The Round Up ((La Rafle))...Fri, 12 Mar 2010 00:07:53 ESTFilm Reviews: Turning one of the darkest moments in modern French history into syrupy historical drama, writer-director Rose Bosch's "The Round Up" is a polished, pathos-driven re-creation of the Vichy regime's mass imprisonment and disposal of 13,000 Parisian Jews in summer 1942. With impeccable production values and all-around stirring performances, pic emphasizes the unbearable emotions caused by "events, even the most extreme, that actually happened" (per opening credits), though it often oversimplifies them into a framework of good vs. evil. Following wide local release March 10, this €20 million ($27 million) co-production should round up ample worldwide biz. |

Not too bad. I’m just [...] |

I was driving down the San Diego Freeway, sun in my face, the interior of my car still cold from sitting outside overnight, listening to Deep Tracks.
They played that Manassas track "Right Now"… This is the quintessential Stills, not the debut which got all the hoopla. Buy this [...] |
Tamp ‘Em Up Solid...Tue, 09 Mar 2010 16:35:51 +0000There was an incident in the checkout line. A woman wearing one of those convention badges was in a snit.
