Forgotten?

Gone But Not Forgotten
$14.98
This is entertaining and holds a person's attention. There are plenty of unexpected twists, making it a good story.

The Forgotten Coast
$6.99
This is right up there with Endless Summer. My husband loves it and has viewed it several times. If you have a couch surfer at home who talks about the good old days of surfing, treat him to this video.

Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors
$2.99
The box-set has 4 movies, spanning pretty much the entire career of Paradjanov (who unfortunately for him spent a lot of his life in the soviet jails). The first two are absolute masterpieces, but I care much less for the last two. This being said, both the "colour of the pomegranates" and "shadow of the forgotten ancestors" were one of a kind experience and I would highly recommend both to anyone interested in movies that stretch one's conception of cinema and art. That's pretty clearly a big if, but if you recognize yourself as such a person, go for it without any hesitation (and maybe start with the pomegranates rather than the shadows: this is not the chronological order, but this would in my view make for a gentler introduction)

Not Forgotten [Blu-ray]
$34.98
This movie has an interesting premise. It has an interesting plot and twists and turns. I like suspense and truly like Simon Baker's talent; I bought this specifically because Simon Baker is in it. The ending is one I did not see coming.

Someone goofed in the editing room or in overall production. It is disjointed in several places and it maybe that some scenes were cut that should have remained. The story is good, has interesting details but something is missing. Most of the acting is good; Baker and the leading lady are great.

I was a little confused by the movie but thought it interesting and okay so I turned on the commentary from the writers/directors to possibly clear what I did not "get". I could not believe what was said in the commentary section. I listened to the inane comments from the writers/directors doing their commentary thing. Incredibly self congradulatory, self centered, self indulgent idiots who don't have a clue as to the audience they are addressing. I really don't care which one was "on scene filming" which portion of the movie while the other was in LA yet these two think it was important for all movie viewers to know this fact and comment on it. Nor do I care that they had to put signs and barbed wire in the river to look like the Rio and how proud of this fact they are - several times and minutes worth. Incredibly unprofessional, slanderous comments were made towards Baker who obviously had artistic differences with these baffons. I hope he got his money up front and cut them loose though he has plenty of material for a lawsuit. He gave them a great performance despite their obvious disdain and slandering of him behind his back such as "at least Simon has good hair but that's about the only decent thing I can say about him. Other than that, no comment." Simon and the other actors still give good performances despite the idiocy of these people at the head of the table.
