2006's 4-star picks from Video Librarian
by amy
Sure, you know the blockbusters. But what about all the hundreds of other video titles (children's, documentaries, anime, how-to) that come out each year? How do you know what's worth watching? In their Nov/Dec issue, Video Librarian rounds up all titles receiving the highest rating (4 stars) from their crew of 20+ reviewers over the course of the year; and since they're generally pretty stingy with the 4-star designation, you can bet they're all worth checking out. Below are those titles owned by or currently on order for AADL:
Lost in the Woods: The Movie; Time Warp Trio: Passport to Adventure; Old Believers; Reckless Indifference; City of Bees; Exploring Space: The Quest for Life; Life in the Undergrowth; Duncan Wong: Yogic Arts-Awakening Level; Trout Grass; Ballets Russes; Horses of Gettysburg; Tony Palmer's Film About the Salzburg Festival; Windosr Castle: A Royal Year; Unknown Chaplin; Henri Langlois: Phantom of the Cinematheque; John & Abigail Adams; Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo, Chapter 1; Kakurenbo: Hide and Seek; Unseen Cinema: Early American Avant-Garde Film; Walt Disney Treasures: Disney Rarities.
