I fell in love with the work of an artist last weekend, commiserating across decades with her primal, primary colored canvasses. As I contemplated buying the $10 catalogue, a Frenchman negotiated the price of an $18,000 piece. I put the catalogue down and went outside, the wind a little colder than before, the sky, a bit grayer.

Almodovar is the poster child for a director’s maturation without getting boring. This is possibly the best made film of its kind since the turn of the century.

The Silent Partner (Lion’s Gate)
A 1978 film starring Eliot Gould we’ve never heard of? And it’s Canadian too. Should be a low-budget treat.

The Mario Bava Collection Vol. 1 (Starz Home Entertainment)
The Italians can make trash, Communism and diving in an attempt to gain a penalty kick all seem strangely ennobling.

Dog Day Afternoon (Warner)
It would be interesting to see what gentrificationist remodeling has occurred at the Brooklyn neighborhood in which this was filmed.

Twin Peaks: The Second Season (Paramount)
I lived in England during the height of this show’s popularity and was constantly asked if I was a fan of the show and whether I knew the plot twists since I was an American. Wrong on both counts. Lynch, is something one outgrows, like acne or premature ejaculation.
