If you’d like to see Saturday Night Live veterans Al Franken, Dan Aykroyd, Dana Carvey, and Kevin Nealon together again (and you live in the Los Angeles area), you’re in luck. The foursome is appearing at the House of Blues this Saturday and for the low, low price of $2,400 (more expensive tickets are available) you can attend their show. Part of the proceeds will go towards Franken’s 2014 Senate reelection campaign. [ HuffPo ]

Near the beginning of English director Daniel Barber’s Harry Brown, a woman pushing a baby stroller is first terrorized, then shot dead, by a couple of cracked-out teenagers whizzing around on a too-small bicycle, like insane circus clowns out of your worst nightmare. We don’t see who these kids are, but in the film’s opening — a snippet of grainy footage that looks to have been shot with a cell phone — we see a brood of hooligans crunched together in small, enclosed space, getting high and brandishing weapons that we can’t get a clear look at. This is just the beginning of the pileup of horrors Barber has in store for us as he spins out his aggressively sordid story of fear and ineffectual police protection in a South London council estate, and it’s not for the faint of heart. There’s just one problem: Stay away, and you’ll miss Michael Caine.

REVIEW: Michael Caine Gets Violent, Mesmerizing Showcase in Harry Brown
The grim, almost impossibly violent Harry Brown will no doubt draw endless comparisons to Dirty Harry and other risible exemplars of do-it-yourself crimefighting. But beyond the grit of the British projects where lawless hell descends, the film truly thrives in the quiet dignity afforded by leading man Michael Caine. Even as his ex-Marine title character goes to war against the subculture of hoodlums, addicts, dealers and thieves, the 77-year-old acting legend reinforces the bloodshed with purpose and gravitas. Clearly there’s a little something more going on here than just target practice; Brown’s mission to restore order is perhaps secondary only to Caine’s own to effect change.
