SIDELINE: MORE REVIEWS FOR 01/08

Given that I write more reviews than what you see here, below is a list of non-Criterion films I covered in the past month that may be of interest to Criterion fans.

IN THEATRES...

* Cassandra's Dream, another solid morality play from Woody Allen.

* The Orphanage, a chilly new ghost story straight outta Spain.

* Taxi to the Dark Side, a must-see documentary that brings home the torture scandals in Iraq with chilling results.

ON DVD...

* An Affair to Remember - 50th Anniversary Edition, the Debora Kerr/Cary Grant vehicle that just gets better with age.

* Essentials Director Series - Pedro Almodovar, a less-satisfying coupling of two of Pedro's transitional efforts.

* Ocean's Trilogy, a box with all three of Steven Soderbergh's stylish heist films.
