IN THEATRES...
* Che--less a full review, more of a brief recount of the experience and the day, including meeting Steven Soderberg.
* The Great Buck Howard loses a bravura John Malkovich performance in an overly genial script.
* I Love You, Man, a gut-busting bromance with stand-out performances by Jason Segel and Paul Rudd.
* Watchmen--as in, man, are you going to be looking at your watch. A lot.
ON DVD...
* Elegy, the recent Philip Roth adaptation with Sir Ben Kingsley and Penelope Cruz.
* Max Fleischer's Gulliver's Travels, the classic cartoon gets a fishy remastering.
* L'Innocente, the final film of Luchino Visconti is a steamy winner.
* The Kaiser's Lackey, a 1950s East German satire that has lost some of its bite over the years, thought it still retains its artistic vigor.
* Paul Newman X 2: The Helen Morgan Story, a fairly average biopic about a doomed singer, and The Outrage, Martin Ritt's perplexing remake of Rashomon.
* The Robe, the overwrought, overripe religious picture is only really notable for being the first studio production released in Cinemascope.
* The Romance of Astrea & Celadon, an Eric Rohmer period piece that gets stuck up its own class.
* The Scarlett Johansson Collection, collecting three more indie-minded movies featuring the actress.
* Yentl, the Babra Streisand musical is a real eye-opener.
