William S. Burroughs: My Education. A book of Dreams



I climb to the top floor of a vast warehouse by iron stairs and ramps, a big bare room with windows I can look five hundred feet down. I have come here, of course, to soar down. Need something to break out a window. An iron bar or perhaps a barstool- - like the man who broke a glass door in the Milky Way in Amsterdam and Benn Posset shielded me with his body?

New Stuff: Neil Young



A live album documenting a 1985 concert at the time of Neil Young's country album Old Ways, so it's heavy on country tunes, but with some great sprawling electric guitar songs as well.

Nicole Fox


First Lines: Mark Oliver Everett - Things the Grandchildren Should Know



I was driving through the pitch black Virginia night, down the perfectly flat blacktop that was once a railroad track, across that high bridge over the ravine, thinking about the details of how one night I was going to drive off it.

Giant (1956)



Sprawling epic covering the life of a Texas cattle rancher and his family and associates.
Carefully and tastefully produced epic, but overlong and a bit tedious.

Marina Nery


New Stuff: The New Yorker


Albe Hamiti


Saw IV (2007)


During the autopsy of jigsaw the coroner finds a tape inside his stomach and calls the police.

Competently made shocker, but told in a complex way in flashbacks from previous parts of the series.

The Postman (1997)


In post-apocalyptic America what begins as a con game becomes one man's quest to rebuild civilization by resuming postal service.

Despite the ridiculous plot and many critics' claims this movie is not that horribly bad, just merely mediocre (and way too long).

Isabel Lucas


The Missing (2003)




In 1885 New Mexico, a frontier medicine woman forms an uneasy alliance with her estranged father when her daughter is kidnapped by an Apache brujo.

Well-made western with a True Grit-like plot, despite all its credentials it's simply way too long.
