I'm enjoying the new film reviews by Lauren Wilford, who published a review of Submarine at Image, and a review of Buck at Filmwell.
•
A new David Guggenheim documentary on U2 and the production of Achtung Baby is opening the Toronto International Film Festival.
•
One of my favorite films about children, Into the West, is now on Netflix Instant.

Remember when you were impressed when action figures looked anything at all like the big-screen characters they represented? Well, the latest action figures look so real that they make the actors look plastic by comparison. This new Christian Bale/Bruce Wayne figure even has pores.
•
Summer days are sunnier when you're listening to Feist. Here's a new song.
•
Highly praised new albums from Ollabelle and Beirut are currently streaming on NPR First Listen.
•
My favorite film of 2010 (which I didn't get a chance to see until this year) is now available on Blu-Ray from Artificial Eye. I've put in an order. But there are only two left in stock at Amazon.
•
Philip Seymour Hoffman starring in Death of a Salesman on Broadway? With Andrew Garfield as Biff? Yes, please.
•
