Between my recent TV appearance, finishing up a new SOMA magazine feature (more on that later), and tons of screenings, it's been quite a weird - and busy - week. But before I get to the reviews proper, a few quick-hit thoughts...
For those who dug Shaun of the Dead, rest assured that Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg's forthcoming follow-up Hot Fuzz is pretty kick-ass.
Weeks after seeing it, I still can't stop thinking about actress-turned-filmmaker Sarah Polley's accomplished directorial debut Away From Her. Be sure to catch it when it hits theaters in May.
New Directors/New Films (whose press screenings finish on Monday) has been pretty ho-hum and forgettable this year.
And now - onto the links!
