AMERICAN WITHOUT TEARS



NEW IN THEATRES...

* The American, George Clooney in Anton Corbijn's unconventional spy picture. People keep mentioning Melville's Le samourai, but for some reason, I keep wanting to watch Bertollucci's The Conformist again.

* Machete, Robert Rodriguez's new movie is probably exactly what you think it is.

* Mesrine: Public Enemy #1, the second part of the epic biography of career criminal Jacques Mesrine, played by Vincent Cassel.

THIS WEEK IN DVD REVIEWS...

* Batman: The Brave and the Bold - Season One, Part One, the first 13 episodes of the superhero team-up cartoon.

* Red Riding Trilogy, a remarkable trio of films from England. Three directors tackle the book series by David Peace. Grim, unrelenting, and yet...hopeful.

Current Soundtrack: Kele, The Boxer

I enjoyed Machete a lot more than Expendables.

Probably had 4 or 5 laugh out loud moments in the picture, although none were of Jessica Alba's ICE agent walking around in 6 inch heels.

Did I miss QT having a cameo?
