Stealth and Strange on DVD
In DVD this week we have The Lookout, which is one of the better films of 2007. To steal the contents of a bank vault, a group of thugs use a vulnerable young man, and things go awry. The psychological crime drama Fracture is also in DVD. A murder is committed, and the trial is a good who dunnit with a twist. Also in DVD is the David Lynch film Inland Empire. This is a strange ride that was so interesting to watch. At a 3 hour run time, DVD is a great way to see this piece of art. The strength of all these films are the performances. Enjoy!

So would you recommend 'Empire'? Lynch is really good and really strange, but sometimes I can only stand so much atmoshphere in search of a plot.
Would you place it up w/ Blue Velvet or Mulholland Falls? Those are what I consider to be a few of his best.
I'd recommend this if you like to be intrigued by a film. The plot is disjointed and confusing, the film is long, but I was never bored. The acting is outstanding, Laura Dern is amazing. I liked Mulholland Drive better than Inland Empire, and Inland Empire better than Blue Velvet. hope that helps!
