At the electronic outlet: The Canyons.


So yeah. This is the piece where I bring down some anger my way. I dug The Canyons a lot. Most people may very well hate it. Here's a quick test... Look at the image below. You see that '70s sweater La Lohan is wearing? If you don't feel immediately intrigued as to that combination of elements, then this may not be the film for you.

At the movies: Stoker.

I was given the chance to write about the exquisitely messed-up English-langauge debut for Korean director Park Chanwook, and it's an opportunity that I leapt at. When you see Stoker, and you certainly should, you'll sink into its sensual enchantment and you will want to get new wine glasses. It's not just a testament to Nashville's exceptional film industry, some of the finest artists and craftspeople I've had the pleasure of sharing a mutual horror at our state legislature with, but an example of how you can rope together several disparate elements and turn it into something unexpected and glorious. Not to be missed...
