A couple of your ol’ lister’s favorite movies arrive today: Jonathan Demme’s rough-and-tumble 1986 road comedy Something Wild, now available on Blu-ray as part of The Criterion Collection; and Sylvain Chomet’s bittersweet animated adaptation of Jacques Tati’s previously unproduced screenplay The Illusionist. This is also a strong week for grim pictures: Christopher Smith’s bloody medieval actioner Black Death; Derek Cianfrance’s death-of-a-marriage melodrama Blue Valentine; the creepy murder-mystery documentary Cropsey; Kim Ji-woon’s savage revenge thriller I Saw The Devil; and Justin Bieber’s Never Say Never.
