A mish-mash of genres that tells the story of how a forgotten rock song saves the world from ultimate destruction, Fish Story is easily one of the best Japanese films in years.
I figured that it would be quite a long time before it officially hit North American shores, but hey, it’s certainly nice to be wrong about this – while there’s yet to be a planned DVD, the film just popped up on Netflix: Instant Watch. If you have the service, be sure to check it out.
*UPDATE* Or not. It appears that Netflix links to the wrong film. Hopefully this will be fixed.

The Exorcist, in an extended director’s cut edition, will screen for one night only across the country thanks to Fathom. I never considered this nearly as good as Exorcist III and the director’s cut kind of ruins parts of the film, but the big screen treatment should be nice and will also feature never-before-seen, on-set footage.

The epic serial killer trilogy that spans from 1974 to 1983 as the Yorkshire Ripper terrorizes Britain while corrupt police forces do little to help. 1974 in particular remains one of my favorite films of the year.

Harmony Korine’s Trash Humpers inexplicably remains my favorite film of 2010, and it’s nabbed a home video release at the end of September. Here in America, Drag City will release the DVD. However, in the U.K., Warp Films will have a plethora of viewing options, like 150 limited NTSC VHS copies for North America.
Yes.
Unfortunately, they’re kind of expensive, so someone should probably buy that for me. And even more expensive are the three 35mm prints they’re selling.
Wait, what?
Trash Humpers is released in the U.K. on September 20 (over HERE), and in the U.S. on September 21 (over HERE).
