So happy that our brilliant/lowbrow screening of Coogan’s Bluff last Friday reminded NY Mag that “Clint Eastwood wasn’t always just a middling director whose movies require night-vision goggles.” Check out this week’s Approval Matrix! Want to see what other brilliant screenings (lowbrow or otherwise) are coming up at 92YTribeca? The February film calendar is right here.

Hoodlums and Heartbreak in Old New York!
It’s gentrification 1930’s-style, when Director William Wyler’s 1937 film Dead End screens at 92YTribeca on February 1 and the slum-dwelling Dead End Kids find themselves living next door to a new luxury high-rise.
Hollywood social-message melodrama at its finest, William Wyler and Lillian Hellman’s adaptation of Sidney Kingsley’s Dead End is a masterpiece of storytelling, film technique and naked emotion. As a portrait of New York’s haves and have-nots, it’s as vital as any other movie you’ll see this year.
Host Elliott Kalan and a special guest will discuss the special qualities of urban real estate, why Bogie is still the best, and how a rough-edges street gang somehow became slapstick movie stars.
This Week at 92YTribeca: Ed Burns, Mary Stuart Masterson, Ed Koch, Nick Zammuto and more.
Time Out New York has a cool feature this week (it looks really good in the print mag): New York decade by decade - See the city in a period-specific light at exhibits, lectures and parties.
