Link of the Day: EUROPA

The second of my two pieces for InRo's Lars von Trier retrospective went up today. It's a review of Europa (A.K.A. Zentropa, in the States), one of the Danish master's earlier, more stylized efforts.

Next up: a fantastic fox, a barren road and putting the lid on 2009.

Link of the Day: 2012

A new review, of Roland Emmerich's 2012, at In Review Online.

Link of the Day: THE MEN WHO STARE AT GOATS

For In Review Online, my take on Grant Heslov's The Men Who Stare At Goats.

Link of the Day: MANDERLAY

Check out my review of Manderlay, the first of two pieces I've written for In Review Online's Lars von Trier retrospective.

Coming in February...

Link of the Day: CAPITALISM: A LOVE STORY

I've got a new review up of Michael Moore's latest (and maybe final?) documentary, Capitalism: A Love Story, over at In Review Online. Next up: a much more Brechtian indictment of evil American institutions, Lars Von Trier's Manderlay.

Links of the Day: AFTERSCHOOL and THE BOYS ARE BACK

One's a chilly autopsy of our digital media-obsessed age. The other's a warm and fuzzy Rites of Passage picture. Both are now playing in select theaters. Neither are earning big ups from yours truly.

Nearly two years after its hotly debated debut at Sundance '08, Antonio Campos's Afterschool is finally getting a proper U.S. run. I caught it last November in Paris. The review I wrote, freshly starred for your at-a-glance satisfaction, has found a home over at In Review Online. While there, take a gander at my thoughts on Shine director Scott Hick's new weepie The Boys Are Back.
