Odds and Ends

Lots of new links to get to and not all negative. For New York viewers, there's the chance to catch up with festival faves Alamar and Henri-Georges Clouzot's Inferno which each get a theatrical run this week and, while the results may not be revelatory, both are very much worth seeing. As is Racing Dreams, a sort of Hoop Dreams for the NASCAR set.
