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.
I'm definitely going to get a review up before I go to Dallas this weekend for Free Comic Book Day. I hope, I hope. It would be my first week of no reviews if I fail. I've actually got both of May's Louis Malle releases to watch, so it will likely be one of those.
IN THEATRES...
* Last Year at Marienbad, the Alain Resnais classic is doing the revival rounds.
* My Blueberry Nights, Wong Kar-Wai's first English-language film gets overanalyzed yet again.
* Shine a Light, where Martin Scorsese meets the Rolling Stones to create an IMAX concert experience.
ON DVD...
* Dam Street, a Chinese film, directed by Li Yu, showing the stigma and long-lasting effects of Communism's strict moral code in the 1980s/90s on a teenage girl who becomes pregnant.
* The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, one of the best movies of last year. A tremendous achievement by Julian Schnabel.
* The Pied Piper of Hützovina, a documentary on Gogolo Bordello's Eugene Hutz returning to the Ukraine.
* Starting Out in the Evening, in which Frank Langella gives a tremendous performance as a writer at the tail end of his career and facing the outer edges of obscurity.

Nice reviews. We definitely loved Blueberry Nights as we're fans of Wong. And how can we forget about the lovely blueberry kiss!
