Re-Release of Dance Me Outside
I just wanted to let everyone know that they are re-releasing Dance Me Outside. This is a great little flick from 1995. It has Adam Beach, Michael Greyeyes, and Jennifer Podemski. It's a film about a murder, but their are some seriously funny parts as well. I used to own it on VHS, but since it became obsolete I got rid of all of my VHS thinking I could just get it on DVD. Well it was never released on DVD until now. The date is set for 08 June 08. Check it out and let me know what you think, if you haven't already seen it or if you have.

Bruce McDonald's wry adaptation of a W.P. Kinsella novel is an engaging, touching story about an awkward passage into manhood and love for an 18-year-old Indian metalhead on the Kidabanesee Reserve in Ontario. Silas Crow (Ryan Black) is a drifting young fellow dragging his feet about entering a school for auto mechanics. While loosely entertaining the idea of writing, Silas unprofitably kills all his time with a thickheaded buddy, Frank Fencepost (Adam Beach), and watches his old girlfriend, Sadie Maracle (Jennifer Podemski), grow away from him as she takes up native issues with admirable commitment. A visit by Silas's older sister, Ilianna (Lisa LaCroix) (with her new, white-and-uptight husband reluctantly in tow), plus the simultaneous reappearance of Ilianna's old flame, ex-con Gooch (Michael Greyeyes), and the unpunished murder of a native girl by a white thug set off a series of events culminating in redemptive acts of love and honor. Big themes, yes, but McDonald (Highway 61) has wisely chosen to emphasize the charm of his characters, make sport of spiritual clichés and Indian chic (there's a funny bit in which Silas gets Ilianna's husband drunk and introduces him to a bogus animal guide), and allow the cruelty of white justice against natives to speak (often comically) for itself. --Tom Keogh

This is a great movie. I have it on VHS but I don't use that anymore. Thanks for posting that it's coming out on DVD.
If you want to request that Netflix put it in inventory you can click on Contact Us at the bottom of web pages on Netflix you will get a page that has a link to put in a title request;
Title Request - Request a movie you'd like us to carry.
I've requested it and gave them the link to Amazon showing it's release.
Thanks so much!

Thanks! I will definately request it, even though I have already ordered mine. I have to own this one! But I want others to see it as well. Maybe then they can make more great NA films.
Peace

Wow. I didn't know you could ask Netflix to buy stuff. Do they often listen to you?

Hi Bodhi Grrl!
Some of the DVDs I've asked for they have put in inventory. Some I'm still waiting for but the more people that ask for them the better.

Oops! I gave you guys the wrong info. The DVD will be re-released on 08 July 08. I got so excited about getting mine that I went back and checked to see when I would receive it. Well, that's the way it goes I suppose. Sorry guys!

I just watched "Dance Me Outside". I loved it, I think it's a great movie. This is where I heard about it. Thanks for the tip. I saw Dreamkeeper a couple weeks ago. Another great one. I still haven't seen The one about the boxer. Is it "Black Cloud"? Anyway it's in my queue, I'll see it soon.
