I DON'T WANT TO BE A LOSER

NEW IN THEATRES...

* The Losers, another comic book adaptation that doesn't quite succeed.

This review of the film by Bobby Roberts cracked me up.

UPDATED TO CRITERION CONFESSIONS...

* Il Posto, Ermanno Olmi's 1961 portrait of dreams deferred. Featuring the failure of a wonderful teen romance.

* Summer Hours, the most recent from Olivier Assayas, looking at how we accumulate things in our lives and what they mean when we are gone.

THIS WEEK IN DVD REVIEWS...

* Mammoth, an intriguing drama from Swedish director Lukas Moodysson, highlighted knockout performances from Gael Garcia Bernal and the always wonderful Michelle Williams.

Current Soundtrack: CocoRosie, "Brazilian Sun;" Brook Benton, "It's Just A Matter Of Time"
