In the trippiest "Mad Men" episode since last season's "Far Away Places," key players from both Scdp and Cgc toiled through a manic drug-fueled weekend, Sally dealt with an unexpected guest at Don's apartment and Cosgrove showed off a surprising proficiency for tap dancing.
"The Crash" was a bizarre, funny and frequently disorienting hour, and while it didn't dig deep into many characters, it did reveal another important chapter from Don's past.
[Note: In the spirit of showrunner Matthew Weiner declaring that this season is about Dr. Arnold Rosen telling Don, "People will do anything to alleviate their anxiety," we're tracking the happiness of key characters week by week.]
The "Mad Men" happiness index, week seven:
1) Roger: Pretty much everyone at Scdp-cgc (still without an official name) is completely exhausted from dealing with the demands of Chevy. Not Roger.
2) Ginsberg: A sober Ginsberg is a happy Ginsberg: "I believe I'm the only person in the Time Life building not out of his mind!" But are we ever going to find out what happened with his blind date?
3) Betty: Betty didn't have much to do beyond complain about Sally,...

New Releases Best of the Week Sound of My Voice - 20th Century Fox - Blu-ray, DVD Release Date: Apr 27, 2012 Director: Zal Batmanglij Cast: Christopher Denham, Nicole Vicius, Brit Marling,Davenia McFadden, Kandice Stroh. Full cast + crew Odd, horror-movie-looking cover art aside, Sound of My Voice is one of this year's hidden genre gems. It's a sci-fi movie in the most intellectual sense, which isn't to say that it's pretentious or boring, just that it trades elaborate effects and set pieces for ideas and dialogue. This is a seemingly simple movie about a couple that decides to infiltrate a cult with the plan of outing their leader as a fake, but the more time they spend with her, the more they buy into her story of...

Chicago – Fresh off her Spirit Award nominated film “Another Earth,” the up-and-coming filmmaker Brit Marling again writes and stars in “Sound of My Voice,” portraying another mysterious and mood-inducing character. The future of humanity is the basis for this simple but vivid narrative.
Rating: 4.0/5.0
This is not as good as “Another Earth,” but that’s not to say it isn’t worth experiencing. It has the feel of a chilling “Twilight Zone” episode, establishing a certain aura about Marling’s character, then unraveling her environment by exposing elements that may or may not pertain to the overall thesis. This film is more about emotion, trust and whether Maggie’s story is to be believed, and leaves those themes hanging in the air at the conclusion, to ponder within our own inherent morality.
Brit Marling is a woman named Maggie, and she is holed up in a nondescript suburban tract home.

Title: Sound of My Voice Director: Zal Batmanglij Starring: Brit Marling, Christopher Denham, Nicole Vicius, Davenia McFadden, James Urbaniak, Avery Pohl A gripping, low-fi, arthouse mystery/thriller that steadily swells the pulse of viewers, like an incrementally inclined treadmill, “Sound of My Voice” is a joint exercise in disquiet and intellectual provocation, and far and away one of the best cinematic offerings of the year so far. Slim (at only 84 minutes) but still never less than spellbinding, the low-budget feature serves as a lesson in the power of storycraft, and further confirms the talents of burgeoning multi-hyphenate Brit Marling. Skipping past any of their recruitment or plotting, the Los Angeles-set “Sound of [ Read More ]...

Director Zal Batmanglij’s Sound Of My Voice has been something of a mystery thus far, with an intentionally ambiguous ad campaign focused on little more than sign language (a secret handshake) and a loose outline (see below). Almost as if recognizing a potential mis-marketing snafu, Fox Searchlight has made the first twelve minutes of the picture available online for free, hoping to explain a bit and lure potential audiences to the theaters when the film is released on April 27th. A new one sheet has also surfaces, giving a more human face to the campaign. Sound Of My Voice stars Christopher Denham, Nicole Cicius, Brit Marling, Avery Kristen Pohl, Davenia McFadden, and Richard Wharton.
Synopsis (courtesy Fox Searchlight):
“A journalist and his girlfriend get pulled in while they investigate a cult whose leader claims to be from the future.”

Cheryl Dunye's deft, intelligent movie follows an inmate, Treasure Lee (Yolonda Ross in her feature film debut), as she searches for the convict mother she hasn't seen since birth. The film should do well for HBO -- it airs June 23 -- especially on repeat broadcasts as word-of-mouth builds. Dunye exhibits an admirable, unsentimental compassion in her storytelling, and the film feels more authentic than HBO's acclaimed series "Oz," whose florid, operatic touches are often ludicrous. The film screened at the San Francisco International Film Festival.
Treasure, incarcerated in a juvenile facility, stabs an inmate so that she'll get transferred to a maximum-security state pen, where a woman named Brownie (Davenia McFadden) resides. Treasure believes that Brownie is her mother. Brownie occupies a rarefied place in the prison. Feared by the other inmates, she runs a smuggling operation with the help of a corrupt guard.
Dunye shows the pseudo-family structures that develop. Brownie is the "husband," her lover is the "wife," and she has several "daughters," including Kit (Rain Phoenix), who's jealous of Treasure's claim of blood ties.
What's most affecting about the film are its details. An older Asian woman gains access to the kitchen and makes fried rice to get Treasure's protection. Treasure's bunkmate castigates her for using the chapel for sex.
The inmates' basketball games reveal and shape the hierarchy among them. Perhaps Dunye's greatest achievement is the group therapy sessions, which feature several actual former convicts. In these meetings, the women sometimes reveal who they really are, and the hard mask of prison life briefly drops from their faces. A white, older member of the group has well-groomed, gray-blond hair and fastidiously applied eye makeup. But when she tells the women what's what, you see the inner steel that's allowed her to survive.
It's difficult to tell if Ross is much of an actor, but she's an amazing camera subject. She has the hard-packed look of a track sprinter who never wins. McFadden gives a ferocious performance. Her Brownie is a master manipulator who's excised all emotion from herself. Phoenix is surprisingly good as the dour, bitter Kit. Just when you've dismissed the character, she becomes the most dangerous.
Dunye uses violence economically and, as a result, it has shock and importance when it occurs. She handles the melodrama well, and the plot turns are surprising and well timed.
Occasionally, the dialogue in the script -- by Dunye and Catherine Crouch -- resorts to banalities, as in the scene where Brownie accepts Treasure as her daughter. During Treasure's illicit foray into the chapel, Dunye mistakenly includes a gratuitous, obvious shot of a Madonna and child painting. Also, the film's last scene is unsatisfying -- ambiguous without being evocative. But despite its flaws, "Stranger Inside" is a film with impact.
