You always think it’ll happen to the other guy. Then one day, you’re coming home to your familiar beloved street and there it is — the words appearing on a long-abandoned film marquee no less. “Coming Soon: Starbucks.” I’ve seen that movie. The neighborhood dies in the end.
Pucked (Sony)
Jon Bon Jovi as a lawyer. A lawyer turned crooked hockey league commissioner? Even awesomer… a woman’s hockey league peopled by hotties? Stop, you’re killing us.
April 17
PICK Verdict on Auschwitz (First Run)
Easily the most affecting film about the Holocaust I’ve ever witnessed. And at three hours, an almost unrelenting indictment of human nature. April 17
Streets of San Francisco: The First Season Volume 1 (Paramount)
Cops. Cops with sideburns and fedoras. Karl Malden and a young feather-haired Michael Douglas star.
April 3
PICK Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind (Universal)
The only relationship film I’ve ever enjoyed both after being dumped and while in love.
April 17
PICK All That Jazz (Fox)
If you’ve seen it, you’d remember it. If you haven’t… you’re missing Bob Fosse’s peculiarly hued manic meditation on life and death in the arts — Dennis Potteresque. April 3
La Haine (Criterion)
