Blue Velvet

"Blue Velvet" no doubt can be swallowed easily and conversation after viewing it comes highly recommended. A grossly disturbing movie with impeccable strangeness, thickly layered personalities and nervous emotion throughout its haunting beauty only proves to be a true work of cinematic art. With amazing and captivating performances and brilliant directing by David Lynch, "Blue Velvet" is a stunning combination of good and evil living amongst the quiet and peaceful stillness of a small town. A town that is not as picture perfect and innocent as it appears to be from the outside.

While cutting across a field one sunny and typically normal day, Jeffrey Beaumont (Kyle MacLachlan) happens upon a human ear. The depressing and horror-filled reality of a crime so close to home will set Jeffrey on a mystery where there is no way of looking back or getting out until the nightmare comes to a startling end. Jeffrey will enter into a world where drugs, corruption and beastly disturbing sexual appetites are practiced and the awful stench of murder is what fuels the soulless monsters to perform those horrendous acts of violence.

With an impressive and talented cast, including Isabella Rossellini as "Dorothy Valens," Dennis Hopper as "Frank Booth," Laura Dern as "Sandy Williams" and an incredible performance by Dean Stockwell as "Ben," made "Blue Velvet" an instant cult favorite of mine.

Not only will the movie sit ill in your mind, but the gorgeous and spellbinding music will hover over your entire body. To the great Roy Orbison, you are so cool and will always remain a legend. You can't think of David Lynch without thinking of Roy Orbison when "Blue Velvet" rolls of the lips of its fans.

Some of the impressive DVD features include: "mysteries of love" documentary, deleted scenes montage, original Siskel and Ebert review and original theatrical trailer.

"Blue Velvet" is in a class of its own and one whopper of a classic.
