If Criterion24/7 hasn’t completely colonized your attention every time you open the Channel––this is to say: if you’re stronger than me––their May lineup may be of interest. First and foremost I’m happy to see a Michael Roemer triple-feature: his superlative Nothing But a Man, arriving in a Criterion Edition, and the recently rediscovered The Plot Against Harry and Vengeance is Mine, three distinct features that suggest a long-lost voice of American movies. Meanwhile, Nobuhiko Obayashi’s Antiwar Trilogy four by Sara Driver, and a wide collection from Ayoka Chenzira fill out the auteurist sets.
Series-wise, a highlight of 1999 goes beyond the well-established canon with films like Trick and Bye Bye Africa, while of course including Sofia Coppola, Michael Mann, Scorsese, and Claire Denis. Films starring Shirley Maclaine, a study of 1960s paranoia, and Columbia’s “golden era” (read: 1950-1961) are curated; meanwhile, The Breaking Ice,...

Watchmen Episode 7
“People who wear masks are driven by trauma,” Agent Laurie Blake is fond of telling anyone who will listen.
So far she appears to be batting 1.000 with that theory. Angela Abar, Wade Tillman, Will Reeves, and even Laurie herself all clearly donned masks to hide from their own pain. Hell, even Red Scare is undoubtedly dealing with some deep-seated issues, given how he eats Cheetos with a fork like an absolute sociopath.
But if people who wear masks are driven by trauma, what the hell are people who wear badges driven by? Midway through Watchmen episode 7 “An Almost Religious Awe” Angela Abar gets a police badge.
It’s not the police badge she will earn one day as detective in the Tulsa Police Department...

John Prine’s wistful yet wise “How Lucky,” first recorded for his 1979 LP Pink Cadillac and produced by Sam Phillips in Memphis, gets a Bluff City update from Grammy-winning Memphis-based producer Matt Ross-Spang for Amazon Music’s “Produced By” series. Listen to the song here.
Rather than celebrating the nostalgia of childhood memories, the tune takes more pleasure in the gift of not being able to recall certain events and circumstances, sentiment skillfully captured in the line, “Bronzed admiration in a blind spot of regret,” as the singer-songwriter hangs his...
