BANG GOES THE KNIGHTHOOD



NEW IN THEATRES...

Bring some popcorn!

* Knight & Day, a genre mash-up with Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz that is as surprising as it is likable. James Mangold directs.

* Micmacs, the new Jean-Pierre Jeunet combines Looney Tunes with Jacques Tati.

UPDATED TO CRITERION CONFESSIONS...

* Red Desert, Antonioni's challenging meditation on modern ennui and sickness of the soul as it applies to Monica Vitti. (Also at DVD Talk.)

THIS WEEK IN DVD REVIEWS...

* Hung: The Complete First Season, another winner from HBO. Thomas Jane is great as the unlikely gigolo in this dramedy from producer Alexander Payne.

* Tom & Jerry: Deluxe Anniversary Collection, a poor excuse for a cartoon double-dip. Warners can never get these Tom and Jerry sets right.



Current Soundtrack: Louis C.K. on Leno; Kent, En plats i solen
