Film: Stray Dogs: “Ten years on, American independent moviemakers seem to have come to terms with the anxiety of Quentin Tarantino’s influence — the guns-&-blather template no longer gluts Sundance, and third-generation straight-to-tapers like 4 Dogs Playing Poker and Gunblast Vodka occupy only nominal Blockbuster shelf space. Not so with the British, whose industry’s ironic-gangster saliva glands are still in overdrive, and whose reawakened taste for legendary Swinging London hoodlums scans oddly like cultural pride.” The Village Voice
