HEY, DON'T FALTER



NEW IN THEATRES...

* Take Shelter, the movie where Michael Shannon goes crazy and the world seemingly follows his lead.


UPDATED TO CRITERION CONFESSIONS...

* Harakiri, Masaki Kobayashi's stunning 1962 film starring Tatsuya Nakadai as a samurai with a dark plan.

* Salo, or the 120 Days of Sodom, Pasolini's notorious ode to human cruelty and degradation. (Also at DVD Talk.)

THIS WEEK IN DVD/BD REVIEWS...

* Bad Teacher: Unrated Edition, a superb cast can't prevent this from being one of the least funny movies you'll see this (or any) year.

* Buster Keaton - Short Films Collection: 1920-1923, 19 comedy gems on three discs.

* His Way, a breezy documentary about music promoter/movie producer Jerry Weintraub.

* Great Italian Directors Collection, a boxed set of three films, including the first by Antonioni, a mid-60s Monicelli, and the anthology film Boccaccio '70.



Current Soundtrack: The Joy Formidable, The Big More
