So after a 10 year hiatus Black Dog Video will be back on the street for Car-Free Day on Commercial July 7th! Drop by and say hey, peruse that great movies and box sets we’ll have for sale and check out (re: buy) a cool T-shirt or two. We’ll (hopefully) be unveiling a sweet new design that day as well. Hope to see you there (if not in the stores before then).

Una – A woman (Rooney Mara) confronts an older man (Ben Mendelsohn), her former neighbour, to find out why he abandoned her after they had a sexual relationship. Seems to be an icky theme this week.

MV5BYjY0NTA5MGItNDU1Yy00ZmE3LWI5NGItZDY5OGUxZjYzZGQ5XkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyMTMxODk2OTU@._V1_UX182_CR0,0,182,268_AL_

Five Feet Apart – Jughead from Riverdale meets an attractive teenager and falls in love. Unfortunately they both have cystic fibrosis and can’t touch each other! Ay Ca-rumba! What are they going to do, an interpretive dance of their tender feelings?

Whew! Italian Days are behind us once again. It was a zoo – 300,000 humans walking around the Drive. So many people. One bright spot was in front of a little shop known as Black Dog Video there was a real live mermaid chillin’! (Thanks, Tristan Risk!) Cool.

We will probably be adjusting the store hours in the next couple of weeks as summer rolls in. Something along the lines of opening later in the afternoon and possibly remaining open later in the evening. Stay tuned.

New Releases!

MV5BMTc5Nzc1OTk3OV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwNDM1NTQ3NjM@._V1_UX182_CR0,0,182,268_AL_-1

Gloria Bell – Gloria Bell is Julianne Moore, a free-spirited woman in her 50’s who rocks the L.A. dance club scene. From Oscar winner Sebastián Lelio (A Fantastic Woman).

MV5BMTk2Mzg4NzI3NF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwMzE5NDk1NzM@._V1_UX182_CR0,0,182,268_AL_

Her Smell – Unfortunately titled film finds Elizabeth Moss as a self-destructive punk rocker. Is there any other kind?

MV5BYjA0ODFmNjAtOGJmNi00NDdkLTk4ZmQtMDZkYzA1ZTgzODM0XkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyODQyNDU2MTU@._V1_UX182_CR0,0,182,268_AL_

I am The Night – One of the Captain Kirk’s (Pine Kirk) is a gumshoe who teams up with an orphan woman to, hopefully, solve the Black Dahlia murder case in this fine TV shoe.

MV5BZWIxNjQyOTgtMThhNi00ZjUwLWI3ZWUtYjQ3ZmEyOWViMmVkXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyNTkxNTkzNTg@._V1_UX182_CR0,0,182,268_AL_

JT Leroy – Strange, true tale of a woman who impersonated a made-up author for 6 years. Or something like that. Looks pretty cool.

MV5BMTU2MjI5MzMzMF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwNzk3ODQyNzM@._V1_UX182_CR0,0,182,268_AL_

Knife + Heart – Take one helping of Bava, a dash of Lynch and two fingers of Anger, mix well and serve up this gay giallo inspired mystery. Knock it back in one gulp.

MV5BMzJhYTBkMDktY2Q5Yy00M2MwLTg2MzQtZjFlMmRmMTc5OGMwXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyODAzODU1NDQ@._V1_UX182_CR0,0,182,268_AL_

The Bookshop – Nice little film finds nice little Emily Mortimer opening a nice little bookshop in the year 1959 in, you guessed it, a nice little English town. Nice.

MV5BMjllYmQ2OGQtN2IxZC00ODJiLWI4NjQtYmNlZjYzNzUzYjkyXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyNTAzMTY4MDA@._V1_UY268_CR7,0,182,268_AL_

Climax – Gaspar Noe (Enter the Void) smashes his way back onto the screen with this gloriously insane dance-rehearsal-goes-off-the-rails-when-someone-spikes-the-punch-with-LSD film. Ruh-roh! The dancing is mind-blowing as is this rest of this wonderful piece of insanity. One of my favourites of 2018. Not for all tastes but mine for sure!

MV5BZWYwOTgyYzQtYjdjZC00ZGE4LWExM2ItZTczZGEzMDY4OTU0XkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyMTY2NTQ3ODc@._V1_UY268_CR4,0,182,268_AL_

Dave Made a Maze – Odd but fun sounding film finds Dave, a frustrated artist, who builds a big fort in his living room but then has trouble finding a way out. I imagine that other things happen as well.

MV5BZmNiN2NkN2EtOGEwNy00Mzc4LThjYzctNjhhYmRkZjZjODEzXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyODAwMjQ5MjY@._V1_UY268_CR3,0,182,268_AL_

Holiday – Tough, some will say unpleasant, film about a love triangle gone bad involving gangsters and drug lords and a trophy girlfriend. Warnings of sexual assaults and more violence abound. Heard that it’s very good, though you’ve been warned.

MV5BMjEyNDQyMTc2NF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwMjMzMTAwNjE@._V1_UX182_CR0,0,182,268_AL_

Listen to Me Marlon – Great documentary about the fine actor known to many as Marlon Brando. “Whatcho talkin’ about, Stella?!”

MV5BMTcxNzY3Mzk5OF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwNjQwODU1NjM@._V1_UX182_CR0,0,182,268_AL_

Miss Bala – Remake of the Mexican film with the same name finds Gloria unwittingly being drawn into the world of cross-border crime. Oh, Gloria!

MV5BMTQ1ODFjNzAtNjg1OC00ZGM4LWFkM2QtMTk1NjIwMWJmZWYzXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyMjEwMDY4OTk@._V1_UY268_CR2,0,182,268_AL_

No Date, No Signature – Mystery from Iran finds a forensic pathologist coming across the body of someone he was in a car accident the day before. Did he kill this person? Or is there a greater mystery afoot?

MV5BYjFhN2Y0MWYtYTgzMi00ZTg4LTgyNTUtMTdiOTNjZGE0YmM2XkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyMDc2NTEzMw@@._V1_UY268_CR17,0,182,268_AL_
