Did you miss: Hank anD asHa This time, for a change, I’m previewing a movie you don’t have to miss. Hank and Asha will play through Thursday, June 12, at Catamount Arts in St. Johnsbury — a great resource for art-house fare up north.

Full disclosure: I heard about Hank and Asha from my coworker, staff writer Ethan de Seife, who knows the filmmakers. If you look closely, you’ll see him in a restaurant scene! seveNDAYsvt.com
In the Movies You Missed & More feature every Friday, I review movies that were too weird, too cool, too niche or too terrible for Vermont's multiplexes. Should you catch up with them on DVD or VOD, or keep missing them?

This week I'm watching: My Darling CleMentine
One career ago, I was a professor of film studies. I gave that up to move to Vermont and write for Seven Days, but movies will always been my first love.
Did you know you can recycle your used compact fluorescent bulbs and fluorescent tubes?
seveN DAYs
My Darling Clementine, John Ford's brilliant 1946 fictionalization of the events that led up to the gunfight at the OK Corral, is generally regarded as one of the greatest westerns ever made. And it is surely that. But it's also Exhibit A in the case that I make for Henry Fonda being the greatest screen actor of them all.
Not only is it a good idea, it’s the law. In addition to helping keep our environment clean, you’re saving energy too. Because fluorescent bulbs use less—and we think that’s a very bright idea.
