'Glastonbury' is All a Blurnew

Hirokazu Kore-eda's latest movie is doubly unpredictable, not just in the way that its focus on survival--rather than the shuffling sound of death outside the door--marks a major about-face from his earlier films' pervasive probings of mortality and memory.

Apocalypse Then and Nownew
It's always dangerous to make direct links between current events and pop-culture phenomena: So much time usually lags between the conception of a novel, record, or movie and its eventual release that such connections are, at best, coincidence. Let's just say that the small wave of time-travel movies that started last year with The Butterfly Effect is...interesting.
