Support Reel Life! For Real.
Friday, September 23, 2005
Reel Life is the real deal-- a wild collection of every kind of film for people who really love cinema.
Sure it hards to navigate, sometimes requiring Twister-like feats to pass fellow browsers in the narrow, creaking aisles. The filing system is somewhat archaic and the number of titles relatively finite, forcing us all to bring back movies the next day!
But Reel is a mass of great film: blockbusters and indies, foreign and Hollywood, rare and run of the mill, kitschy and haunting, something for all tastes. There's cult stuff you've never heard of and bootlegs and pornos that no megastore would ever dare to stock. It's place where VHS and DVD share their glory.
There are Reel Life's in both Park Slope and Williamsburg.
