Pandora's Box (Unrated)Director: Georg Wilhelm Pabst. With Louise Brooks, Fritz Kortner. (100 min.)2006 is the centennial of actress Louise Brooks, and to honor it, her greatest film, "Pandora's Box," is being released in a new 35-mm print in New York's Film Forum before being taken around the country. Brooks was a silent-era starlet of minor stature before appearing, improbably but unforgettably, in two Pabst classics in 1929. In "Pandora" she plays Lulu, the blithe vixen with a boyish bob haircut who drives men to their doom. Brooks's erotic appeal combined clean-cut wholesomeness (she was raised in Kansas) with a devastating sensuality. Happy 100th! Grade: A

If anyone else spots any other articles, please let me know. There is most likely going to be a flurry of material coming out of New York City.
