Did you know, that if you subscribe to Time Warner or Cox cable systems, that you have access to an International Movies On Demand channel? I'm not talking about the international films already available on the usual Movies On Demand channel, but a completely separate selection of foreign titles on a completely different part of your cable menu?

No, I am not having an existential crisis.  Well, maybe I am, but that's not related to the subject of this post. 

I decided to check out Yasujiro Ozu's 1932 silent classic I Was Born, But... last night at the IFC Center.  Having not seen any of Ozu's work, I was pretty excited about the opportunity to catch this film on the big screen. [READ MORE]

Travel season has begun, and we FilmBuffs want to get out there and see the world.  With this week's record temperatures in New York, though, the mere idea of stepping outside makes us want to melt. [READ MORE]

This week is all about independence, in honor of July 4^th.  We're showing great films featuring stories and characters who take a stand for their passions - whether politics, t-shirts, or nothing at all.  These great movies are proof of the American spirit - they make laugh, think, and most of all appreciate living in the USA.

Check out all the great trailers here, and follow us on Facebook and Twitter for more updates as the week continues.

Tell us what you stand for!  ‘Like' FilmBuff on Facebook, and post your comments on our wall.  Let's share the independent love.

BP has a YouTube channel that addresses many of the current developments and consequences of their horrible oil spill. What the YouTube channel does not provide, however, is the ability for viewers to post comments. I think we all understand why they made this decision, but that doesn't make it a good one. This sort of backwards corporate thinking (and a lack of social media understanding) is exactly what makes dumb companies do dumb things in the first place. YouTube comments are not going to fix the crisis in the Gulf, but disabling them only sends the message that BP could care less what you think. It's thus no surprise that the videos have a fairly low number of views.

It's the first day of summer, and things are heating up at FilmBuff.  We're kicking off this week with Sinful Summer - sultry films paying tribute to the intrigue of these long, hot days.

Check out films like SICK SEX, THIS GIRL'S LIFE, DEMONLOVER, and others.  We'll be updating all week on Twitter and Facebook, so stay tuned, and let us know what you think.

We can't think of a better way to indulge.
