 PM
I saw this on vhs about 16 years ago. I remember almost nothing of the plot yet I have intense feelings that I really enjoyed this film. I've lost count of how many people I've asked over the years "Have you seen Apartment Zero". I've never met one person who admits to even knowing that this film exists. Even the girl I watched it with says she doesn't remember the film at all. I actually started to think that I didn't really see it but just read about it in some film journal or magazine. Nice to know it's out there and I'm not crazy (well...). Hope it holds up.

Essentially, the U.S. government, at the behest of Henry Kissinger, overthrew Salvador Allende and installed dictator Augusto Pinochet, killing scores of people in the immediate aftermath and terrorizing many more in the proceeding decades. On another note, I've been waiting ages for "Apartment Zero" on DVD. Very well-written, with clever dashes of dark humor and a very intriguing homosexual subtext.
I Just Got Off The Phone With Hart Bochner... by Darth Fabulous	Jan 30th, 2007 11:55:25 PM
...I told him that Piven is thanking is lucky stars he survived the shitfest that was PCU. At least he wasn't in High School High...

everyone's gotta begin somewhere.
Yeah, I didn't like it either by abcdefz7	Jan 31st, 2007 08:58:24 AM
I saw this in the theater when it came out and strongly disliked it. I may have even walked out. It wasn't just the creepy psycho-sexual vibe (which, yes, Talented Mr. Ripley did beautifully), but the story seemed like such a mess. To this day, the residue makes me unable to see Colin Firth as a swoon-worthy romantic lead the way the ladies have fallen for him, Mr. Darcy nothwithstanding. He does his job, but he seems creepy and cold.
Was Hart Bochner Ellis in Die Hard? by kinghenryVIII	Jan 31st, 2007 09:46:02 AM
Name rings a bell .....
The deal with 'The Keep'... by Cellar Door	Jan 31st, 2007 10:33:05 AM
...as I understand it anyway. Apparently, Michael Mann all but 'disowned' the project (he apparently doesn't site it in his list of work). In the new graphic novel, Wilson talks about how Mann has (or is) apparently blocking production of a DVD. The original story by F. Paul Wilson is totally kick ass and even though he says he 'hated' the movie, I personally liked it a lot and would love a DVD of it..even bare bones would be better than my ancient VHS copy of it. Supposedly, it was either released or 'intended for release' in November of 2004 but some searching turns up nothing. Not even bootlegs of the LD that does exist. I just recently bought the soundtrack (import)...Tangerine Dream did some amazing stuff for film!!
Rent's due by shellfishh	Jan 31st, 2007 01:04:24 PM
...that don't confront me, long as I get my money next Friday
