    This movie reminded me of 'Stranger Than Paradise' by Jim Jarmush. It's a little unknown gem.

    Delhia Q.

    This movie would have been great if I could have watched it. The disc arrived cracked in half and was rendered unplayable as a result. Blockbuster has shipped faulty movie discs before and the majority of them were independent films, such as Swoon and In the Soup. I recommend just tracking the disc down and purchasing it. It looks as if Blockbuster doesn't care about independent films. I considered complaining about it, but figured what's the use? They're just going to ignore it anyway.
