I LOVED YOU FOR A THOUSAND YEARS



NEW IN THEATRES...

* The Expendables, starring Sylvester Stallone, steroids, and special-effects blood. It's the old man movie not to see this weekend.

* Get Low, starring Robert Duvall and Bill Murray, it's the old man movie you should see this weekend.

* Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, the movie to see this weekend. Period.

UPDATED TO CRITERION CONFESSIONS...

* Breathless - 50th Anniversary Restoration, Jean-Luc Godard's revolutionary classic is in theatres again. Portland, see it this week at Cinema 21!



* 3 Silent Film Classics by Josef von Sternberg, an incredible trio of films from a true visionary. One of my favorites so far this year! [Also at DVDTalk]

THIS WEEK IN DVD REVIEWS...

* Helen, Ashley Judd is mentally ill, thanks to the director of Mostly Martha.

* Henson's Place: The Man Behind the Muppets, an all-too-brief but still fascinating portrait of Jim Henson made for the BBC in the 1980s.

* Pandora and the Flying Dutchman, a newly restored version of the utterly bizarre Albert Lewin romance. Starring James Mason and Ava Gardner.



Current Soundtrack: Kele, The Boxer

Great review of Scott Pilgrim. Haven't seen it yet but just love the way you write about it. As always, your reviews are as artful as the films could be.
