It takes no small amount of skill, ambition, and artistry to get a film made in the first place; a very few, however, step onto the scene and immediately cover themselves in glory. This week, El'Ahrai and John gome up with their Top Five Directorial Debuts. Plus! A review of "The Mechanic" and a knock-down, drag-out fight over "I Spit On Your Grave" that threatens the Harvey and Bob Show to its very foundation! A few words here about following people. People know they're being followed when they turn around and see someone following them. They can't tell they're being followed if you get there first. A director's debut is a delicate thing.
