The only instance I can think of off the top of my head is the review for "12 Angry Men", which mentions the technique used by that film's director of lowering the camera angle as the film progresses, in order to communicate a feeling of increasing claustrophobia. I thought that was interesting, and wondered where the background information came from.

MST3K, of course, is a pretty juvenile, Gen-X form of entertainment, but I'd be dishonest if I didn't admit that I dig it to no end. MST3K: The Movie is surely one of the absolute funniest, side-splitting, laugh-til-you-choke, wonderful films I've ever seen in the comedy genre. There's something tasty and ironic, too, about the fact that it isn't even really a movie in its own right, but just a running sarcastic commentary on another film. I get downright upset at people who talk during MST3K: The Movie, because you miss something funny if you even cough. Rent this baby and enjoy!
