If you’re a fan of Criterion DVD and Blu-ray’s, I’m about to make you spend a lot of money.  That’s because barnesandnoble.com is doing their annual 50% off Criterion DVD and Blu-rays and they’ve got an amazing selection to pick from.  According to the website, they’ve got 527 Criterion DVD/Blu-rays and they’re all half price!  If you’re just interested in Blu-ray’s, hit this link.  They’ve got 49 to choose from.  And here’s the link to everything.  May I recommend The Red Shoes, Days of Heaven, The Seventh Seal, Wings of Desire, and Black Narcissus.

WINGS OF DESIRE Criterion Blu-ray Review

by Andre Dellamorte    Posted: November 11th, 2009 at 9:15 pm

Wings of Desire is one of those films that I’ve always wanted to see, but been weary of getting around to watching. Sure, it’s a well-respected classic of its time, often cited as one of the great films of the  1980′s, and held the cache of “the foreign film people who don’t watch foreign films love” much like films like Amelie or Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. But when the film came out Pauline Kael decimated it in her review. And I hate being the movie guy who doesn’t like films that everyone else likes, which is often the case. My review after the jump.
