TEARS ON FRESH FRUIT

NEW IN THEATRES...



* Bill W., a documentary about the man behind Alcoholics Anonymous

* Chicken with PlumsVincent Paronnaud and Marjane Satrapi's disappointing follow-up to Persepolis. 

UPDATED TO CRITERION CONFESSIONS...

* Eating Raoul, the cult comedy of the 1980s is a tepid retro pick for the 2010s. (Also posted at DVD Talk.)

* Women of the Night, Kenji Mizoguchi's tragedy of post-War Japan.

THIS WEEK IN BD/DVD REVIEWS...

* Bird of Paradise, a pre-Code picture from King Vidor, indulging in island fantasy cliches.

* Black Sunday, Mario Bava's 1960 horror debut is spooky and sexy.

* Cinderella, Disney's animated fairy tale comes to Blu-Ray. It looks marvelous, even if it is one of the studio's more middling efforts.


Current Soundtrack: Extended versions of Prince & the Revolution songs
