All of the films reviewed this week pale in comparison to Charles Burnett's Killer of Sheep, which I was fortunate enough to catch during its recently concluded, first-ever NYC theatrical run. My review of that 1977 masterpiece can be found below this post.
As for the new stuff, well, Disturbia and Year of the Dog aren't half bad, which makes them twice as good as Pathfinder and a little bit better than next week's Hopkins-Gosling thriller Fracture.
This Weekend:
Year of the Dog (Slant magazine)
Disturbia (Slant magazine)
Pathfinder (Slant magazine)
Dreaming Lhasa (Slant magazine)
Future Weekends:
Fracture (Slant magazine)
Hey Nick,
Just a quick heads up - you may want to swap the first letter of your Fracture review on Slant from the "W" to an "H".
