Checklist: Our Top Picks for the Week

Newsweek

Hear Buddy Guy, “Skin Deep.” The reigning king of Chicago blues, Guy slashes his way through “Best Damn Fool,” upstages Eric Clapton on “Every Time I Sing the Blues” and plumbs his roots on “Out in the Woods.” A highly personal affair that suggests this is his time after a while.

Rent “The Bank Job.” This thriller stars Jason Statham and femme fatale Saffron Burrows, two ex-lovers involved in a bank heist that’s about much more than money. Very satisfying indeed.

See “Home Delivery: Fabricating the Modern Dwelling” at New York’s Museum of Modern Art. Complete with five contemporary model homes, the exhibition highlights the prefab house’s centrality in the discourse of sustainability and architectural innovation (through Oct. 20; moma.org).
