Due to a few last-minute changes in release schedules, I downright own the film section this week: a feature review of Werner Herzog's new film Rescue Dawn, the dramatization of his own doc Little Dieter Needs To Fly, accompanied by an interview with co-star Steve Zahn; a short review of Zoe Cassavetes' debut feature, Broken English, along with an interview with the director; and for the Gay & Lesbian Film Festival, which opens today, reviews of a doc about black South African gay men called Black Beulahs (not quite sure how that recommended check got in there; I don't actually recommend it), another doc, The Godfather of Disco, about West End Records honcho Mel Cheren and the relationship between labels and DJs during the height of the disco era, Henry Jaglom's latest, Hollywood Dreams, and the Charles Nelson Reilly one-man show (!) Life of Reilly.
And in music, a feature about the Drive-By Truckers' new show The Dirt Underneath, an acoustic set featuring long-time Neil Young keyboardist Spooner Oldham in the line-up; and finally, a pick for NY-based improvising bassist Reuben Radding.
