New in Theaters:
The Guard

Taking a page from the darker verges of his In Bruges performance (already a pretty black piece of work, there), Brendan Gleeson stalks onto the screen in The Guard like his character couldn’t decide whether to get up for work that morning or shoot himself in the head. Not because he’s depressed, but maybe just to see what it was like. For today, Sgt. Gerry Boyle (Gleeson) is on the scene, but who knows what tomorrow will bring?… 

The Guard is playing now in limited release; check it out. You can read my full review at filmcritic.com.
