Overview	Roy Scheider lends his immense talent to this taut action-adventure from director William Friedkin. Set on the edge of a South American jungle, a desperate four-man team, led by Scheider, must transport a cargo of nitroglycerin over 200 miles of treacherous terrain in order to stop a potentially disasterous oil fire. Enter into this explosive mix of split-second strategy and jolting suspense set against an outstanding scor by Tangerine Dream.
My thoughts	I have an old p&s DVD of SorcererSorcerer to be a remake of The Wages of FearThe Wages of Fear; it is a lot scarier than most horror films. Regardless of if you have seen The Wages of Fear or not, this is a film that deserves your attention. And if you haven't seen The Wages of Fear, you should really get the Criterion BD of that one. But don't watch both the same day... A note of warning: Only the blu-ray has the restored version. The DVD with the same cover image that Warner released the same day is just the old p&s release recycled. Shame on you, Warner!

Green for Danger, a review by Antares

Green for Danger (1946) 4/5 - This turned out to be a glorious delight. I had never heard of it, but I've been on an Alastair Sim kick as of late, and seeing as how Criterion felt it was worthy of a spine #, decided to check it out. I love a good murder mystery and this film delivers in spades. The screenplay has just the right amount of twists and turns to divert you from guessing the murderer, mixed in with with ample amounts of great British dry humor. At times, the acting of the principle cast came across as a little wooden and stagey, but Alastair Sim more than made up for it with his wry delivery of lines and his propensity for scene stealing. If you haven't seen this yet, seek it out, it's a good film for a lazy weekend afternoon when the weather is uncooperative.

After finding out I will be getting season 6 given to me here soon... I just couldn't help myself. I had to start watching this series. I need to remind myself of the characters and storylines before watching the new set when it gets here. The first time I watched this set I really didn't care much for the first several episodes... as I really didn't care much for the character of House. But once he grew on me I loved the show. I of course didn't have this problem this time around and ended up enjoying every minute of it.... right from the start. If you never got around to checking out this series... I highly recommend it!
