MR. MOJO RISIN'



NEW IN THEATRES...

* Valhalla Rising, a dream-like story of Vikings in the new world, directed by Nicolas Winding Refn, the guy who brought us Bronson. I liked it, but kind of can't figure out why. Playing Portland at Cinema 21 this week.

UPDATED TO CRITERION CONFESSIONS...

* L'enfance nue, a compelling story of a boy struggling through French foster care, circa 1968. From director Maurice Pialat.



THIS WEEK IN DVD REVIEWS...

* Burning Paradise, Ringo Lam's dark martial arts fantasy from the mid-'90s.

* Temple Grandin, Claire Danes shines in this inspiring biopic of a woman with autism who revolutionized how we take care of beef cattle.

* Wolverine & the X-Men: Final Crisis Trilogy, the last volume in the fun cartoon series.



Current Soundtrack: Emmanuelle Seigner, Dingue
