TEARDROPS ON YOUR GUITAR



NEW IN THEATRES...

* The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond, the resurrected script from Tennessee Williams raises some questions as to its completion, though Bryce Dallas Howard is mesmerizing.

UPDATED TO CRITERION CONFESSIONS...

* Umberto D., Vittorio De Sica's 1952 tale of an old man and his dog. I bring in personal reminiscences, comic books, whatever floats my boat.

THIS WEEK IN DVD REVIEWS...



* Attraction, Tinto Brass' 1969 exercise in psychedelic over-indulgence. Yawn.

* Big Love: The Complete Third Season, the series about plural marriage chugs along with varying results.

* The Brigitte Bardot Classic Collection, three films of varying quality starring the beautiful icon of French cinema.

* In the Loop, Armando Iannucci's blistering political satire. Peter Capaldi and James Gandolfini let the profanity fly!

* 20th Century Boys 1: Beginning of the End, the first part of three in a live-action adaptation of the Naoki Urasawa manga.

* The Zombies - Odessey and Oracle (Revisited): The 40th Anniversary Concert, the surprisingly potent reunion of one of the most underrated bands of the '60s.



Current Soundtrack: Timbaland, Presents: Shock Value II
