INTERNATIONAL BULLET PROOF TALENT



NEW IN THEATRES...

* The Other Guys, a Will Ferrell vehicle that kind of crashes and burns. Yeah, I know, big surprise. But this one comes with an economics lesson at the end!

* Winnebago Man, the documentary about YouTube sensation "The Angry RV Guy." An interesting idea gets lost somewhere along the way, right around when the filmmaker sticks himself in front of the narrative.

UPDATED TO CRITERION CONFESSIONS...

* Black Orpheus, a fantastic reissue of this mesmerizing Brazilian movie.



* Presenting Sacha Guitry - Eclipse Set 22, a quartet of phenomenal films from the playwright turned film director. Inventive and fun early French cinema. [Also at DVDTalk]

THIS WEEK IN DVD REVIEWS...

* The Good, the Bad, the Weird, a modern Korean western that just could be the most fun I had at the movies all year.

* The Thorn in the Heart, Michel Gondry's touching documentary about his aunt goes to some surprisingly dark places.



Current Soundtrack: Luna, Lunafied
