Seldom do I have the opportunity to view all the first-run movies on "my list," before they leave the theatre. That means eventually I must resort to renting the video versions when they are released. Since I make no pretense that these are timely, first-run reviews, I'll sequester them here in this separate list. This also gives me the chance to add in detailed reviews and commentaries on my favorite films.
