2008 Rewinds: E for Expats



Expats. As usual, Arkies abroad represented. David Gordon Green directed the year’s funniest film, “Pineapple Express.” Al Green, at 62, reasserted himself as soul man number one with “Lay It Down.” Jeff Nichols’ “Shotgun Stories” finally gained broad release and even broader critical embrace. Former !!! noise-maker John Pugh released a smart, dance-y EP with his new project, Free Blood. Lil JJ covered the election for Nickelodeon and toured with Bone Thugs. Clark Duke starred in a movie called “Sex Drive.”
