NEW IN THEATRES...
* The Ides of March, a political drama from he-that-can-do-no-wrong, George Clooney. Starring Ryan Gosling.

UPDATED TO CRITERION CONFESSIONS...

THIS WEEK IN DVD/BD REVIEWS...

* Dumbo: The 70th Anniversary Edition, the stellar new upgrade for the little elephant that could.
* I'm a Cyborg, But Thats OK, an inconsistent oddity from Park Chan-wook.
* Tomorrow is Forever, a post-war snooze with Orson Welles and Claudette Colbert doing their best to be mellow in all the drama.
* True Adolescents, a surprising indie comedy starring Mark Duplass as the cliche 30s rocker on his last legs.
Current Soundtrack: Dean Martin, "Sway;" Xavier Cugat, "The Lady in Red;" Enoch Light, "Autumn in New York;" Duffy, Endlessly
