While the new DVD set of The Godfather saga is a must-buy for any fan of the films, do yourself one better and head out to the Arclight and see it on the big screen, too. I guess Sex and the City was an okay movie for fans of the TV show, but I prefer this commentary on it. Leatherheads deserves some credit for trying to bring back the screwball comedy. Too bad it sucked beyond belief. Asia Argento is always worth watching. Same goes for Simon Pegg. Deception may have been the worst movie of the year. Poor, brilliant Michelle.

Other than the director, the cinematographer may have the most critically important job on a film set which makes Cinematographer Style a definite pick-up for any cinephile. Featuring interviews with such luminaries as Vittorio Storaro, Roger Deakins and Gordon Willis it is a rich collection of insight and introspection. Trust me. Buy it. Now that he's Iron Man, Robert Downey Jr. may never again make a failure as interesting as The Singing Detective. Who doesn't love Danish nudie flicks? Well, these guys don't. But I sure as shit do!
