Choose your fighter: ‘Evil Dead’ and ‘Perfect Blue’

It’s a slow week for new releases. So catch up on Oscar nominees if that’s your thing, or dig into some continuing film series around town. Thai director Anocha Suwichakornpong is at the Walker this month, the Trylon is featuring French suspense master Henri-Georges Clouzot and Japanese anime great Satoshi Kon, and The Heights is serving up some Tim Burton.

Oh, and speaking of Thai filmmakers, Apichatpong Weerasethakul's first English language film, the acclaimed Memoria, is finally coming to limited theaters nationwide, with screenings at the Walker on June 24-25 .
