Fort Apache, The Bronx (Original Release Date: 6 February 1981)
Insult and intrigue swap slaps to the viewer's face for much of Fort Apache, The Bronx. It has strong performances and a stronger cast, along with enough real-feeling moments to make the ones that feel less real stand out. I suppose it resonated enough with its original audience for it to be one of the few movies from 1981 you won’t have to go out of your way to find. I found my copy in a four-dollar bargain bin at Walgreens (no hyphen, the Internet tells me).
Finding copies of these movies can be difficult. Next week’s movie comes to us courtesy of a raid on a local seller’s LaserDisc section, and the movie for the week after that is a rare case of NetFlix’s “Watch Instantly” selection aligning with my interests. I’ve had a hard enough time...

Away We Go - Giveaway
I appreciate this film as a quiet examination into the lives of two people who are surrounded by chaos.
What’s most fascinating about Away We Go is that Sam Mendes went from Revolutionary Road to this. From a depressing portrait on suburban life to a picture that dabbles in a little drama and a little comedy the movie works because of co-writers Dave Eggers (A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius and the upcoming film Where The Wild Things Are) and his wife Vendela Vida.
