MACHETE Damn, I kind of loved Machete. Meanwhile, Bobby "Fatboy" Roberts kind of loves Danny Trejo.
THE AMERICAN I also really dug Anton Corbijn's drama—it's being marketed as an action thriller, which it it is actually the exact opposite of, but you should go see it anyway.
GOING THE DISTANCE Drew Barrymore has a long-distance relationship with that guy from the Apple commercials who isn't John Hodgman. It's like any other romcom, but with swears!
JEAN-MICHEL BASQUIAT: THE RADIANT CHILD I am delighted that this artsy documentary is directed by the same woman who brought us this.
More, as ever, in our Film Shorts and Movie Times. (Also, reminder! The Mercury's co-sponsoring Cort and Fatboy's screening of FERRIS BUELLER'S DAY OFF tonight. So that will be rad.)
