Jen's Video Picks of the Week

For the Art-House Collectors



(Note: All of the Above I Have Yet to See but They're of Particular Interest)

For the Kids



(Note: I've only caught Donald & last season's iCarly but felt LeapFrog was appropriate for Back-to-School)

For TV Lovers: Guilty Pleasures Edition

(Notes: Devoured the GG set which is gorgeous and loaded with extras-- nearly Blu-ray quality but have yet to review. DSM was a series I truly enjoyed yet missed the final episodes of following ABC's cancellation)

Film News: A Film Intuition Follow-up -- Jonathan Blitstein to Direct "Escape to Donegal"

Near the end of 2008, Film Intuition offered readers an exclusive interview with young award-winning filmmaker Jonathan Blitstein whose excellent film-festival hit Let Them Chirp Awhile was starting to make its way into theatres following great reviews and word-of-mouth.

Recently, we were hit up with a great piece of follow-up news on the filmmaker from one of our anonymous L.A. sources and it's official-- Jonathan Blitstein is attached to direct this summer's New York based production of Escape to Donegal.

A psychological science fiction thriller in the vein of Philip K. Dick (who penned the works that inspired Blade Runner, Minority Report, Total Recall, A Scanner Darkly, Paycheck, and Next) that has elements of a fable-- Donegal is slated to begin production in a few months and we'll keep you updated as soon as we learn more.

Congratulations, Jonathan Blitstein on behalf of Film Intuition and thanks to our source and remember-- whether it's an update on a new independent film, reader mail, site suggestions, or press releases-- you can always contact Film Intuition directly via our feedback form.

And be sure to keep track of all the latest updates by visiting our new Feeds & Widgets page that has a constant scroll of the additions to our Review Database, Trailer & Photo Gallery, Video Screening Room, and Jen's P.O.V.
