DADDY WAS A BANK ROBBER

NEW IN THEATRES...

* Lebanon, a tense Israeli war movie that takes place entirely inside a tank. Trust me, you want to catch this one. It's riveting.

* The Town, Ben Affleck has made the best Michael Mann movie this century. (Bring it, nerds!) Check out my friend Plastorm's review, too.

* A Woman, a Gun and a Noodle Shop, Zhang Yimou's flaccid remake of Blood Simple. And by "flaccid," I mean "limp." Like a noodle. Haw! Get it?

UPDATED TO CRITERION CONFESSIONS...

* Night Train to Munich, Carol Reed's light thriller is also light propaganda meant to stoke the fires as England entered WWII.

THIS WEEK IN DVD REVIEWS...

* One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest - Collector's Edition, a very cool new packaging of an exceptional movie.

* Saturday Night Live - The Best of Eddie Murphy, a compilation from when Eddie was still funny. Classic stuff.

Current Soundtrack: Laetitia Sadier, The Trip
