UPDATED TO CRITERION CONFESSIONS...
* Hunger, Michael Fassbender stars in Steve McQueen's harrowing portrait of the IRA prisoners' hunger strike in the early 1980s.
Three gonzo crime films from the uniquely crazy Japanese filmmaker Seijun Suzuki:
* Take Aim at the Police Van (1960)
* Tokyo Drifter (1966)
* Branded to Kill (1967)
THIS WEEK IN DVD/BD REVIEWS...
* The Art of Getting By, a predictable but solid Young Adult story, with fine performances by Emma Roberts and Freddie Highmore.
* Behind the Mask, a mid-40s misfire that attempts to turn the popular Shadow radio serials into...light comedy?!
* Crime Story: The Complete Series, the Michael Mann police drama set in the 1960s but made in the 1980s.
* A Farewell to Arms, Frank Borzage's masterfully melodramatic adaptation of Ernest Hemingway.
* Incident in an Alley, a middling early 1960s crime film based on a Rod Serling short story.
* Seven Chances, an hilarious Buster Keaton short where the great comedian plays a man in desperate need for a wife.
